Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus Mary Shelley

I finished Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, I guess being sick gave me the opportunity to finally finish it. It was good, not excellent, and I am sure a sequel is coming.

I have just downloaded and I am getting ready to enjoy this:

Spanish title: "Confieso que he vivido: Memorias"

I downloaded it both in English and Spanish. I like to see how well the translation is done to see if it truly reflects the meaning of his work.

A Clive Cussler book..crescent dawn...love those fast pase action books.

Sassy · 12-01-2011, 06:36 PM

"Women who run with the wolves"

Read the chapter on "The Ugly Duckling" the other night. There were some lessons to absorb from the story that were enlightening. But mostly, it made me feel pretty blessed and grateful because I've enjoyed a great deal of acceptance in my life from family, friends and peers.

i finished the millennium trilogy
overall i liked it but what was up with all that product placement?
if you read it on a tablet are there links so you can order everything too?
big gripe for me.

I also recently finished devil in the white city by erik larson
it's a non fiction account of 2 figures during the period surrounding the chicago world's fair
one the head architect of the fair and the other a serial killer
i enjoyed it

justkim · 12-01-2011, 07:07 PM

I have given in and picked up the first book from a series that is on HBO. Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin, so far so good.

My honey and I have started the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. I just started the first book last night and read about 8 chapaters, D started the series on Saturday and is already on the last book. Yep, within the first few pages you get sucked in.

JackMcGrath · 12-06-2011, 09:49 AM

Stone Butch Blues - Leslie Feinberg (a re-read, of course).

The Help - Kathryn Stockett (saw the movie, hoping the book is just as good).

Double Cross - James Patterson

My best friend just gave me this book for my girls to read. I haven't given it to them yet as I wanted to peruse it first. Do you think it's age appropriate for a 13 & 10 year old?

Started reading this last night as well...

Catalina, As far as age appropriate for 10 - 13. I haven't a clue as yet, but it is listed as a YA series.

I just chewed through those on my Kindle. I'll be re-reading them. Lots of interesting themes.

Tawse, it's pretty brutal. The 13 yr old yes, but if the 10 yr old is prone to nightmares, I'd hold off for a year or so.
