moving on to another dystopian book... 36% done and it's good thus far.


"Under the Never Sky" by Veronica Rossi

Oh - it's part 1 of a trilogy. The other two books are not yet available.

Finished "Under the Never Sky" - I will definitely be getting book 2 when it is released. It's a different take on the YA Dystopian genre. Anyone who has ever "stepped foot" into Second Life will appreciate aspects of it. One plot device draws to mind "Twilight" (not the saturated teenage angst part, and not the sparkly vampire part either...). It's a good opening book.


Now starting "Hollowland" - the first book of a series (not sure how many there are / will be) and it was a free kindle book! So far you can tell it's not as polished as the other books, but it's entertaining.

the Scoop: YA Dystopian. Zombies. And a kick ass (from the get go) female lead. (who named her pet lioness [yes a bloody LIONESS] Ripley... and yes that's after Sigourney)

a lil erotica .. and dang she can write! must stay off n the morning lol :|

I bought this last year and picked it up a couple of weeks ago - now I can't put it down!!

A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness

For those Sookie fans or those into Vamps, Daemons or Witches, its actually a good read!

I always have at least 3 books on the go! They're all rereads, but those are most comforting.

Tales of the City - Armistead Maupin

Mary Wakefield - Mazo de la Roche

Anne of the Island - Lucy Maud Montgomery (I love you, iBooks)

Quentin Tarentino and Philosophy

Imagine Kill Bill analyzed from the viewpoint of western and eastern moral theory.

It's part of the series Philosophy and Pop Culture. If there's something you watch (from family guy to house to twilight and about 100 more), they've probably given it the philosophical once-over. Enlightening and entertaining, though it's good to know a bit about the major philosophical movements.

I just finished the Hunger Games-- Its really a good book. I would let my kids read it. There is nothing really awful in it.. Its strange and interesting. I am an avid reader and a local DJ was dared to read it on the radio, made me curious as I heard them talking about it.. I bought the next book its a trilogy! You might like it if you have time to read! Just offering my opinion. Let me know how it goes =)

Just finished Jane Lynch's memoir Happy Accidents....was pretty disappointed, actually. On the one hand, I appreciated the honest display of her every insecurity... that's not so typical of celebrity memoirs. But as I read anecdote after anecdote that showed her lack of self-love, I kept hearing Wayne and Garth whining, "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" If she was trying to prove she's not like Sue Sylvester, she showed me. Over and over. And over.

Next up: A Dance with Dragons, the 5th book in the Game of Thrones series. Let's hope I finish before the library wants it back.

i was really disappointed in it. Loved all the scholarship stuff and there were some good ideas, but the characters and the language were so conventionally romance novel. Like Sookie better.

How interesting, is this a memoir or a novel?

The movie Inn of the Sixth Happiness was based on her life. With Ingrid Bergman.

"The Tipping Point" -Malcolm Gladwell

"The Illuminatus! Trilogy" by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson

I am on the first book, "In the Eye of the Pyramid"

Finished Hollowland by Amanda Hocking and started Hollowmen (book 2) last night. Already 40% through.

These are not the books you want to read if you're looking for complex plots or characters. Think "Resident Evil" in book form... If you're looking for a kick ass protagonist and lots of gory zombie killing... this book is for you.

Better than Popcorn with heavy butter...

I'm currently half way through 'The Hypnotist: A Novel" by Lars Kepler

It is a Swedish noir-crime-thriller, it was described as "methadone for readers suffering from Steig Larrson withdrawl" :)

It is very well written & riveting.
