(slowly but surely making my way through this too)
here's a little of what i've been reading lately.
good:
alright guys TO. BE. HONEST, i read this book.
it was free on the kindle store, okay?
and honestly, i did not hate it.
was it a literary masterpiece? no. will it forever change the world of literature as we know it? no. but was it boring? no.
i read it on several trips to the lake and for that, it was perfect.
better:
sarah recommended this book to me a few weeks ago and y'all, i could kiss her for it.
i read it in about three hours and didn't put it down once. read it.
warning: this book is kind of scary and also made me weep like a small child. but it is an unbelievable story that had me guessing till the very end and i loooooved it.
best:
lauren texted me a few weeks ago and said, "you have to read this book with me." and while i scoffed at the $12.99 kindle price, i bought it anyways.
y'all, best $12.99 i ever spent.
this book is I N S A N E and i had absolutely no idea how it was going to end. even when it ended i still couldn't believe it.
i read the second half on our drive back from arizona and i kept going "NICK. NICK LISTEN TO THIS. LISTEN TO WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN THIS BOOK."
incredible story telling. INCREDIBLE.
but help help help!
now friends, i am in a lull. i haven't read anything good in a few weeks and i'm looking for the next good thing.
so, what have you read recently (or not recently) and loved?
I need some new reads!! Sorry I can't help you, but THANK YOU for giving me some ideas :)
ReplyDeleteThe Body Finder series is great! It's not exactly a literary gem either, but it's really entertaining and suspenseful. It's basically the equivalent of watching a thriller movie.
ReplyDeleteThese all sound so good! Also I nominated you for the Liebster award!

I just read Gone Girl too and completely agree with the insanity that it was. I was so angry at the end but I'm learning to accept that it was "fitting" for them.
ReplyDeleteI also read Midwives by Chris B.... (can't think of how to spell it) but it was pretty good.
I just finished Gone Girl as per your recommendation...man it was INSANE!! So many twists and turns throughout the whole thing and I really didn't like the ending, but it was the best ending for the book. (If you know what I mean, it's that it really was a well thought out ending and I just didn't like that it had to end that way) Instead of paying full price for books next time, I always go to this ebook site where they have tons of free ebooks and it's worked out great for me! I have so many books on my ipod now. Go to epubbud.com and download most of your favorite books to your heart's content :) That's where I found Gone Girl from.
