Either Moriarty by Anthony Harowitz or In Cold Blood by Trumen Capote. Harowitz has a real skill for transporting the reader into the world of Sherlock Holmes. It is like reading one of Conan Doyle's Holmes stories! But the way Capote writes is just fascinating, and the subject matter intrigued me right from the word go.
So many books to read, so little time..

It's a draw between 'As You Like It' by Shakespeare and 'The Buddha and The Borderline' by Kiera Van Gelder.

I've read the first four Harry Potter books so far this past month, and I'd have to say that The Prisoner of Azkaban and The Goblet of Fire were my very favorites of them all. It's a tie between those two.

For me it has to be Lila by Marilynne Robinson - I absolutely love her writing style.

Latest Review: Island Games by Caleb J. Boyer

I started The Maze Runner series a few days ago, and I am completely enthralled! I am looking forward to the end, though, because what the characters are going through right now is awful! I hope everything works out for them!!! :shock:

Eleanor & Park for sure! That book is so adorable and cute. I finished it in a day, believe it or not. I had a hard time getting into it but once I did, I was hooked. It was so sweet and I teared up a little at the end. I wish Rainbow Rowell will make a sequel to it because I want to know what happens next. I want Eleanor and Park's love story to continue. I've also read Fangirl by her but I didn't finish. I was on page 250 something before I quit. It's not as good as E&P to be honest. I enjoy short stories better than 400 page ones because it's quicker to read.

Latest Review: "Jump" by Michel Sauret

Post by MatthewAlexander »

It was actually a book I was lucky enough to read through the review team called Beasts and Savages. I wrote a review on it and there's a link to purchasing the book there, but basically it was about a female dominated society, plus werewolves. Super unique, and such a fast-paced, interesting read. I can't wait for the sequel.

The Heart Goes Last by Atwood. Man this is an amazing book. I'm going to a book group tomorrow for it and its going to be HUGE. I think there are like 20 people which is CRAZY! I was very sadly mistaken with what I thought Atwood wrote about. I'm actually regretting not picking her up sooner.

Tresspasser by Tana French. This is the 6th book in her Dublin Murder Squad series, although each book can be read as a stand alone book as they follow different main characters. I LOVE her writing, she is very good a setting a mood and grabbing readers. This installment lived up to my expectations!

Dracula by Bram Stoker. I could tell from the style of writing that it was ahead of its time!

It was actually in October that I read "All the light we cannot see" by Anthony Doerr.
I just loved this book! The storyline, the characters, the narration!! It was one of a kind!!
