The last book I read was The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

I would give it 10/10, very emotional and honest with no excess. Definitely one of my favorite books!

I finished A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. It's been a while since I've read such a good book. DATo and Fran have written reviews previously and both recommended it. Their reviews were better than anything I could write, so look back a ways and you'll find them. I rate the book a 5*

The last book I've read was "Safe Heaven" by Nicholas Sparks. I love his books.

Last book I read was revealed. By PC Cast. Is was good but left a lot open. Now to wait a year to find out how it goes. Too many questions unanswered.

I'm almost finished with Stephen King's 11/22/63 and depending on how it ends I'll probaby give it a 4/5. The last book I finished was Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety, which was a pretty forgetable book and I can't even think of the author off the top of my head. But I do know that I gave it a 3/5, only because I feel so bad giving anything lower than a 3...

The Highest Tide by Jim Lynch, the story of a 13year old vertically challenged boy with a love of the sea, and what lives in it, his relationship with his parents and the love of his life.. the girl next door.
I would happily recommend this book to anyone and give it a 4.75/5.

I read The Highest Tide back around 2006 & it didn't do it for me at all - I couldn't recommending it to be honest.

Today I finished Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood ... what a book and what an imagination! I enjoyed it immensly and can't wait to get started on The Year of the Flood. Oryx & Crake is a definite 5* - no surprise it got nominated for the Booker in '03,just surprised it didn't win.

I have read both "Oryx & Crake" and "The Year of the Flood" and loved them both. The third book just came out, but I have heard it is less good than them.

gali and Fran,

The Night Circus

OK, you've convinced me. Just put a library "hold" on it online. I'm first in line for it so it should be available for pick up in a day or two.

@DATo
I think you will like it .. I'll be looking forward to your opinion.

DATo, you probably will like it as you and Fran have verry similar tastes in books. I had a real hard time with this book as I too, hate the circus, clowns, etc. I wasn't able to get over that or into the book. I put it down after about 80 pages. But, I'm definitely the minority as most people rave about this one.

No, I share your pain A24. Just finished it and though I thought Morgenstern has a very nice writing style which I enjoyed reading and the story was very original I almost gave up on it at more than one point too. The book had great descriptions of visual imagery and I could accept the surrealistic qualities but it just seemed to drag on forever. It got better about half way through but as Fran noted the ending was not good at all. My previous read was The Hunger Games and while I also had some criticism of that book I enjoyed it FAR more than this one. I'd give The Night Circus a 2.5 of 5*. It's worth reading for the reasons I mention above, and I would cautiously recommend it, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it highly.

The last book I read was Mistress by Leda Swann. I gave it a 3/5 starts because the book was enjoyable, but it could've been better.

I finished "City of Lost Souls" by Cassandra Clare. This was the 5th book in the Mortal Instruments series. I was tired of the series by book 4 with all of its violence and demons. I would not have continued into book 5 except that this was a buddy read. Buddy reads are good for getting us to read something we normally wouldn't or something out of our comfort zone. I'm glad I read this one as I enjoyed this 5th book almost as much as the 1st in the series. I'm glad the story refocused on Clary and Jace with some twists. 4/5. Thankfully, this series will be over next May with the 6th and final book.

[CarrieBrown36]

I just finished "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline for fun-- GREAT book!

This is one of my favorite books. I highly recommend the audiobook read by Wil Wheaton. He does an amazing job, I've listened to it 5 times. In fact, if you like audiobooks I'd recommend anything read by Wheaton. He picks amazing books to work on and he really draws you into the story.

[booklover24]

The last book I read was called The Smart One by: Jennifer Close. I give it 4/5 stars.

I thought it was good but..... You kept jumping from one character to the next. And you never get the male character point of view.

[MjBain9]

Colin Bateman's 'I Predict a Riot'. 4/5 stars.

Good plot, witty writing and humor and enough twists to keep the mystery going.
