What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk II

The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck

A John Green fan?!! I agree with you completely on TFiOS: Augustus and Hazel were just so amazingly developed and reading their story was very refreshing. I must admit, I was a bit wary when I found out that John was writing a book, and that it was in the voice of a teenage girl, with cancer. I thought that he wouldn't be able to pull it off, with him being a 30 something male WITHOUT cancer. I was pleasantly surprised when I read the book and found that he didn't sugar coat anything. He's a really brilliant YA author, who has the ability to tackle certain topics realistically and still make everything laugh-out-loud hilarious. Sorry I'm rambling. Anyway, have you read Looking for Alaska by John Green? If not, I strongly recommend it; dare I say that I thought it was better than TFiOS? If you have read it, what did you think?

Sorry for the long pargraph, I just got really excited when I saw that you seem to like JG

I think it's hard to read a John Green book and not be a fan. I'd been watching John and Hank's vlogbrothers channel for a long time before I finally decided to give him a read, he's great obviously. As for Looking for Alaska, I haven't read it yet. I'm currently reading The Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and I'm really enjoying it. Looking for Alaska will hopefully be my next read, but unfortunately I can't find a Kindle copy for it on Amazon, so i'm guessing it's not available in that format. I should be able to lend it off a friend though, so i'm excited for it!

One Hundred Years of Solitude. It's good/incestuous

The Perks of Being a Wallflower was really really great. I'm excited to see how Chbosky adapts it to the screen this year.

In a bit of change in direction from what I've been reading lately, I've started The Lovely Bones by Alive Sebold. Only on chapter four atm, but it's good so far.

I've read that - I would've been so lost without the family tree at the front! The having the same name thing got a little confusing after a while..

I'm reading 'Into the Darkest Corner' by Elizabeth Haynes. Good so far, a little repetitive.

Tbh I haven't read much recently as so busy

I have loads of great books to read on my kindle; just no time to read them. S.J. Watson - Before I Go To Bed and The Hunger Games I'm keen to read. The Hunger games is really to see what all the fuss is about

These were the last two books I read. Be prepared to be disappointed with Before I go to Sleep

Why were you disappointed with Before I Go To Sleep?

I really liked it!

It's odd because I liked it as I was reading it, but when I finished and reconsidered I felt really negative about it.

There were a few major plot holes where the author had actually contradicted herself, as well as aspects that weren't exactly realistic. Plus I didn't like the ending.
