What are you reading? I need some recs...

[pinkpeony6210]

I'm usually too busy to read what I really want to read during the school year because I'm teaching/reading three different novels at any given time. I miss reading right before bed, so I want to start up again.

Any recommendations?

[rainbowchip]

What types of things do you like to read? I have a ton of recs!

[laurack]

Just finished a book called into the darkest corner, excellent! Before that I read Wally lambs wishing and hoping. Also great!

I read a ton, so have plenty of recs, what genre do you like?

[lolaburns]

I'm reading " We Need to Talk About Kevin". I'm not sure what I think of it so far.

Who recommended a Vampire book post apocalyptic maybe... it is going to be a series and the names sound very religious, but they arent....

I'm currently reading The 4th book in the Game Of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire) series. I don't know if that is everyone's cup of tea though.
I loved Ready Player One and Gone Girl. The Outlander series is great! The Hunger Games series, Delerium series, and Divergent series.

Those are all I can think of off the top of my head.

Anything by LJ Smith. And I'm not saying this as a Vampire Diaries tv show fan (b/c I don't watch it) but as a lover of her books since high school.

What kind of books do you like to read?

[charlielove]

11/22/63 by Stephen King was amazing. I loved it, not what I expected from one of his books.

Currently, I'm reading Under the Banner of Heaven about the history of the Mormon religion. It is fascinating.

I have tons more if I know what kind of books you like.

[raynes]

I'm reading A Memory of Light, the 14th and final book in the Wheel of Time series. Don't start that series unless you a) like fantasy books, and b) really like reading, as their each near 1000 pages.

I'm a little bit through the first 100 pages and the mother makes me seriously want to punch a wall. Does it get better? Because I'm over her.

The first book is "The Passage"
The second book is "The Twelve"

I just finished reading both -- they are great! The third book comes out in 2014.

Thanks for all of the recommendations! I really like to read cheesy feel-good books that make you cry...does that make sense? I love Mitch Albom. I also like something more intense like Room, and Sarah's Key. I'm not a fan of Jodi Picoult, Nicholas Sparks, or anything too romantic.

Has anyone read Divergent? Isn't that part of a series?

[charlielove]

Divergent is great! It's the first book of a series. The second book is Insurgent, and the thirs book comes out later this year. The books are good and easy to read. If you liked Hunger Games or similar books, you'll like it I think.

That's what I've heard. I'm definitely putting the series on my "must read" list!

[hass2001]

I'm currently reading Delerium, it's very good so far. Hunger Games-esque if you read and liked that series.

[EmmieB1025]

I'm reading the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. They are quick, easy reads.

I liked Delerium better but they were both good.

Thanks you! You rock my socks.

[laurack]

Have you read any by sophie kinsella? I love hers! Twenties girl was the most recent one I think, it was great.

I used to love jodi picoult but lately I am "meh" about her. Sort of feels like all her books are the same!

[ruby412]

Divergent and Insurgent were both fabulous! I'd highly recommend them.

I also recently read The Book Thief, which I thought was great. I second the recommendation for 11/22/63. It was a truly amazing read. I just finished Room and now I'm reading The Mill River Recluse which is okay so far, but not knocking my socks off.

Next I might read January First which is about a little girl who has schizophrenia. It's supposed to be really good.

Let us know what you choose!

Love these! I always pre order the newest one.

[petitepomme]

I'm reading Altar of Bones by Philip Carter right now. Very Dan Brown-esque. I'm liking it so far.

[bubbyboo]

I liked Divergent and Insurgent. Also Article 5 and The Prodigy. Those are all teen dysptopian-ish, if you're into that.

I just brought home Janie Face to Face which is the conclusion to the Face on the Milk Carton series. Also teen. I need to read grown up books every now and then but I just don't feel like it lately.
