You know when you get that fuzzy warm feeling inside when you've just finished the last line of a really good book? Or the complete opposite feeling of an ok book with a bad ending? I invite you to come to this thread, when you're still on that reading high, and write down a few thoughts on the book and if you would recommend it or not.
So yeah, if you have nothing at the moment, come back when you're on a book high and share it!
I just finished reading a book a few days ago, it's called The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause. It was a pretty good book, recommended to me by a really good friend of mine (x_becky). It's about a girl dealing with her bff moving far away, and her mother dying of cancer. She finds a really strange boy, who is a lonely and emotionally hurt vampire, and they help each other out and fall in love. It compares to Twilight (even though it's older), but the characters have a lot more [deeper] issues than Bella & Edward do. I'd recommend it if you're up for it.
OYA.
THAT WAS A GOOD BOOK.
I just read Let's Get Lost by Sarra Manning. It was a really good book. Guitar Girl, also by Sarra, is a great book as well.
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
Shoot, last book I actually had time to read was HP 7. Before that was Machiavelli's "The Prince".
Don't get much time anymore b/c whenever I'm reading, its textbooks.
But this summer I'm going to read Machiavelli's other works, plus whatever poems and stuff by Langston Hughes I can find, and possibly the Autobiography of Malcolm X, too.
I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and, well, it was great - definitely better than the seventh, and it could also be the best book, even though I'm still a fan of OOTP - with its intensity, its shocking moments. Very well written, as I've suggested. Definitely read it (again) !
I just finished Breaking Dawn! And I'm little bit pissed because I read it so quickly (2 days) and sad because its all over now...but other than that I'm satisfied with the ending. =]
^my sister is all about those breaking dawn ..twilight books haha. Anyways, I just finished reading
Heavier than heaven: the biography of Kurt Cobain. So good..the author did years and years of interviews, research and it really paid off. Plus in the book theres actually clippings of Kurt's journals..it's really sad to understand how depressed and unhappy he was.
I started reading the series about...five years ago...
They just released vol 7 & 8, because the fans wanted them to finish the story arc...
Unfortunately, the company feels that enough people aren't buying the books, so they're not going to bother finishing the rest of the series.
I think it's a shitty thing to do, especially since it's one of my favorite series, but they're doing it.
^ I finished HP and the Deathly Hallows (I can appreciate the journey more and more, and damn, I want to read the books again and again, cos every time I read one, I always miss something) this week and I started reading the Twilight book that I gave my sister for her birthday just for the sake of knowing what the fuss is about . It's kind of slow, but I'm halfway through it (The Cullens chapter) so hopefully something interesting will happen.
The only Beatle autobiography. I was expecting more. He didn'ty really offer any insights into his life, it was more "I did this and it made me want to write such and such a song". It was still interesting to read though and I liked all the pictures and handwritten lyrics.
What Did You Just Finish Reading?
