Books

I'am looking for a new book to read. Any suggestions?

Re: Books

Right now I'm reading Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin and I'm loving it. Here's some I've read and loved:

The Help
One Day
Chasing Harry Winston
Girls In White Dresses
The Hunger Games Trilogy
Water For Elephants
Something Borrowed
Love The One Your With
The Sookie Stackhouse Series

Re: Books

What type of books do you like?

Personally, I loved these books and recommend them to everyone:

-The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
-Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen (Read the book before you watch the movie, the movie ruins what I thought was the BEST part of the book.)
-The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
-Anything by Jen Lancaster (Hysterical chick-lit!)
-Chelsea Handler's books.
-One Day by David Nicholls- wasn't a fan at first but I wound up loving the end of it.
-The Sookie Stackhouse collection (if you like paranormal romance).

Also, check out the Storyboard on LIF. It's very active and they have great recs over there.

Re: Books

I agree with The Help. I also just read Lorraine Braccos book which was a good read, as well as the book ROOM which i thought was amazing!!!!!

Currently i'm reading Missing: A Memoir by Lindsay Harrison and am obsessed!!!! Its a true story heres the blurp amazon has about it:

A twenty-five-year-old recent graduate of Columbia University’s MFA program, Lindsay Harrison began writing Missing as a way to cope with a terrible loss. During her sophomore year at Brown University, Lindsay received a phone call from her brother that her mother was missing. Forty days later they discover the unthinkable: Their mother’s body had been found in the ocean.
Missing is at first a page-turning account of those first forty days, as it chronicles dealings with detectives, false sightings, wild hope, and deep despair. The balance of the story is a candid, emotional exploration of a daughter’s search for solace after tragedy as she tries to understand who her mother truly was, makes peace with her grief, and becomes closer to her father and brothers as her mother’s death forces her to learn more about her mother than she ever knew before.




Anyway-- HTH

Re: Books

Thanks girls, I'm going to look into a few of these books. I read the Hugar games. Loved the first book. The HELP is one of my all time faves. I love any books by Emily Giffin (Something Borrowed author), she is amazing and I have read every book she has written for adults. I always forget about the Sookie series. Thanks for the reminder MrsTarricone2B and Jiiillbabii!

They're so GOOD though lately! I don't remember YA books being this good when I was a kid! Maybe I just didn't appreciate them.
