T, I just bought Delirium by Lauren Oliver.  I haven't read it yet but I like what I see from the reviewssss.  Alix gave it 5 stars so I think I'll be obsessed.

Haha I know, I was so mad when I finished the 3rd one and realized it was a to be continued basically.  Especially since we probably have to wait a whole year before the 4th comes out.  I had a hard enough time waiting a week for the 3rd one to be released, and the 2nd didn't even end in a cliffhanger.  

Pink- if TR doesn't want your Water for Elephants, can i borrow it?

I haven't read the Wings book yet but I think I'll start it next now!

sophie Kinsella has books under her real name: Gemma Townley. 

I've read "Little White Lies", "when in Rome" and "the importance of being married"

Other good light hearted chick lit I've read and enjoyed

- Chasing Harry Winston and Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger
- Confessions of a Shoe Addict and Shoe addicts anonymous which go together.  I think SAA is first... by Beth Harbison

I have so many of them at home, I'll have to look.

There's a faerie book I'm reading now, a YA book called Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.  It's also the first of three (or maybe more, now; I'm not following Melissa's LJ actively anymore).

FutureMrsTR

DNB - I read WFE so it's all yours   And I think I'll have enough to get me through for awhile, haha.  Now I'm buying books for next month!

Of course Beachy!  PM or FB me your e-mail address and I'll send it over whenever you are ready for it.

YGPM Pink.  Thanks!

Snowflower and the Secret Fan was relatively horrible. HORRIBLE.

I have all geared up to go: Divergent, The Shack, City of Ashes (even though I didn't really like City of Bones, I've started the series so now I must finish), and I'm trying to find some good ones, too.

You know what else is just not good? The David Sedaris books you people told me to read. OMG. Horrible.

FutureMrsTR

YGPM too DNB

FutureMrsTR

Fishy, I was just eh about The Shack, really.

Beachy730

Back at you TR.  

crfische

Yeah, I've started it, and I'm not like...OMG so good, but it's better than some of the other books I've been reading lately.

NOT THAT THERE IS MUCH COMPETITION.

<div>Really?  I have never once thought anything but good about him.  I actually have thought to myself many times how I'm Team David, I just didn't know anyone else who read the series to talk about it with.  Now that you brought it up I could definitely see them writing him as a troll or something, but I really hope they don't.  </div>

crfische

See, now I really want to read this series, but I WILL ALSO BE SO MAD IF THEY DONT FINISH THE SERIES.

I'm so torn.

No spoilers about Wings!

Ghoti

Some of my favs- they are YAish, but I still enjoyed them-

 Weather Warden series by Rachel Caine

City of Ashes series by Cassandra Clare

The olympians series- Rick Riordan

Uglys, Prettys and Specials by Scott Westerfeld

The Host- Stephanie Meyer

The Passage by Justin Cronin

<div>Haha no worries.  I'm just so excited to have someone (and hopefully more people soon) to talk about it with!</div>

TR - I don't know if any of these are the Zombie book you were talking about, but:

World War Z
Breathers: A Zombie's Lament
Pride and Prejudice & Zombies
Het Madden, A Zombie Perspective


I also listed a bunch of books over on SB, but they are probably not your style, based on what you listed above. They are more crime/thriller novels.

I felt the same way.  I couldn't even finish it because it just got too...weird? Not a fan. 

Snippylynn

Which series Fishster?  I thought you didn't like fantasy type stuff?

Beach, I'll PM you so we can have a little convo about them.  Did you know that fucking MILEY CYRUS is tapped to play Laurel?!?! WTF?

crfische

WINGS! I don't think I will, and then I DO. IT'S BIZARRE.

But I don't like the city of bones stuff...but I thought I would.

I suck at books.

Beachy730

Definitely read it Fish.  I'm not a Twilight fan and loved this series.  

Seriously Snips I will boycott the movies if it's Miley Cyrus.  She is NOTHING like Laurel is described in the books.

FutureMrsTR

Miley Cyrus??  WTF?  Laurel is supposed to be kind of ethereal and graceful and Miley is crass and redneck.

pinkpinot

Fishy what genre of books do you like?  Those Who Save Us might have been the best book I read this year.  It's a book about the Holocaust told through a German's perspective.  I am a stickler for Holocaust books though.

Snippylynn

Fish, give it a shot.  If I could lend it, I would. You'll like them, and they're super fast reads.

And yeah, that's what I said too.  Miley is NOT Laurel.  in the least.

missy68

Has anyone looked at the new Erik Larson book? He's the author who wrote Devil in the White City. This one is called In the Garden of Beasts. It's a family who settles in Germany in 1933 as America's Ambassador to Germany. Like his other books, he interweaves history with salacious fiction, like the White City.
I'm kind of thinking it's a hardback purchase.

I take this back. It is ALL nonfiction. The characters are people who existed, he just writes in a way that is entrancing.

crfische

Ohhhh, I do like a good holocaust book.

crfische

As for books I like? I've been surprising myself lately.

Two Kisses for Maddy is just...oh so good. SO. GOOD.

I am kind of a sucker for non-fiction, but I've read stuff this year that I never thought I'd like, and I've LOVED It.
