I finished Ella's Wish last night, excellent. I have started Tried & True by Mary Connealy. It is the first book in her Wild at Heart trilogy/series.

I think I need to get that book! I have a bunch of her books and wasn't sure if I wanted to buy her new series, but I just let my best friend borrow a bunch of her books and she loved them so much that I decided that I just might have to get her new books!Laurie wrote:I have started Tried & True by Mary Connealy.

I was busy reading today! It's Thanksgiving here in Canada, and I had a wonderful time reading two books and starting a third. I really love days like that. I read "A Lady at Willowgrove Hall" by Sarah E. Ladd, the third book that she's written and one that I knew I had to read so I could lend it to my best friend this week, since she also really enjoyed the first two books that author has published, and then I read "Take a Chance on Me" by Susan May Warren, the first book in her Christiansen family series. I have started the second one, "It Had to Be You," but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to finish it. My goal is to read a bit more but to resist the urge to stay up crazy late reading it, since it's really good so far!
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, it's amazing.

Wow, Wakko, good for you! Les Miserables is one of those books that I want to read one day, but I don't have any immediate plans to start, if that makes sense.
I stayed up late to finish my book last night, so I'm on to the next one in the series! I'm not too far into "When I Fall in Love" by Susan May Warren, but it's really good so far, and because I've been reading the books in the series so close together, I feel like it's all just one continuing story even more than usual, since I haven't had time to forget any details. I love getting to read through a series close together! Now I'll have to wait until February for the next one.

I finished Tried & True by Mary Connealy last night, I enjoyed it. Ms. Connealy's books are always a fun read. I am now reading The Daughter of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky. It is the second book in her Edwardian Brides trilogy/series.

I recently finished Wonder by R. J. Palacio. It was one of the best books I have ever read. I highly recommend it!

I've heard good things and I've been interested in reading it, but I don't want to buy it. My local library probably has it. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to reading it, since it comes so highly recommended!Sapphire wrote:I recently finished Wonder by R. J. Palacio. It was one of the best books I have ever read.

I'm reading "Glamorous Illusions," the first book in Lisa Tawn Bergren's Grand Tour trilogy. I've enjoyed other books that I have read by her, and this one is really interesting so far. I'm about halfway through. I've been waiting to read this series until the library had all three in at the same time so I wouldn't have to wait.

I'm on to the second book in the series by Lisa Tawn Bergren that I'm reading. "Grave Consequences" is a great book title.
I finished The Daughter of Highland Hall the other night, it was excellent. I am now reading Mark of Distinction by Jessica Dotta. It is the second book in her Price of Privilege trilogy.

I had to read it for my college lit class. It was so dense..... My teacher encouraged us to read summaries on sparknotes so that really helped,Marvin D. wrote:That is one of the slowest, most mind-numbing books I have ever read and likely will ever read >.>Graces4you wrote:Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Pro tip: Always use SparkNotes/Shmoop when available. It's a lifesaver.
