I love to read, scrapbook, watch movies, listen to music and play games (video or board) with my children. I am currently in the process of writting my first novel; a sci-fi trilogy (a tril because there is too much to put in one or two books). I have found that I love to write as much as I love to read with the exception that reading flows so... more »

    If you found Still Alice interesting, you might be intrigued by The Bird House (Simon & Schuster) which the Library Journal called “a great title for book clubs, and especially fans of Lisa Genova’s Still Alice.”

    Thanks so much – happy to connect on Shelfari if you’re up for it.

    Hi Laura,

    Thanks for your message and your interest in STOP ME.

    Yes - I'll try and add more books soon. Finding time to read them and review them is my challenge at present!

    Take care,

    I'm trying to catch up on these since my month has been a little more hectic than usual. I apologize if this is a duplicate message or is extremely late!

    I totally agree with what you said about her writing. Her style is refreshing in that it's pretty straight to the point. It really makes you love Katniss. I'm still not sure what I think about Haymitch (what with how Catching Fire ended, and all), but I like the relationship he and Katniss had, especially in the first book. I liked how they understood each other, even if they didn't really like each other. And Peeta is simply adorable. I wonder how the events in the second book will change him in the third, like the events of the first book changed him in the second. I love how she allows her characters to grow in that way.
    I just finished the two books by Lisa McMann ("Wake" and "Fade"). Have you read them? If you haven't, I think you'll really enjoy them, because she shares aspects of her writing style with Collins.

    The Divided Crown is actually the sequel to Isabel Glass's first one, Daughter of Exile. I would recommend you read that one first. I liked it better than The Divided Crown, though it too was a very good book. Daughter of Exile is one of those books I could read over and over again my entire life.
    I'm glad you friend-requested me! I just took a look at your shelf, and you have a lot of books that I've both read and want to read. I read both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire fairly recently, and enjoyed them both. What did you think?

    You have good taste in books, nice to meet you.

    Hey there!! Glad you're here!

    I'm pretty sure the book on your wish list is the one Sam has in her room.
    I thought you read some of the Stephen King novels that are on your to be read list. Or are you wanting to read them again?
    How are you liking the site? Did you invite your friends to join?
