Wondertje Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Currently reading the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy, got about 50 pages left I think. Will most likely finish it tonight before going to sleep, and start the 3rd book tomorrow. It's exciting and I quite like it, still not sure what to think of the guys though.

Pretzle Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Currently reading Allegiant (last of the Divergent trilogy).

Tolkien (didn't get too far with this one yet) I just purchased A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. As soon as I'm done with Son of Neptune I'm heading back to the Westlands and Two Rivers!!! A Memory of Light made me cry a bit, especially when it ended. But it was so worth the read and the wait! I'm currently reading Basic Russian Grammar. And I just finished a Sherrilyn Kenyon binge. Quote Link to comment

Pretzle Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah it was such a lovely read, I recommended it to a few people after reading (The Fault in Our Stars). If you liked that one, have a look at 'Socrates in Love' by Kyoichi Katayama, same sort of theme but with a different sort of feel to.
