Currently reading "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" I love holocaust books. If anyone else loved holocaust books this one is a cute romance that still captures all the horrors of Auschwitz.

I am now reading My Beautiful Enemy by Cory Taylor and enjoying it very much.

Latest Review: We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz

Post by La Cabra »

I'm reading Destiny Disrupted! A very interesting book, non-fiction. I like it so far, but um, I get the feeling I might not love it by the end of it. Other than that, I've had Animal Farm and You're Not So Smart (or something like that) on my reading shelf for more than half a year now! I like AF a lot, just I don't own a copy of it, so I really haven't gotten the chance to complete it pfft.

For OBC I'm reading Newbery's book Debt Cleanse. I've read his Burn Zones and really enjoyed it, so I've got high hopes for this one!

Just finished reading Project Tau, and I loved it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! My favourite character was Kalin (not very creative, huh?). What about you?


Also, you can't not love Reinfeild.

Kalin is definitely a front runner and so in Reinfield. But I’m kinda digging Tau so far. He’s just starting to question things and putting two and two together! Only on chapter 9!

I'm currently reading Bag of Bones by Stephen King and honestly I'm not sure how I feel about it. So far it's been pretty good, but it has introduced about five possible plot lines and none of them have played out until the end. I'm still not entirely sure who is supposed to be the true villain of the story and I'm 3/4 of the way through. I definitely don't want any spoilers but hopefully the ending will actually tie everything together for me. Nothing bothers me more in long novels than plot lines that are just left hanging.

Thanks for letting me know! Is it similar to anything else you've read before? I'd love to know if there are any books it reminds you of in case I've read them because it might give me a better idea of whether or not I'll like it
Hi, I can't think of anything quite like it that I have read. It is set in rural Ireland in 1825, and the theme concerns traditional Irish folklore, the widespread belief in fairies (The Good People) and various spells and herbal cures for all sorts of ailments and social ills. This creates conflict with the Catholic Church, who consider these to be pagan beliefs. It was quite well done, and it wasn't ultimately quite as predictable as i thought it might be. Give it a crack!
Ooooh I do like books about Irish folklore, I always find these quite interesting. Thanks for the description, I'll give this a look!
