The last book I read was 50 Shades Of Grey. I liked it but I haven't read the 2nd book yet because I feel like it's just going to be the same thing over again. I can't really get into reading anything right now anyway, I'm too excited for the new Buffy book coming out in December...that will be the next thing I read 18421983294 times. 😀

That seems to be the Buffy book here in the UK. Not sure if it has the removable pieces or not.

This is seriously exciting, a new Buffy book after at least four-five years 😀

It looks really, really cool. Nancy Holder is an awesome writer (I don't think I've read a single book by her that I didn't like). She really gets Buffy I find in her work. And just the look of this new book looks amazing.

I seriously can't wait for it.
 
I'm glad you guys are excited about it as much as I am! I love what she did with the Watcher's Guides & I'm pretty sure this one will be amazing. It's definitely going to be an awesome collector's item!
 
I've started reading the Harry Potter series again, so I'm on Philosopher's Stone.

And for school, I'm reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Have any of you read them? I haven't gotten much read in Secret Life of Bees yet, but it sort of reminds me of The Help which is an amazing book that I highly recommend. 🙂

I love the Harry Potter books
The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

Yep, I waited this long to read it. It's kind of slow right now. I'm hoping it will pick up, or else I may have to watch the movie instead. :laugh1:
 
I just started reading Prey. Originally, I wanted to buy Sphere, but my mom has a copy of Prey, so I decided to read that one first. Or at least start reading it 🙄
 
I've got to be in the mood to read and when I am I'm voracious. I've just read in the last fortnight:

The Witcher - The Last Wish & Blood of Elves by Andrezej Sapokowski and I'm really looking forward to Sapokowski's next Witcher novel which is published in June 2013.

Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky

The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack - can't remember the author, but it's a fabulous read.

As for the new Buffy book I for one will be buying that !
 
I've re continued my read of Bear Grylls - Mud,Sweat And Tears. Great read. Nearly at the end of it now. I think I've added a good 12+ books to my Christmas list lol.
 
I finished reading the Wheel of time series and now im splitting my time between reading some Buffy novels I found online (Im working on vol 3 of the unseen trilogy I think it is and the 1st of the gatekeeper ones) as well as re reading the sword of truth series. All reading is on temporary hold while I watch Supernatural for the first time though, i'm on S05E7 or so.
 
I've just finished reading A Single Girl's To Do List by Lindsey Kelk. Its a nice light hearted romantic comedy. Its a fun read.
 
I've been reading fantastic books lately, 🙂

1. "The Mayor of Casterbridge" - I didn't have high hopes for it but wow, Hardy surprised me with this one. Brilliant book, how often do you come across a Victorian page turner?

2. "The hunchback of Notre Dame" - the actual story is great, very tragic and heart-breaking most of the time but Hugo indulges in a wee bit too much descriptions of everything else as well which makes it a rather slow read. It kind of felt like a lot of the text could have been left out without any harm at all to the story

3. "The Scarlet Letter" - Oh... my. Just so good. Unlike Hardy and Hugo there is not a word in this work of Hawthorne that could or should have been left out. He's to the point, writes beautifully but keeps the story on track at all times. Wonderful work! Wonderful story!

4. "The end of Faith" - by Sam Harris. Interesting and less pugnacious than Dawkin's or Hitchen's works without being tame. He gets into interesting theories about conciousness and spirituality too.
