I read The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly in just a couple of hours. A simple but profound story about a barn hen called Sprout and her desire to be free. There are so many aspects in such a small book by this wonderful Korean author that we can all relate to. Hey, there goes sprout flying high in the sky ;)
Tami, for some reason, I love books about chickens. I will have to add this one!
Ha! Lela, you made me smile and no doubt Sprout too :)
I'm reading Sole Survivor by Dean Koontz.
I just finished
4 Stars!!!I have to admit-- I was hesitant about reading this series, as I loved the Hunger Games, and at first I thought this was just another dystopian series... But, I couldn't be more wrong and I'm so glad I finally read it! Now onto the next one...

Thanks for saying this. I've heard so many comparisons to Hunger Games for this book. I wasn't sure if I was going to read it or not.
Sure Lorrea! It's similar in the fact that it's YA and Dystopian-- but storylines and plot are different.
Finished
3 Stars!I listened to this one on audiobook-- Each chapter was narrated by different characters and jumped back and forth in different times. 3 brothers growing up on a farm in upstate New York. One morning, one of them is dead, and the other two are left as primary suspects...

I've just finished the entire Kate Daniels series to date by Ilona Andrews
Finished
4 Stars!!Oh, another great Jojo Moyes' book! She has a gift for creating real characters and situations where you fall in so hard that you HAVE to keep reading to find out what happens!

I loved that book!"
Michelle, glad to hear that. I did, too and now I'm feeling sad that it's finished. I could have read a lot more. I might try the Alison Weir version now.
Just finished Ruby Red Sapphire Blue Emerald Green I enjoyed this series, even though it may be more of a YA read, which I didn't realize before starting the series. Some YA books can be a good read for adults too it just depends if the subject matter catches your interest. So I don't let that stop me. This was a quick light read.
I just started A Woman's Choice which I received from the author Annie Thomas for review. Historical fiction, this book looks like it will be an interesting book.
I am reading Pretty Little Liars..The first book in the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard..I got hooked on the show, thinking I wouldn't when I first decided to at least attempt to watch it because people kept talking about it and I thought it would be some silly little show...Boy was I wrong! lol (Hey, I like it anyway!) :-)
I haven't read Antonia Fraser's _The Wives of Henry VIII_, but Alison Weir's version is excellent!
Lynn--Yes, there's a lot of great YA fiction out there that adults can enjoy, too. Favorites of mine include _The Book Thief_, _The Giver_, and yes, _The Fault in Our Stars_.
I'm reading Lionheart by Sharon Kay Penman; a historical fiction about Richard the Lionheart, ruler of England circa 1160.
I loved LIONHEART! I am finding Sharon Kay Penman to be as excellent a researcher & storyteller as reputed. Hope you enjoy!
Finished!!
-- 4.5 Stars!I really loved this one!: 1911- Coney Island, carnivals of the weird and mysterious, the Triangle Factory Fire, and two broken souls destined to be together...
