What was the book you had been wanting to read most?

Post by Jebrower »

The one book I currently I am awaiting to read is War and Peace, even though I heard that it is quite the endeavor. What book are you itching to read.

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. Everyone at work talked about this book, but I was thinking not my cup of tea. I totally fell in love with this book. I'm glad that I made time for it.

I want to reread the Hush,Hush series. I read it 3 years ago, and now I don't remember the plot. I think it'll be like reading it for the first time.

I keep promising myself that I'll download and read the Divergent series. I keep hearing about how good it is.

What if I was to tell you that Harper Lee also SECRETLY wrote a SEQUEL to Go Set a Watchman, which completes the epic MOCKINgBIRD TRILOGY?! DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!

Ok nah, probably not. I am currently waiting for Winds of Winter, The next First Law Trilogy, the next Warded Man book, and so many others. Fantasy is in a golden age, or at least a silver one! Reading some science fiction in the meantime though, because why not?

I am currently reading the House of Night series. The book I have been wanting to read the most is the next book. I love to read so whatever book I pick up next is the book I'm waiting to read now! :wink:

Most of the classics! High on that list is Jane Austen's works because I bought a lovely fabric binding collection of her works. Second would be The Art of War by Sun Tzu, another pretty cover book sitting on my bookshelf. Barnes & Nobles has a way of picking the best bound collections and putting them out for the weak to buy...*sigh*.

I really want to read Dangerous Lies by Becca Fitzpatrick. I just finished Black Ice, and can't wait to read another book written by her.
