Oh cool, didn't know the movie was already out.  I'll have to catch it on DVD then; I wanna read the book first.

[kevmylove]

I'm going to have to check those two books out. The only Halocaust books I've read were the ones from high school "Night" by Eli Wiesel and "The Diary of Anne Frank".

Do you guys watch any of the Halocaust/Natzi movies on Netflix?

[mare]

I sometimes watch specials about it on the History channel but i'm not big on the movies. Another great but highly disturbing book/movie taking place during the Holocaust is "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." I've actually never read "Night"

I've seen that movie Mare, it was so tragic but a good film.

Finally finished Sarah's Key. It took me a long time to read it mainly because it's that sad and depressing but a great book. Extremely intense read but well worth it. Don't read it if you have somewhere to be lol or students coming and going.

[Carter-Orange]

I've downloaded a sample of it for my Kindle app on my phone, if I like it, I'll buy the book.  I won't read in work though, not if it's going to bring on the tears.

[mare]

It'll definitely bring on tears lol

You guys probably already saw my Twitterpation over this book but I'm more than halfway through it and already added it to my favorite all time list --- "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green.

Anyone read any others of his books? Is he always amazing or did I happen to stumble into his "one-hit wonder" book?

[Carter-Orange]

I've not heard of it, so I just had a look on Amazon and it looks really good.

I just finished a really good book called A Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly.  It's set in 1906 in the state of New York and focuses on a girl called Mattie.  She wants to go to college and be a writer someday but family commitments get in the way and she is torn over what to do, does she stay and live a life of drudgery or follow her dreams?  There is a little bit of romance, murder mystery and drama in the book and I couldn't put it down.

Has anyone read that new Stephen King book, then one about JFK? I kind of adored it, it wasn't as sci-fi as I expected considering it was including Time Travel but I really loved where he went with it.

[Carter-Orange]

Not heard of it, but might have to get it from the library some day if it's good.

[RokofAges75]

It looked interesting; I'll have to check it out!  I love Stephen King, but haven't read a lot of his newer ones.  The most recent one I've read was Cell, and I didn't like it as well as his older stuff.

[Rose]

I read Under The Dome, which was okay, but kinda eh. It was more about what happens when you cut people off from society and then random alien mentions to explain how the Dome around the town got there LOL. His JFK book was superior.

I read a ton over Christmas after my grandmother passed away and I had a few weeks off work -- so I've got a lot of books - some good, some not so much.  I really enjoyed these three though;

The Help = I'm sure you've all heard of it and many have read it, but it really was good - definitely something I got into easily and was able to read over the course of a few days!

Little Bee -- I definitely recommend this one!  I really loved it, but bring your tissues to bed with you if you decide to read it because  :'(

Sing You Home -- Jodi Picoult -- probably one of my favorites by Jodi.  I don't know why, but it just seemed more real and raw than a lot of her stories that all sound the same.
