I've read my sisters keeper but I can't for the life of me remember what happens at the end... Or at the end of the movie for that matter!!
(probably because I'm a blubbering mess by that stage ;))

Hi,
Hope I can join.
I am reading Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. It's teen urban fantasy. I read the other series of Richelle's, The Vampire Acamedy, and this series has characters from that series but is a new mystery.
Cheers Jubear
Oh my gosh me too! I logged into internet banking yesterday and DH was like "What are all those Amazon charges?" :lol::
My hubby keeps asking if I want a Kindle.
I just can't imagine not *holding* a book when I read. IYKWIM?
I just keep ordering from bookdepository dot com . Cheap and free postage! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Nikky I was the same. But I love mine. I can curl up in bed and read laying in my side without having to worry about the other side of the pesky book being awkward to put somewhere. And I just plonk it on my knee when BF DD :)
Catcher in the Rye :)
I just finished reading the twilight saga.
Loved breaking dawn - and very sad there aren't anymore :( they aren't the type of book I normally read so it was a nice surprise I got through them so fast. I normally read real life books - Cathy glass, torey Hayden ECT.
Now though I'm off to read text books :( I have a big box at home with unread books I'm dying to start but there is just no point while at uni/ work/ making cakes because the spare time I do get I try to make up to my dd!!!

I also really like the Tomorrow series and the Ellie chronicles ...:
I loved the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series too - his writing style is very distinct and jarred a little for me personally, but I didn't find it to be too problematic ... my sister gave up after the first one though, because of the style etc.
With My Sister's Keeper, I've only read the book, but I did read a plot summary for the film, and yes, the ending is totally different. I've written something below in white - highlight it if you want to read it ... otherwise, spoiler alert!!
In the book, it's revealed during the Trial that Anna has only been making these claims and bringing the court action because her sister has asked her to ... she is tired, and is ready to die. She would willingly continue providing donor parts and products for her sister - but her sister wants to be allowed to die in peace. Anna then dies in a car crash, and Campbell steps in and Anna's usable organs are harvested (including the kidney) and her sister goes into remission.
In the movie, Anna and Jesse admit that Kate wanted them to being the case - and (as per the book) Anna was still willing to go through with the op. Kate dies at the hospital, with her mother beside her. After Kate's death, Campbell finds out that Anna won the case. The family moves on, but every year on Kate's birthday they go to Montana (her favorite place)
So yeah, totally different. I think the book rocks.
I'm still reading Song of Ice & Fire by George RR Martin. I'm at book four & am very disapointed to learn there are more to come :( I thought that would be it. I jsut want to know who wins! (Don't tell me :p)
Tomorrow & Ellie are the best. I have read them over & over countless times. I got the first three for my 13th birthday. I still love them.
My Sister's Keeper - I have read this & seen the movie. I was very disappointed that they changed the ending. The ending in the book was much better and very unexpected. I guess it was too much for the hollywood crowd to handle. Peanutter - I thought it was the other way around? I can't check though as I deleted the movie & sold the book. You're probably right though & I'm losing my mind.
Nikky - I'm the same re holding a book. I can't imagine using a kindle.
I had completely forgotten about that ending in the movie, P.
I thought the book rocked too. Movie, not so much.
okay Im cornfuzzled about My Sister's Keeper.
I haven't read the book, but watched the movie.
Um, what you said happens in the book is what happened in the movie I watched ??? :doh:
Yeah another that much preferred the book of Sister's Keeper over the movie.
As for me I am currently reading Madame Bovary. Haven't really read it in a while. Struggle to get into it, but about 2/3rds through.
I have downloaded a sample of Caitlin Moran's book called How to be a Woman on my iPad.. Has anyone read it? I have nearly finished the sample - about 40 pages and will definitely be buying it.
Can I come and play with you ladies?
I loved The Girl with/who series too. I thought the first one was the hardest read in terms of geting into -the next two I thought you fell into pretty quickly. I saw the new movie of Dragon Tattoo on Friday and was really glad they had stuck to the book pretty faithfully. I hate it when they change things to make them more Hollywood!
I've just finished reading Jo Nesbo's Headhunters. He is supposed to be the next Steig Larsson, so I read the I think one book of his that doesn't have a continuing character to give them a try. I really enjoyed it - pretty light, easy read although the subject matter wasn't overly light ITMS.
Now reading Shantaram by can't remember who at the moment. Quite a difference in writing styles to what I've read recently but really enjoying it. Its a doorstop of a book though, so I'm looking forward to the girls starting kindy and pp next week so I get a chance to really get into it.
Agree on struggling to adapt to a kindle - can't imagine not turning proper pages etc. Will give it a go one day - my Mum got one for her birthday late last year and I was going to try it but some delightful people broke into their house last week and stole it (among a ton of other stuff) :cry:
ohhh Shantaram is AWESOME! and yes, quiet a huge assed book!
I just finished the 1st book in the game of thrones series, going to try get the 2nd book this week.
Peanutter - I'm confused. That's how the book ended. I assumed that in the movie (spoiler alert - highlight next bit) that both sisters lived. I figured Anna dying was too much for the film viewers. Like in the Horse Whisperer when Tom doesn't die at the end in the film, but it was a brilliant heart wrenching ending to the book.
I HATED how they changed the ending of Horse Whisperer. It had so much more significance than just someone dying. Grrr to Hollywood.
