    I noticed the forum disappeared from my Tapatalk account, do we have a new app to go through to keep up on here?

    Nano November 2014 official thread

    I just sent a request to join. I've been wanting to do NaNoWriMo for a few years, so I decided to just go ahead and join. I'll be hand writing mine, though.

    The latest contrived YA dystopia has a curious gender imbalance

    It kind of sounds like Mazerunner, but I haven't read the book or seen the movie.

    Oh jeez. I forgot to get this. I'll have to check the book store so I can get caught up. Got caught up reading Harry Potter for the millionth time.

    Akata, then Among Others. They look the most interesting to me.

    [Reading Group] SPOILERS June 2014: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

    I agree with most of what you said. I had trouble getting into the book, though. I could relate a bit to Nick, but Amy seemed really fake. Once I neared the end of part one I finally got into it and read the rest of the book last night. I was happy with part 2, but I want happy with the ending...

    [Reading Group] June 2014 Nominations/Voting

    Gone Girl is my top pick. Then Boneshaker. And finally... Altered Carbon. I had a little trouble deciding between a few of the nominations, but I ended up getting it done!

    [Reading Group] May 2014: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

    I was going to point out that you missed Harry, but the Hogwarts comment was a nice save. It's definitely seen by me with the magical school. I was also going to say for Rand, Tam is his father as far as he's concerned. I think a lot of killing parents off has to do with drilling into people's...

    [Reading Group] May 2014: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

    Ankari just put everything into words that I just couldn't. The first point is probably the main one that kept me turning to the next page and starting the next chapter. I'm horrible with pacing myself with even the minute cliffhangers that are found in some books at the ends of chapters. I...

    [Reading Group] May 2014: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

    I've just finished the book and it's definitely in my list of favorite fantasy novels. I was hoping to pace myself, but once I get into a story it's just really hard for me to put the book down. I can sort of understand where people are coming from when they say Kvothe is a "Mary Sue," but I...

    [Reading Group] May 2014: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

    So far into it I've had trouble relating to Kvothe with him being so brilliant and powerful, but I can't put the book down. I've read books that have been a memoir type story, so I've had no problem with the framing device. One of the things I'm really enjoying is his style. I'm used to...

    [Reading Group] May 2014: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

    Starting this today. I just finished reading I Am Legend for another reading group, so now I'll try to pace myself to read this in a month. I'll probably binge read it before then, though.
