BOOK LOVERS CORNER - What are you reading?
Hey dears! After talking about books on another thread, I thought it would also be a great idea to start a Book Lovers thread. I'm pretty much sure most of you are secret bookworms/booklovers or at least a random book reader!
So here's a chance to share to us all what you are reading right now! Or perhaps you have just read an AMAZING book that we must all read. Please do share it here. Would love to hear from all of you.
So to start things off, I just finished reading JUMPER series by Steven Gould.

Here are my thoughts:
Jumper is very different from the Movie. It focuses on the main character's "how" he became a jumper. I found it a bit boring.
Reflex is WAY better. There's more build up to the story. More action and it made me really wanna know how it would end. I found it very interesting. I would recommend this if you want to read the Jumper "series". Though I guess it would only appeal more to you if you have read Jumper first.
Griffin's Story is a bit boring as well. I mean, there isn't any wow factor to it. Its just a background story as well.
Honestly though, you are all better off watching the movie. Its much more interesting. LOL. If you really are interested in reading teleportation/time travel type of books I would suggest THE TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE. I love the way it really messes your mind. I haven't watched the movie of that though. And I think I'd like to keep it that way. There are times when movie adaptations destroy the whole book instead of "supporting" it.
Anyhow, this was quite a long post. Sorry. Yes, I really love reading and writing. LOL. Your "thoughts" about your book recommendations don't have to be as long as this. haha.
