#Rocktober #InTheEnd @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB

This is a book that I haven't really stopped raving about since it came out but I'm using it today because the ending has apparently divided people. Some people love it (*cough*me*cough*) and some don't think the author made the right choice.

In the end, the reader is always going to make up their own mind, right?

BarbaraBB You make me want to read this book and find out for myself! 7y

#Rocktober #InTheEnd In between meetings and an eye exam, I found my only free 20 minutes this morning to hit up Starbucks for a soy-maple-pecan latte & a peanut butter cup cookie because I needed ALL the sugar today! 😆😋 In the end, I only managed a few pages of this current read before needing to text back & forth with my sister about life stuff. Then it was eye exam, one more meeting, errands, & finally home... Is it Friday yet? 😬

batsy Oh my 😍 I wish the Starbucks here had pb cup cookies 😋 7y
DebinHawaii @batsy They are my favorite. When they warm them the chocolate inside the cookie gets all melty. 🍪❤️ 7y
rabbitprincess Peanut butter cups are so gooooooood! 😋 7y

Cinfhen I haven't tried/ seen that heavenly confection although I'm terrified of the calorie count 😱looks delicious!!!!! Sorry your week has been hectic 7y
BarbaraBB Those days at work... I know what you mean 😬 7y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen They are only occasional indulgences for that fact but boy they are good! 😆😋👍 7y
DebinHawaii @BarbaraBB it definitely takes its toll on the reading energy doesn't it?! 😬😴 7y
Cinfhen I think I‘m gonna go bake some pb cookies.... 7y

kamoorephoto Every Last Word can be found in the YA section but not the other! 7y
DebbieGrillo @Karkar @tricksytails @kamoorephoto Haha! Both these are part of my high school classroom library. I just figured Annihilation was YA. Now I know. 😊 7y
Karkar @DebbieGrillo it is so different but good! Perfect for this time of year. And since the movie is in the works 😁 7y
Cinfhen I haven't read either...curious to hear your thoughts 7y
chapter_fifty2017 Annihilation wasnt marketed as a YA in australia , not sure if i agree as it limits the themes that can resonate at any age , its very good and quiet creepy in places . Highly reccomend it 😍 7y

Despite the title, in the end this is a hopeful book. It‘s about Veronika who is suicidal and the people she meets in a mental hospital. Now that all sounds very dark but this book is really about the light that can shine in the dark places. More modern fable than gritty realism but more plot than The Alchemist. I read it a long time ago so interested to hear if others find it‘s held up well.

Louise I also read this years ago, and I still think of "vitriol" as an illness! In a way, I feel that in later books, Coelho has become a bit of a parody of himself. But this little book packs a nice punch. 7y
Centique @Louise I feel pretty similarly! I think there are people who shy away from Coelho who might really like this one. 7y
Cinfhen I read the Alchemist recently and was not impressed! Same with his other novels 7y

Centique @Cinfhen I never felt the need to try any more after The Alchemist! This one was a gift though and I did really like it. Still, no need to go back there, you‘ve more than given him a chance! 😉🙃 7y
Cinfhen Thanks! I feel like #ThreeStrikesYoureOut 😝 (edited) 7y
Centique @Cinfhen true! 😂great hashtag that! 7y
Cathythoughts I‘m not a fan of his either. But I like your words about light shining in dark places 💫 7y
Centique @Cathythoughts thank you lovely! 🌸😊 7y
BarbaraBB Well played! I really liked this book when I read it about 5 years ago. I also hated The Alchemist 😉 7y
Centique @BarbaraBB oh good - my theory that people would like this one might hold up then! 😊 7y
BarbaraBB I think so, they are really different - this one is more down to earth, if I remember well 😀😉? The Alchemist certainly wasn‘t! 7y

The Sense of an Ending | Julian Barnes

#rocktober #intheend This Man Booker winning, super short novel is a near perfect example of an unreliable narrator.... A story of the lies we tell ourselves, of young love, old age, loss and memory. Loved it (and the Jim Broadbent movie is worth checking out too...) 💕

TheLudicReader Great book. 7y
PatriciaU Loved this book so much. 7y
Cinfhen Got to get to this one!!! 7y
BarbaraBB I am not such a fan of Julian Barnes but I loved this one too! 7y

Allegiant | Veronica Roth

A lot of readers have reacted very differently to what happens #InTheEnd of the Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth. Some have loved everything about the books (and I fit into this category) others have felt very let down and disappointed by the third book. I have to say I could NEVER have predicted what happened in the third book. #Rocktober

Melissa_J I hated the way it ended (actually, I hated the whole book). Such a disappointment. 7y
Andrew65 @Melissa_J The final book definitely got a reaction from people, love it or hate it with little in between. (edited) 7y
Centique Oh yes - my daughter was so mad. Biggest reaction I‘ve seen from her after reading a book! 7y

aschermetz I am in the minority but I felt the ending was fitting. I liked the whole trilogy but have never read any of the offshoot books. 7y
Cinfhen Another series I haven't read 7y
BarbaraBB This was popular at my children‘s school as well! 7y

This was okay and fun, but #intheend, I'm just not that into mysteries, cozy or not. I'm glad I tried it though! So thanks @Avanders 👏👏

#Rocktober

Avanders That‘s a lot how I feel about cozies - fun and light ☺️ And for some reason, I always want to read them in the fall! 🍁🍂 Anyway, even though you didn‘t love it and it didn‘t reveal some secret hidden love for cozies, I‘m still glad you tried it!! 🤗💖 7y
Cinfhen I totally agree with you...#soManyBooksSoLittleTime I might not have time for cozies 7y
Kalalalatja @Avanders I'm too! It was a great palate cleanser and wonderfully light 😊👍 7y
Kalalalatja @Cinfhen the eternal struggle 😩 7y

And #IntheEnd the love you take is equal to the love you make.

#Rocktober #day24 #InTheEnd The end is never the end.When one version of the world ends, another begins.In this classic fantasy series(now a tv series on Netflix)set 2,000 years after a nuclear holocaust, the world is now a place with no technology but magic has been rediscovered.Mankind has been changed into many races including dwarves,gnomes,trolls & elves have come out of hiding.The world is divided into Four Lands ruled by each dominant race.

Cinfhen You know how to market a series 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y
Lizpixie @Cinfhen I'm just waiting for a publishing house to notice and offer me a job in marketing!😉 7y
JazzFeathers Oh, l have an 1980s version with the same covers! I read only the first couple nivels back then. Never knew this was supposed ti be set after a nuclear holocaust 7y
Katerina This has been on my TBR for ages. I'll tackle The Wheel of time first though. I've got nearly all volumes now. 7y
