    I bought Water for Elephants a couple of months ago (before the movie came out) but sadly I haven't read it yet. I've heard excellent things about Room. One of my coworkers loved it.

    I hope you enjoy all of these!

    @Christina T Both of these books are for my book club – Room for our June meeting and Water for Elephants for our July meeting. I am looking forward to reading both of them!

    I've heard such good things about Room and Water for Elephants. I want to read WFE before I see the movie! I hope you enjoy all your books.

    I loved Water for Elephants. "Jacob" is a great character….loved him reliving his life. Hope you enjoy it!!

    @ Christina/Book Addict: I need to read the book before seeing the movie, too!

    @A Journey in Reading: A friend had given me the book to read years ago and I never did…so now that my book club is reading it, I had to go get it again – and this time I will definitely be reading it.

    Great choices, I have water for elephant and still haven't read it, thought the movie would help get me read it, sigh. Enjoy your books. Room has had amazing reviews. I also want to try IrisJ at some point.

    @ Alison: I've heard great things about Water for Elephants and am excited to read it.

    @ Marce: I love Iris Johansen and they have been the perfect books to listen to – the suspense and thriller keeps you hooked!

    @ April: I am glad my book club picked both Water for Elephants and Room – that way I know for sure I will read them!

    @Carrie: I've heard great things about Room, too!

    @Dee ShamelessRom: I already started listening to Chasing the Night and it's fantastic!

    You know, I just can't get into the swing of audiobooks.

    @Liviania I never thought I would enjoy them, and only started listening to them last year. So far, I've chosen some really good audios that have held my attention and I only listen while I am driving.
