How do you like it so far? Is it for one of the challenges or just fun?

I'm reading Phantom of the Opera. I'm only10% into it- it's okay. It's #18 of my goal of 25.  This past week I started and finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I really enjoyed it! I've finally jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon!

I'm reading The Cuckoo's Calling. It's a little slow going. I'm hoping that it picks up. It's a pretty nice size book, and I'm only about 100 pages in. 

Nova726

I'm reading The Moon Dwellers, it's the first book in The Dwellers series, I'm liking it so far. It's 26/30 for .

I'm reading The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. It is so, so good! I think it's my favorite of hers so far. It will be #111 toward my goal of 200.

I am reading the Time Keeper, by Mitch Albom. Its an easy read in typical Mitch Albom fashion so I imagine I will finish today.  Who knows what else I will start this weekend.

its #36 for the year.

I'm reading The Sea of Tranquility.  I'm not that far in so no opinions yet. #41

I'm listening to The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan.  I'm liking it quite a bit, but it's due today at the library so I have a feeling I'm going to get halfway through my day and it's going to stop working. #42

I'm reading Salting Roses. It's good but I have been super busy this week so I'm struggling to really get into it.

I am reading "City of Bones" and liking it.  I am also rereading "Wicked".  I read it when it first came out and thought I would pick it up again.  They are both SuBC challenge books and #37, #38.

I loved both of these series!

Currently reading:

- Theodore Roosevelt: A Life by Nathan Miller.  It is for my presidential challenge and is book #49 for the year.  I am really enjoying it so far.  It is exactly what I want out of a presidential biography.  

- I think I will also start The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum today as well on my Kindle.  I am in the mood for so sick, twisted, horror right now.  It will be book #50 for the year.

I'm about halfway through Inferno (18).  It's not my favorite Dan Brown, but I'm enjoying it.

I am about halfway into Chosen, the third House of Night book, and a couple chapters into The Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead.  I like how complex the first has become and I think I will continue to read the series.  The second has an interesting world but I'm not sure how I feel about the main character.  These will fall somewhere around 130 for the year.

I'm listening to Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns.  The story is a tad on the boring side for my liking but the narrator is fantastic.

Reading Jeneration X by Jen Lancaster and listening to Robopocalypse.  They'll be numbers 88 and 89 for the year.  Robopocalypse is for the genre challenge. 

andypandy625

Reading The Great Santini by Pat Conroy.  It's okay so far...I just started.  It's one of my husband's books that I have never read that I just picked up off the bookshelf last night.  I'll be using it for SuBC.

I envy your reading speed!

I just started listening to HP 3 this morning.  And I forgot that I'm in the very beginnings of Clockwork Prince.

You're not feeling Eugenie?  I have a soft spot for her.

Just started Wise Man's Fear.  It's #43 for the year.

Just. Wait.  Eugenie is a BAMF.

I'm reading The Secret Keeper: Kate Morton which I like, but don't love like her other books and also I just started Different Seasons: Stephen King as a reread. They are both for the challenge.

@duxcaelo I love Eugenie. and Dorian. Sigh

I just started A Visit from the Goon Squad. Jury is still out. I'm sort of depressed already.

I will keep reading. I hope that I feel this way about her by the end of this book!

I'm reading Up to Me by M. Leighton.  It's a GR giveaway win.  It's not that great at all.  In fact, it feels like I'm reading crappy fan fiction.  But...if I want to win more GR giveaways, I need to read and review.  I banged out 100 pages yesterday.  Here's hoping I can get through the rest of it this weekend.  It's #51 of 75 for the year.

Chosen was my favorite of the series.  I read up to #7 and then quit because I felt like the overall plot had lost its way and I was getting bored.

I'm still working on Shantaram.  I'm enjoying it, but I think it helps that I know a bit about Bombay already.  I'm struggling with it a bit because it's very episodic, and I like a more defined story arc.  The writing, insight, characters, etc. are all great, but it's very easy for me to pick up and put down a book that's a series of vignettes without a clear connecting plotline (*cough* Outlander).

I just finished reading The Crimson Crown last night. I am so sad that it is over. I loved it. Not sure what I will pick up next.

I'm halfway through The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen. It's #51 and just okay. I wanted a quick read but this isn't really it between the baby and the the blah storyline and characters.
