Re: Weekend Reading Progress

  • I finished The Execution of Noa P. Singleton this weekend and was disappointed.  I also started And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini.

  • Had to go with DH to a soccer game so I brought a book with me and read the entire time. I finished the book this morning. Home Front by Kristin Hannah

  • I started and finished MacRieve in the Immortals After Dark series.  This one is much better than Shadow's Claim.  I finished the fifth House of Night book and have neglected the sixth.  It is still in queue, but I feel like the last one was almost a waste of time.  I am hoping they pick back up again.

  • I took about 100 pages out of TFioS and got through another chunk of Divine Evil (audio). I'm really hoping to get TFioS finished tonight and Divine Evil by the end of this week. I'm liking both.

  • I finished The Sea of Tranquility Friday night.  I enjoyed it.  I don't know that I had the OMG love, but I would give it 4.5 stars.

    I stared Named of the Dragon by Susanna Kearsley.  It's one of her lesser known works, but my library had it.

  • I finished The Orchid House and did not like it at all.

    I couldn't decide what to start next so I picked up Stephanie Plum #12. Its brandy fluff until I decide what I really want to read

  • I finished Austenland - it was pretty good.  I wanted to read it before I saw the movie.  I started listening to The Name of the Wind - it is so wonderful I would like to neglect everything and just listen.  I'll be working on it for a while, as it is 28 hours long.
  • I finished Jeneration X by Jen Lancaster and Robopocalypse on audio.  I started listening to Soulless by Gail Carriger and made decent progress on God In The Dark by Os Guiness and Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives.

  • I read 40% of Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. Very interesting concept. I am enjoying the book so far.

    I've been on the fence about picking up the Gail Carriger book so I'm interested to see what you think!

  • edited August 2013
    I listened to a little of my current audiobooks - Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (in the car) and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (on my phone). 

    I started Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and got about 40% done. I would have read the whole thing in one sitting if we hadn't gone to a cookout at a friend's house. Such a good book!

    I read a graphic novel, too. Level Up by Gene Luen Yang. I really like everything he does.

  • Finished Insurgent, started and almost finished The Red House Mystery, and neglected Eye Of The World.

    I've never heard of this one. Did she originally publish it under a pen name?

  • I finished The Sweetest Dark, by Shana Abe. I won it from Kindles and Wine. It was a YA paranormal romance, fairly typical storyline for the genre. (Girl is a dragon, but doens't know it yet, love triangle with a boy dragon and a star-boy.) I enjoyed it, and read it quickly. 

    I started The Cuckoo's Calling, and am enjoying more than I thought I would so far!

    #s 42 and 43 of my goal of 54.
