Re: Weekend Reading

  • I, once again, read nothing. I've lost my mojo completely.

  • I finished Shadow and Bone Saturday night.

    My favorite Cake Wreck ever.


  • I finished up Swan Song by Robert McCammon this weekend.  

    I also made pretty good progress on On Hallowed Ground: The Story of Arlington National Cemetery.

  • I was a total slacker this weekend. I fell into bed exhausted every night, so no reading this weekend for me. I plan on trying to make up for it today. I have a super slow day at work so I will be NBCing and reading.

  • I finished the cancer history book I was reading (Good thing, because it's over a week overdue!).

    I was barely in the car at all, so I made no progress on my audiobook of Me Before You.

    I picked Up Pride and Prejudice when I went to bed last night, because I can't really decide what to read next, and I really do want to finish the re-read I started over a year ago.
  • Finished Out of The Easy...loved it, haven't read a book that fast in a long time!
    Chipped away a little at The Host, about 375 pages to go.

    - Gayle Forman
    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
    - Neil Gaiman

  • I finished listening to The Wise Man's Fear.  I am already missing the story, and the third book isn't out until sometime next year.  I didn't get any other reading done.
  • I finished Safe Haven yesterday, and started a reread of Divergent to get ready for Alligient!

    I neglected Catching Fire (reread but this time I'm listening to it) to get ready for that movie.

    Hate to be the barer of bad news but the third book doesn't have a release date yet.

    The author came back saying that he didn't know how they came up with that date.  Unless I missed an announcement.  However, I doubt it because it would have been talked about to death on the board.

  • I read a good chunk of Under the Dome on Friday night. Saturday and Sunday were baby horror nights, so we were up late, but no reading was being done :( 

    I did download World War Z to my Kindle though, so maybe I'll get started on that soon (still can't believe it has taken me this long to finally get it!).

  • I barely got any reading done this weekend.  I listened to a bit of Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls but since I didn't do any baking yesterday like normal, I made no real progress.  :(

  • I made it halfway through Gardens of the Moon, which took about 160 pages to grab my attention. It did and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens, but it sure took a while to get to this point.

  • I finished Days of Blood and Starlight. It was wonderful, but I didn't love it as much as Daughter of Smoke and Bone.

    It's slippery as waterweed.
  • I read John Adams by David McCullough and am like 100 pgs in so I still have a WAYS to go. And I just started Dark Places. I hear it's really good, so I'm excited. I'm not that far in yet though.

  • I finished Falcon at the Portal, it was good and then I started He Shall Thunder in the Sky.  I ignored Horns and Feast for Crows.  I haven't had enough time to read lately and it bums me out.

    So far I'm enjoying it.  I haven't made a huge amount of progress, but it's grabbed my attention.

  • I worked all weekend and didn't get much reading done. HOWEVER, the BDB books 5-8 became available from the Free Library of Philadelphia for me on Sunday, so that should keep me busy for the next week or two. I started the fifth book last night and am already engrossed.

  • I finished Surrender To Sultry. I don't read a lot of romance but I really enjoyed it!

  • Started Shadow and Bone. There's a conspiracy and everytime I start to read, one or both of the kids needs me ASAP. I'm really getting into it, though!
