    I read about 70% of Conspiracy in Death by JD Robb. I'm about to start Horns too.

    ETA: Finished Conspiracy in Death and reading Horns currently. I love having the day off!

  • I read both The Selection and The Elite.  Now I have to wait for the third book.  I don't know why I keep doing this with series.  I'm listening to The Splendor Falls, which is a good story, but I don't like the reader, and there are some production flaws (repeating lines).
  • I finally finished Once Bitten. It was awful.
    I also listened to Teen Idol by Meg Cabot. It was entertaining.
  • I finished Exposed by Susan Vaught. It was decent, not much happened until the last 50 pages or so.

    I got about 100 pages read of The Visibles by Sara Shephard and I'm not sure about it yet, I'm going to keep at it.

  • I am halfway through Lethal Heritage by Michael Stackpole.  It's a book my husband wanted me to read, but it's a Battletech fiction book and I am struggling with getting into it. 
    He seemed upset that I wasn't reading it as fast as I read other books, so I'm going to try harder with it.
    I also finished an Appalachian Trail book, but I can't remember the name right now.

  • I am reading In The Bag by Kate Klise, it is really cute and I want to devour it but just don't have the time, I read a couple chapters but that is it.

    I also am reading Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close for the buddy read and we read the first 2 chapters...I have a feeling it is going to be difficult to read with the writing style and at this point I am very confused, but I am sure it will get better and a little clearer as we go on.

  • I demolished my re-read of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" this weekend. Started it Friday night and finished it Saturday. It was amazing.
    Yesterday I started a book called "Wait for You". It's a new adult book by J. Lynn, and it's pretty good so far!

    I'm enjoying it very much!!! I'm already half way through it! I'll definitely be picking the next one up!
    I grabbed it because books were buy2get1free at Books a Million, and I already had two picked out, so I just grabbed the next one I saw that look good. They had a display of new adult books, and that one sounded the best. I'm glad I picked it!

  • Since my weekend included yesterday, I'm posting today.  I finished Outlander and Morrigan's Cross.  I'm debating my next physical book since I need a day or so before I get into DIA.  So much for the readalong.  :o)

    I'm listening to Reaver.
