Happy Valentine's Day Friday!! What are you reading?

How do you like it so far? Is it for any of the challenges or just fun? Doing anything special for Valentine's Day?

Hoycie got me hooked on the Vampire Academy series.  I am currently on book #3 (Shadow Kiss).  And I will probably be on Book #4 before the day is done.

And I am totally neglecting Warren G. Harding.  

Valentine's Day pretty much sucks.  I am tempted to get in an extra workout at the gym tonight.

I finished Alienated last night (and left an Amazon review).  I'm still reading Dragonfly in Amber, which I'm doing in spurts.  I'm not listening to anything because I haven't gone to get that cable out of my car.  I'm not sure I'm ready to see it in person yet.

I'm reading The Last Letter from Your Lover by JoJo Moyes. It's good, but a little slow going. It's for WBC and is #9 for the year

jlc1979

I am reading Size 12 and Ready to Rock, A Storm of Swords and The Lightning Thief.  So far I am enjoying them all.  They are #9 - 11 for the year and just for fun.

We aren't really doing anything special for Valentine's Day.  I picked up some chocolates for DH and the kids and we are having some sort of take out for supper which is my present.  No cooking!  We have family in town this weekend as it's a major winter festival in town right now so we'll be busy enjoying that instead.

I am reading and in love with Ready Player One. I have been dreaming about being in OASIS at night.

A quiet night in planned for tonight.

I had to quit Tell The Wolves I'm Home.  It was due back at the library (after renewing it) and I had still only read about 70 pages.  I just could not get into it.

I'm now about 100 pages into Fangirl (#2) and really enjoying it.  My reading has taken a nosedive the last few weeks with DH leaving, but now that he's gone I feel like I can get back on the bike, so to speak.  I'm glad I started with this.

I'm listening to Outlander, but I should finish this weekend.  I think I am going to start a thriller called Jet today.

ChristyDM82

I'm reading The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir. I'm about 25% into it, and am enjoying it so far.

We don't usually do anything too big for Valentine's Day. Tonight we are ordering pizza and watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Tomorrow I'm making us risotto (I hate cooking on Fridays).  Sunday we're going out to dinner.

I am reading Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay and Midnight Tides by Steven Erikson. I like them both okay so far. I think they will fall around 30 for the year. 

My H and I have a tradition of pizza and watching a rom-com for Valentine's Day. This year we are watching The Notebook.

ZeusLBA

I reading Where She Went by Gayle Forman and should probably finish it this weekend since it's so quick. I'm also kind of reading Betrayed by PC Cast.

We are going to get take out and probably watch the Olympics.

BabyRN2006

I finished Ruin this morning and now I am reading The Midwife's Confession.

We aren't doing anything for Valentine's Day because we are broke. We had dinner at my parents' house last night. Tonight will just be dinner and hanging out at home because DH has to work early in the morning.

fabk

I am listening to Wild Things and reading A Week in Winter. Both are great.
J is ordering in chinese food for supper. We exchanged cards this morning.

Hoycie

I'm reading Lover Awakened (BDB, #3)- I am loving Z's book!

A is in school all day today so I'm leaving after work to Orlando.  We'll probably spend a nice quiet night at home. 

I would like to start an audiobook for the drive but i'm not sure which one I should listen to.

ajpufky

I'm reading Elenor & Park and listening to Beauty Queens when DH and I go to the gym. DH and I are going to dinner tonight, then probably watching the Olympics.

I finished The Silent Wife last night and I'm debating right now on whether or not to read Flowers In the Attic or The Frangipani Hotel.

booknerd226

I'm currently trying to figure out what to read next. I finished Truly Madly Yours last night.

For Valentine's Day DH and I having delivery pizza and beer. We're pretty romantic.

AshleyT121

Nothing. I haven't picked up a book in weeks. Technically I guess I'm still reading JOD, but I don't even remember the last time I touched it.

Stefibeth

I'm towards the end of The Taker by Alma Katsu.  The writing isn't super amazing, but the author is a pretty captivating storyteller.  I'm enjoying it.  It's very dark and intriguing.  This is book #10 for the year.  

No idea about Valentine's Day we definitely don't have anything planned for tonight.  We talked about having our first date night tomorrow in longer than I care to say, but now it's Valentine's Day and we have no reservations or concrete plans so... yeah.  Maybe not such a good idea all things considered.  

brittk0486

I'm about halfway through with Bitterblue. I'm really enjoying it so far.  

We don't do much for Valentine's Day.

Still working my way through The Little Friend, by Donna Tartt.  I like it a lot, it's just a little slow at times.  She tells a really rich story.

We're still snowbound (10" on a gravel driveway plus vehicles with low profiles (Yaris and Corolla) equals not going anywhere soon), and hoping that the plows come down the road at least.  We don't tend to do much if anything for v-day anyhow.

ThisModernLove

I'm reading August: Osage County by Tracy Letts.  I'm listening to Going Clear by Lawrence Wright.  I'm going to start The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey for my IRL book club too.

For Valentine's Day, two of our friends are coming over.  We are going to have steak, wine, and these delicious layer bars: http://abc.go.com/shows/the-chew/recipes/9-layer-bar-daphne-oz

Big Cherry Holler (Big stone Gap #2) so far it's ok. I like these enough to keep reading so far but I'm not amazed. This is #11/52 for the year.

RiverPlate

I just finished Julie Prestsater's Against the Wall.  It was a cute romance, all the characters are high school teachers, and it's free on Kindle.

Oh, she drops the f-bomb a lot in general conversation, so if that irritates you than this one's not for you.

Edit: I made the girls Valentine's bags (those felt ones from the Target Dollar Aisle) with a candy bar, some cute socks, stickers and barrettes.  Husband got a video game that he apparently already has.  He's off exchanging it now.  I thought I did so good too!  Oh well.

dmlk413

Nothing! (

I finished 'Siege and Storm' on Wednesday and I don't know what I want to read next!

 

ETA: I think DH plans to cook something tonight.  I'm very afraid.

babystinkbreath

Reading Alienated and listening to Red Rising.  Both are amazing so far. 

Not sure what we will do.  Probably nothing but a movie and a bottle of wine sounds amazing.

I loved this one!

I'm reading a historical romance written by Lara Adrian under a different name.White Lion's Lady.  I'm actually really enjoying it.

Today is Collin's second birthday, so Valentine's Day kind of takes a backseat now. Tonight it all about getting ready for the party tomorrow.
<:-P

I'm reading Partials, it is #22 for the year, I'm enjoying it, I've been on a mission to finish books I've abandoned.  

I'm listening to Winter of the World, it is #23, I've just started but it's good so far.

I am reading American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House.  It's good, but this week has been crazy and it's not exactly the kind of book that keeps me turning pages when I'm dog-tired at midnight

I believe we are going to try hitting up Red Robin with the kids tonight, FANCY.

Tootermi

I'm reading The Evolution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #2). The first one was so good and I'm really liking the second so far.

I hate Valentine's Day, but I'm sure my DH will stop on his way home and get me and the girls something.
