Happy Friday!! What are you reading?

How do you like it so far? Is it for any of the challenges?

Working on my re-read of The Fiery Cross.  It's #23 for the year.

I'm listening to The Cuckoo's Calling again and rereading Born in Ice.

I am reading The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson. It has been good so far. It is around forty five for the year. I started and finished Pleasure Unbound in the Demonica series during the week. It was such a fast read. I am looking forward to picking up the next one in the series.

I also picked up Drums of Autumn and was pleasantly surprised by the size.

I just this morning finished listening to Dragonfly in Amber, and then I started Voyager.  I hit my school library this morning - she's expecting the delivery of new books today.  If no kids want them, I can take them home for next week - spring break means a lot of reading time.

I'm listening to HP and the Goblet of Fire as part of my HP re-read. 

I'm reading The Rosie Project and loving it so far. 

I started Hyperbole and a Half last night and got about half way.  I've laughed out loud a few times, it's really funny!

They are #35-#37 for the year.

I am listening to Feed by Mira Grant and am surprised by how much I am liking it so far.  

I just finished a book last night and read the first few pages of Tomorrow Will Be Better by Betty Smith.

I'm in the same spot as last week.  Still reading John Adams (but now I only have 30 pages left!), and still listening to The Botany of Desire. 

I don't love The Botany of Desire as much as I remember liking it last time around.  I'm really enjoying the section about marijuana, and still really liked the one about tulips, but found myself getting bored with Johnny Appleseed.  Honestly, I think the fact that I'm listening to it now with World Book Night in the back of my mind is giving me anxiety.  I wish I had picked a book that would have had broader appeal.

Adams is for the Presidential Challenge, and these are books 13 and 14 for the year.

Gah!  My favorite!

We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen.  This book is gorgeously written.  

The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines #2) by Richelle Mead.  Freaking Sydney.  

The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman.  I am bored out of my mind with this one.  We are reading it for my IRL bookclub.  I can't believe this book is only 300+ pages, it feels like 1,300 pages.  

The Harding Era:  Warren G. Harding and his Administration by Robert K. Murray.  Yes, I am still plugging away.  Ugh.

ChristyDM82

I'm reading The Golem and the Jinni. I'm about 25% into it and am enjoying it so far.

It's #20 for the year.

I heard so many good things about this book!  How far in are you?  You make me rethink whether I want to read it.

I just started my re-read of TFC yesterday. I'm about 10% in. It's 19/100 for the year. 

taylormillgirl

I'm reading Into the Still Blue. I love this series.

jlc1979

Well this will be my last week posting that I am reading A Storm of Swords because I'm down to the last 75 pages!  I am also reading Lover Avenged and Blue Dahlia.  I am loving all three!

@SusieBW  I am just over 1/2 way through.  I feel like I have been reading it forever.  I can see how people might like it, but I am just bored to tears.

I'm 3/4 of the way through The Magicians, by Lev Grossman.  It's pretty good and I plan to read the follow up.

It gets better. I wasn't blown away by it, but it did get better. I think it's worth seeing through to the end.

The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen and I am LOVING it!!! :-) 9/50 for the year...says I am right on track ;-)

WillyH19

I'm listening to HP5 for a re-read. I'm reading The Shadowy Horses and loving it. I should finish this weekend.

These are 23 and 24 for the year.

 I felt the EXACT same way with this one...awful! Good Luck with the rest of it!

I'm reading All Night Long by Jayne Ann Krentz. It's a romantic thriller.

#31 for the year.

I finally finished Washington: A Life. Loved it but it took forever. Now reading A Celtic Witch and not very far in but liking it so far.

RiverPlate

I'm about 3/4 done with Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen.  From the description, I know it's her first book, but I'm not liking it as much as I've liked her others.  I can't connect with the MC.

 

jenndawnp

I'm listening to Salem's Lot, it's good so far, it is #37 for the year.

I'm still reading Children of the Storm, it is #38, it's okay but I'm just not in the mood for it.  I want something trashy and easy to read.

BabyRN2006

I am reading Partials. I am really enjoying it, I just wish I had more time to read! Its been a rough week.

This book was meh for me. Most of it was boring, I didn't like anyone in it, and while the end did get better, it took forever to get through the first half. I was left with conflicted feelings.

If you haven't already, read Tell The Wolves I'm Home instead. (These two are linked in my mind because I read them back to back. Random recommendation, I know. They are in no way similar.)

booneybear

@sfgiantsjo  I have already read Tell the Wolves I'm Home (and LOVED it).

krispy83

I just started Fahrenheit 451 last night.  I've never read it.  I'm only about 10 pages in so I don't really have an opinion yet.  It is 14/52 for the year.

sfgiantsjo

I'm still reading Breaking Night. I am really liking it, I've just been busy and haven't been able to read much.  I recommend picking this one up. It's a little difficult to read at times, but worth it.

It is #14 for the year.
