Re: Weekend Reading Update

  • I started my HP # 2 re-read (listen) and got about 30% through it. I totally neglected my other books.

  • I finished The Atlantis Gene - I enjoyed it.  I started The Fifth Wave last night. And now I'm pissed I didn't realize this is part of what is going to be a trilogy. I would have waited for all three to be out before starting the first one had I realized.

  • I've made good progress listening to Dreams of Gods and Monsters.  I read a very little bit of The Accident.
  • I read about 4 pages this weekend, but I made some serious progress on the pair of socks that I am knitting.
    90 books in 2015?

  • I finished Up From the Grave (final Night Huntress book).  I enjoyed it.  It wasn't mindblowing, but it was a nice finish to the series.

    I'm almost done with My Last Kiss, which is a Goodreads win.  I'm really into it now and want to know how it ends.

    I just started The Rosie Project on my iPad.  Nothing really to say since I just started this morning.
    75 Books in 2015?

    It's slippery as waterweed.
  • I read exactly 67 pages of Dreams of Gods and Monsters :( I had even blocked off all of last night for reading, and fell asleep at 9. Womp.

    But, even just 67 pages in I am loving it!

  • I'm reading Lover Unleashed, BDB #9, it is pretty good so far, I'm trying to remember things because I put the series aside and now I'm getting back into it.  I meant to read more this weekend but organizing and cleaning got in the way.

  • Made very little progress on The People In the Trees.  It's sort of slow starting, and I'm hoping it picks up soon, because at this pace, it's looking longer and longer every day.
  • I finished The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley. I was expecting more. It wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite of hers :(

  • I finished Vampire Academy.  I thought it was okay.  I read about 12% of The Goldfinch which I am still enjoying but didn't have much time to read this weekend.
  • I finished The Pact. I gave it 3 stars. It was too drawn out for me, especially since the ending was obvious early on.

    I started and finished Attachments. Loved it! 5 stars.

    Started Sharp Objects and The King last night.

  • I finished reading Flame of Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier.

    I went to a book bazaar on Saturday and picked up a bunch of books and started reading Kaleidoscope by Danielle Steel.
    It's a very quick read.

  • I finished A Lost Witch, the last A Modern Witch book. It was the first one to make me cry actual tears (although I was close on a few others and was extra emotional this weekend already). I can't wait to start her next series.

    The WitchLight trilogy is completed but the new Witch Central series only has two books so far.  There's also a standalone about Nell and Daniel.

    Should I read the WitchLight trilogy before the next series? I think I heard about the standalone. I've been meaning to get to that one. That was a prequel right? From when they met?

    ETA I've been reading this via Amazon Prime's Lending Library, so I only get to read one a month. It's helping me make them last but with each one I find myself wanting the next sooner and sooner haha.

  • I finished A Plague of Zombies and started Unbroken.  I'm about seven chapters into Unbroken and like it so far.

     

  • I finished a book for the first time in 2 months! I read Noggin by John Corey Whaley this weekend and it was SO good!
    image
  • I finished Jenny Han's Summer trilogy with It's Not Summer Without You and We'll Always Have Summer.  The books get better as the trilogy goes on, I'm really glad I didn't quit after the first book, which was my first inclination.

    I'm maybe halfway into Dreams of Gods and Monsters.

  • I completely neglected Nothing to Envy.  I didn't read a word this weekend.  :-(
  • I started and finished Let The Sky Break, and really loved it. I'm starting DoGaM next!

    I finished the BDB that I was reading and also the Bella Andre that I was reading. I started the next ones in both series. I think I may have to take a step back from these series. Serious sex overload right now. :\">

    The standalone is the prequel during which Nell and Daniel meet.  For me, it's my least favorite of her entire catalog.  Do the WitchLight trilogy first.

  • I made a little progress on The Wise Man's Fear but not nearly as much as I would have liked. I really enjoy it but I want to get through it and it is so long!
