What did you finish and what are you reading?

I completely gave up on Sins of the Mother. It was terrible. It just kept repeating how she loved her work and her husband and mother took care of the kids. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Once I gave that up, I read Island Girls by Nancy Thayer which was decent. Now I am reading A Thousand Splendid Suns which I am really loving.

Still listening to The Cuckoos Calling...

I will finish up listening to HP6 (re-read) today.

I finished Lover Unbound (BDB #5) last week and loved it. So far my favorite of the series.

I started Code Name Verity and I'm not feeling it, I'm hoping it picks up soon.

I also started Chose the Wrong Guy, Gave Him the Wrong Finger and it's light and fun. I will finish that early this week.

These are 30, 31 and 32 for the year. My goal is 50.

@Cathyl7910, I LOVED A Thousand Splendid Suns!

I tried to read a lot this past week since it was spring break! I read before I Fall by Lauren Oliver and I really liked it overall! I gave it 5 stars, which is rare for me. I also read Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin. I wasn't crazy about it. It was okay, but not great. I wouldn't recommend it, but I wouldn't discourage you if you wanted to read it. 

I am currently reading Hopeless by Colleen Hoover (Hopeless #2). I'm really liking it, but I'm wishing I had read it closer to the first one because there's so much I want to compare, I just can't remember!!

Still chipping away at the Vinyl Princess. Haven't had the time to read unfortunately. May lean towards getting audiobooks for next week while I'm night shift.

Any sneak peeks of your book?

I might let you gals have a first crack at it  I will probably e-publish so you can get it on Amazon.  

It's not genre fiction...but it's kind of based on the Lauren Spierer case (google it, it's a long story) here in Indiana.  It's kind of Twin Peaks-y/Spoon River Anthology-ish (a book I love).  It goes through the lives of all the people in this town and how they're affected by the girl going missing/presumed dead.  The town is based on Bloomington, IN where IU is, which is a really interesting place because parts of it are very small town, but then there are the rich, ivory tower types, and all kinds of people in between.  

I try to get 1500 words per day down, and at this point it should be at around 400 pages when I'm done.

I'm in serious Awe with writers. That's so awesome! Good luck Evan! My cw just self-published on Amazon and is printing to paperback now. I showed her good reads to help get the word out. It's been fun to watch her book get out there. Can't wait for yours!
