Happy Friday! What are you reading?

How do you like it so far? Just for fun or one of the challenges? Thanks @fabk for posting last week. London was great. I was glad to get back there and with mid 60s/sunny all week it was lovely.

I'm about halfway through wedding night and it's pretty funny. Hoping to finish it up this weekend.

I'm reading A Modern Witch and its okay so far.  I think it's around number 15 for the year.  Glad you liked London and glad you had nice weather since it rains a lot there.  Did you get much reading done?

I'm chugging my way through Code Name Verity. I should finish it up this weekend.

It is #32 for the year. My goal is 50.

Kate&Mark

I'm working on Dreams of Gods and Monsters - loving it.

I'm also listening to My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor. I'm really enjoying it - should finish it up today. 

jlq2005

I'm reading This Is Where I Leave You. It's pretty good so far, but I'm not really that far into it, only about 60 pages. 

It's for SBC and is #18 for the year.

I am reading Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson, which is book eight in the Malazan series. It is around sixty for the year. It has been okay so far.

I'm about 25% into Attachments.  Loving it.  It's hilarious.  I think it's #29 (?) for the year.

I should finish Dreams of Gods and Monsters this morning if things stay quiet in the library - I'm so excited to FINALLY get to read all the spoiler posts that have been taunting me all week.

I'm hoping to finish Black Rose today and I'm about halfway through A Feast for Crows and Someday Someday, Maybe.

I started reading The Language of Flowers last night for my IRL Book Club. I love it so far.

I'm listening to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I catch myself laughing out loud a lot which I love.

I've got about 30 minutes left to listen to Maisie Dobbs, which is a gentle mystery.   I like that it is set around WWI, as I don't know much about that time period.  I just finished reading a book, and I haven't decided what to start next.

jkfranklin

I'm reading Orange is the New Black. It's only OK for me. I don't like her writing style. It's like every paragraph has to be epic and poetic. I want to finish it so I can start my lottery book that I picked up from the library this week!
I just finished listening to The Descendants so I'm in need of another audio book.

I have just barely started A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra.  I LOVE the title of the book.  However, I am not too sure about the book itself.

I am also working my way through Blood and Thunder: The Epic Story of Kit Carson and the Conquest of the American West by Hampton Sides

These are books #51 and #52 for the year.

ChristyDM82

Last night I started The Splendour Falls by Susanna Kearsley. I'm not far enough along to have an opinion yet. It's #28 for the year.

dmlk413

I'm reading Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer.  It's way better than I expected.  It's #27 for the year.

I'm also listening to ABOSAA.

RevJen

I'm listening to Saving Grace by Julie Garwood.  I have no clue what number it is.  I lost track.

fabk

I am reading Make You Mine by Macy Beckett, Outlander by DG, and listening to Call The Midwives.
Needless to say they are all awesome!

jenndawnp

I'm reading Dark Tower, Volume 1, it is pretty good so far, it is #53 for the year.

I'm listening to Zombie Fallout 6, it is really great and it is #54 for the year.

I'm also reading Lover Unleashed, it is a little bit painful and I hate to say that about BDB books but I'm ready for this one to be over. It is # 55 for the year.

Hoycie

I haven't had time to read all week, but I will be starting Daughter of Smoke and Bone today.  I think this is my 14th book of the year.  I'm 5 books behind for my challenge of 60.

Same as last week:

Reading The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara.  It started off with a lot of build up - interesting build up, but it seemed to take a while for the story to really get going - and now I sort of can't put it down.  To be honest, though, based on some reviews, I was expecting it to be so messed up and disturbing, but so far not so much.  I have about 70 pages left, so maybe that's still coming.

Listening to Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.  It's amazing, but you all know that already.  You want to hear a BR FFFC?  The reason I think it took me so long to pick this book up is because I'm a little bit prejudiced against female authors, especially with history books.  I cannot explain myself, and I know it's completely irrational and goes against every feminist bone in my body, but there it is.  The narrator is a dude, who sounds the part for a biography about Louie Zamperini, but I was a little hung up on the author being a woman for a while there.  I'm glad I got over that and decided to pick it up.

These are numbers 18 and 19 for the year.

Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins.  It's just okay so far.  Eh.

#48 for the year.

kpow

Reading The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle and listening to Frozen in Time by Mitchell Zuckoff.

SnShne322

I'm reading Rose Under Fire.  It's so good, and so hard to read.  Hard, but not difficult, if you KWIM.  #33

EliStar

I'm in between books right now. I finished Mara Dyer #2 last night and now I'm either going to start Making Faces or Letters to Skye. 

BabyRN2006

This Is Where I Leave You for SBC. I am really enjoying it so far!

Shepherdjel

I am reading Fragments by Dan Wells (Partial #2) @BabyRN2006 when does it get better!!! I am so disappointed with this book right now, I loved Partials and, I am sorry but a book that doesn't get good until 300 pages in is JUST ANNOYING!

I am slowly starting Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand too, for Reading Lottery and am 3% in and really enjoying it so far!

17&18 for the year

I had planned on reading Partials, but this is discouraging.

@Shepherdjel I was disappointed in Fragments too. It got better at the end but the first probably 2/3 dragged. I am taking a break before diving into the final book but hopefully it redeems the series.

I'm reading Push Girl and loving it, and am doing a re-read/listen of Ready Player One.

I'm listening to Wise Man's Fear (an audio reread) and reading The Hundred Foot Journey for a new IRL book club. I like Hundred Foot Journey but it's taking me forever to read. It's way more narrative-heavy (as opposed to a good mix of dialogue, action, and narrative) than what I've been reading lately so I get impatient that it's not moving faster.
