  • I just started The Girl on the Train yesterday, and am also starting Voyager this weekend.

  • I just started Day Shift by Charlaine Harris last night. I put Autobiography of a Fat Bride and the Time Traveler's Guide to Eliz. England aside so I can read this instead. I'm also listening to The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time #12) in the car.

  • I'm reading Footnotes in Gaza, Great Expectations, and Moody Bitches - numbers 87, 88, and 89 for the year.  I like the first two, but I've only just started Moody Bitches - so far she's really negated the benefits of medicating mental illness, which really annoys me, but I'm willing to keep going for a while.

  • I just started Unsouled (Unwind #3) by Neal Shusterman
    I bought it when it first came out but for some reason never got around to reading it. I just noticed my library has the 4th book so I decided now is a great time to read it so I can get the 4th book soon.

    I just finished a draft of my WIP so I'm mostly reading through that and making notes, but I also just started Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig. It's pretty good so far. 

    I'm still working on The Mime Order on audio.

  • I'm reading The Serpent on the Crown, it is #38, it's good but I've been a slacker.

    I'm listening to Up from the Grave, it is #39 and I just started it but I'm sure I will love it.

    I'm listening to A Man Called Ove, and I'm right at the end.  I should finish on my way home from work today.  4 stars.  I severely disliked Ove at the beginning, but I guess that was the point.  Since then, it's a nice story.  I still don't care for Ove's attitude, but at least I can see that he means well.

    I'm reading The Tragedy of Puddinhead Wilson by Mark Twain.  I'll probably finish that tonight too.  Also 4 stars, I think, but we'll see how it ends. 

    These are only 20 and 21 for the year.  I thought I was further along than that, but I guess James Madison ate up a lot of time.  Next up, I'm picking up The Dinner by Herman Koch, to read, and Sharp Places by Gillian Flynn, to listen to, from the library this afternoon.

  • I am reading the Jack of Fables graphic novel series. I am about to start book 7 and think I'll finish the last two this weekend. It's good; as is most anything related to the Fables graphic novel series. It is probably close to a 100 for the year.

  • I just want to add that the title Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls is one of the best book titles I have ever come across.  I just hope the book doesn't suck.

    This is the first I've heard of it but I'm intrigued. The title makes me think of Jay Asher's "13 Reasons Why" right away. If my bandwidth was better I would Google it right now but I wonder whether it's an epistolary novel or an actual anthology of suicide notes...

  • I'm in a funk, so while I'm currently not reading anything, I think I'll do a reread of Harry Potter to get out of this funk.
