Book Club week 1
I finished Savor the Moment - Nora Robert's Bride Quartet series - Book in a series category. It was an audiobook. I read the first two, and I realized after listening to it that I totally didn't read one of the characters the way she was read in the audiobook. I hope that makes sense. She was more quirkie then I read in my head. Cute story, kind of predictable though.
I'm currently listening to Xenocide - Orsen Scott Card (Ender's game book #3) - book written 20 or more years ago. Whoa this is a deep one! But I enjoy it.
Reading - Bitten - Kelley Armstong - Free Space. I started reading this for NBC monthly discusion. I don't usually chime in, but I like reading the posts lol. It's taken half the book to really get into it.
I have Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover to read next for non-fiction
Question - the category "Read a new book by one of your favorite authors". Does this mean a book you haven't read new, or their newest books?
Re: Book Club week 1
I'm listening to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - book in a series.
I'm reading Opening Moves by Steven James - read a new book by one of your favorite authors. It's new to me, but was written last year.
I want to use The Perks of Being a Wallflower as my book I've read before, and Downpour by Bella Leone as a book with a male main character. Beyond that, I'm not sure. There are several nonfiction books sitting on my GR shelf.
ETA: I'm going to read The Song of Achilles as my book recommended by a friend.

I'm totally slacking and let me tell you why.
I have Clash of Kings to read and I don't want to. so I haven't started that and I haven't started actually reading another book because I'm supposed to be reading a Clash of Kings. does anyone else do this.
I have a pile of books next to my bed to read though.
and I'm listening to Girl Gone and I have to figure out a way to finish it ASAP. I need to know how it ends!
The Rowdy Roberts
Are you reading CoK or listening? Sometimes I get like that if I'm not really into the book. I do find GoT books hard to get into it until like 1/3 of the way in and then I can't stop. His first couple chapters are usually new characters and I'm like WTF does this have to do with ANYTHING?!
i'm a much quicker reader than listener so I am going to read book 2. listening to them takes forever!
The Rowdy Roberts
I have that on my ipod to listen to next!
I got into a three month long reading funk because of this exact same thing but a different book. I finally moved on and ending up picking up the book a few weeks ago and finally reading it.
I have been reading a ton!
I finished:
Blue Noon-Book in a series. It's a YA book and I only read it to finish the series out. The author wrote another series that I loved but I wouldn't recommend this one.
Poison Princess-Book written in 2012. Again, YA. Really enjoyed this one but it's a little scary.
Gone Girl-50 pointer
The Fault in our Stars-Goodreads winner. One of my all time favorite books, the main character's narration is amazing!
I'm reading:
Sisterhood Everlasting-not sure what category yet-It's a companion book to the sisterhood of the traveling pants series and I'm not sure if I'm remembering the SOTTP books wrong but this book is AWFUL.
I picked up a bunch of books at the library today and am going to start Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor for book someone recommended to you tonight.
I finished Gone Girl - 50 pointer
I think I'm going to start A Discovery of Witches next - book someone suggested to me
I cannot read more than 1 book at a time. I am in awe of you girls.
No matter how much you want to give up after the first few chapters, don't do it. It started to get interesting about a quarter of the way in, but for those first few chapters I seriously questioned my sanity.

Mainly when I'm driving. Also when I'm working out and cleaning. If I'm doing mundane things at work like data entry I will listen there too.
I listen when I'm alone in the car and when I run. I never thought it would be easier to listen to spoken words when I run, but it is. It makes the time go so much faster.
