Re: Book Club Monday

  • I can finally contribute again! I started SEATING ARRANGEMENTS by Maggie Shipstead. So far, so good.

  • I just finished Life of Pi and, while it was definitely an interesting read, I don't think I liked it nearly as much as most people seem to.

  • Still listening to The Rogue - Joe Ginniss.  Blah... I need to finish since Beautiful Creatures just became available for me!

    I'm still reading Shadow of Night - Deborah Harkness.  Almost half done... I have 10 more days with it from the library, so I really need to read like 40 pages/day!  It's getting better.

    I've read 14 books this year, and Goodreads says I'm 3 books ahead of schedule.

    I was Meh about it too, but I found myself thinking about it way after I was done.

  • I am still reading Hostile Witness, courtroom dramas just don't "do it" for me.

    I finished Requiem (Delirium #3) this weekend.  I was a huge fan of of the first two books.  I'm not satisfied with the ending.  It's an Ok ending, but for this being the last book of a trilogy, I need more. 

  • Oh, I forgot to answer about my book goal.  I've read 15 books this year, and am 6 books ahead of my goal of 50.  I was going to up my goal, but I have hit a bit of book burnout.  Plus, I might be able to read 2 books all summer, so it's good to be ahead right now.
  • I read Divergent (loved it!!!) and I'm currently reading Defending Jacob. Not sure what I'll read next. I got a paperback from the good reads giveaway, so maybe I'll do that. 

    So far I've read 22 books which is 20% of my goal of 110.

    Ha, Life of Pi is one of those I don't want to read, because I had an ex who was obsessed with it, and so I have weird spite-resentment towards it for no logical reason, but when I finally heard about it with the movie, it did definitely sound interesting.

  • I finally finshed Beautiful Creatures this weekend and I started on Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill, (Stephen King's son).  The story is good, but I feel like his writing is very amature.  I think that he could be good, he just needs to hone his skills a little more.  It is his first book after all.

    As for my goal, I made it 20 books, not knowing how I was going to do with my Nook.  I have finished 10 books and am 50% complete with my goal.  I think that I need to update my goal. lol

  • H and I saw the Great and Powerful Oz this weekend.  I immediately came home and bought the entire Oz collection for my kindle (Hurry up if you're interested, it's currently 95 cents for all 14 books).

    I plan to start reading them this weekend.  I may actually read it as a read aloud for my students.

    I've been terrible with reading this year, but I didn't set any goals so I'm not behind.  

  • I am reading my drivers manual lol

    I signed up finally to take driving courses to get my license I start March 18th... so going through the book. (yes I am 33 and never even had a learners permit)

    I need to get to the library and get a real book soon.
