How do you like it so far? Is it for one of the challenges or just fun?

ChristyDM82 · August 2013

I'm reading Phantom of the Opera. I'm only10% into it- it's okay. It's #18 of my goal of 25. This past week I started and finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I really enjoyed it! I've finally jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon!

jlq2005 · August 2013

I'm reading The Cuckoo's Calling. It's a little slow going. I'm hoping that it picks up. It's a pretty nice size book, and I'm only about 100 pages in.

Nova726 · August 2013

I'm reading The Moon Dwellers, it's the first book in The Dwellers series, I'm liking it so far. It's 26/30 for .

Super_Librarian · August 2013

I'm reading The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. It is so, so good! I think it's my favorite of hers so far. It will be #111 toward my goal of 200.

aggiebug · August 2013

I am reading the Time Keeper, by Mitch Albom. Its an easy read in typical Mitch Albom fashion so I imagine I will finish today. Who knows what else I will start this weekend.

its #36 for the year.

SnShne322 · August 2013

I'm reading The Sea of Tranquility. I'm not that far in so no opinions yet. #41

I'm listening to The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. I'm liking it quite a bit, but it's due today at the library so I have a feeling I'm going to get halfway through my day and it's going to stop working. #42

jackiback · August 2013

I'm reading Salting Roses. It's good but I have been super busy this week so I'm struggling to really get into it.

eajanvrin · August 2013

I am reading "City of Bones" and liking it. I am also rereading "Wicked". I read it when it first came out and thought I would pick it up again. They are both SuBC challenge books and #37, #38.

Hoycie · August 2013

Stephen King- IT. #32

I loved both of these series!

Currently reading:

- Theodore Roosevelt: A Life by Nathan Miller. It is for my presidential challenge and is book #49 for the year. I am really enjoying it so far. It is exactly what I want out of a presidential biography.

- I think I will also start The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum today as well on my Kindle. I am in the mood for so sick, twisted, horror right now. It will be book #50 for the year.

@Hoycie "We all float down here" :O)

SacGeoLover · August 2013

I'm about halfway through Inferno (18). It's not my favorite Dan Brown, but I'm enjoying it.

duxcaelo · August 2013

I am about halfway into Chosen, the third House of Night book, and a couple chapters into The Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead. I like how complex the first has become and I think I will continue to read the series. The second has an interesting world but I'm not sure how I feel about the main character. These will fall somewhere around 130 for the year.

beebe918 · August 2013

I'm listening to Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns. The story is a tad on the boring side for my liking but the narrator is fantastic.

julie37619 · August 2013

Reading Jeneration X by Jen Lancaster and listening to Robopocalypse. They'll be numbers 88 and 89 for the year. Robopocalypse is for the genre challenge.

andypandy625 · August 2013

Reading The Great Santini by Pat Conroy. It's okay so far...I just started. It's one of my husband's books that I have never read that I just picked up off the bookshelf last night. I'll be using it for SuBC.

I envy your reading speed!

I just started listening to HP 3 this morning. And I forgot that I'm in the very beginnings of Clockwork Prince.

You're not feeling Eugenie? I have a soft spot for her.

MrsJenE · August 2013

Just started Wise Man's Fear. It's #43 for the year.

Just. Wait. Eugenie is a BAMF.

Ali2b1g · August 2013

I'm reading The Secret Keeper: Kate Morton which I like, but don't love like her other books and also I just started Different Seasons: Stephen King as a reread. They are both for the challenge.

nocturnalintimacy · August 2013

@duxcaelo I love Eugenie. and Dorian. Sigh

I just started A Visit from the Goon Squad. Jury is still out. I'm sort of depressed already.

I will keep reading. I hope that I feel this way about her by the end of this book!

JLyn821 · August 2013

I'm reading Up to Me by M. Leighton. It's a GR giveaway win. It's not that great at all. In fact, it feels like I'm reading crappy fan fiction. But...if I want to win more GR giveaways, I need to read and review. I banged out 100 pages yesterday. Here's hoping I can get through the rest of it this weekend. It's #51 of 75 for the year.

Chosen was my favorite of the series. I read up to #7 and then quit because I felt like the overall plot had lost its way and I was getting bored.

I'm still working on Shantaram. I'm enjoying it, but I think it helps that I know a bit about Bombay already. I'm struggling with it a bit because it's very episodic, and I like a more defined story arc. The writing, insight, characters, etc. are all great, but it's very easy for me to pick up and put down a book that's a series of vignettes without a clear connecting plotline (*cough* Outlander).

CeeCeeSugaPie · August 2013

I just finished reading The Crimson Crown last night. I am so sad that it is over. I loved it. Not sure what I will pick up next.

sweetrhythms · August 2013

I'm halfway through The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen. It's #51 and just okay. I wanted a quick read but this isn't really it between the baby and the the blah storyline and characters.

Happy Friday :)What are you reading?
