Re: Weekend Reading

  • I didn't pick up a book once this weekend. I just wanted to zone out in front of the TV during the times I would usually be reading.

    ^^ This was me all weekend. 

    I did start a sci fi/fantasy book last week, though. I can't remember the name of it because it's not something I was itching to read, but it happened to be a Daily Deal through Amazon and I figured I'd give it a shot. Something about magic lol I'm only a few pages in
  • I finished Eleanor & Park on Friday and started The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes yesterday. So far so good!

  • I finished Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong, Whatever Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen and started Austenland but I forget the authors name. Not too bad so far.
  • I am 3/4 of the way through A Discovery of Witches.  I really like it.

     

  • I finished book four and started book five of Lords of the Underworld series by Gena Showalter. They have really started to pick up and I'm glad I have kept reading the series.

  • I finished The Sea of Tranquility yesterday.  Oh. My. God.  What an amazing book.  I really, really didn't want it to end and I'm experiencing serious hangover right now.  

    But I'm picking up Under the Never Sky from the library in a little while, which I'm excited to dive into when DS goes down for his nap.  I'm totally neglecting my pile of grading in favor of reading and I only feel a tiny bit guilty about it!

  • I finished Smitten by Janet Evanovich..Loved it!

    Started Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay, seems like it will be a comical read.

    I also got about maybe 50 pages more read from The Host, I plan to get a bunch read tonight while A watches Football.

  • Not much really.  I had a low reading weekend.

    My favorite Cake Wreck ever.


  • I finished If I Stay by Gayle Forman.

    I am also reading Telling Ed No!, which is a book about eating disorders. I can only read a little of it at a time because it's kind of heavy.

    And I made some more progress on Daring Greatly, which is also a book that I can only read a little of at a time.

    Next up is Rose Harbor in Bloom by Debbie Macomber and Eleanor & Park.

    I finished Lover Reborn and I LOVED it! I'm picking up Lover at Last from the library after work and I'm way too excited about it.
    I am #6 on the waiting list for books 5-8 of the BDB from the Free Library of Philadelphia (I think they have four copies), and I keep thinking, "READ FASTER, people! I must get back into this series!" I almost want to buy #5, but I have plenty of other things to read, and I know as soon as I buy it, the book from the library will come up as being available. But my patience is wearing VERY THIN.

    I stalk the hold list at my library multiple times a day! People do need to read faster when I want a book!

    I read 1-9 in ebook format from my library but they never got 10 or 11 so I broke down and got the paper copy from them. My H saw the cover and was like, are you reading a sex book? He normally has no idea what I'm reading.

  • I'm making really good progress on listening to Wise Man's Fear - I think I only have 10 hours left.  I'm starting to regret that it will soon be over.  I finished reading Midnight in Austenland, and I started reading The First Affair, about a White House intern who has an affair with the President.

    Badgers won!  But other than that...no...

  • I finished The Hunger Games and got started on Catching Fire, both by Suzanne Collins.

  • I'm still making progress on EOYLBC, but I put it aside this weekend to finish Call of the Weird which was due back at the library today.  It's by documentarian Louis Theroux, who profiles outsider groups in the United States and it was fascinating.  I also made progress on God in the Dark.
