Re: Weekend Reading

  • I made very little progress on Ella Minnow Pea. I'm just not enjoying it much yet and don't have the desire to pick it up.  :|   I'm about 25% into it.

  • I made a little progress on my awesome audiobook (No One Left to Tell), but I barely touched Such a Rush.  I was a total zombie yesterday watching a marathon of Long Island Medium.

  • I was pretty lazy over the weekend, I did make some progress on The Chamber of Secrets and I started an afghan.  I wanted to make more progress on things but I wanted a lazy slob weekend.

  • I made very little progress on HP and the Goblet of Fire. We were so much busier than I thought we would be. I'm hoping to get a good chunk of it read this week.

  • I barely read anything this weekend.  I am having the hardest time getting into "The Raven Boys"  I found myself zoning out instead of reading it at the gym over the weekend.

  • I finished TFIOS and started listening to Eleanor and Park which I am loving.
    I finished reading I'm Not Here. It was just okay.
    I am reading what to expect the first year.
  • My weekend was not great.  My uncle passed away yesterday.  :(

    I finished Austenland on Saturday and picked up The Firey Cross and made a little progress.  I really need to finish that book. It's been 2 years since I started it. 

    :-O

  • I had the best weekend for reading!  I finished listening to The Kitchen House, which I didn't really enjoy. I started listening to Redshirts, a sci-fi novel. I finished reading The Bitter Kingdom, the third book in a trilogy.  It was pretty good.  I completely read Eleanor and Park - loved it.  And I started reading the latest book in the Chicagoland Vampire series.
  • I'm about halfway through The Lies of Locke Lamora.  It's so fun. It's Ocean's Eleven in a fantasy realm. I'm loving it.

  • I, unfortunately, neglected The Shining.  However, A was here so I think that's a valid excuse.

  • I finished The Disenchantments on Friday (post to come once DD goes down for a nap) and started The Girl You Left Behind.  I got about 150 pages read (but I have the large type edition so 150 pages is nothing.)

    I didn't even touch my audiobook - The Aviator's Wife.

    I'm pretty sure it was you talking about this series that sparked my interest. I'd finished HP and was looking for new books to read from the Kindle Lending Library. This has been perfect! They're so fun!

    There's another trilogy to get through once you're done with these.  She's also started another series based on WC.  She's very active on FB if you want to follow her there.  I do.

  • I read Zane by Brenda Novak and Christmas on 4th Street by Susan Mallery (the Fools Gold series) this weekend. The first one was completely ridiculous with a lot of sex and very little storyline. The second one was great! I love the series, and I loved this book!
