Did you get to enjoy an extra hour of... anything this weekend? (sleep? reading?)

What books did you start/finish/make good progress on/totally neglect?

Re: Weekend reading!

  • I finished a reread of Stuff Christians Like and listened to a good deal of My Story by Elizabeth Smart before I got too depressed by it and gave up.

  • I finished the last bit of A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks (meh) and started my re-read (re-listen) of The Daughter of Smoke and Bone.  I decided that it deserved another shot.

  • I picked up Dark Witch by Nora Roberts.  I'm about 2/3 of the way through it.

    My favorite Cake Wreck ever.


  • I got an extra hour sleep but no extra reading time. I spent all day on Saturday doing laundry and working on a research paper for a class. I spent some time reading on my freezing cold balcony on Friday night and Sunday though. I'm 36% through HP and the DH.

  • I made some good progress with Allegiant. I should finish today or tomorrow. I neglected everything else. Not reading the spoiler posts is getting more difficult.

  • I finished listening to Bertie Plays the Blues, which was good.  I then started listening to The Night Huntress- I'm enjoying it so far.  I completed Dark Witch, the new Nora Roberts, and while it was pretty good, it wasn't one of her best for me. I haven't started reading anything else.
  • I was a reading machine this weekend (or as dh calls me, a big dork lol).  I finished 4 books.  Friday I finished Iron Kissed, book #3 in the Mercy Thompson series.  Love these books so far!  Between Saturday and Sunday I read Going Too Far and Forget You by Jennifer Echols and Bone Crossed Book #4 in Mercy series.  All good, enjoyable reads.

  • I finished up the Goblet of Fire and read After Dead (don't bother what a waste of my time).  I started reading a bit of the Prisoner of Azkaban.

  • I made a little progress on Bold Tricks by Karine Halle. I didn't get any reading done on Saturday night because we went to play poker (aka drink wine and lose money) at a friend's house.

  • I read Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell this weekend. I loved it! 
  • Made good progress on Salt, Sugar, Fat.  It's a bit of a slow read, though.

  • I finished Gone Girl and I hated it. All of it.

  • I read a few pages of Allegiant and then put it down to pick of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.  I wanted to fly through Allegiant between my other books to help the other patrons on the hold list but I just can't.  Edgar Sawtelle has me too engrossed.

  • I got to read a little bit last night.  I am about 2/3 done with A Divided Inheritance.  I like it but I'm ready to finish it and move on to something else.

  • I read Me Before You and I think I was the only person in the universe who didn't like the book.   I got to the end and wanted to throw my eReader against the wall.

    You were not the only one! I thought it was OK, but I didn't love it like I was hoping to.

  • I finished Anna Dressed in Blood this weekend, I wasn't that crazy about it so I have no intention of reading the 2nd book. 

    I picked up Just One Year from the library, which I started this morning, and Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent which I'll start as soon as I'm done with Just One Year.

  • I actually did use the extra hour to read!

    I finally finished Everlost by Neal Shusterman and am about 2/3 of my way through my Divergent reread.  Allegiant should be waiting for me at the library by midweek so I am hoping to be able to finish Divergent during DS' nap today and start Insurgent.  Reading > Grading papers, right?

    How are you liking this one? I'm a NR virgin and thinking about starting this series. Would you recommend it so far? I'm from that area so I thought it would be cool to read.

  • finished "if I stay". It was different then I was expecting but in a good way. I can't wait to read the second book.

    Made good progress in "Just Listen" it was a slow start for me but it is picking up speed

  • I got an extra hour of tossing and turning. Damn insomnia.

    I got through about 250 pages of Sandra Brown's Deadline. I need to get off the computer and go read so I can finish it before DD wakes up!

  • I got an extra hour of sleep but only because I stole a nap on Sunday.  I've been rereading Divergent & Insurgent after finishing Allegiant last week or whenever that was. I had wanted to do a reread and didn't make time for it, so better late than never...

  • I got an extra hour of DD freaking out before naps yesterday. Damn DST!

    I finished The Round House by Louise Erdrich which I loved. I started Dragonfly in Amber (probably about 25% done).

    @CeeCeeSugaPie - I personally loved that series! I've read a lot of NR and have loved almost everything I've read. Her trilogies/series are amazing.
