Re: Happy Friday!! What are you reading?

  • I am reading The Truth About Forever, A Clash of Kings and Inner Harbor.  I am enjoying them all so far.  They are all for fun as I'm taking a break from the challenges this fall. They are #83 - 85 for the year.

  • I am currently reading 

    The Abominable by Dan Simmons.  It is good but not a page turner.  But it does seem to be picking up at this point.

    The Red Garden by Alice Hoffman.  I always enjoy Alice Hoffman's writing and this book is cute.  Every chapter is from a different year and deals with the decendents of this one town. 

    Also trying to finish up Last Call: the rise and fall of prohibition by Daniel Okrent.  This book is taking me forever.

  • I am about the finish Kate Daniels #4. Where is the I <3 Curran badge? I have also started the Claymore manga series, which is almost identical to the show so far, and I like it. These are somewhere around 190 for the year.

  • I finally finished up Just One Day (24).  It actually turned out much better than I thought it would and I ended up giving it 4 stars.  I'm now about 10 pages into Ender's Game (25).

    I FINALLY finished Allegiant. I hate the way it ended but I can't say I was surprised.

    I started Magic Strikes (#44) this morning. I hope this week be the cure to the Allegiant funk. Bring it on Curran!

    I plan to read Fangirl (#45) as well.

  • I just finished Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2) last night. Just as good as book one.

    I'm probably going to start Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian this weekend.

  • I'm reading Elizabeth of York by Alison Weir, it's pretty good so far.  It's #80 for the year.  I'm also still listening to The Fiery Cross.  I forgot how much I liked this one!

  • I am working my way through Allegiant. I am about 75% through. I like it ok, definitelly not as much as the first 2.

    I am listening to The Feast of Crows. I am bored and can't wait for it to be over. I liked the Storm of Swords so much, and I am very disappointed in this one :(

  • I'm reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I'm 12% done, so not very far at all- but I like it so far.

    I already met my goal of 25 books in October, so now I'm just seeing how many I read by the end of the year. This is # 32.

  • I'm rereading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. For some reason I'm not as into this one as the first three, but I remember loving it the first time I read it. 
    It's just for fun and is #51 for the year

  • I finished Dark Witch this week.  I'm not sure how I felt about it so I need to go back again and read it before I can rate it.

    My favorite Cake Wreck ever.


  • I'm reading Eleanor & Park. It's a little slow moving, but I'm expecting great things from this book.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

    These texts are my favorite. 

    I just re-read it and I want to read it again. SO. FUNNY.

    Attempting AGAIN to listen to The Aviator's Wife.  I just can't get into it.

  • Just finished Champion by Marie Lu and loved it. 

    Starting Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson today. 

    Still listening to Incarceron by Catherine Fisher.  It's at a really exciting part!  Wish I could think of an excuse to spend more time in the car today so I could finish it.   

  • I'm listening to Doctor Sleep, love it!  It is #71 for the year.

    I'm also reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it is #72 for the year.

  • I'm listening to Halfway to the Grave, which is really good.  I just put in for the second book.  I will start Fangirl tonight after work.
  • I'm reading Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, Born in Shame by Nora Roberts and very badly neglecting The Spy Who Loved.  I'm going to pick it up again today. 

    I'm really loving Lean In, she has some great advice.  Born in Shame is a little predictable but I'm enjoying it.  The Spy Who Loved was a little dry and boring at the beginning, but I'm going to keep going.  I'm going to try to fit at least one of them into the FBC.

  • I'm rereading Insurgent.  Allegiant should be in at the library for me soon.. I was expecting it yesterday, so now it looks like I'll have to wait until after the long weekend.  Sigh.  Anyway it is 42/52 for the year.

  • I'm reading The Edge of Always by J.A. Redmerski. I loved The Edge of Never, but I am really thinking it should have just ended with that. I am kind of ready for it to be over. It will be #86/85 for the year.

  • I'm almost done with Across a Star-Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund. I'm loving this series! 

    And I've put off starting the Divergent trilogy until now--I like being able to read all the books in a series at once sometimes. I'm a few chapters in and liking the first book so far. I know that a lot of people hate the last book, but that just makes me more curious about it.

  • I am reading Dark Witch. @RevJen I can see what you mean by not sure how you feel about it yet. I am not too far in, but while I love the story it really hasn't grabbed me yet.

    I am listening to Allegiant.
