Re: Happy Friday!! What are you reading?

  • I am listening to Kicking and Dreaming, which is interesting so far.  It is the memoir of Ann and Nancy Wilson.  I'm still in their childhood, so I haven't gotten to any good rock and roll dirt yet.  I'm slowly reading Cutting for Stone for a book club.  I'm still not sure about it.
  • Currently reading Wilson by A. Scott Berg for my presidential challenge.  I am really enjoying it.

    Also reading Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris.  I am not a fan so far. 

    Books #1 & 2 for 2014

    90 books in 2015?

  • I'm STILL listening to Under the Never Sky and I hope to finish it last week. This is my third renewal of the book at the library. It is finally starting to go somewhere and keep my interest.

    I started Lover Awakened (BDB#4) last night and will start Between Shades of Gray on my lunch this afternoon.

  • I am listening to The Diviners by LIbba Bray.  It's pretty good and the narrator is great!

    I'm reading Falling Star by Diana Dempsey.  I just started and don't have an opinion yet.

    These are #2 and #3 for the year.

  • I'm reading Sea Glass by Maria V. Snyder.  I'm really enjoying it so far. #1

    I'm listening to Dying Bites by D D Barant.  It's alright.  The MC is funny so that helps. #2

  • I am reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks for my IRL book club.  I am also reading Chose the Wrong Guy, Gave Him the Wrong Finger and Lover Unbound but I think I need to put them aside for a few days or I won't finish my book club book in time.

    I love the Pern books!  Have you read the others?
  • I've read nearly all the ones that she's written.  I tried one by her son but it didn't have the same feeling.  I've also read the Pegasus series, Tower and Hive series, and Crystal Singer trilogy.  I've picked up one of the Acorna books and one of the Petaybee books but never the others.

  • I'm starting Damned by Chuck Palahniuk today. It's for my book club.

    I agree about her son's writing.  It is just not very good.  Her Freedom's Landing series is also good.
  • I am reading "The Scorch Trials" this morning.  It will be #2 for the year.

  • Dark Witch by Nora Roberts
    There's More to Life Than This by Teresa Caputo

    Listening to: I have 5% to go on Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks, then I'm starting Mockingjay.

  • I spent over an hour sorting through my Goodreads last night and I'm still not sure what to start.  I think if I can find a good synopsis of The Raven Boys online somewhere, I'll start The Dream Thieves today.

  • I'm reading Beautiful Addictions by Season Vining (aka @Skeezon) - It's an ARC and I'm about 30% in so far and intrigued as to where it's going.

    I'm now reading instead of listening because my library lend period was over and I couldn't renew: Sugar, Salt, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us.

    I'm listening to Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham (WHICH SHE NARRATES!!!!!!) and I'm liking it a lot so far.

    Books 2, 3, and 4 for the year.

  • Slowly continuing my way through Chernow's Washington Bio (I love it but I try not to read too much in one sitting because I want to really be able to focus); Listening to the Graveyard Book (loving it!); Also reading "One Thousand Gifts" for an upcoming biblestudy, it's sooo good!!

    These will be 1, 2, and 3 for the year!
  • I'm reading Isabella by Colin Falconer and I like it so far.  It will be #1 for the year.

  • I'm reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Its #1 for the year. I'm hoping it fits into a WBC category but haven't checked out the list yet.

    I'm not quite halfway through and it's pretty good so far.

  • I'm reading Organized Mind, Organized Life. It's #1 for the year and not interesting me at all. I'm probably going to put it aside for a little bit.

  • I'm reading Things Pondered by Beth Moore and Prodigy by Marie Lu. They are #2 and 3 for the year.
  • I'm reading The Winter Sea (#1 for the year!) and thoroughly enjoying it.  I totally just want to snuggle down and read all day tomorrow.  (Not that it's likely to happen.  I've been pretty spoiled with reading time lately because MH has had vacation days from work.)

  • I'm reading This Song will Save your Life by Leila Sales and The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley. This Song Will Save Your Life, I'm enjoying. The Winter Sea is boring my socks off, so far. Nothing has happened. 

    #1 and #2/100 for the year.
