It's a beautiful, sunny Monday morning here! I'm hoping to get out for a walk at lunch and enjoy the milder temperatures before winter returns later this week. I hope it's a nice day where you are!

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

Re: Weekend Reading Progress

  • I finished Dark Witch by Nora Roberts (4 stars) and started Just One Day by Gayle Forman. I also made a decent dent in Mockingjay (on audio).

  • I'm nearly halfway through Outlander.  I'm nearly done with my relisten of Bed of Roses and I have two credits to burn today for something new.  I have no clue what I want though.

    I neglected Four Sisters, All Queens this weekend.  Outlander is more interesting, even if it's a reread for me.

    My favorite Cake Wreck ever.


  • I reread both Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door.  I started listening to the fourth book of the Incorrigible Children series.
  • I had a great reading weekend, H was gone at work or sleeping the whole time. I started and finished Marital Bitch, a freebie kindle book that I've been sitting on for a while.

    I started the audiobook of Fangirl and am loving it. I'm feeling like such a nerd for being so excited when Maxwell Caulfield starts reading. All I picture is Rex Manning from Empire Records.

    The weather here is also supposed to be warmish. And the sun is out.

  • I got zero reading done this weekend. It was the first time I was out of the house in a week after being quarantined with the flu. It was go, go, go.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

    Now I am going to be thinking about Empire Records all day. Thansk @WillyH19

    I listened to Bitten by Kelley Armstrong....almost twice in preparation for the show on Saturday night!
  • You're welcome @fabk.  It's an excellent movie!

  • I listened to all of World War Z, I really loved it. 

    I really slacked on The Golden One, I had wanted to finish it this weekend but WoW and movies distracted me.

  • My library had The Ocean at the End of the Lane available for 7 day loan, so I picked it up and I'm about 4 chapters in.  So far I like it a lot, but I have no idea where it's going at all.  I'm scared of 7 day loans anymore, because I read so slow!  It's due back on Saturday, so I need to read it quick!.
  • Oh now I totally need to re-watch Empire Records!!
    "Shock me, shock me, shock me with your deviant behavior!"

    I completely neglected all reading.  I need to finish Sugar, Salt, Fat and I only have 100 pages but this book is making me feel angry and guilty all at the same time.

    I'm looking forward for you guys doing to re-read to get to The Fiery Cross. I want to pick up A Breath of Snow and Ashes, but it's been so many years, I can't remember what the hell happened in book 5.

  • I finished Hunting Ground & Fair Game (Alpha & Omega 2 & 3).  They were both good, liked them better than #1 but still not as much as the Mercy series.  I also started Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland #1).

    Some of the later books are all a blur to me at this point. I was way overdue for a re-read!

    It's slippery as waterweed.
  • Basically nothing.  We were busy Friday and Saturday and then I got sick.  I tried reading yesterday but was too distracted by my stomach revolting.

  • I finished Where We Belong by Emily Giffin. It was pretty good, and a fast read. I sort of neglected Mr Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore, but I'm trying to get back into it.

  • I read Nicholas Spark's newest book The Longest Ride.  It was okay.  Sweet, but just okay.  It was #3 for the year.  

    I'm planning to start Horns today!

  • I finished Wilson by A. Scott Berg.  You know a biographer is good when you end up in tears at the end of a biography.  It happened when I finished reading John Adams and now again with Wilson.

  • I read most of The Wizard Heir, by Cinda Williams Chima. I'm liking this series better than I thought I would after some so-so reviews here. I mean it is in no way The Seven Realms, but the books hold my attention.

    I'm a geek right there with you, it is in my top 5 favorites of all time. I just realized I don't own it, and now I'm sad. I might have to stop and pick it up on my way home tonight!
