    I'm reading Dreams of Gods and Monsters at home, and taking Rainbow Rowell's Attachments to work.  I'm almost done with Panic (Rook & Ronin #3) on my kindle.

    I've never been to England.  It's on the bucket list, but there are several places ahead of it.  :)

  • Reading The Golem and the Jinni. Listening to Made in the USA by Billie Letts. I would really love to go to England someday!
  • I just finished listening to Dreams of Gods and Monsters this morning - it was great, of course. I've started listening to Paper Towns, and I am still reading The Accident

    I started Dreams of Gods and Monsters this morning at my glucose test. Wish I could skive off work and finish reading!

    I might go back and reread the end of Days of Blood and Starlight tonight before picking DoGaM again...I'm having a hard time remembering things that happened before.

  • I'm reading Push Girl by Jessica Love and Chelsie Hill. :)

    I'm also listening to Carry the One by...someone who's name I totally forgot.

    Once I'm finished with PG, I plan on finally finishing Code Name Verity which I started a month ago but wasn't able to get into for some reason.

    Is DoGaM the last book in this series? I don't want to start any more unfinished series...

  • I'm reading Night of Cake and Puppets, and have just started, but I'm enjoying that it's from Zuzana's perspective.

    Also, I've been to London, just for a weekend and absolutely loved it. I was in Europe for a month when I was in HS and this was one of our stops. I would love to go back and spend some more time there.

    The UK has more natural gingers per capita than any other place in the world. I OBVIOUSLY BELONG THERE.

  • I'm finishing up Shadow Spell by Nora Roberts. It's ok, I'm not liking this series as much as some of her others. I'm reading Dubliners by James Joyce for SBC.

    I have never been to England but it's near the top of my list of places to go.

  • I'm reading a book called Jackaby by William Ritter.  He's a co-worker of mine so thought I'd give it a shot.  It's an ARC copy... #12 of the year
    It's described as "Dr. Who meets Sherlock Holmes"/ paranormal type fiction.
    https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20312462-jackaby

    Yes, I've been to England, but I was only 12, so don't remember a whole lot.  I remember some of the big touristy spots, but that's about it.

    I just got The King from the Free Library of Philadelphia for my Nook, so I am going to dive in!

    ETA - I have not been to England. The only place I have been to outside of the US is the Canada side of Niagara Falls.

    I did a re-read of the first 2 books before I started DoGaM. The first book I can probably recite passages from memory I've read it so many times,  but I was surprised at how much I'd forgotten from book 2.

    Yes, it's the last in the trilogy.

    I'm reading Dreams of Gods and Monsters and I want to read while I'm driving it's so good. I have no idea what to read once I finish. Anything else will pale in comparison to the final book in my favorite series. 

    I've got about 40 more minutes left on my Name of the Wind audiobook. Not sure whether to go on to Wise Man's Fear after this or try something new like Unbroken.

    I have never been to London.  I would absolutely love to go!

    I just started listening to 14 by Peter Clines.  I bought it based purely off reviews, so I hope I enjoy it.  I'm reading The First 20 Minutes by Gretchen Reynolds.  I have been reading it forever.  It's interesting, but it's my when-I-lay-down-for-bed reading.  I've been falling asleep too quickly lately to read more than a few pages each day. 

    I've never been to England, but I hope to someday.  I've been obsessed with the idea of traveling the countryside and visiting the rural churches since I first read D.H. Lawrence's The Rainbow
  • I'm reading The Winter Sea (love!!!!) and Silver Linings Playbook (although I left it at my parents so I probably won't finish it for a while).  I'm listening to Dance of the Gods ((#2 in the Circle trilogy) and it's pretty good- just starting to pick up action and romance wise.  They are #s  41-43 for the year.

  • A little late but I picked up This is the Story of a Happy Marriage by Ann Patchett. Thanks to @jackiback and the reading lottery.

    I am also listening to Fall of Giants.
