Happy Friday! What are you reading?

alithebride · May 2014

So how do you like it so far? Is it for any of the challenges? Happy weekend all!

ChristyDM82 · May 2014

Last night I started The Atlantis Plague by A.G. Riddle. Too soon to tell how I like it (but I did enjoy the first book in the trilogy- The Atlantis Gene, so hopefully I like this one too). It's #32 for the year.

Before that I finished Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber and found it fascinating. I did a little online reading about it afterwards and found the controversy about the book and dissociative identity disorder fascinating as well.

I'm reading Labor Day...It's for the challenge. It's alright so far. I'm not sure I liked the writing style, it's taking me a little bit to get used to. It's more like ramblings than complete thoughts and paragraphs. But that plot is starting to get more interesting.

I am currently reading The Whip by Karen Kondazian for my IRL bookclub.

Also working my way through Bonk by Mary Roach.

They are books 57 & 58 for the year.

packfan20 · May 2014

The One by Kiera Cass. I want to abandon all duties today and just read.

#55 for the year.

sneetches · May 2014

I'm still listening to Drums of Autumn. I think I have 18 hours left. I will be picking up the 4th book in the Parasol Protectorate series from the library today. I think I will also start a YA book - To All the Boys I've Loved Before.

This is waiting for me at the library!

jlc1979 · May 2014

I finished A Feast for Crows last night so the only book I have going is Twisted which is a Pretty Little Liars book and I will finish that today too. I might pick up the first Harry Potter today and start the reread that I've been wanting to do.

RevJen · May 2014

I'm downloading The Rowan on audio at the moment. I am finishing up Dragonseye on Kindle. I've been on a Pern binge lately.

jkfranklin · May 2014

I'm reading Reached (matched #2) and still reading The Wolf of Wall Street. I pretty much hate both of them.

With Reached, I feel like there are parts of the story missing or I'm forgetting stuff because she will reference something like I'm supposed to know what the back story behind it is and I'm just like huh?

TWoWS is just dull. It's basically about how he is struggling to hide his illegally obtained money that he doesn't really need because he already can afford to spend $300,000 on a comforter. I'm so sad for your FWP...

I just started listening to Outlander so there's that.

Sorry this got so long.

MrsJenE · May 2014

Still working on A Breath of Snow and Ashes. I should be finishing this weekend.

EliStar · May 2014

I'm waiting for Lauren and Jen to finish ABOSAA in order to start AEITB. In the meantime I'm starting Making Faces.

Super_Librarian · May 2014

I just finished up We Were Liars by E. Lockhart around midnight (stayed up too late reading!). It was a quick and engaging read. Today I'm planning to start To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han on my lunch break.

I'm at 67 books read toward my goal of 100. I may or may not up my goal once I reach it. I'm in the middle of a read-a-thon blog event, so I'm reading like crazy this week!

fabk · May 2014

Voyager by DG and listening to The King by JR Ward. Both are great!

hopecounts · May 2014

Just finished The Paris Wife and haven't decided what's up next yet.

Probably FanGirl as I need to read it for bookclub.

I am still reading Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson. I took a break to read the most recent five Demonica books, which overall I liked.

This trilogy is high on my list! I hadn't realized the last one had been published. I try to read YA trilogies all at once, so I do not have to wait.

Me, too!

SnShne322 · May 2014

I'm reading The Golem and the Jinni. I put down the audio and got it from the library. So I'm still not very far into it. #40

I'm listening to Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville #1). I just started it this morning so I have no opinion yet. #41

lab7979 · May 2014

I'm reading Decision Points. I started this book awhile back but set it aside for other things.

jenndawnp · May 2014

I'm finally reading Timeless, it is #63 for the year, I didn't want to the series to be over so I'm finally reading it and of course I love it.

I'm also reading Panic, it is #64 for the year, the concept is really interested and it keeps me interested.

I just started listening to Dark Places, it is #65 for the year and I really have no opinion yet.

hydrangeablue · May 2014

I'm going to start the Dinner this weekend! I was hoping to finish The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy this week but I never even picked it up...

Um, @jkfranklin , Reached is the third book, not the second. Did you skip Crossed? If so, that's why info is missing.

sassypants527 · May 2014

I am reading two books right now which is unusual for me. I've got a collection of short stories calle Dangerous Women that has stories from DG, GRRM, Lev Grossman, and other fantasy writers. It's enormous, so I am also reading The Bride Wore Size 12. That one is smaller and easier to manage while reading in the tub or on the treadmill.

Whoops. No I'm reading Crossed. I put the wrong title in my post.

Oh, good! I had a student at my last job who was told that Mockingjay was the second book and she was all confused (and mad at the person who told her wrong) because she had accidentally skipped Catching Fire. :-D

Adjudi-Kate · May 2014

Busy week, not much progress. Still reading Firebird by Susanna Kearsley and Stanislavski Never Wore Tap Shoes by Burke Moses. Listening to And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini.

Ali2b1g · May 2014

I'm reading Roots by Alex Haley and This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper. They are both for the challenge.

I am absolutely loving This Is Where I Leave You ... I'm over half way through and unless something drastic happens I will give it 5 stars!

sfgiantsjo · May 2014

I'm reading Where'd you go Bernadette? for my IRL book club. At first, I didn't like the writing style and had a hard time following who was who. But it didn't take long at all to settle into it and now I'm loving it.

I also started Dark Places, but I'll probably finish WYGB before I pick it up again.

j*&p* · May 2014

Still listening to Wise Man's Fear and reading Quiet by Susan Cain. I love both.

sweetrhythms · May 2014

I'm reading Reached and finally finishing up The Last Founding Father. I have my John Quincy bio all ready to go but I think I'm going to start The Splendour Falls. @Lauren620‌ have you started it yet?

booneybear · May 2014

Actually I just finished The Whip and now I think I will start The House of Velvet and Glass by Katherine Howe (which will be book #59 for the year).

Happy Friday! What are you reading?
