Happy Friday! What are you reading?

alithebride · June 2014

How do you like it so far? Is it for any of the challenges or just fun?

fabk · June 2014

I am listening toRuin and Rising. I am reading Big Girl Panties. I am enjoying the first and slogging through the second.

WillyH19 · June 2014

I'm reading The Firebird and loving it!

We are listening to Ready Player One on our road trip this weekend. I have read it, but it is new to H. I know he will love it as much as I do.

I just finished Winter's Bone (#25 for the year) and it was good. I enjoyed it more than I had anticipated.

I'm trying to decide what to start next. We leave for vacation on Wednesday and I feel like I need to be strategic with the choices I make

MrsJenE · June 2014

I've been trying to finish Ruin and Rising for a week now. I just can't seem to get into it. Its #44 for the year.

RevJen · June 2014

I'm listening to The Silkworm. I should be finishing it up next week, I think.

SnShne322 · June 2014

I'm listening to Robopocalypse and enjoying it at about 1/3 through. #49

I'm reading WIMOHB. Still not very far it. #50

booneybear · June 2014

I finished up Born to Run by Christopher McDougall last night and it was amazing!

I am currently working my way through Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. It is okay, but I am not loving it.

And I am going to start Russka by Edward Rutherfurd at lunch today.

packfan20 · June 2014

Reading The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman for IRL bookclub. So far I'm bored.

Listening to Eve by Anna Carey. I'm intrigued!

#s 70 and 71 for the year.

I have to admit that I feel ridiculous calling myself a runner after reading this book though. I am blown away by these Ultramarathoners. There is no way these people can be human. I will never bitch about a 10k ever again in my life after having read this.

ohioloveyou · June 2014

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton...sadly, I've been on this book for awhile because I just can't get super into it and my mind is on other stuff. I would love to finish this weekend!

duxcaelo · June 2014

I am reading the last book in Malazan Book of the Fallen, The Crippled God. It has been great so far and nice to see how all the nine previous books are intertwined and reaching a conclusion. It is somewhere around 80 for the year.

I also finished Shiver of Light earlier in the week, which I liked.

jenndawnp · June 2014

I'm reading Outlander, it is #82 for the year, I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm also reading The Dark Monk, it is #83 for the year and it's good.

I'm listening to The Maze Runner, it is #84 and I'm not really sure about it, I'm about to finish it up but it feels flat to me.

Ditto but it's my #21

ChristyDM82 · June 2014

I'm reading Plastic Purge: How to Use Less Plastic, Eat Better, Keep Toxins Out of Your Body, and Help Save the Sea Turtles! by Michael SanClements. It's #40 for the year. I'm only 1 chapter in so too soon to tell how I like it, but I do like the way it is written (casual, easy to understand, not overly scientific).

My original goal for the year is 40, so I'm excited I'm almost done with it halfway through the year! I had bumped it to 52 but I confident I will exceed that too.

ThisModernLove · June 2014

I'm looking for an audiobook to start.
I'm reading Push Girl by Chelsie Hill and NBC's own Jessica Love. I'm really enjoying it so far. It's number 28 for the year.

hydrangeablue · June 2014

I'm reading Longbourn and trying to finish it by Monday to count for SBC: Read a book set 100 years in the past or future.

It will be 16/30 for me. If I stay on track I might even go a few books over which would be huge for me!

BabyRN2006 · June 2014

Finished The Age Of Miracles earlier this morning. It was just okay.

Started After The End and I am enjoying it so far.

SusieBW · June 2014

I'm reading Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power. It's not as engaging as the Washington and Adams books I read were, but it's quite good. Just going a little more slowly than I might like.

I'm listening to Seige and Storm. I dislike Aleina and it makes me dislike the book a bit. She's just such an idiot, and I find myself screaming at her in the car. I don't know, maybe this series just isn't for me - you guys all seem to love it so much, I'm waiting for it to get good. I'm on disc 3 of 10, and I plan to finish it, looking for redeeming qualities about this fool, but eeesh.

These are 31 and 32 for the year. I've exceeded my soft goal of reading more than I did last year (last year was 30), so I'm satisfied. Jefferson is for the Presidential Challenge.

jkfranklin · June 2014

I'm reading A Shot of Sultry. It's #24 for the year. Loving it!

I'm listening to Outlander. I love the narrator!

caseyandlizzie · June 2014

I'm reading Noggin by John Corey Whaley and am about halfway through, and really enjoying it. I LOVE his writing style!

Also listening to Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles #2). I thought these books would be really cheesy, but I'm really enjoying them, and the narrator is great!

mrsvedo · June 2014

Still reading Written in My Own Heart's Blood. I'm about 60% of the way through. I *could* be reading faster but I'm trying to savor.

SRodi811 · June 2014

I'm almost done listening to Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover. I've really enjoyed it. I'm about to start reading Me Before You (finally...).

sweetrhythms · June 2014

I'm listening to the Goldfinch and LOVING it. Wow, Donna Tartt can write! I'm also reading John Quincy Adams for the Presidential Challenge and reading The Drums of Autumn! I have some good books going right now which is awesome because I have recently read some real clunkers.

j*&p* · June 2014

I'm listening to I am the Messenger (again) since I get to be in the actual presence of Markus Zusak at ALA this weekend. Woot!

I'm almost done with Push Girl and you guys, I knew I was going to like this book, but I was not prepared for the fact that I'd be reading at least half of it through the tears brimming up in my eyes. There are so many beautiful moments of friendship and joy in this book, and I don't want it to end. Two thumbs up, @Young_Love!

I can't help but remember this when I see the title of that book. Party on.

krispy83 · June 2014

I'm reading I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley and The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller. I'm really enjoying them both. They are 30 and 31 for the year.

One Sweet Shannon · June 2014

I'm listening to The Android's Dream by John Scalzi and narrated by Wil Wheaton. This is the third Scalzi book I've listened to (all three narrated by Wheaton) and I've been crazy for all of them. So fun!

cnthrdlywt2bwZ · June 2014

Picking my way slowly through Lonesome Dove. It is good but I'm totally fine with a few pages here and there I guess. :-/

I just started NOS4A2 and I'm enjoying it.

Listening to The Storied Life of AJ Fikry. I know it's rated somewhat highly and on a whim checked it out. The writing is well done. It's emotional and cute but not too much of either of those things. Smart and little hints of books and reader trivia here and there!

These are books 37-39. I'm hoping to make at least 50 this year; 60 would be better.

Happy Friday! What are you reading?
