Re: What are you reading?
The last thing I read was a Dog's journey: also a sequel. I liked the first much better. This one was just too sad at times! It took me a long time to read it.
Best book : a dog's purpose (first book to the one above) loved it!
Next: not sure! I have an obscene amount of ebooks that I haven't read yet. I've been in a reading slump. I did put a few ebooks on hold too. I was thinking of trying to finish Outlander. I know the series is loved and now they are starting the show. I tried reading it 4 years ago and stopped. I just was looking through a synopsis last night thinking I may try starting off where I left off. I wanted to like it but it wasn't doing much for me. But sometimes I have better luck with books at different times.
I just loved that book so much! It really had every emotion!! So heartwarming and heartbreaking. One of my all time favorite books. And I would hug my dog through it too!
Did you read the next one? I really wanted to love it but there wasn't as many happy parts as the first one so I found it so hard to read. I had to stop reading it for months!
What is the last thing you read?
"Gone Girl" I didn't actually finish it though. I read about 2-3 chapters and then talked to a friend who recommended it. I said, "Let me guess--this is what happens." Well I was right--it kind of ruins a mystery when you figure it out, so I turned it back in.
Best book you've read this year?
Nothing I am really fired up about, I read lots of fun stuff but I wouldn't say any of it was really great.
What are you planning on reading next?
Donna Tartt's "Goldfinch" her book "The Secret History" is one of my all time favorite books. If you have never read The Secret History, I HIGHLY recommend it. I use to assign it in a class and I have students email me out of the blue all the time thanking me for having them read it. The first 200 pages is a little hard to get through but then it really takes off and it is hard to but down. It is long like 600-800 pages.
So glad someone else has had the "Outlander" problem, everyone I know loves it and I have been trying to trudge though it for 8 years! I am not a freak!
Recommend it? So far so good. It's about an actress who basically gets conned into marrying a famous movie star who has been plagued by rumors that he's gay despite his playboy reputation. In short, it's my theory about George Clooney in book form.
What is the last thing you read? A biography of Kate Middleton. I love her and it was a very quick read for me.
Best book you've read this year? I don't know that I have one. I've been having a pretty bad book slump lately. I guess The Collector by Nora Roberts. It wasn't spectacular, but it was good and more than I can say about a lot of what I've read this year.
What are you planning on reading next? Not sure. I have a long list of books to read and need to start getting some on hold at the library. I am anxiously awaiting the newest Susan Elizabeth Phillips due out at the end of the month.
What is the last thing you read? I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends by Courtney Robertson (where are my bachelor girls???) Loved it, if you're a fan of the franchise, I would recommend it....it was an easy and entertaining read.
Best book you've read this year? hmmm....I liked and the mountains echoed and the husband's secret. Oh and "me before you" by JoJo Moyes was fantastic.
What are you planning on reading next? The Vacationers by Emma Straub
Jake - 1.15.08
Liam - 5.17.11
What is the last thing you read? A Game of Thrones. I was in the middle of The Goldfinch and Cuckoo's Calling when I had to return the e-books, so I'm back on the wait list to finish them. I was really enjoying Goldfinch. I also want to read And the Mountains Echoed.
Best book you've read this year? I've only read a few books, so I don't have a "best" yet.
What are you planning on reading next? Fodors Alaska and Vancouver books, as well as A Storm of Swords.
I am finally getting to The Night Circus after having it on my nook for at least two years. Since I own it, I always seemed to put it aside for library books. It's great so far.
What is the last thing you read?
If I Stay by Gayle Forman. Doubt I will see the movie but it's not a bad, quick read.
Best book you've read this year?
Me Before You and One Plus One, both by Jo Jo Moyes, Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese, and Tell The Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt.
What are you planning on reading next?
Orphan Train (I'm #1 on the library waiting list!) I also have holds on Where She Went (follow up with If I Stay), The Rosie Project, and Big Little Lies (by the author of The Husband's Secret). I may also check out the Flavia Luce series though I admit I am not big on mysteries.
I spend too much time watching TV and on the computer and not enough time reading. That means I only get to books when on vacation.
I've been working on To Kill a Mockingbird for a few months. I like it a lot so far and should be able to finish it when I go on another vacation next month.
The last book I read was Catcher in the Rye. It was OK but not as good as a I thought it would be.
When DH and I got married I discovered he had some classics that I never got around to reading so now I am working my way through them.
What is the last thing you read? Darkplaces by Gillian Flynn
Best book you've read this year? Definitely Me Before You. I loved it so, so much. Darkplaces was also a good one. I also liked The Comfort of Lies by Randy Susan Meyers.
What are you planning on reading next? If I like the Jonas Saul, then I also have books 2-4 on my kindle as well. (Thank goodness for Book Bub and their free book listings!)
