    I started reading The Beautiful Ashes by Jeaniene Frost a few weeks ago and I couldn't make myself pick it up this weekend.  It isn't doing anything for me.

    I finished The Best Man by Kristan Higgins and Gentleman of Her Dreams by Jen Turano.  I got about 35% through The Memory Keeper's Daughter for IRL book club and I wish I could neglect it.  Not liking it.

    I want you to finish it because I want to talk to someone about it, but I totally get not wanting to pick it up.

    I will finish it eventually. I could just sit down with it I could probably finish what I have left in one sitting.  I just have to do it.  I hate feeling this way about a book.

    I made some progress on The Clockwork Scarab, I meant to finish it but I wanted to get cleaning done more since I'd been slacking on that.

    I started Isla and the Happily Ever After.  Not too far into it, I slacked off on my reading this weekend.

    I finished The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I very much liked this book! So well written. The characters were not especially likable, but the plot was intriguing.

    Of course I flew through my romance novel about Highlanders and completely neglected my non-fiction book about women in developing countries...

    I finished Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng and One Kick by Chelsea Cain.  I started Reality Strikes Back (a feminist book about reality tv that is really good so far)

    DH finally, FINALLY, bought himself a Kindle. I can finally use mine in peace. I downloaded my Harry Potter books to his so now we're rereading the series together on our separate Kindles.

    We're at 50% through HP and the SS. I had to start over but it's worth it because it's been fun reading together!

    @packfan20 I hated The Memory Keeper's Daughter. It dragged.

    This was a weekend that I feel like I had extra time. I finished BDB Insiders Guide and Origins. I also listened to a lot of Voyager due to my 2 hours in the car on Saturday.

    I finished Trying Texas by Tera Lynn Childs on Saturday and loved it. 

    Then I read some more of The Firebird and a wee bit of Heir of Fire. I might be the only one on this, but whenever the book (Firebird) goes to Slains castle I get so bored. I'm not sure what it is, but I didn't like it in the Winter Sea and I don't like it coming up again. Maybe I'm just grouchy and PMSing, but I much prefer being in the present with Rob and Nicola in this one.
