Re: Happy Friday! What are you reading?

  • I'm reading Daughter of Smoke & Bone and listening to Anna and the French Kiss. I'm enjoying both. I can't wait to find out what happens in Daughter of Smoke & Bone!  

    These are #45 and 46 for the year.

  • I am finishing up Throne of Glass and listening to To Kill a Mockingbird. I am liking them both. This is #36 & #37.
  • Finishing up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

    Not sure what is next.  Probably either The Martian or The Raven Boys.  Sounds like I can't go wrong with either choice!

  • I'm reading Will Grayson/Will Grayson. I like it but I just hit a point where the story is different than I thought it was and I feel stupid for not realizing it! It's #40 for the year.

    I'm also listening to Voyager (reread).

  • I finished up the Mortal Instruments series last night.  

    Now I think I am going to start Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline.  I was picked by my IRL book club for this month so I should get started on it. 

    I am also going to start Ghost Story by Peter Straub today.

    and I am going to pick back up on Drums of Autumn 

    These are books 97 through 99 for the year.
    90 books in 2015?

  • I am reading Nicolae by Tim F. LaHaye. It is #3 in the Left Behind series. I am liking it so far. It will be #108 for the year. After that, I think I am going to take a break from the series and read The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. A coworker lent it to me.

  • I'm fiiiiiinally reading Graceling. I'm not very far in--only a few chapters--but I love it.

    I wrote this! 
  • I'm reading Game of Thrones. I should finish up soon, so hopefully one of my library reserves comes in!
  • I'm doing an Outlander re-read right now. 

     

  • I picked up The Firebird by Susanna Kearsley again now that I've finished Heir of Fire. I like it well enough, but the historical parts drag for me. 

    I'm re-listening to The Dream Thieves. Is it October 21st yet? I need Blue Lily, Lily Blue to be out now.

  • I reading "A Sudden Light" by Garth Stein. So far so good! It's a little bit of a ghost story, so it is fitting in to October great!

  • I am listening to Before Green Gables
    and reading Fallen by Christina Skye but should be finished it in about 5 mins.
  • I'm in a little slump. The only thing I'm actively reading (because I'm listening) is The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. It is fantastic. I'm not quite halfway through and it is by far one of the best books I've ever read. Subject matter is tough but the writing is beautiful.

    I've had The Martian on my nightstand for the past few weeks and haven't even touched it. :(

    @booneybear I really liked this book but I didn't really see how it would be great for a discussion (though it's on book club lists all over).  I'm interested to hear how it goes.

  • Just finished up a reread of HP and the CoS. It was #33 for the year. I'll eventually start PoA but I have to take a break for a few weeks to study.  :((

  • I am still plowing through Edge of Eternity by Ken Follett. I have about 250 pages to go, and I think it is #35 for the year. I am really enjoying it, but I am anxious to be done so that I can start on House of Leaves and The Green Mile! Hoping to have it finished by Monday.

  • I just started listening to The Raven Boys (I read it awhile back) and I'm not sure of the narrator yet but I love the story.

    I'm reading The Age of Miracles and A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines and both are good.
