What are you reading? Is it for one of the challenges? Just for fun, if someone gave you a $100 gift card that has to be spent online, what would you buy?

  • I am reading Prince Lestat by Anne Rice, Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and The Marriage Game by Alison Weir.  The Anne Rice book is awful, I still have a 100 pages and I'm determined to finish it tonight because I'm so sick of it.  The other two are pretty good.

    They are #5, 6 and 7.

    I would use a $100 gift card toward clothes.  I desperately need new clothes but we're trying to save money right now so I'm making do.

    I'm finishing The Devil You Know by Elisabeth de Mariaffi tonight. So far it's a 2.5

    Still reading The girl with all the gifts.

    Will either be starting one of my library books (The Enchanted or White Space) or The Girl on the Train tonight.

    I'm too uncomfortable with my weight right now to buy clothes, so I would probably use the $100 on books or a purse.

  • I am reading The Serpent's Kiss by Thea Harrison. Just finished In the Band by Jean Haus last night. They are #7 & 8.

    $100 would probably go to clothes. I need a serious wardrobe update. I also want/need a cold weather running jacket. I like this one.
    this is fantastic - perfect for cold weather runs and also around town. worth every penny.

    I'm reading The Dream Thieves.

    I'd spend $100 at Sephora.  I can't help it.  I'm obsessed.

     

  • I'm reading the Girl with All the Gifts.

    Listening to Maids of Misfortune. It's just an okay mystery. I can't tell if the narrator annoys me or not.

    I cannot get into a groove. The last great book I read is The Elephant Whisperer (Lawrence Anthony - see Non-fiction post for more)

    Whatever is done first will be my 3rd book.  

    If I had $100 gift card, I'd spend it on clothes/Stitchfix. Or Peapod.

  • I'm reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and 11/22/63. 

    They are #4 and 5 for the year. 

    I would likely buy clothes or shoes.

  • I'm still reading 11/22/63 and loving it.  #4

    I'm listening to The Girl with all the Gifts. #5

    I would buy wine.  There's groupon that could get me a lot with $100.  Too bad you can ship it to MA.

  • Still reading A Path Between Seas by David McCullough; The Girls by Lori Lansens; and Elizabeth I by Margaret George.

    A $100 dollar gift card doesn't go far.  But I guess I would put it toward shoes.  
    90 books in 2015?

  • I am reading a Pretty Little Liars book but I can't remember the name of it.  I am also slowly working on A Dance With Dragons.

    I would probably spend $100 on clothes for my kids.  They both are outgrowing everything right now!

  • I'm still reading The Martian and I recently started Babywise.  I'm listening to The Girl With All the Gifts.  I don't really love any of them so far, but I'm making progress!

    I would spend $100 on some new bras or comfy lounge clothes.

  • I'm slowly making my way through Prince Lestat. It seems like everyone is either beautiful, full of love, and/or weeping on every other page. I should have kept track. I used to really love Anne Rice but she makes me a little cringey now. Big sads.

    With $100 I'd like to get one of those contraptions to suspend the back wheel of my bicycle so I can ride it indoors once my foot heals.

  • I am reading the tenth Kitty Norville book by Carrie Vaughn. It is around ten for the year. Nothing special.

    I would try to score a nice pair of snow boots with the gift card!

  • I'm also reading 11/22/63. It's #4 for the year and it's also for one of those meme new year read more challenges I'm doing with my mom group.

    With $100 I would buy some Kiehl's stuff I've been coveting but can't justify spending the money on.

  • I'm about halfway through Deadline by Sandra Brown. I'm enjoying it. It's #5 for the year so I'm on track for 75 for the year.

    If I had $100 to spend I'd probably buy clothes. And a book or two haha.

  • I'm listening to Watching You by Michael Robotham and it is getting really really good!

    I'm reading The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong for fun and started Change Leader and Practicing the Art of Leadership for my grad class.  They are #10-14 for the year and most are going to fit into WBC.

    I'd spend $100 on clothes- I need to start investing in some nice suits.
