What are you reading?

I just finished Pride of Lions. It's a historical romance about 1745 Scotland/England.

kelshaws1311 · August 2015

I am 50% through The Nightingale I am hoping to push through to finish this weekend but we are busy so it is doubtful.

angelashly · August 2015

Still working on The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. it is my kindle/work book and I haven't really taken a lunch break this week.

Started P.S. I still Love you last night and got to page 80. It is cute, but not as cute as the first so far.

I also have The Nightingale in my bag to maybe start today.

I just finished The Intercept by Dick Wolf (of Law & Order fame). It was good! It was a really political, terrorism driven mystery/crime/suspense novel. And the first in a series with this same protagonist.

I just started My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick, which I think was a rec from you all. So far so good, but I'm only like 10% into it.

Still listening to Dead Wake by Erik Larsson, which is fantastic.

I'm reading 'The Sisters of Versailles' and it's okay. It is #63 for the year.

I loved this book. I have the sequel to that on hold at the library to pick up tonight.

Just got an email that The Raven Boys is ready to pick up. So many books and a busy weekend ahead

duxcaelo · August 2015

I am between books at the moment. I've been thinking about finishing up the Night Huntress series.

sassypants527 · August 2015

I just started Primates of Park Avenue by Wednesday Martin, and by started I mean I think I've read two paragraphs.

I'm all over the place right now.
I'm reading An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir and also a book of short stories called Jagganath by a Swedish author, Karin Tidbeck. I discovered Jagganath on Chuck Wendig's blog in a post where he asked his readers to recommend their favorite off the radar books. If you like short stories, this is one of the best, most inventive collections I've ever read. It has the whimsey of Neil Gaiman, but with less horror and more poignancy. I really hope she has other novels and stories translated to English because I plan to ready anything else of hers I can get my hands on afterward. An Ember in the Ashes is pretty good too, though I'm getting a little burnt out on YA fantasy with kingdoms and such.

I'm also still listening to Armada and I am Malala. Armada has picked up a LOT since I last posted and I'm really enjoying it now that we're out of far-fetched backstory land. I am Malala is both wonderful and eye-openingly scary. I admire the heck out of that girl, who can stand up for girls' right to education even though she could easily pay for it with her life in the turbulent political climate of Pakistan.

And Diviners #2 (Lair of Dreams) is coming out next week! Anybody else planning on reading it? I need more Libba Bray in my life and I can't wait for Tuesday.

Ooh, yes. I'm a little over halfway and it's getting so good.

@angelashly, what do you think so far? I thought the very beginning was a little slow, but loved the rest, though Naughty John scared the bejesus out of me.
