Whatcha reading?

Book worms, what are you starting the new years reading?

I'm almost done listening to Savor the Moment - Nora Roberts' Bride Quartet #3.  Really cute easy reads! 

I'm in the middle of Feast for Crows - George RR Martin (Game of Thrones #4), then Bitten - Kelley Armstong became available at the eLibrary.  Now I have two other available to get.   AH!  Wish I could read instead of work...

  • I got a Nook for Christmas for DH and a $40 GC to go with it from MIL so I have been buying books left and right!!

    Anyways, I just finished Hopeless by Colleen Hoover which was really good and now I am on to The Coincedence of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen. 

    Julie - I LOVED the Hunger Game series.  I want to start reading the Divergent series soon.

    my read shelf:
    Cathy (CathyL7910)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • I am CRAWLING through The Paris Wife. I keep thinking about quitting it, but wanting to give it more of a shot in case it gets good. I'm probably being silly and should just give up. How far do you ladies feel you have to get in to a book before you can quit it?

  • I finished the Hunger Games series a few months ago and loved it!

    I just finished Michael J Fox's book "Always Looking Up"...it was excellent! I'm a neuroscientist and do research related to Parkinson's disease, so it was interesting to read his perspective on the disease and on stem cell research.

    I just started "Do Life" by Ben Davis. I've been reading his blog for a few years now and he just came out with his book. He lost 120 pound through running and a lifestyle change. I'm a runner, and the first time I watched his You Tube video I cried! It's so inspiring! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbXgQqbOoU&nbsp;

     I say about a third of the way through.  If a book doesn't catch me, I have a really hard time getting through it.  It happened with The Help.  I tried to read it, but I could not get into it so I stopped.

  • I'm currently reading Shirley by Charlotte Bronte. I have a thing for reading the classics. I bought myself a kobo e-reader with giftcards from my bridal shower so I too have been getting books right left and centre. I just downloaded the Hunger Games trilogy, I plan to read those next!

    i always finish all books, i always hope they will get better sometimes it takes forever!!! lol i really should just give up sometimes!!! i just started reading Gone Girl , by Gillian Flynn

    so far so good < the book comes highly recommended from a few people>

    I have been reading Mockingjay for what seems like FOREVER.  I loved the 1st book...I could not put it down...2nd book was meh, it was just alright but not terrible.  For some reason though I just cannot get into the 3rd one.  I'm almost 70% of the way through it and it seems like NOTHING has happened.  So far, it sucks.  It's really annoying.  I just wanna finish the book and get it over with but so far it's been hard to get into and get excited to read it.  I hope it picks up.  It's taking a really long time.  Lol.

     Cathy, I had a hard time reading the Help until about 40% in.  I thought it was because it was the first book I read on the Kindle.  It ended up getting really good.  It took about 6 or 8 months to read the first 40% and about 2 days to read the remainder.

     

    I am into teen lit because I hated reading when I was a teenager.  I am currently reading Lauren Conrad's newest book, Starstruck.  This series is a spin off of her last and I don't like it as much.  We'll see.

    I just finished "Over You," written by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus (they wrote "The Nanny Diaries").  It was cute.  I liked their sequel to "The Nanny Diaries" better and their other book "Dedication."

     I have been reading "Mini-Shopaholic" for a while, over a year.  It's so repetitive from the other Shopaholics so I don't love it.  I just want to get through it.

    I am also reading "The Money Class" and "Women and Money" by Suze Orman.

    I recommend the Crossfire Series by Sylvia Day if you liked Fifty Shades.  The first book is similar to Fifty, but the second was much better.  There's a third book coming out in May.  I also LOVE Lauren Weisberger.  She is writing a sequel to "The Devil Wears Prada" which will be out in the spring also.

  • In the past week I've read Three Girls and a Baby by Rachel Schurig (it was short and just okay), The Postmistress by Sarah Blake, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. (I got a Kindle for Christmas...can you tell?!) Just before that I read 11/22/63 by Stephen King, which was really good. 

    I'm currently reading The Next Always: Inn Boonsboro Trilogy by Nora Roberts (I read the bride quartet and so I thought I'd give these a whirl! I like it so far, but I'm only about 20% in). 

    I have Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and The Help checked out on my Kindle for once I finish this book. I'm also on the waiting list for Gone Girl.

    I felt the same way.  The sequels didn't hold up to the original.   I was really disappointed in them

     

    I am currently reading The Discovery of Witches. I am just Meh about it right now but I think it is begininning to pick up.   

    I have made it my goal for the year to read 50 books.  I am glad we have continued to do this because I love all the book suggestions!

    I've been reading like crazy the last few weeks because I'm not in school and I've finished Spin, Arranged and Forgotten, all by Catherine McKenzie. I think she may be my new favorite author!
