Book Club Monday

Whatcha readin'?
my read shelf:
Cathy (CathyL7910)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)

Re: Book Club Monday

  • I finally finished Alexandria this weekend.  It was a good story, but there was just too much of it.  I know that sounds odd, but it got boring in a lot of spots because it was too detailed or just a completely unnecessary side story. 

    I'm still reading The Trouble With Charlie.  It's good but I have a hard time reading anything with a ghost in it.  This book is not meant to be scary, but even Casper makes me look over my shoulder.  I just have to plan reading it for when DH is around so I'm not worried about walking into a dark room.

    I get to start something new today!  I'm really excited about that, just don't know what I'm going to start yet.  I have a a lot on my kindle.

  • I finished ANAGRAMS by Lorrie Moore this weekend. It was the kind of thing I could tell was really good, but I can't say I enjoyed it. I just never got in to it. 

    Next up is THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS.

  • I finished A Wrinkle in Time this weekend and I think that it was better when I was a kid and reading it than now. 

    I started reading The Silver Linings Playbook.  I am only a chapter in and I like it so far.

  • Almost done Lover Revealed - JD Ward.  Then onto Hopeless - Colleen Hoover, since is highly recommended on NBC.  Can't wait!

    Almost done listening to Ender's Shadow - Orsen Scott Card.  Loving the different POV of Ender's Games.  Then I'm listening to Requiem - Lauren Oliver Book #3 for Deliruim. I was eh about the second book, so I don't have high expectations.

    I lent Requiem to a coworker.  This is how she returned it:

  •  This week i finished The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch and i really liked it! I've borrowed the second one, but i haven't started yet. I've been in a Rizzoli & Isles reading frenzy. This week I read Body Double, Vanish,  and The Mephisto Club, all by Tess Gerritsen. I'm currently reading The Keepsake (same series) and have the next two ready on my kindle! Thanks, mana, for getting me addicted!! Lol

  • I finished The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards By Kristopher Jansma this weekend, it was pretty good. I wasn't in love with the narrator, he was a bit hard to follow at times, but the story was good.

    I am about half way through Insurgent by Veronica Roth right now. I kind of wish I would have waited until fall to start because I know I will want to go right into the third. Such a FWP...

  • Seipel - I heard that too!  Like I said, I was disappointed in the second book, but I can't not finish. I'll probably watch TV Show.

    xxJen - I laugh everytime I see your updates on goodreads and it's another R&I book!   I KNOW, I actually bought Hopeless because of all the people obsessed with it on NBC.  I never buy books, but it wasn't in the library and I felt like I NEED to read this.  Is it going to suck me in like Beautiful Disaster?  That was a book binge for me!

    Will - 176 more days until Alligiant!!!!

    The TV show sounds strange.  From what I've read the pilot is supposed to be the entire first book.  Also there is supposed to be a Hannah/Julian love interest, because they are supposed to be neighbors in the TV series.  I don't know how I feel about it but I'll definitely watch a few episodes and give it a chance.

     Also, can't wait for Allegaint!  I've been reading (stalking) updates on the movie.  I saw pictures from the knife throwing scene!!! Yes

  • xxJen - OK, I'll prepare for book binge.  I have like 50 more pages of Lover Revealed.  I really want to get Walking Disaster soon too, but my goal is to start A Dance with Dragons (Game of Thrones) this month so I can finish a darn series, or at least the books that are out!

    WHAT!?  The pilot = the first book?!  Are they focusing on the rebellion?! 

    *headdesk*  I'll still give it a try, but the first book was the best...

    I saw that tooo!  Wasn't Tris blonde?  I'm having a hard time seeing her as brunett... I always thought it was like mousey and dull.

    Let me know when you finish it!! :) I'm excited to have someone else read it, not a lot of people have despite the fact that I tell everyone to read it! haha

    Even though H hasn't read the book, he was surprised when I told him I knew which scene that was a picture of. I was like, do you really think there are a lot of scenes where they're throwing knives at the girl?! But Mana, I think you're right, I think Tris was blonde in the books.

    I'm hoping they do a good job with the movie! The director hasn't done a lot, the only movie I've seen of his was The Illusionist, but I liked it. The cast is a fair mix of well known and totally unexperienced. As much as I love Secret Life...not going to lie I'm nervous about Shailene Woodley...she's never given a great, convincing performance. That being said, I've never seen her in anything else!

    Yes, Tris is blonde, but I saw pictures of Shailene with blond-ish hair.  I think she highlighted it a bit. Ive never seen her in anything other than The Secret Life either. The acting was just terrible all the way around in that show!! I haven't seen it, but I guess she was really good in The Decendants. I have really high expectations for the movies because I love this series sooooo much!! If this movie sucks I might cry.

  • I finished Silver Linings Playbook and now I might read Game of Thrones. Havent decided yet.
