What's the last book you finished?
This week I finished:
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18043253-code-name-verity)
https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1379951084l/18043253.jpg

This is YA historical fiction and I gave it 4 stars...really really good.

Then DH and I had to go out of town overnight and I picked up this book at Target:
The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22318487-the-winter-people)
https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1418772115l/22318487.jpg

Such a creepy read and I pretty much devoured it in 2 sittings. It wasn't an amazing work of fiction but it good.

What are you reading right now?

I am nearly at the half way mark with The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17220138-the-wise-man-s-fear)and I'm still loving it.

https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327903636l/21787.jpg

and I'm about half-way through with Dark Places by Gillian Flynn (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6569735-dark-places)
https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1370197782l/6569735.jpg

What's on your TBR for the weekend and next week?

I am just crossing my fingers the next book comes out this year because I don't know if I can wait that long...there is a novella that was published in Jan..which is all about Auri's story I think...

The Slow Regard of Silent Things (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21535271-the-slowegard-of-silent-things?from_search=true)

I finally finally finished the North and South trilogy and am now reading Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.

It's not a very long book, so I should have it finished pretty soon. It is the first in a trilogy, but I'm not sure if I'll read the rest of the trilogy right away or do something else first. I am really really enjoying it, though. It's my kind of book.

I finished The Longest Ride (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18108211-the-longestide) last week. It was just a good, sweet, mindless story. I really enjoyed it. I needed something easy like that after the last couple I'd read.

https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1371835058l/18108211.jpg

I'm now reading The Chronothon (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23665466-the-chronothon) which is a sequel to In Times Like These (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18653188-in-times-like-these) which I read last year. It's very entertaining if you're into time travel novels (which I am. LOL)

https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1417623341l/23665466.jpg

Haven't decided for sure what I'll read next, but I'm thinking maybe I'll read the autobiography of Frank Abagnale (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/375789.Catch_Me_If_You_Can) (the man that the movie Catch Me If You Can is based on). It's been on my kindle forever, and I just saw the movie again last week. So, I think it would be an interesting read.

https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388206735l/375789.jpg

I may change my mind though. I've got hundreds of books on my "to read soon" shelf, so I'll just see what floats my boat when I finish the Chronothon.

I JUST finished Volition by Lily Paradis (http://www.amazon.com/Volition-Lily-Paradis-ebook/dp/B00QCSU4VE/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1424743100&sr=1-1&keywords=volition+lily+paradis).

What are you reading right now?
I'm going to start By Any Other Name by JM Darhower (http://www.amazon.com/Any-Other-Name-Forbidden-Book-ebook/dp/B00THPZHVQ/ref=sr_1_11?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1424743128&sr=1-11&keywords=jm+darhower) (I would read the phone book if she wrote it).

What's on your TBR for the weekend and next week?
My TBR is neverending. LOL It changes what's next daily

I finished Game of Thrones: A Song of Fire and Ice about two weeks ago.

I am in the middle of reading/listening The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, The Woman Who Died A Lot by Jasper Fforde and two cookbooks I picked up at Sam's Club plus a Jacques Pepin's New Techniques.

I will probably try and read one of my Maddy Hunter Mystery books, either Bonnie of Evidence or Fleur de Lies. And I will probably listening to one of the non-fiction books I snag on audible.

Finished reading Gilead (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000O76NMS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425169242&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=gilead) this week (loved it!) and then blew through The Kite Runner (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000OCXGZA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425169498&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=kite+runner). I know I'm really late to the game on that one, but that's just how things have gone. I'm glad I finally got to it, cause I loved it.

I'm starting Jayber Crow (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003SNIZV2/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&sr=8-1&qid=1425169617) tonight, which is a book my dad recommended, and I always like his taste in books, so I'm looking forward to it.
