Tolkein (audible) https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355996658l/17157903.jpg The Witches by Roald Dahl - This wasn't my fave Dahl...the kids didn't like it much either https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1172379938l/170668.jpg The Thickety by J.A. White - this is middle grade fantasy and I super enjoyed it..it's pretty dark though so I'd say only for mature middle graders. Great story. https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1396050002l/18651970.jpg The Thickety: The Whispering Trees by J.A. White - had to pick this one up after finishing the first and I liked it even better...sadly the 3rd in the series is not out yet https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1406912436l/22583008.jpg What are you reading right now?

I love this thread because I'm always adding your finished books to my wish list!!
First off was Shingaling: A Wonder Story which I adored!! I thought there would be more of Auggie (which is why I got it) but I liked the cute story anyway. Faith (my youngest) has started it. I also finished We Were Liars . Didn't even see the twist at the end coming at all. When You Reach Me was a fun read. I think my youngest would like it. It took me a while to figure out the plot! Fun story. I love, love, love The Longest Ride . I need to watch the movie now!!! I need more stories like this. I am currently reading Crossed but am losing steam. I'm hoping something good happens soon before I put it down. Elyse keeps telling me to finish it! |
Oh Kjersti, I loved the Longest Ride, too. I can't wait for the movie to come to Netflix!
I just finished reading [Sic] by Scott Kelly. It was a quick, easy read. Different. Enjoyable. But not the best book I've ever read. I'd say 3 stars. https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1389324988l/20502736.jpg I just started the Selection series last night, and I"m already 1/2 way through the first book. Super easy to read and entertaining. The description described it as a cross between Hunger Games & The Bachelor, and I'd say that's pretty accurate!. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1322103400l/10507293.jpg |
Libby - You'll be done with the Selection Series by the end of the week. Those were so fun to read!! Chloe can eat cereal for dinner right? You'll be too busy reading :D
I still haven't read book 4 (The Heir) so if you get to it first let us all know what you think! |

I'm in a reading slump... having read several in a row that just completely failed to draw me in.
Recently Read : with my 9yr old son... the 3rd in the series and our least favorite so far. https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328867540l/106129.jpg it took me a month to get through this... not sure why, didn't connect with the characters and was able to guess the twist in the storyline too early on. https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1356452218l/1278752.jpg the writing here is pretty decent... although found the plot and characters rather under developed. an overall meh. https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1404618593l/21853637.jpg I really enjoyed the writing in this one and liked the author's approach to this genre. by the end I was slightly frustrated as it left me with a lot of unanswered questions. https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1415583784l/20170404.jpg currently reading : I've been trying to get through this one for a month. I'm not loving any of the characters that much and have been pretty turned off by all the animal abuse/violence towards animals. am about 70% through it, not sure i'll finish... https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1404582050l/43641.jpg https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1427740839l/448873.jpg https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342944438l/13455553.jpg |
