Ok, so seriously...
...what's everyone reading?
Give me your current line-up! What are you... Reading Now: Going to read Next: Next: Next: I'm reading Game of Thrones, and I am lovin' it. That said, I'm only getting close to the end of book one and I feel at how HUGE these books are. I honestly think it's the largest series that I've tried to tackle. I attempted the Outlander books but got bored in Book #2. I dont think that's going to happen here, but you never know. So, what's on your current and upcoming reading lists? R

I started the invisible bridge in december but I had to stop because I had been on a WWII reading frenzy and it was starting to depress me a touch so I haven't been reading anything.
A kate morton book came available for me (I was on the waiting list) during the holidays but I missed out so had to get back in line... Reading: nothing Going to read next: whatever comes available for me on my hold list at the library |

Just finished: Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling

Jenn, when I first read your currently reading title, I sorta maybe might have left the L out it initially. I did a total double-take there for a moment and thought you were more scandalous than I originally thought.
How was Casual Vacancy? I read the cover and it sounded kinda dull compared to what we know of JK so I didn't know what to think!

Misty! I love that you have books you're reading with your kids. Do you actually sit down and read WITH them aloud or are you guys just reading the same book at the same time to yourselves and then discussing it? I'd love to start doing this with my oldest even though my youngest probably needs it more because he hates reading.

I'm in a reading slump so this thread is perfect!
I loved Game of Thrones but stopped reading them because, ironically, it was ruining the TV series for me! |

|

LOL Dawn, I am worried about that too, but the books are sooo good that its been really enjoyable to be reading the stories and details that I missed watching the show.

LOVE this thread!!
I just finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King which was AMAZING. So, right now, I'm sorta ruined for other books. I don't even want to start another cause I'm still hung up on that one. I've got so many books stored up on my Kindle that I want to read though. The Stand by Stephen King Reached by Allie Condie True Colors Kristin Hannah Those will probably be my next 3 - maybe not in that order. |

Reading Now: Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn, a new Star Wars Novel
Going to read Next: Death Takes a Cut by Janice Hamrick Next: Not sure, I went 12-15 years without reading any Star Wars books & I'm really liking Scoundrels, it's reminded me what I liked about them, so I'm dithering about going back & reading some of the ones I have missed but they are so hit or miss with quality & plot because they have so many authors I haven't made up my mind. I suppose I'll see what catches my eye at the library on Thursday. |
#23

|

I'm in a book slump too.
I FINALLY got A Discovery of Witches from the library after the waiting list was 200 people long and I haven't had time to read it much so it's about to expire. So I might not try for it again. I've got 2 Susanna Kearsley books waiting but I was wanting something different first. I'm no help. I'll respond again when I'm actually back in the swing. |
#24
|
||||
|
||||
I am reading The Next Best Thing: A Novel by Jennifer Weiner
I bought Baby Proof by Emily Giffin to read next and I keep adding books from these list to my wishlist LOL |
#25
|
||||
|
||||
Reading Now: Danielle LaPorte's "The Firestarter Sessions"--it is AWEZOME.
Going to read Next: Thinking of continuing with my fiction streak of another Susanna Kearsley novel (Rose Garden) OR reeading Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series Next: Uuuuum, Foundation #2 Next: Foundation #3 |
#26
|

I like to read books in a series back to back, so right now it's all James Dashner.
I finished The Maze Runner (#1) this morning Started The Scorch Trials (#2) this evening Next I'll read book #3 and then the prequel. I already have both of them downloaded from the library.

#33

I don't actually have a list...till now I haven't read anything since summer! I started Hopeless at Laura's recommendation and I'm almost done! Loving it. I am definitely going to have to find something else to get into next...hopefully a good series.

Atlas Shrugged is a good book, have you read it before? Have you read anything else from her? I think The Fountainhead was my favorite

Reading Now: I just finished The Eyre Affair: A Thursday Next Novel by Jasper Fforde
It was fun, an odd mix of literary sci-fi/fantasy fluff. Going to read Next: 11/22/63 by Stephen King I'm not sure after that. I could go on and on commenting on books but I'll spare you all. :P

Penny - I've heard the same thing about Outlander book 3 but I think I may have grown out of the series in my heart, so I dont know if I'll go back. Darcy/Lydia - I LOVED the Book Thief. It's been awhile since I read it, but yeah, I really really enjoyed it! Loved The Maze Runner, read it a few years back when it was the only book in the series out. Still havent started (or finished) the other books in the series but I am bad about that. I havent finished the Hunger Games series either.

I just finished the first two in a series by L L Bartlett. The Jeff Resnick Mysteries. He recently suffered a head trauma and now has flashes of visions. Liked them both.
Not sure what is next. Probably something already on my kindle. I am thinking Executive Privilege by Philip Margolin.

Keely - I love Jasper Fforde!! The whole Thursday Next series is so good and the Nursery Crimes one is a lot of fun, even if I did miss some of the allusions, like the guy who snips off kids' thumbs for sucking on them.
Wolf Hall & Bring Up the Bodies were wonderful. I'm eagerly looking forward to the last book even though I know Cromwell comes to an unfortunate end. Never thought I could find him a likeable character. |

I was actually disappointed with The Night Circus. I had heard a really interesting review on NPR so I was excited to read it. I think what bothered me the most was the switching back and forth between time frames. A little bit is good but I kept having to flip back to figure out where I was.
Currently reading Susanna Kearsley's Shadowy Horses. I absolutely inhaled her other books but I'm not as captivated with this one. It might just be that life is a little crazy right now . Not sure what I'll read next. I have 50 or more books on my Kindle that I haven't read. I did put The Book Thief on my To Read list at Good Reads. Sounds awesome!

LOL I'm also reading G.R.R.Martin. Finished Game of Thrones yesterday and started Clash of Kings.
I enjoy the Medieval England feel of it a lot. I admit I was scared of the length myself - because I was afraid it was one of those endless(ly boring) sagas that are typical for some bad fantasy authors. I'm happy to say my fears were not grounded. So far. :-) Let's see how I like the other parts.

I think you either love The Night Circus or you hate it. I loved it...I thought the imagery was just beautiful and worth reading for that alone. It took me a few chapters to really get into it but once I did I raced through the rest.
Game of Thrones is one of my top 5 series ever. Martin just absolutely amazes me with the world he created. I mean..it's just incredible with the number of characters and plotlines. And FYI...don't get discouraged with Book 4 - A Feast for Crows...A Dance with Dragons more than makes up for any lagging in Book 4.
