Happy Friday! What are you reading? (4/18/14)

[christy082]

How do you like it?

[christy082]

Last night I just started reading Cascade by Lisa Tawn Bergren. Too soon to tell how I like it.

[charlatti]

Haunted Ground by Erin Hart. It's just ok so far, but easy to read during a busy weekend.

[So_Fetch]

An Abundance of Katherines - John Green. Too soon to tell.

[itsme]

Under the Dome by Stephen King. It started off great but I think I'm in the middle now and it's slowed a bit but it's still good.

Sycamore Row by John Grisham - I just started it last night so I'm only a few pages in. Seems good but some reviews I read said it was dull. Grisham's last few books have been pretty dull.

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn - I am on page one.  Have no opinion yet.

[Pippin]

I'm almost done with The Forever Song by Julie Kagawa. I love it but its pretty clear it'll have a sad ending D:

The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polyamous Cult Leaders to Justice by Rebecca Musser.

Only about 30 pages in, but I'm liking it thus far. I have a "thing" for these kind of books.

[kiminky]

The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri. It isn't face paced by any means, even though it spans the characters' lives.

Next up, Same Sun Here by Silas House.

[slajeunesse]

The giver. I like it so far. I have to read it before it goes to the theaters.

Me too.  I've read a few.

I just finished Vampire Academy before bed last night, so I have to start a new one. I might do Lean In or another non-fic.

[nolagal]

I just finished the Divergent series. I'm disappointed, as was expected...
but not necessarily for the same reasons as others had predicted. I started becoming irritated in Book 2.

Now I've started Born to Run, which is awesome and intriguing so far. I needed a change from YA.

An Abundance of Katherines. I needed something fast and light to read and this certainly fits the bill. I'm not quite sure if I actually like it, however.

A Constellation of Vital Phenomena is my next read. I also picked up Wifey (this month's book club book) this week.

[BlackCanary]

A Storm of Swords by George. R.R. Martin

[ally]

I was annoyed with my last book club read, so I went with easy.  The Third Rule of Ten, by Gay Hendricks & Tinker Lindsay, (obviously) the third in the series.  Quick, detective story, and just fun to read.

I haven't been reading much this month (so I haven't been on this board much) because I'm taking a photography class. Most of my reading has been either trashy romances or photography articles, and at least twice a week, I'm out taking photos.

Hoping I can pick back up more in May!

I cracked Wifey a few days ago but have managed to not read any more that the foreword by Judy Blume (apparently I have a re-released version)

Well, now I'm curious: what was the annoying book?

[Mrs.Rad888]

I just recently finished both The Returned by Jason Mott and The Book of Someday by Dianne Dixon. I really liked both of them. I think about them both even after finishing them and starting another.

I am just about done with Freakonomics. It's really interesting, but I don't know that I've learned anything I can actually use.

ETA: I'm still working my way through the credit I got from B&N from their lawsuit settlement. I ended up with about $76.00. Did anyone else get anything from either B&N or Amazon?

I got $0.73 from Amazon, lol.

Pride & Prejudice. I know it is a classic, but I just did not enjoy it. I love my IRL book club, but more often than not I barely enjoy our book choices. I stick with it because I enjoy the people in the group and like the push to read outside my "comfort zone".

I just finished Tell the Wolves I'm Home. Highly recommended. I read it during my train commute over the past week and had to stop reading numerous times because I got too emotional. And I'm not usually one for books that garner that kind of a response (I'm more likely to read Stephen King). Anyway, it was very good.
