Another Friday, What Are You Reading? (5/15)

[dorothyinAus]

Are you enjoying it?

QOTW:  In your opinion, what is the best book to film (either movie or tv) adaptation you've seen?

[Pippin]

I'm reading The Sundered by Ruthanne Reid. It's good so far. I needed a lighter read lately.

QOTW: I thought that Cloud Atlas was an amazing book to movie adaptation especially considering the complicated story line. I also think Memoirs of a Geisha, Stardust and Practical Magic are really good adaptions.

[msmerymac]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

QOTW: Well, my favorite is Sense and Sensibility (the Emma Thompson version).

Reading In The Woods by Tana French. It hasn't grabbed me yet.

[rootbeerfloat]

Also reading HP&OOTP.

[BlackCanary]

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett 

[charlatti]

The Book of Speculation by Erika Swyler. It's quite enjoyable. The blurbs have lots of comparisons to The Night Circus, but it's really nothing like that.

QOTW: another vote for Sense and Sensibility

(R)evolution by PJ Manney. It's one of May's kindle firsts and I'm really enjoying it.

I started and finished Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller (had jury duty so got a lot of reading done!). It was good.

Now I'm listening to The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, which I'm really enjoying so far.

[marigoldgirl]

I just finished A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I really liked it. I will finish listening to The Goldfinch next weekend because I have a long car trip planned. I have liked what I have listened to so far.

[tcu2003]

I just finished The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley, and just started Paycheck for Life by Charles Epstein. I'm obviously on a personal finance kick right now.

[dorothyinAus]

I'm reading A Little Princess. I'm really not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I loved The Secret Garden, but this one just isn't grabbing me. The best part of it for me is my copy has Tasha Tudor illustrations, but other than that, it's a meh book for me.

QOTW: I really think the best adaptation I've seen has been the Hallmark Hall of Fame version of Sarah, Plain and Tall. The book was short on details and the movie really flushed it out for me.

I am reading That Kill Order, prequel in The Maze Runner series.  I like it and have enjoyed the series, but it seems more violent than the first three.  I am going to need some fluff afterwards!

[apelila]

I'm reading Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah.
Only a few chapters in, but so far so good.

[Deleted]

I'm reading a play, Romantic Comedy, by Bernard Slade. I really like it.

I also just read, another play, also by Bernard Slade, Same Time, Next Year. It was very good.

And I also finished Romeo and Juliet. I had studied it in school a couple of times, but this was my first reading as an adult. It was very good too.

I am going to focus a lot of attention on plays for the rest of the year. They are quick reading and I can make it through a lot of them.
