I'm reading Water For Elephants, finally!

I just finished reading Son of a Witch, it was ok. I haven't decided on what I will read next.

I'm currently reading Don Quixote for my challenge, The Great Gatsby for one book club, Act Like a Lady/Think Like a Man for another book club, and my "hair-drying" book is The Handmaid's Tale.

I'm reading "Flawless" by Sara Shepard. It's the second book in the Pretty Little Liars YA series, which I decided to read after becoming obsessed with the show on ABCFamily.
I initially thought the series was a little immature, but the second book is turning out to be way better than the first one and I can't wait to read the next one.

I love this show! I haven't read the books yet but I've been meaning to! I also really like The Lying Game which is based on books by the same author. I'm actually reading the 3rd book in that series now.

I'm reading:

• Two Truths and a Lie by Sara Shepard (Lying Game Series #3)
  
• Grave Peril (on audiobook) by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files Series #3)
  
• Frankenstein (I'm actually reading this via dailylit.com)

You're so dedicated you have a hair drying book!

Methland. It's depressing and fascinating all at once.

Reading Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer right now. Just finished The Devil's Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea--intense but excellent.

What do you think of Moonwalking with Einstein so far? It's been on my "maybe" TBR list for awhile now.

I am almost done with Deadlocked (latest Sookie book). I am not sure what's next. I keep saying Outlander, but then something else comes up.

Book 2 of Fifty Shades. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

I just started "The Worlds of Japanese Popular Culture," which is a collection of academic essays. I'm going to Japan next month and I like reading about my destinations to get excited.

The last one I finished was "Off the Kings Road," which was well written but the author annoyed me a little (it's a memoir).

before it was Cruising Attitude: Tales of Crashpads, Crew Drama, and Crazy Passengers at 35,000 Feet. Not a difficult read, just makes you crazy reading all the stories about people at the airport!

I'm going to get this for my flights!

Not the OP, but I think it's appropriate for a "maybe" list. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't overly crazy about it. Definitely worth keeping on the list for when/if you get around to it.

Ok, so NOW I'm reading:

"Real" book: A Feast for Crows. About 3/4 of the way thru.

Audio book: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Just started it this morning and I've already sprained my eyeballs rolling them at it.

Kindle book: The King's Rose by Alissa Libby

So far, so good. I'm only 100 pages in, but he's a funny writer and the topic's interesting. I just finished a section on the most forgetful people in the world, people who lose their capacity for short-term memory--pretty fascinating. I saw him speak at the National Book Festival last year. He was really engaging and the book's matching his talk. And if I can take away some tips to improve my memory, all the better!
