Happy Friday! (3/22) What are you reading?

[duckduck]

So what are you reading on this lovely (or not-so-lovely) first Friday of spring?

I am still chipping away at A Feast for Crows. I have sucked at reading for a good month now.

I just started listening to Divergent.

We're doing Easter on Palm Sunday with the clan, but that's pretty much all the plans I have for the weekend. Hopefully I can get out of this reading slump.

I'm still only a couple of chapters into Beautiful Creatures. I've been going non stop for several months and I finally have a free weekend. I'm planning on devoting serious time to reading. Ahhh....I can't wait.

AND I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT TUESDAY! Not only is it my anniversary but Lovers At Last is released.

I finished the Scorpio Races and now I'm reading The Last Werewolf. It's just okay so far. I got it as a cheap/free kindle book about 2 years ago, so I'm plugging away at the books I already have.

Happy Anniversary/Vampire Porn Day!

I started Will Grayson, Will Grayson, but March Madness is taking priority over reading this week.

I am reading State of Wonder by Ann Patchett according to the sequence of books from the poll I posted last month. I'm really enjoying it so far!

The Three Musketeers. I a pleasantly surprised.

The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw. It's magical realism, which I like, but I'm not wild about the book. It's very sedate and quiet, which is also something I usually like, but it's just not working that well here.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed that book.  I read it in three days when I really should have been studying for my final finals in college.

I just finished A Stranger in Mayfair and think I'll move on to finish the next-in-series Charles Lenox books I own -- unless I find something more gripping when I'm books shopping this afternoon.

I'm still slogging through Wolf Hall, but clearly I'll be putting that down for Lover at Last! I've been soooo bored with my books lately! I can't get into anything.

I'm reading Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. I'm loving it so far. I'd really like to drive the entire PCH someday so I love reading about the small towns she visits and the nature scenes she describes.

I also liked The Three Musketeers, but I do find that books I am reading to procrastinate doing something less fun tend to be more enjoyable in general!

I just finished A Shot of Sultry by Macy Beckett. I enjoyed it a lot.
I'm not sure what I'll read next. Thinking of reading The Great Gatsby since the movie is coming out but that isn't until May 10 and it won't take me long to read it at all.
Maybe the new Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller? Or a Nora Roberts. My spring break from grad school starts next Friday so I'll have a good chunk of reading time coming up and don't know what to read in the meantime..

Ungrateful Daughters by Maureen Waller. It's a biography of Mary and Anne Stuart. It's really well written and interesting. Big  :Y: from me.

Ooh I loved this book! It's definitely different but really well written and compelling.

I've been in a reading funk for months myself.

I'm reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.  I'm surprised at how much I'm liking it so far.  I remember seeing the movie a long time ago and not really liking that, so I wasn't sure what I'd think about the book.

Based on the reviews on this board, it seems to be a love-it or hate-it type of book.  I'm now halfway through and definitely still enjoying it.

I've just started Part 3 of The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. I struggled a bit during the first several chapters. I should finish it tomorrow if not by tonight.

I'm in one, too. I should table A Feast for Crows and switch to A Shot of Sultry to see if that helps, but I'm too stubborn.
