What Are You Reading

[lovethesun]

I decided I am not going to read books 2 & 3 of Fifty Shades.

What are you reading right now?

I am normally a beach trash type of book person but I am open to suggestions.

After reading Fifty Shades I wonder if I would want to dable in the romance collection? Do you or have you ever read these types of books?

I'm currently reading Anna and the French Kiss, which is a very fluffy, fun YA romance. Nothing trashy or anything like that. I had read some heavier stuff, so this is a nice change. I don't read a lot of romance, so that's all I've got.

Have you checked out Goodreads? Its a great site that will suggest books based on other books you've read/liked.

I am reading:

"Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage" by Elizabeth Gilbert (a memoir-ish look at the institution of marriage and the story of why she was pretty much forced into it if she ever wanted to live in the US ever again. I like it so far. Not sold on the institution of marriage 100%, though.)

"The Ask and The Answer" by Patrick Ness (A YA sci-fi dystopia; book 2 of the Chaos Walking triology. I LOVE DYSTOPIAS!)

"Bloom: A Memoir on Finding Beauty in the Unexpected" by Kelle Hampton

and that's it right now. I usually read three of four books at a time.

"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" I heard the movie is good, so I am trying to read the book before I rent it.

The Paris Wife

If you like books that have a lot of, erm, romantic action, I loved Outlander. It's also historical fiction, so there's a lot more going on than just the romance, but the romance is quite intense. It's definitely not a beach read in that it covers some pretty heavy stuff, but it's worth it. Also not short. Very long with lots and lots...and lots...of character detail. (Shutup, Kim )

This is on my to-read list. Thanks for reminding me. I need to add it to goodreads so I don't forget. again.

Hey now, I will say this, while yes, there was a LOT of precious detail, I find myself thinking about the story more now that I'm a bit removed from said detail. I think I'll definitely be picking up Dragonfly in Amber in the near future.

And I do agree, this is a book to read if you like "romantic action".

I am reading The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. Beautifully written book.

It vanished recently, at the hands of a little one, and I couldn't find it for over a week. Books have disapeared before in my house, to never be found (I'll probably find them one day when we move). I was so bummed because I was over 3/4 the way through it and knew it I started a new book and then found it, I'd probably never go back to it. I finally gave up and was walking over to pick up a new book to start, when I saw a tiny corner peeking out from under a piece of furniture. I'm so relieved I get to finish it.

I get anxious when I don't get to finish a book!
