What are you reading?

Right now I'm reading " The Things We Do For Love" - Kristen Hannah. I'm only 50 pages in or so and its excellent.

I had started "Zoo Keepers Wife" which is somewhat a memoir. Its a little slow so I had to put it down for a bit. I probably pick it back up again after I finish the one I'm currently reading.

I've been re-reading the Sookie Stackhouse series, currently about halfway through book #4 "Dead to the World"

Like I said below I'm rereading the Fifty Shades Trilogy.

I really want another good book to read soon though..

[MrsAggie]

I'm just starting the Fifty Shades trilogy. Also, I'm finishing up "How to Archer: The Ultimate Guide to Espionage and Style and Women and Also Cocktails Ever Written".

[blueshirt2003]

I am reading The Host and I just got done reading Unwind about a week ago.

[basilosaurus]

Emperor of all maladies. It's a history of cancer and, despite the depressing sound, is really very interesting.

[Dory1988]

The Game of Thrones series. I'm still on book one because I haven't had a lot of time to read lately.

[beans]

The Paris Wife, which is about hemmingways's wife. I'm not sure where it falls on the fact vs fiction continuum but it is a really good read so far.

J.D. Robb in death series. I will be taking a break soon to read 11/23/63 .

[JakJak]

The unthinkable. It's about how people react in emergency situations. It's really interesting

[iluvmytxrgr]

I just finished A Discovery of Witches. It's the first book in a series called the All Souls Trilogy. I really enjoyed it but the next book won't be released for a few more weeks. I really need to learn to start a series after all the books are out.
I had started reading Fifty Shades of Grey and threw it across the room because the terrible writing and lack of editing were driving me nuts. I picked it back up because I have nothing else to read. I probably won't read the other books in the series.

[moviegirl03]

I'm reading Insurgent. I loved Divergent, but am struggling a bit through this one.

[brandienee]

I am re-reading Jane Eyre. Lovely book.

[drunkpeggy]

I'm reading Vanity Fair's June edition. I'm this close to reading 50 Shades though and I'll hate myself if I do...just like I said I'd hate myself if I read Twilight...two years later and I'm dying for November to get here.

[verycontrary247]

If anyone wants to read 50 Shades without having to waste money on that garbage, pm me your email and I can send you a PDF.

Just PM'd you. Thanks in advance!

I'm alternating between Wilke Collins' The Woman in White and Eloisa James' Beauty and the Beast.

[bettydraper]

Re-reading the Red Tent. I'm about a 1/3 of the way through and getting bored. I'm committed to finishing it though. I also think some of her other books look really interesting.

I had the same issues with Insurgent, but its really good.

I've heard good things about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I haven't started it yet, but its likely going to be what I read next. Its about a woman who was a poor African American tobacco farmer who's cell's were taken without her permission in the early 1950's. They apparently became very important to the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, etc. I guess she never saw any kick back and her family recently found out about all this. They can't even afford health ins and her cells are being used in vital medical advancements. That's a cliffs notes from what I've seen about the book, but it looks super interesting.

Also still trying to start 11/22/63. Its so intimidating with its 1000 pgs!

[pennylane]

I'm reading Game of Thrones right now. Well, the first book. It's going a bit slow because I've been so exhausted that every time I sit down to read I end up falling asleep.

[basilosaurus]

Henrietta Lacks was really good. It was a surprisingly quick read. H read it, too, and he rarely has time to read for fun.

Oh yea? I'm just a few chapters in but I've been told it's a semi slow to read book.


I'm also working on the Dresdin Files series. I'm on book 6 now, I think.
