That's cute! What a way to get you reading outside the box of your usual genre. Lol.

I am 3/4 finished wDeeply Odd. Not sure if I like this one as much as the other Odd Thomas books. Usually I plow through them in 48 hours, but this is taking me forever. Not sure if it's the book or me.
After 5 discs (out of 10), some good stuff is happening in Pride & Prejudice. I don't know the story line at all so I was surprised by the latest.
I have tried to read the Outlander series, but never make it through the first book. I want to like it so i requested it on CD & will see if I can finish book one.

I have had trouble staying motivated on reading recently which is why I joined the reading challenge. It has really helped get me motivated & I enjoy the group discussions a lot.

I am still stuck in the polite society of Pride & Prejudice when I am in my car. odd Thomas -Deeply Odd is occupying my night. Once the Olympics are over I will have more reading time. :)

I had the same problem with the names!

Liz wrote: "Ingrid, I know exactly what you mean. I find myself rolling my eyes sometimes when I read historical fiction, even when it's really well done. I just can't imagine having to be "proper" all the time!"

I historical times, I would be kicked out of society & forced to live in the country home by myself with the servants because I stick my foot in my mouth all the time. Ha ha.

I finished Ready, Player One. Good book, but the whole time I kept thinking I was reading a book my son would have read. Lol
Last night I started the 5th Odd Thomas book - Deeply Odd, by Dean Koontz. This is my favorite series by him.
When I am driving around, I am listening to Pride & Prejudice. The formality & politeness of the characters is cracking me up & I think I like listening to it better than I would reading it. I would have never made it in society back then!

I took the advice of many of you and started Ready Player One today. Thanks!

I just finished Allegient & I did like it. My eyes are killing me from crying so much though. Tomorrow I will decide what to dive into next.

Hmmmm...I am going to have to look up what constitutes fantasy. Looking forward to it though. I read Dave Duncan. I'm not sure if he's fantasy.

I am behind on Allegient because I am spending all my time cooking yummy stuff during the storm. Cherry pie, meatloaf, hash brown casserole. Tonight is either homemade sloppy joes or tortilla soup. Also, I am WAY behind on my book on CD because I haven't been in my car at all due to the snowstorm. Ha ha.
After I finish Allegient, I am diving into the latest Odd Thomas book by Dean Koontz. I love that series.

That is why I end up bringing home so many books from the library. I never know what I will be in the mood for.

I am sure all of us have made the same bad decision many times in our lives. Lol.

This week, I was behind in my reading, but I stayed up until 3:00 A.M. & finished Divergent. Of course I'm paying the price today. Lol. I went straight into book three of the trilogy.

I am looking forward to reading in front of the fire tomorrow while the kids play in the snow. Still on Divergent.

Just finished Divergent so on to Insurgent. Yesterday, I checked out lots of fun books from the library, but I decided to read this entire trilogy first now.

Started Private on CD in the car today. I read it, but can't remember it to keep reading the next ones.

I am 1/2 way through Divergent. I will probably finish it tomorrow.

I saw this list. Books to read that will be movies in 2014.

I think Divergent.
