Week 26: What are you reading?

[Liz]

Hi everyone! Happy Fourth of July week!

I am listening to a fantastic audiobook, On a Pale Horse. Thanks for the recommendation, Chris! I am also reading The Way of Shadows, the first book in a fantasy trilogy I've been meaning to try for awhile.


Don't forget that you are all invited to join me in person tomorrow night at the Central Library (298 Cedar Road) for Reading in the 21st Century. For more info, check out the event on the library's website and don't forget to register! http://bit.ly/1J0IGRq

What are you reading this week?

[Ann]

I went on a bit of a book binge last week/this past weekend. I finished The Laughing Corpse and went on to read Circus of the Damned, The Lunatic Café, Bloody Bones, The Killing Dance, and am halfway through Burnt Offerings. I've got a couple of books checked out and I'll probably read those next: The Heir by Kiera Cass and Good Omens and Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman.

[Liz]

Wow, Ann! That's a lot of books. I don't think I could keep track of all the storylines!

[Ann]

It does lead to a case of what happened in which book, I'm almost tempted to keep a list and add which characters were added where.

Glad you are enjoying it! This week, I am continuing to read through the Complete Sherlock Holmes The Complete Sherlock Holmes and Tales of Terror and Mystery (audiobook), and also listening to Steel World, which I have been cruising through staying up late and listening for hours at a time. For my actual reading, I am reading The Glass Magician which is the second book in the Magician series. Following a young 'Folder' who is a magician who enchants paper. In this world, only a select few people have magical abilities and each person can only be bound to one type of magic. So far, I have encountered, paper, glass, steal, rubber, and plastic magicians. Then, there are the excisioners, who are rogue magicians who have chosen to bond to the forbidden substance of blood. The young paper magician and her professor are engaged in secret investigations to track and capture the elusive excisioners.

I finished listening to The Help last week, which was very well narrated. There was a different narrator for each perspective.

This week I just started listening to Red Queen.

I'm still reading "Wicked Business" by Evanovich & have started the new Stephen King "Finders Keepers" & "Wayward Pines" the first book of the trilogy.
Also just purchased my audiobook! Had an email this morning from Simon & Schuster that Stephen King has a new book only available on as an audiobook, "Drunken Fireworks".

Just finished War of the Whales . I was not expecting to like it all that much as I knew it dealt with naval exercises, lawsuits, and government (all topics that I am generally not that interested in). But it actually was a pretty compelling read. The author kept it interesting and interspersed the dry bits with more interesting information (at least for me).
Still working on A Thousand Pieces of You and now I'm going to start another law book The Law of Superheroes .
