What is everyone reading?

[Butterfly]

Fortunately I have time again to read this book :) It is an adaption of the Russian Fairy and Folks tale :D So nice and exciting.

[Luella]

I'm in the middle of reading several books at the moment.

I can't wait to finish Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers it is interesting but I want to unload it when I'm done and I'm getting closer.

I started Sharp Objects for a challenge and also to unload it.

I started Fathers and Sons and The Complete Plays of Sophocles for a challenge last year , I completed another book for one prompt and only the one necessary play out of the Complete Plays so I'm trying to finish them up since I already started them.

And I have two library books that were part of another group that I'd thought I'd enjoy. I've started As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride but only picked up Horrorstör yesterday and I kind of want to knock one or two off the list before picking that one up.

Busy busy reader am I.

Finished today, and it was really really good! Very nearly 5 stars... but one of th..."

Nealy 5 stars, it's worth reading!

[Dominique]

I started The Wrath and the Dawn, not a lot of action but the writing is good so far.

[Dominique]

Finished The Wrath and the Dawn I gave it a 4 stars, beautiful book.

[Dominique]

I just finished The Martian and it was really good.

So I am currently reading for a challenge in another group I am part of and I am not sure why but I feel like I am struggling with the book. I was actually looking forward to reading the book after seeing the TV series. But now I find myself doing everything else but reading the book. I am not sure if it is the size of the book or what. Has anyone else read the book? Without giving away the plot, what are your thoughts on the book/series? Did anyone else struggle with it?

[Syd]

I read Outlander several years ago and I remember it taking me a while to read but I ended up really liking it. I think once you get over the combination of fantasy and historical fiction it's pretty good.... I do want to reread it though, I feel like I would appreciate it more as a grown adult

[Dominique]

I just finished The Guest Room, it's about a bachelor's party gone wrong. It was a good book

I am still struggling with so last night I decided to take a break and started reading / After Haze I will go back to Outlander. Maybe by doing that it will not be os hard for me to get through Outlander.

I have Outlander to read this year, was it too slow?

Pretty much. I love details but the author just puts in way too much.

But what you read so far, was it good?

[[deleted user]]

IT is good. I just think because it's slow going I need a break to make sure that I don't loose interest all together.

I know what you mean. L`m reading the Goldfinch, it`s a long book, it`s good but l`m reading something in else with a little bit more action to balance it out.

[Syd]

long epics do take a chunk of time to read I think. my boyfriend got me a mystery novel for my birthday Still Life: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel which I just finished and loved! I really like detective stories I have discovered. But now I am looking at my bookshelf trying to decide what to read next :(

[Dominique]

I finished . It's a big book but lovely story, dark, not a lot of happy moments in this book but loved it.

[C.P.]

I'm readint The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson and loving it. So everyone who started the Mistborn books should continue. :)

It's because I saw the movie trailer that I decided to pick up the book.

[Teresa]

I just finished Perfectly Imperfect, which was amazing and now I'm starting Beloved!

[[deleted user]]

Hey everyone :) new here! Hahah

The book im currently reading is Me Before You, which I've noticed so many people on the goodreads community have been picking up lately! Enjoying it lots so far!

[C.P.]

It's been recommended to me, so I may have to pick it up.

I just finished All the Light We Cannot See and will probably start Fablehaven today.

[[deleted user]]

I have that next on my TBR list! Think I should get on it right away or look for something else first?

[C.P.]

All the Light We Cannot See? I'd say go for it. I loved it. Some people aren't crazy about the way the story is told, but I thought it was brilliant.

[[deleted user]]

Yes! Got me excited! Definitely going for it next :)

[C.P.]

Well I'll be excited to see what you think!

[[deleted user]]

I'll be sure to let you know!

Reading the book of the month The Thirteenth Tale

[Ellie]

I am usually reading only one book at a time, but these days I just can't gather my mind, I am so absent-minded. I started The Sweetest Dream by Doris Lessing, but it didn't grab me... so I left it for now and began reading The career of Nikodim Dyzmy by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz... I am reading it in my lunch break and at home I read The Science of Discworld by Terry Pratchett.

[Dominique]

I started Pretty Baby

[C.P.]

Just finished and now I'm reading

[Teresa]

I'm reading A Million Little Pieces and loving it so far.

[Ellie]

In the middle of Jo confesso by Jaume Cabré.

I read it years ago, it's too bad that he had bad press because most of the story wasn't true but it was a great book.

[Allanah]

Im reading Game of Thrones: a song of ice and fire. I love it so far! Its really long though and i'm excited to read more and more books but still enthralling nonetheless.

[Lippes]

I just started The Bone Clocks. Took a while until it was released in Germany - but now finally here I am and I'm so looking forward to it!

[Salim]

Currently reading 'Morocco that was' by Harris Walter

[Butterfly]

I'm currently reading It's a funny mystery series :D

[NzingaMarie]

I'm currently reading Water for Elephants, but I should be finish with it by tonight. I'm excited to start The Catcher in the Rye first thing in the morning :-)
