What are you reading in December 2015?

[Jenny]

This morning I was a few minutes late to work because I decided I just had to finish Hogfather before I left the house. What a fun read.

Last night I started listening to Foxglove Summer on Audible. This is my first audio of the series and I wish I were reading it instead. I'm not a fan of the narrator's Nightingale. I don't know how to properly discuss accents, but it sounds too nasally and maybe too stuck up is the way to describe it?

Ugh... I hate when a reader doesn't get the voices right. :(

I think I'm starting to get back in a reading groove - I've been reading some old favorites and they make me happy. :-D

The Key of the Keplian

I just finished The Fifth Season; it took me a bit to really get into it, but I ended up really enjoying it. The magic system is really cool and really builds the world.

I do hope there is a sequel.

Not sure what fiction I will read next. I'll figure it out.

It's kinda funny 'cause I had put Lion Heart on hold at the library before I knew we were doing Hood. Both are Robin Hood retellings... but Scarlet, the trilogy that Lion Heart is from, is, well, it's YA and romancey and, I imagine, rather different from the grimdark Hood.

Weird to be reading them in the same month.

So the plan is to read Hood first, since it's for a group read and since I am expecting it to be darker, and then read Flights and Chimes and Mysterious Times as a palate cleanser, and finished off with Lion Heart.

Of course, that's all after I finish Doctor Sleep, and I still got 68% left on that to go.

Finished reading We Were Liars. This is a nicely written book with something to say about dysfunctional families, but with a disturbing element that is reminiscent of Robert Cormier's I Am the Cheese.

I've sorted overloaded myself with multiple projects and multiple books haha
I went for the full The Lord of the Rings and have come at a standstill in the mid of book two, since I misplaced it again...
also got consumed in It
and also have Tales from the Dark Distance read mid way.
that's not including the many graphic novels I've become obsessed with

Aaargh! I think I'd get mixed up between the stories if I read multiple books at the same time (my currently reading list is not an accurate picture of what I'm reading btw lol).

[Michael]

I don't get mixed up, but I do get distracted with the book that starts picking up that I forget the others lol.
I should do one by one but I can't haha

If you're able to follow them all then it wouldn't matter. I can do this with anthologies though. You can finish a story in one and then turn to another anthology for a different read.

[Michael]

sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. it all depends on the books that I set up for myself lol
oh yeah I think that's the best thing about anthologies. they allow for multiple reads without as big of an investment on time.
