Jan 4- partial week 1

[Tara]

Post your progress! It hasn't been quite a week yet but I know some have made progress already and I want to do Mondays just because. Personally I am stuck on a very boring book club book that I'm hoping to get finished very soon.

[Katherine]

I'm still adjusting to PST after being on the east coast over Christmas. I keep coming home from work, reading a few pages, and passing out on my couch. I close the bar where I work tonight, though, so that should kick me back into my regular sleep schedule and hopefully allow me to make significant progress over the following week.

[Charline]

I've finished 2 books already (I did start a day or two early, but guessed since I finished the first book in January, it would still count) I've been off work over the holidays, so wanted to get in as much reading as I could. I go back to work tomorrow, so my reading time will become much less. I'll go back to reading a bit at night and the weekends.

Both books I read, The Girl on the Train and The Silver Linings Playbook were good, but I did definitely prefer Silver Linings Playbook.

[Clare]

I am reading The Girl on the Train. I'm about 1/3 of the way through and I have to say that so far i'm finding it a little underwhelming.

[Charline]

I agree Clare, I was expecting more from that book. It does get slightly better, more exciting towards the end. I rated it 4, but really it's more 3.5, wish goodreads did half marks!

[Elizabeth]

I'm 502 pages in The Stand,which means I've only got 600 and some left to read.

[Clare]

@Charline I'm pleased to hear that it gets better. I'm off to read some more of it now.

@Elizabeth Wow that really is a chunky book! I wish I had the patience to sit and read books with that many pages. In truth I've probably missed out on some amazing books because their size put me off reading them. Enjoy!

Thinks,and I love reading big books like that especially if their ones I haven't read in a while,

[Mandy]

I'm off to a fairly good start. I'm actually in the middle of quite a few books as my fiance claimed my kobo while we were on holidays so I started to read a few paperbacks and then some e-books on my laptop and phone. I finished One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories, Everything I Never Told You, and Brooklyn. I enjoyed Brooklyn the best and look forward to seeing the movie version to see how it compares. As for the Girl on the Train, I didn't understand all the hype either :)

[Kim]

I finished the passion/hobby prompt: The Cat, the Lady and the Liar, for rescuing cats.

I'm also reading Everything I Never Told You for a GR group and goes under NYT bestseller.

I'm listening to The Neighbor, which is very similar to "Everything," that I'm getting confused on the characters. Not sure which prompt this falls under, if any.
