What are you reading Showing 601-650 of 3,252

[Debbie]

Wow, how did it get to be the end of June already. Right now I'm on a break from required reading and am gobbling up some want to reads.
Yes I read Grey by EL James, if you're not a fan don't read it if you are you'll be delighted.

Next on I'm reading the July release of Pam Jenoff's new historical WWII tale The Last Summer on Chelsea Beach
Next it's Miss Match
Then Welsh author Paula Brackston's next Lamp Black Wolf Grey
And if I have time before my October reviews start calling I always have more on my leaning tower of to be read books.

Then next week I'll be starting section one of The Martian for our July read here

What about you!

[Lisa]

Has anyone read Kristin Hannah's new book The Nightingale? I love her books but it's a WWII setting and I'm not a big fan of that...

[Ang from OZ]

Three books on the go for me, skimming my way through Outlander, and having an eye rolling read of Grey, Deb you will probably get tbe eye roll reference more than anyone else. You could say I am still not a fan of E.L James and the fifty shades phenomenon. And the last book a pleasant surprise, I got asked to do an advanced reading by the author.

I love Kristin's books too Lisa, I haven't read Nighingale but her Winter Garden a few years ago was about WWII also only set in the present with some flash backs
I think the book's getting rave reviews and I have to be honest I love WWII settings :) good to see you!
When does your daughter's book come out?

Love the eye rolling Ang and I am still a very late coming to the party fan of the phenomenon.
Good job getting asked to be an early reader Ang!!!

[Kamas]

I'm going through the Hugo nominated short fiction of John C. Wright. When I'm done with that, I thought I might read one of the Mary Roberts Rinehart mysteries, maybe The Bat

Super Kamas, I love spinster crime solver mysteries too!

Debbie wrote: "Super Kamas, I love spinster crime solver mysteries too! "

I've never read any of her work, but I see she is referred to as 'the American Agatha Christie'. I'm guessing that description is mostly because she wrote mysteries at the same time as Christie. I do like Christie, so am looking forward to getting to those eBooks I downloaded from gutenburg

[Ruth]

I just finished "Shiver". Pretty enjoyable YA supernatural romance. I liked it! I am bouncing around different books for now. I did settle on "The Inner Circle" by Brad Meltzer for my audio book right now.

Hi Ruth,
Maggie Stiefvater is a favourite of mine, I really enjoyed "Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy"!!

[Kamas]

I've got Shiver on my to be read list, along with a bunch of other YA titles I got for free. Not sure when I'm going to get around to them.

[Ang from OZ]

Kamas, I can't picture you reading "Shiver" :) I really enjoyed the whole trilogy though, and I have shiver on Audio CD that I sometimes put on in the car.

I hope you'll be joining in on discussions with The Martian, I hope to start reading tonight.

[Debbie]

Yes I'll start my reading this weekend and will have hopefully have thought up some discussion worthy questions for us all!

[Kamas]

I need to finish up the last few pages of Hugo Nominated Short Fiction Works of John C. Wright and write up my review and then I'm onto the re-read of The Martian.

[Debbie]

Week one of The Martian is done and questions are ready to post!!!

I know it's a holiday weekend but what are the rest of you reading?

I'm going to be reading The Lost Concerto next I have the author as a guest on Monday.

Just finished a WWII late July release The Last Summer At Chelsea Beach unfortunately my review won't be published until closer to release day per publisher's request.

[[deleted user]]

Finished Five Days in May by Ninie Hammon today. I really enjoyed it. It was fiction, sort of a paranormal and psychological suspense, and with even a slight inspirational undertone. I'll definitely read more of her books.

[Ang from OZ]

Sounds like my kind of read tarheelgirl!

[Debbie]

OOh Mine too! Thanks for Sharing!!

Now the last book before I have to start my review books is a favorite author Marilyn Brant and her new release - The One That I Want

I love clearance my daughter's nick name for me is Betty Bargain Hunter :)

[Ang from OZ]

I have just started Earth Bound, by christine feehan. Great so far but i expect nothing less from Feehan. Always great books.

Oh she used to be my all time fave. Now though it has to be Deb Cooke.

[Debbie]

Ok reading fan(atic)s it's Friday whatcha reading this weekend?

I've just opened my first required read for the month I've been enjoying reading for pleasure for about two weeks but my tbr pile doesn't seem any lower :)

This weekend I'll be reading the scheduled part two of The Martian and for my in person book club on Monday I'm reading The Girls of Atomic City

[[deleted user]]

Deb, let us know how you like "The Girls of Atomic City." It's in my to-read stack. My husband is planning to read it as well. I definitely plan to get to it soon.

[[deleted user]]

Ah... my weekend reading...

Started reading section two of today. I'm getting hooked.

I am also reading Die Smiling by Linda Ladd. It's the third in the Claire Morgan series. She is a detective who always ends up with the most terribly creepy crimes. But she's incredibly sarcastic and funny, so that offsets the serious stuff. And there's just enough romance thrown in to make it a well-rounded series. This is becoming one of my favorite series!

[Kamas]

I read ahead on The Martian this week, so I probably won't crack open the last part until next week.

I did start The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart this week, so I'll probably finish that if there isn't a bunch of stuff to catch up on at work.

Oh i've read her TarHeelGirl, she lives in Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri it's a big tourist destination. I didn't know she had another book out. I'll have to see what all I've missed of her.
Thanks!

[[deleted user]]

I think there's at least 7 in the Claire Morgan series, with another due out soon. I picked up the first one as a Free Friday and now I'm hooked. Wonder if she would be willing to participate in group read sometime?

OOh Well that's a thought TarHeelGirl except with series I think it's best to start w/the first one. Great Idea!

I was trying to sort through my eLibrary, getting series in order, adding blurbs, etc. and what do you know? I came across Head To Head, the first of the Claire Morgan series. I guess I should get around to reading that some day.

[[deleted user]]

Yes, definitely start with the first one. The series does keep building, but that has more to do with Claire's character. As far as the crime, there is closure.

[Ang from OZ]

Currently reading the first book in Yasmine Galenorn's new series. Flight From Death. I'm really enjoying it so far! I also got approached by another author this week to do an advanced reading of their book. Cold here tonight, think I'll go curl up in bed with my book, my warm blanket and my fluffy cat.

Yeah just how cold Ang ;)

[[deleted user]]

Hope to find some time to read the third section of "The Martian" this weekend. I'm also reading by Ashley Farley that I won in a contest on Deb's blog! So far, it's great!

[Kamas]

I didn't do much reading this week. I'm about 1/4 done with The Bat, and I'm done with The Martian, just waiting for the discussion.

My mother photocopied a bunch of pages from a church anniversary celebration from '63 that my grandmother had. She made notes about who we are related to and sent it them to me. It's hard to follow in places because she only photocopied about 1/3 of it. Still pretty interesting seeing old photos of relatives. And finding out that the priest at our church when I was confirmed was a newly ordained priest at the church 300 miles away at the time of the celebration.

[Ang from OZ]

Yeah well, not cold compare to what you guys have over there, but cold for here. We are having lows of about 3 (degrees) and highs of 20.

Can't wait to discuss the novel further with you Kamas.
Ah the blast from the past, my mother recently cleaned out some closets and i'm now the happy recipient of several boxes of old photos. My daughter is hooked on Ancestry.com I think every time she gets a leaf she reacts like a lottery winner. I think it's the puzzle solving that appeals to her.

I'm into my October release reviews.

[Ruth]

I am reading "Deeds of the Disturber" (Amelia Peabody #5) and "Forever" (Wolves of Mercy Falls #3). Both are quite diverting, though I am still watching a lot of Netflix just now.

See you all in "The Martian" discussion!

[Debbie]

Glad you're still enjoying Her Sister's Shoes thanks for telling us about the giveaway!

Holy cow, what a title TarHeelGirl - is it good?

[Debbie]

Yes boys and girls it's the Weekend again. So whatsya readin? :)

I'm still on my October reviews just about done with the series and will start on Carla Neggers - A Knightsbridge Christmas

[Ang from OZ]

I just finished "Hush Little Bird" by Nicole Trope, not 100% sure how i feel about it. A little disturbing at times, but written well. I hadn't read Nicole Trope before, but i have just downloaded another of hers that sounded good. Also finished "A Summer Like No Other" which i was asked to pre-read by the author. I really enjoyed it, and hopefully may be asked to pre-read the next in the series as well. Gloomy outside here today, perfect reading weather if you ask me!
