What Are You Reading Right Now Part 2
I finished Half A King and it was really good with some nice believable twists at the end :) Might just have to read to sequel!!!!
Reading...
Just finished...
an ok read. Most likely will read the next book because this one does end on a cliffhanger.
I started reading
on Halloween but I set it aside. I finished
yesterday and really liked it. I just started
today and I'm already halfway through it, I am loving it!
I have been so anxious over the last months of this election. No, I don't want to talk about that. I have found that I cannot stay with any book. I get less than halfway or so and cannot focus on it. I am not finishing books much. I am listening to one that is almost finished. I am skipping genres even. So I think I will not meet my book reading goal this year. I heard someone else here say they were having a reading slump. Me too.

@Donna I've been in a slump for most of this year, and I started a new job at t beginning of the year so without a miracle I won't meet my reading goal either haha

I am just focusing on the fact that I am still reading - too many people out there never read :)

I'm almost finished with the audio of

And then finally get to start the audio of
Yes!!
I almost put TGWATG aside so I could jump into Ice Country when otnreleased but was afraid I wouldn't pick it back up. Glad I stuck with it. But am so ready for IC now!

I was in the minority on TGWATG. I did not love it like most everyone else. It was a solid read and I loved the beginning but the end lost me and I never really fully identified with any of the main characters enough to fully invest in it.

I listen to books when I run, every morning for three or more miles. So I just let it roll and listen. I also have blue tooth in my car so I listen while I am doing errands too. Sounds like you didn't like as much as I did. Oh well.
I just finished WOLVES, by D.J. Molles
and it was very hard edged, a dystopian story about a man in an apocalypse who has lost everything and is after the group of slavers who killed his wife and took his daughter. Now I am listening to THE BODY READER
which is really good so far.
Donna, I did like
but I've been in a sci-fi phase lately and had a tough time switching to zombies. Just haven't been feeling zombies lately. But, I liked how it was a unique take on this genre! I have about 10 minutes left. I was soooooooo close to finishing this afternoon but had to stop listening to get an errand done. Grrrrrr... ;)

I've been so stuck in sci-fi these past few weeks, but plan to try to pick up
again. I started it awhile ago but I haven't been able to read much fantasy lately either. I think I'll be fine if I can get past a few chapters.
Has anyone else read it yet? I loved
!

It is a totally different take on the genre I thought. I have had a hard time finding anything to hold my attention. I'm on a true crime book now, Bind, Torture , Kill.

I hear ya! I get stuck in a certain genre and only that genre can hold my attention. I've done that with apocalyptic, historical fiction (Tudors), zombies, etc.. I end up going back and rereading all my favorites of whatever genre is grabbing me. ;)

"Sorry about your computer issues. Hope that's the end of them and you can get back to writing.
Computer issues are the worst, even more so, internet issues! Good to have a husband in IT ^_^currently reading...
Just started The Girl on the Train. It's alright so far. Waiting for Heartless and Gemina to be ready at the library.
I just finished these books in less than 48 hours.
Some people could probably do it in less time, but I'm such a slow reader. I couldn't put them down, they were so fun to read!

HEIDI: Finished the book and I really liked it. I'm loving the characters and this book was better than the other three in my opinion.

I'm about 2/3rds through and it just got twisty. It reminds me of The Girl on the Train with it's unreliable narrator.

I just finished
. It was better than I thought it'd be, but not as good as I had hoped. A few mild twists, but nothing that made me gasp.
