What are you currently reading #2
I read
for my book club; we all liked it. Finished
Fair and Tender Ladies; I thought it was wonderful but sad. :( Not ALL sad, but parts of it broke my heart, but in a good way, I guess?

Well....it certainly took some turns I wasn't expecting, haha. I feel like the concept was interesting, I just wish the execution had been better.
Next I'm thinking I might re-read:
I haven't been making much progress on my re-read goals lately, so I should probably get on top of that. :P
Yesterday I started reading

I sure hope Kaylani who had it last is ok since she has a lot of health problems I know."Its alright Heidi! I hope she's okay too, I sent her several messages and never got any answer at all. :( I'm not too worried about the book--I got a replacement when I met the author to get it signed, but I'm bummed about all the postcards and other stuff people sent with it.

Tommy,what did you think of the Jane Yolen book? I have liked other books I have read by her.
Continuing with my #aYearathon readathon I read:
All were good!Also started my Colleen Hoover reads with
which tore my heart out several times! Loved it, really dramatic, but also really good!I'm moving right on with
started it last night,its goodish.
Finished my reread of Ashfall. I skimmed a bit in places because of stuff I didn't feel the need to reread again (the assholery at Camp Galena in particular) but it's keeping its original 5 stars. Gonna try and finish Soulless tonight.

I'm glad to hear you still loved it!
I just finished
It was soooo good! I loved every minute. Watney is one of my new favorite characters.
I started Amazing Grace
; it's good so far! Just finished a sweet romance set in Colorado;
hadn't read anything like that in a long time. I enjoyed it. :) soon I need to start The Nightingale
for Book Club. Everyone I know has liked it a lot, but it is long!! I'm not ready to settle down with it yet! ;)
Mod
Going to read these next...

TIme for an update! I've been a reading machine the last week or so!For the #AYearathon Readathon (theme of short books):
which I really liked. A prequel short story about how the Wild Poppy got started, takes place before
I really liked this one, too! It was a wonderful novella.
which was classic Nancy Drew--I haven't read Nancy Drew in a really long time! I liked this one, even though it was pretty old fashioned (published in 1930). That being said, Nancy herself was very modern and independent, and I LOVED that! I forgot how much I liked her :)
and I really liked this one! Fun fantasy that almost felt like a fairy tale.
This was my favorite of the week, really beautiful writing!
LOVED Peter Pan, its just a fun classic story, with a bittersweet ending.I started reading
for a buddy read, good so far!

Mod
I've actually never read Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys. Nancy always got mentioned in the BabySitters Club books though and I loved those :D

Unfortunately I was not in love with it but I do like E. Lockhart in general
Nour wrote: "I'm reading currently "we were liars" by e. Lockhart What do you think about it?"
I personally liked it, but I've never read any other Lockhart before, so I don't know how it stacks up.
Emmm... I have just started reading it now, I'll figure out after a while. Anyway, Thank you so much :)
Yeah.. in fact I'm finding it enjoyable..Actually I have never read any other story by e.Lockhart

I liked it! I didn't feel much of an emotional connection with the book, but I thought it had a strong atmosphere/tone and some good twists.

I am a character driven reader so that was my problem with it Dixie - I just didn't connect with any of the characters
