What are you reading June, 2016

[Connie]

It is so inspiring!!

[Julie]

Just began The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall. A nonfiction read for my local book group. Surprising and intriguing so far!

[Elizabeth☮]

I finished How Does It Feel to Be a Problem?: Being Young and Arab in America which I found completely enlightening.

I just started Lagoon.

[Lisa]

I have just finished 'Fever at Dawn' by Peter Gardos...a flawless journey in love and what it takes to survive. Just starting 'The Odd Woman and the City' by Vivian Gornick...quietly hopeful.

[Mindy]

I read for my book club. Really good, I'm excited for our discussion on Wednesday.

I was in France and read some travel books; still reading .

I also read and really enjoyed it. Fairy tale retellings aren't usually my thing but I started the Lunar Chronicles for a group read in one of my GR groups, and was surprised to find it so entertaining and now I want to read the whole series.

I'm listening to and it's fabulous.

Next up . It will satisfy the middle grade requirement for the Read Harder challenge I'm in...plus I just want to read it. :-)

[Hannah]

Wonder is great!

[Britany]

Finished by Delia Ephron-- 4 Stars.

Two couples vacation to Siracusa Italy and madness ensues. A character study with people I loved to hate. Really enjoyed this one.

I strayed from my To-Read list a little bit and read 84, Charing Cross Road this weekend and am almost finished with The Nest.

Tonight, after some required reading for an insurance course, I'm going to crack open The Complete Persepolis to try to finish it up for the Goodreads book club with Emma Watson!

[Sue]

I'm just starting The Nest on audio after finishing Kitchens of the Great Midwest, which I enjoyed a lot more than I expected to.

I loved Blindness. I hope you are too.

I have had a crazy, busy time since Booktopia. I am still reading , War and Peace. I finished , Girl Waits with Gun as well as , The Mirror Thief. I enjoyed both of those immensely. I am now deeply into , The Nest which is a great summer book, one of those where you stop doing what you are supposed to be doing, just to get back to it. Thanks, Ann Kingman, for the suggestion!

[Britany]

Finished by Emily Giffin- 3.5 Stars.

Two narrators telling a story alternating chapters. Light and perfectly enjoyable for the summer.

[Kimberly]

Just finished The Sound of Gravel , which was amazing! I have honestly never read a memoir about polygamy life, but this one had such insanely good reviews that I couldn't pass it up. Ruthie's story was so heartbreaking and brutally honest. 5 star read!

Right now, I've started It's Kind of a Funny Story . I love the film, and have had the novel on my TBR for quite a while.

[Elizabeth☮]

Kimberly,

I loved the movie for It's Kind of a Funny Story. The scene with "Under Pressure" is the best.

The book is pretty close to the film.

[Melissa]

I finished The Green Road, and I enjoyed it. I started Leviathan Wakes on my Kindle and Smaller and Smaller Circleson audio. I am almost finished with The Year of the Runaways. So far, I love all of them!

[Robin]

Finished Forty Rooms... just gorgeous, 5 stars from me. Here's my review:

Thank heavens for the last couple of books I've read in June.
Both were excellent. Including links to my comments.

The Hummingbird

A Man Called Ove
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

These both redeemed a month of reading I could have easily been called mediocre.

[Britany]

Finished by Caroline Kepnes-- 3.5 Stars.

Joe's back and this time he's not leaving anything behind. Crazy situations, murder, drugs, and explicit language. I devoured it guiltily and greedily.

Finished by Leah Remini- 4 Stars.

Loved this one- listened on audio and Leah narrates her tale, mixing Hollywood and Scientology. Highly recommend.
