What are you reading June 2014

[Amy]

Just started Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. Which apparently everyone in the world has read already. I'm always 12 steps behind when it comes to being part of the "in" crowd!

I am reading The Quick. I had just started it prior to Michael making it his book he can't wait for us to read! I haven't had much time to read this last week, but hopefully with the short week and the long weekend coming I can really sit down and get into this book.

I'm listening to the Silkworm. I have 2 hours left...

I read All My Friends are Superheroes this weekend...not quite what I was expecting. Half of the book (and it isn't long) is letting us know who the superhero friends are and what their superpowers are...this was funny, but I expected more of a story between Tom and The Perfectionist.

Melissa please report on THE QUICK. I heard the recommendation from Michael but I also saw some not so hot reviews on GOODREADS.

No, I haven' read it ----- yet! Have you? I need something a little less gruesome first!

i haven't because of this! i heard it's by far the most gruesome of the three and the most unsettling. maybe gillian flynn needs to release a trigger warning version for the faint of heart. :)

My Accidental Jihad listening on my iPad at work.

Finished and loved Americanah. I'm now reading Land of Steady Habits. Gerald, that really sounds good!

Pay no attention to those negative reviews - I just finished The Quick last night and I truly enjoyed it. If you like Wilkie Collins, or just are in the mood for a creepy Gothic horror story, this is a great one. I gave it four stars!

[Gerald]

Claire I read THE WOMAN IN WHITE so that book will probably go on the list. Thanks .

[Melissa]

I have not had any good reading time the last two weeks so I'm not very far into The Quick but I'm sitting at the hairdressers right now so I'm going to read. And hopefully this long weekend will include some quality reading time!
