I've been slogging through The Passage. It's slow going. I'm past the halfway point though, so that's something.
Reading
as the book I borrowed from the library for 25.1. Then I'll read
as my second book for 25.1.
Started House Made of Dawn, a Pulitzer Prize winner, yesterday, but it is a slow going read.Also started The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie for Group Read. Love it!
I just finished Dead or Alive for 15.1. I have Death of a Trophy Wife going on my kindle for part of 30.7 and I'm not sure what I'll start next.
Reading
(not a big fan so far),
(interesting), and
(hopefully it will get better.)Looking for some more interesting reads!

Finished The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and still working on House Made of Dawn.Started The Right Attitude to Rain which I expect to finish tonight.
Finished The Right Attitude to Rain.Reading No Good Deeds: A Tess Monaghan Novel and still working on House Made of Dawn.
Also plan to start this weekend: The Choiring Of The Trees
I'm reading The Art of Racing in the Rain for 5.10 and enjoying it a lot more than I expected (it's not the sort of book I'd pick up on my own), and also The Wednesday Wars for 30.9. I started American Psycho for 10.1 a few days back but put it aside for a while. All the brand names and coolly executed murders are a bit much to stomach all at once.I have also started dipping into Let the Right One In for 10.10 on the kindle.
finished up Wife of the Gods: A Novel (Nickboy's task); The Coroner's Lunch (30.10); Caught Running (one of the other 30 pointers)
I'm planning on finishing The Help tonight. I've also started The Black Echo and The Quick and the Thread for a couple of the thirty point tasks.
I'm behind a couple of books in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, so I'm re-reading the series and catching up at the same time. Luckily, I found spots in the challenge for most of the books!
Reading
for 5.2,
for 5.6, trying to get interested in
for 10.6, and still trying to get through
for 25.1. I have
for 30.5 still at about 20%, but I'm trying to stop reading so many books at the same time!
I am currently reading (in order of focus) The Summer of Skinny Dipping (30.6-F), Rogue (30.7-B), Hate List (25.1-A), Sarah's Key (30.10-B-1), and City of Fallen Angels (30.9).
Currently listening to Last Night in Twisted River. This is the first John Irving I have read and I am really not liking it. Too much back and forth in the story I have a hard time figuring out the time line. I am also reading A Bone to Pick and The Pagan Stone.

(for the bookfest task) and

I'm currently reading Hush.
i'm liking it so far, only about 40 pages in, the illustrations are like wow...i'm def. going to try and meet him at the bookfest next weekend
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy reading it too.
I should finish The Black Echo tonight and start either Rapture in Death or The Making of The African Queen, or: How I went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and almost lost my mind.
Currently Reading...Hate List (25.1-A), City of Fallen Angels (30.9), Sarah's Key (30.10-B-1), The Forgotten Garden (20.10), and Just Listen (30.9).
Finished House Made of Dawn and The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. Will finish The Loved One this morning.Started The Choiring Of The Trees and Ceremony, but put them aside while I finish a bunch of library books.
Will be stating The Stars Above Vera Cruz (due soon) and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (which took me forever to get from the library).
I'm almost done with listening to How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf and debating what the next listen will be...I have 2 audiobooks for 15 point tasks and 1 for a 5 pointer
