Michael (book_nerd1991) Good morning, book lovers!

I am currently reading Hostage by Elie Wiesel

Poorly written to care about either the characters or the story.

I am currently reading Three Strong Women by Marie Ndiaye

Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 3046 comments I read Looking For Alaska. It was pretty good.


message 2812: by Michael (new)

Megan Anderson (ms_anderson) | 1464 comments I'm catching up on all my monthly comics that I haven't read yet because I was reading for the challenge :D Iron Man, X-Men, Avengers, and Kick-Ass, yay!

Also, one of my kids was hopping up and down and telling me I just HAD to read Gone and The Maze Runner, so I told him I would. So far I'm about 170 pgs into Gone and it's a little meh, but the first 50 pgs of The Maze Runner I've read are enjoyable.

And I'm rereading my task idea, of course *_~

message 2846: by Bea (last edited Apr 02, 2013 03:19AM) (new)

Bea Currently reading:
- library: Caleb's Crossing (audiobook), Morality for Beautiful Girls and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
- owned: Cutting for Stone, Midwives, Treasure Island and The Partner

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (30.4) - I am enjoying this book but reading time is limited so it is progressing slowly. Must finish by 3/17 as due back at library then.

Caleb's Crossing (5.9) - Really like it. Listening was interrupted as it was reclaimed by library and had to wait a few days to get it back. Due at library 3/20.

Morality for Beautiful Girls (5.3) - Just started but should be a fast read if I can find the time. Due at library by 3/22.

The Partner (30.2) - just started as is also a book for Zombie Monopoly.

Midwives (20.2) - Set myself a reading schedule to finish by 4/15. Second attempt at this book.

Cutting for Stone (30.3) - Also have a reading schedule to be done by 4/15.

Treasure Island is sitting around waiting for me to find time to read the 100+ pages to complete the two book 15.1. I expect it will be done by this weekend but I have not yet started it.

Since I have two must reads (reading plan books), I am reading other books once my daily allotment is done. As usual, that plan will go to pieces as I get further in the must reads and the story takes over my time and interest. Oh well.

Katrina (katmcv) | 455 comments Am just over 100 pages into The Night Circus. Quite enjoying it and hoping I can get another big chunk out of it today, although I have to work on an assignment first so not holding my breath.
