   I'm still working on Fall of Giants. It's really good, but I keep getting bogged down in all the politics, especially the Russian Revolution parts. I'm getting sick of Lenin's hypocrisy.

     Just finished Never Knowing, it was outstanding and it was a terrifying thriller. For those of you that are a fan of thrillers, check this out!

     I'm a little more than 2/3rds of the way through A Thousand White Woman by Fergus . I'm enjoying it.

     Up to four books now with the digital download for Dead to the World. I'm good with three books at once but four always make me feel guilty when I'm not reading, don't know why. Oh, I did finish Greenmantle or it would have been five books.

     Finished One Thousand White Woman-excellent,very insightful. Some of it was more politically correct than I'd expect a woman to be in the 1800's but...

   and really loved. I am not necessarily a big fan of baseball, but the story is so engaging you just can't help but breeze through it. I love a book that moves between two eras in history and this one did it seemlessly. 4.5 on the scale for me.

     I finished Janet Evanovich's Two for the Dough. I'm liking this series so far. So far, the books have been quick and I have found them humorous. I'm hoping I still like the series at the end or if I will be turned off by the it's the same old thing like I was with James Patterson.

I'm hoping I still like the series at the end or if I will be turned off by the it's the same old thing like I was with James Patterson. I started Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James. I have mixed emotions about the series. Although not well written, I still feel some pull to complete the series. Maybe to see what all the hype is, how it ends or just to say been there, read that or finish what you start attitude. I have a love/ hate relationship with both Christian and Anastasia. Maybe I will feel different once I'm doing reading the series.
 I finished The Lantern, it started off good but went downhill after that.

 I'm just about finished The Sisters Brothers and can't wait to be rid of this - I have to know how it ends but I can't say I enjoyed this read. This book has gotten so many 5 star reviews, but I found it disturbing and distasteful and will be glad to delete it from my e-reader.

It has such an addictive quality and I can't seem to get enough.

I've been reading this series for a long time but I'm only up to Sizzling Sixteen.

      Started reading Bellevue Press's Inukshuk. Only 40 pages or so into it, so jury is still out. Needed to google Chinook... (dont laugh)
    
  
  
   Started reading "Hush, Hush" by Becca Fitzpatrick. Really love it so far. It's the first in the series. Kinda hard to put down.

I finished Fall of Giants last week, then started The Report. The story is based on a true occurrence and is interesting, but the writing is... pretentious. I think she was going for atmospheric and missed the mark. Or maybe it's some avant garde thing I'm just to unsophisticated to understand. It's pretty bad.
 I just finished reading 'MARCH" BY GERALDINE BROOKS,then started "INTERPRETER OF MALADIES"by JUMPA LAHIRI,

 Just (literally, just, as in 10 minutes ago) finished the Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. They were alright--a summer beach/pool read. The series reminded me a lot of the Hunger games in that the prose is very tight and much of the plot focuses on fast action as opposed to character or world building.

Did you like Fall of Giants? I want to read it but I'm not sure if I should commit to buying it or just go to the library. I really enjoyed Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, but I know FoG is not set in that world at all...

 Just started The Royal Victorians: King Edward Vii, His Family And Friends. I suspect this is going to take a long time to read. Very dry.

Much as I adore the book of Wicked, I found that his others didn't even come close. For me, anyway.
 I'm currently reading Someone Like Summer. I'm thinking this is going to be a pretty short read, which isn't really a bad thing.

     I have a few different things I am reading right now, Avalon is one of them, as well as Philippa Gregory's The Lady of the Rivers. I am trying to not get too involved in them right this second as I in the midst of exams so when I feel the need to read and don't have time for much I go for something historical and right now am reading The House of Tudor. I really like this book and its actually written well without being drawn out and seeming too scholarly.
