What Are You Reading Now?
Yesterday I started
which was going really well but it was in print so when I needed to read something at night, I was too lazy to turn on the lights, LOL! Anyhow, then I started
on my iPad which is very powerful so far but I don't know if it will have a HEA (interracial couple in Texas after WWII) and the author is really telling it like it was. No whitewashing the whole segregation business.
DG, I hope you enjoy Mistress of Rome. I loved that book!!I finished reading
this morning. It was really good and actually a lot deeper/darker than I thought it would be.
Kay, I agree. It was a good read. Not completely what I was expecting, although I knew I would like it because I like Webber's style of writing.Just read
and wow, that was crazy for being such a short little read! I am going to have to get to Wool 2 sooner rather than later. I'd recommend for any fan of technological sci-fi or dystopia. Thanks Regina for the rec. :)
D.G. I hope you like Mistress of Rome, I loved that book.I need to start a list of the books I really want to read, Easy is one of them. I'm so easily distracted lately.
I got Wool and the others in the series when they were free from Kindle. I can't wait to read them, good to know they're short reads.
Okay, I finished up
I have some mixed feelings about this book but in the end I liked it. I was not a light read by any means. ha!I read
and it was very well done. Not sure why I thought it was an erotica, it's not. lol!!
I'm almost done with
(if only this salesman would get out the office, I could sneak it out!)Will be moving on to
afterwards.

Hayley, I'm slowly reading this book. Taking my time and savoring it. I just love the characters. Especially John. My type of hero. Have you seen the BBC miniseries? I think they do a really good job of making it into a movie.

I just finished it - god it's gorgeous!! Yup, have heard of and already watched the mini-series, I saw it when it was first being shown on TV and then afterwards I went 'Oooh, it's a book too!'. Am now waiting for a replacement to my lost N&S DVD to arrive in the post :S
Agree with both you and D.G - Mr Thornton is divine!!
I never read the book, but the BBC miniseries of North and South was really good. Enjoy!I started what I thought was a short read but ended up being longer than 78 pages listed on GR...
. It's smokin' hot!
Stacia's got me reading
. Very short. Flying by, but so good already! I'm reading that while I work (cheating!) and reading
on my breaks and lunches.
You should Leea, it's really quick, but very deep and intersting. I'm really enjoying it.I'm not really a 2 book at a time reader, lol. But it's easy to read a book on my kindle at work, so I figured I'm gonna give it a shot. it's not so bad.
Grrr... GR keeps deleting my comments.Basically, i'm scrumming to peer presser and starting Wool. lol!
LOL! I just finished it. Off to review!
I have to read
too then! I'll start after work.
Okay, i'll start it after swim lessons. lol! Or during, I someone doesn't revoke my mom card. haha!
Just finished
. It was ok. Don't know if I'll continue the series...Will start
!
I'ts a book you'll finish in a half hour, but still so good. I was impressed.
Yay to all of the Wool readers. I was really impressed too.Finished
and I liked it better than the first book but there were still a few hiccups. Started
and might skim re-read
for a buddy read.
Wendy F wrote: "I'ts a book you'll finish in a half hour, but still so good. I was impressed."They each get better. You need to keep going!
Oh, so you moved on?Argh...I have scheduled reads I need to be working on plus a buddy read I should have finished already. I so want to move on!!!
I will probably read the second one at work tomorrow. I really want to move on.
I'm thinking this weekend I'll read 2 and 3. I have to figure out what I'm going to do about 4 and 5. It seems like I should have just purchased the omnibus.
Yes. I have read through 4 and started 5. :) 4 was my favorite. It is amazing.
I already had 1-3, so I'm going to have to get myself 4 and 5. I guess there's a prequel too...
. It's supposed to be about the creation of the silo, from what I gathered.
I knew he just released 6 but I never read the blurb so I didn't realize it was a prequel!! Cool!! On his blog the author shows progress through wool 9 I think. And the movie rights have been bought!
Oooh nice. This could potentially be a good movie, although I could almost see it being depressing with elevator type of music and a very gray style of cinematography.
This would potentially great movie, if it's done right.
The director/producer is amazing, let me dig up the link .... http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylis...

How's Last Will so far? I'm starting that tonight.
I'm only a couple of chapters in. I can't really get a feel for the book yet.
I've wanted to read the Moreno Brother series for awhile and I follow the author on Twitter. Looks the the first book is on sale, .99 on amazon right now...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004...

I'm reading
I finished
and what a gem, so much in such a little package. I can't wait to read the next book, to see what happens.
Just finished
! I absolutely loved it! Now on to
!

Kelly gave you some good suggestions in the thread below. Balogh is a favorite of mine so I'm prejudiced but Slightly Married and Slightly Dangerous are in my top ten all time list, 2 of 3 romances to be make the cut. The other is Silver Lining by Maggie Osborne.

was good! I really liked it. Will the next few books let us know what happened to Holston?
I finished
which I thought was erotica but it was really a spicy contemporary romance. The hero was cool but the heroine got on my nerves. Not sure that I'll continue the series. I'm also still reading
, which I'm enjoying (I'll wait to finish
when I'm done with Mistress.) I'm also listening to
, narrated by Toby Stephens. I'm having TONS of fun imagining him narrating the book (I've had the hots for him ever since he played Rochester.)
That is a lot of books DG! :)I am more than halfway through
and it is so good. I am so glad I pushed through again the first 20% and the narration is fantastic. Which suprirses me because I did not like this narrator (Kate Reading) for
- in fact I switched the narrated versions to get a new narrator for that book. I am going crazy at the part I am at right now (view spoiler) I think this part is written so well!
I know, that was so scary. I loved that they were going to Scotland. What do you think of Nathaniel? People said they didn't like him because he used the word 'ain't' and they thought he was unintelligent. I'm so glad you're enjoying the narration.
I just got an email notification from GR with books coming out by my favorite authors - that's so great! Finally they're catching on :) I'm still not getting some notifications but hey at least it's progress. lol!
Leea, I remember that thread for a year or so ago? If it is the same one I was thinking of. I disagreed then and it is funny you bring that up, b/c I was just thinking about it. I am also right now reading a book about analyzing class issues and classism in the US
and I think I remembered that comment b/c it was sort of a topic in the book I am reading. I think people have value independent of their education, schooling or amount they read. And Nathanial demonstrates his value over and over again! :DThat is cool, which books?
Regina wrote: "I think people have value independent of their education, schooling or amount they read."Definitely. On my father's side of the family most of the men have some education (my father was the first to get a college degree) while his sisters are almost illiterate. But that doesn't mean that they are not as smart or don't have good opinions or thoughts. Just that in their time, education wasn't valued for women.

Sydney is drastically different from Rose and I think some people didn't like that but I appreciate how she's using her brains instead of her brawn to be an asset.
I like that too. I didn't dislike Sydney. But I loved the Dimitri/Rose dynamic.
