What are you reading right now?

I think I'm your opposite. I tend to dislike books that a lot of people like. This isn't true across the board, but there's definitely been a lot of popular books that have left me going HUH?



I finished
and I enjoyed it, fun read!
Next I'm reading
, which was recommended by a friend, and sounds a bit like Ready Player One, but more thriller style. Excited to read it!

Jenny please keep us updated in my group about Erebos! It is our monthly read this month and I just picked up my copy at the library yesterday :)

I felt the same way after reading Six of Crows. It was my favorite book of 2015!

YAY! I'm so glad you loved it, I loved it too!


YAY! I'm so glad you loved it, I loved it too!

Now jumping into Truthwitch by Susan Dennard. Definitely excited for this one too!


Yay. My kids have to read 30 minutes every day for school, but they treat it like a chore. As a book lover and an author, that totally bums me out.


Ugh, what is it with boys and video games? My son is addicted, but my girls could care less about them. A lot of my friends tell me it's the same for them.

You sure they are reading the right books?
You know the saying, there is a book for everyone. I belive that very much, have they discovered harry potter? pjo? both series reluctant readers love. Try audiobooks, many people I know dislike reading but love audiobooks.

Over the holidays, I read

Lol! Although I was a huge reader as a kid (way more than my friends), I too was addicted to video games (Nintendo 64 and PlayStation at the time) :)

Gahh it took me forever! I liked it, but I didn't love it. The format was interesting, but for the most part I just found it kinda distracting. And I just wasn't super invested in the plot. Ah well.
Now I am starting:

I also know a lot of people who claimed not to enjoy reading that much who utterly devoured Neal Shusterman's works. I have never met a person who didn't like Unwind.
