Anyone reading anything good?

Just curious. I always like to see what F14 is reading!

I'm currently reading Ticker. It's a steampunk thriller. It's pretty good...a little overly "hey, look, I'm STEAMPUNK!" but not bad. It was one of my free books from Amazon Prime, so I can't complain.

Shell, do you read Emily Giffin's books? I just finished her latest and have a question that's been driving me crazy.

Yes. Are we talking the football one?

I've finished two books this week, thanks to there being nothing on tv. The new John Grisham book is really quite good. The ending makes me wonder if there could be a sequel. I kind of hope so.

I have the new Jodi Picoult open on my lap right now. I've read 4 pages.

Yes, I finally got around to reading it. I think all of her other books have an appearance from a character from previous books. I didn't notice anyone showing up in this book. Did I miss it or did it not happen?

@golfergirl08‌ The One & Only, it's not exactly new I think it came out last May but these dang children don't like me to read books of my own.

ETA @Madisonpenny You might be able to answer my question if you've read her other books.

@shellbell3845‌ - just "read" the new Jodi Picoult, too (I audiobook). Loved it! Loved learning so much about elephants while getting into the story, too! DS1 got a new stuffed elephant we named after one of the book's elephants

I just finished "Sisterland" last night by Curtis Sittenfeld. Really liked it, especially since main character is raising a baby and 2.5-yr-old, so I really related. Also appreciated that the book didn't glamorize infant sleep or nursing. ETA: storyline is twins grew up with psychic powers. One is trying to avoid being psychic, but one is living off it. One sister makes a major prediction, and story follows the prediction and days leading up to see if it happens.

I'm on book 5 of the Blackdagger Brotherhood Series. Vampire Smut, but it's good.

@CiaoMama I just started that series! Glad to hear it's good!

@versed‌ id like to read that Curtis Sittenfeld book! I've enjoyed others by this author, especially American Wife.

@Bookshelves‌ The Pact is an older book. I read it quite awhile ago and don't remember my opinion on it.

The "sisterland" book had a couple smutty sex scenes in it, and of course the first one played (audiobook) when DH and the boys were in the car listening with me. Little embarrassing.

I'm still chugging along with the extended version of The Stand by Stephen King. I think it has a little over 1500 pages and I'm just over half way through it. 

I like it a lot but feel like I've been reading it and will be reading it forever!

I'm late to the party. I just started Gone Girl.

Just finished Mitch Albums "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." It was a quick read and I really really loved it, I plan on reading his other books soon.

@psk‌ - I just downloaded Eleanor & Park to listen to on Audiobook. It does sound good!

(plus, I really like the voice actress For the book - I've heard two of her other books, and her voice is so easy to listen to!)

@carissalynp‌ it was really good. Way better than Sycamore Row. Way better than some of his other recent books. It's about an NYC lawyer who gets furloughed and ends up at a legal aid in Appalachia. Her partners are fighting big coal companies.

@psk‌ - audiobook is about 9 hrs. I get a couple hours done in the car each day, so I'll get through it in 4/5 days.

Love audiobooks.
