NTTGPR: What are you reading?

GermanGirl2007 · September 2011

I feel like this has been done recently, but for some reason I can't find it.

I just finished reading all of the books in the Hunger Games series, and I LOVED them. I always find it difficult to start a new book after I have just read a fantastic one, because I feel like I don't give it as much of a chance to "live up to" what I just read.

So what are you reading? Or what books have you read that you absolutely loved?

rayofsunshine99 · September 2011

I am currently reading the last book of the Merry Gentry series.

Recently, I read "Unbroken" which is a true story about Louie Zamperini - a WWII hero. The description is not one of a book I thought I would ever like or be interested in but it was for my book club so I read it and I have to say, am *so* glad did - it was by far one of the best books I've ever read! That man's life is/was so fascinating.

I am very into chick lit. I am currently reading Bitter is the new Black by Jen Lancaster. It is her first book and it is really funny. Now I have to get all her other books. Stick out tongue

I love authors like Jane Green and Sophie Kinsella.

mlynb · September 2011

I'm still reading the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I'm on book number 3. When I finish book 3 I'm going to take a break and read something else, but I haven't decided what yet.

liz4paws · September 2011

Currently reading: "Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home" by Lisa Ling and Laura Ling. Its the account of what happened with the Current journalists that were captured and held prisoner in North Korea in 2009. I'm fascinated by that country, and the book has been very interesting to say the least.

I also recently finished "Escape" by Carolyn Jessop. A personal account of escaping the FLDS cult. I recommend this one!!!

rellicdragon · September 2011

I am currently reading the second book in the Beautiful Creatures series (got it off daily deal on amazon and now I am so into it)

RaeDae29 · September 2011

Yup. The Hunger Games is pretty awesome. I am in the middle of Catching Fire and I can't wait to get home and finish it! SO GOOD!

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. It's hard to get into, but I've been told it takes a while, so I'm sticking with it.

I thought that it was a little slow at the beginning too, but the pace picks up and I really loved it.

I'm currently reading The Book Thief. Also very good so far.

OCfish82 · September 2011

"Sarah's Key" by Tatiana De Rosnay - good so far. I also just finished " The Shack" by Willaim P. Young, also very good.

PattersRN · September 2011

Currently reading?

Leadership and Nursing Care Management

Strengths Based Leadership: Great Leaders, Teams and why People Follow.

No, I'm not reading either of these voluntarily.

discobush · September 2011

Just finished re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone because I was so excited about finally getting into Pottermore.

I'm 34. Embarrassed

Have you read "Stolen Innocence"? It's also about escaping the FLDS. I liked it more than "Escape".

I am reading Catching Fire right now. I'd recommend:

The Help

Sarah's Key

The Sookie Stackhouse series

Unbearable Lightness

Reading Night Circus. I heard it's going to be the next big thing in the book world so pre-ordered it. They are already in talks for making a movie and say it will be as big as Harry Potter & Twilight. It's really good so far.

Haha I've been playing around on Pottermore, too!

I'm a nerd so I've been re-re-rereading The Hobbit. Every time I read it again, I'm blown away by the creativity and awesomeness.

amanda31H · September 2011

I'm reading The Paris Wife right now- kind of hard for me to get into, but I've been distracted lately.

I've also read The Help, Unbroken (gave that as Christmas presents last year), The Book Thief,and Sarah's Key. Hunger Games is sitting on my shelf.

I'd recomment The Kitchen House, and The Forgotten Garden. Those were 2 of my favorite books, besides The Help, that I read this year.

MamaWino · September 2011

This is embarrassing. I'm in the middle of the second Pretty Little Liars book. You know, the series for TEENS. ha.

SO TRUE. I also find myself sad that I'm not reading about the characters form the last book.. I don't want to let go. Hah.

I know it's pretty old news but have you read the Janet Evonovitch - Stephanie Plum series?

P.S. - We are both on CD6... Yeehaw.

MrsDizzyku · September 2011

I just finished "The Book Thief" a couple days ago, and I'm in the middle of a Dean Koontz kick--I can check out books from the library for our Nook and Kindle, so I have about six of his on there now. In the middle of "Life Expectancy" at the moment.

Amber1001 · September 2011

Just started reading The Help. Not really my kind of stuff but wth...! My mom gave me The Hymn of a Tiger Mother (or something like that) to read next...maybe a hint?!

LanaLewis:

i LOVE your siggy picture!!! probably one of the best wedding pictures I've seen in a long time!

Aw TY!! I love the one of your hubby dipping/kissing you. AFTER my wedding I read a tip somewhere on TK that you are supposed to let your hand fall like yours is to make the best dipping pic (with or w/o flowers) and I so wish I had known that before my wedding! haha. Yours looks beautiful!

keastman3 · September 2011

I just finished the Hunger Games and I loved it! I also loved The Help and Bossypants recently.

I haven't decided what to start next, but maybe a Nickolas Sparks book.

EMOmamma · September 2011

My last couple books were:

The Help, The Immortal Life of Henreitta Lacks (non-fiction), Shadow Zone (spy novel - meh), The Wednesday Sisters, Water for Elephants, and The Girl Who Played With Fire books.

I'm currently reading Game of Thrones and I'm starting Modoc - The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived during my lunch today (for book club even though I'm not done with GoT)

ansi29 · September 2011

I'm reading The Solitude of Prime Numbers, it's pretty good. Before that I read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, and The Worst Hard Time, which were both great.

It's still in beta and all the testing spots have been filled, so you can't get in now (sad!), but it'll be open to everyone in October.

This exactly. I can't believe I am admitting this, but after I read all four books in the Twilight series......twice......I couldn't pick up another book for months because I knew I would be disappointed. Embarrassed

I have not read the Stephanie Plum series, but I have heard it is good. I am glad so many people responded to this post! Now I can start making a list of things to download on my Kindle!

GL this cycle! I keep waiting for the phantom symptoms to start showing up now that I am 6DPO.....any day now I am sure. Stick out tongue

MiniSteph · September 2011

I am reading the Shining again. I love it!
