MollySm · July 2012

I love to read, and I'm not sure I have a favorite book. I love Anne of Green Gables, so that's one.
I am currently reading 1, 2, 3 Magic. It's too early to use with Lucia but the oldest girl I nanny just turned 2 and is ready to start having some consequences. The terrible 2s are here!

cs1225 · July 2012

Favorites: She's Come Undone; For 'easy' reads, I like Harlan Coben books (love mysteries!)

Currently Reading: I just finished the Uglies, Pretties, Specials series and just started Gone Girl.

Love this idea - always looking for something new to read!

I read a lot. I don't know if I could name a favorite. I really like the Cheysuli series by Jennifer Robison. I'm raging the second Game of Thrones book right now.

Vii Lii · July 2012

It's so hard to pick favorites. I love HP, Hunger Games, and the Percy Jacksonbooks. I am currently rereading Stephen Kings latest novel about time traveling: 11/22/63

jldubb0626 · July 2012

I have so many! Let's see..

Series: Anita Blake; Vampire Hunter and Merry Gentry; Faerie Series - Both by Laurell K Hamilton, Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, House of Night Series by P.C and Kristin Cast, Harry Potter series, In Dead Series by J.D Robb which is Nora Roberts alias, any trilogy by Nora Roberts. Those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.

Currently Reading: Hunger Games. I got the series for Mother's Day and I've only made it through chapters 1 and 2. I even broke my own rule and watched the movie before reading the book!

ETA: Grammer

Oh, I love so many... Hunger Games, HP and pretty much anything by Jodi Picoult, Kristin Hannah, Nicholas Sparks... gosh, I could go on all day.

I'm currently reading Matched by Ally Condie. It's something I thought my daughter (14) might be into since she loved Hunger Games, so I wanted to check it out first. So far, so good!

Favorites: She's Come Undone; d!

One of my favorites as well! All time favorite is Jane Eyre, and I also adore The Time Traveler's Wife (couldn't bring myself to watch the cheesy romantic abomination that I hear was the film version). I am currently reading (and enjoying) The Art of Fielding - and I just finished Gone Girl (obsessed - couldn't put it down).

butterandeggs · July 2012

As far as series go, I love several mystery writers: P.D. James, Kate Atkinson, Louise Penny, Jacqueline Winspear. Funny that Molly mentioned Anne of GG, I'm re-reading all of those on my phone during night feedings. Otherwise, right now, I'm trying to catch up on magazines to de-clutter. So many books I want to read, though....

Matched is awesome! I loved it. I want to get the second one, but they didn't have it at my second hand book store.

Oh yes! LOVE Time Traveler's Wife. Definitely one of my favorite books of all time. I actually did enjoy the movie on that one, too, though. It was way different from the book (from what I remember... it's been a couple years since I've seen it), but it was still entertaining.

I LOVED The Uglies series. I know it's written for preteens/teens but I could care less. Soooo good, especially the first book.

MrsLindinger0905 · July 2012

Favorite: Harry Potter!!!

Current: 50 Shades, I'm halfway through the third book

runrinserepeat · July 2012

Favorite: I loved HP, but I've read Pride and Prejudice dozens of times. I also love just about anything written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He's magic.

Reading now: next on my list is In Defense of Food, but I haven't started yet.

anitavalkyrie · July 2012

I love HP! Also love the Stephanie Plum series, Kathy Reich's Temperance Brennan series, Patricia Cornwell books, and I'm not gonna lie, but I really loved Twilight.

I just finished The Hunger Games and now I'm re-reading The Other Boleyn Girl.

mkarns · July 2012

I'm the kind of girl who can't pick favorites. Sorry. HAHA I change my favorites like I change my underwear.

I just finished reading Defending Jacob for my (new) book club. It was great. I'm currently reading Outliers (still) and listening to Guilty Wives by Patterson.

Loooooooved The Uglies series! I read them 3 years ago! I think it's a great teen lot ESP if read in class. There is so much discussion about society and you can easily tie in some actual history of countries that attempted to control their people etc. kinda like Hunger Games. Alternative societies but can hopefully spark good discussions for teens!

Lawren · July 2012

What's your favorite book and/or series? Harry Potter is my favorite series, my favorite book is Redeeming Love.

ETA: The Book Thief is another one of my favorites.

What are you currently reading? Faefever. It's the third book in the Fever series.

hizah05 · July 2012

Ooh fun!

I'm not even sure I can pick a favorite book. I really loved Eat Pray Love, I think I may need to read that one again. However, I love everything from The Shining (I think I've read it 4 times) to Great Expectations (Also read several times). I have a degree in English Literature so this is hard for me!

Currently I'm reading The Night Circus.

I loved The Time Traveler's Wife! I did not like the movie. It's very rare I like a movie if I've read the book first though.

I haven't read Fifty Shades of Grey, but I would jump Barrons bones any day over Christian Grey's.

I think you and I could have some fun sharing books. These are some of my favorites too!

frasey · July 2012

I love the Sookie Stackhouse series - better than the TV show, but i like that too. I also loved Hunger Games series, and anything brainless such as the Shopaholic series, or anything by Emily Giffin.

Not reading anything right now, but I have the new Sookie Stackhouse on my Kindle ready to go, as well as a few mags to catch up on. Thankfully we're going to the cottage this weekend, so my mom can play wiht DD while I read!

mac&chip1 · July 2012

Favorites:

- Hunger Games series

- Vampire Academy series (think Twilight, but with a strong female character ? she's actually a vampire bodyguard)

- Anna and the French Kiss

- Harry Potter series

- Outlander series

Currently reading: the latest Sookie Stackhouse

Try the Delirium series. It's a similar theme to Matched, but better written/more interesting. At a certain age, everyone has to undergo a surgery to remove the emotion love.

First, that made me LOL. Second, I'm exactly the same way. I can never name a favorite anything.

However, Neil Gaiman IS my favorite author, no question.

Currently I am reading the Baby Whisperer book (meh). Before that I was reading A Series of Unfortunate events, because they are short and easy, and I could finish one a day, even with an extroverted baby who needs to know I am staring at him/ talking to him at all times.
