What are you reading?

I just finished Coraline and Grave Mercy by Robin Lafevers. I'm moving on to Anne of Green Gables next. What is everyone reading? Any recommendations? I usually have a few books going at once.

    I didn't read this, but I listened to Yes, Please by Amy Poehler on audiobook. I liked it a lot. However, I'm not sure the format works as well in the physical book. It jumps around a lot, so that may be why it received negative reviews. I didn't read them.

    But if you like Amy, I would recommend the audio version.

    If you like Anne of Green Gables, get the Emily of New Moon trilogy by the same author. It's fabulous. I just finished Don't Breathe A Word by Jennifer McMahon and that was good.

    I just got The Hunger Games on my kobo because I could get the trilogy for $5. I am so behind the times. I just looked and I literally have 12 books I haven't read but bought for my kobo. I love to read but never seem to make the time anymore. I hope to pick it up again.

    The last book I read was "Sickened". It's an autobiography about a girl who's mother had munchausen syndrome. Really good read.

    I'm reading The Round House by Louise Erdrich. It's really good so far.

    I really liked The Round House.

    Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, by Christopher Moore. I'm not very far into it, but it's pretty funny so far and came highly recommended.

    I haven't heard of this before, but the title makes it sound hilarious!

    I'm reading All the Light You Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. It's about a young blind French girl and a young German soldier in WW II, and involves the girl's family's efforts to keep a priceless diamond from being taken by the Germans. It's very well-written, and the story is really interesting so far.

    I'm on a book shopping spree now. DH wanted to read The Round House too so I went a head and bought it. I'll probably end up buying Yes, Please too. I put a hold on the Lamb book and the second book in the Graceling series.  I also checked out a YA book called Tennyson by Lesley Blume. There is something about it that reminds of V.C. Andrews. I miss the old V.C. Andrews books. I need to rebuild my collection.

    I really like her music but I didn't know that she wrote a book. I'll have to check it out.

    If you like non fiction, I'm really loving Mayflower. The first chapter or so is slow and I actually put it down for a couple months. Once they settle in the colony, it gets really good.

    I'm going to the library today to pick up Devil in the White City and The Monster of Florence. I have a weird fascination with true crime books. Both of these received good reviews so I'm excited to start them.

    Devil in the White City is one of my favorite books. I'd also recommend The Alienist if you haven't read it.
    The Alienist is one of my favorites!

    @shella923 The China Study turned my parents vegan.


    I am finishing up Rick Riordan's last Hereos of Olympus book. I loved this series. Next up is Death Comes to Pemberly since I just watched the PBS movie.

    I just started Fables. Still technically in the middle of The Help, but I keep forgetting to pick it up when I'm sober and alone. Those two things don't often go together.

    I get kobo daily deals so I have a huge list of unread books. I don't know where to begin though.
    I just finished all three of Gillian Flynns books.

    I'm on the third book in the Discovery of Witches series. I like it okay.

    I'm listening to Orphan Train on audiobook and I've been enjoying that.

    I'm in the middle of The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe. It isn't my favorite by him, at all, but I'm forcing myself to finish.  I just bought Bossypants by Tina Fey, and Mr. Mercedes and The Revival by Stephen King. Those are up next. 


    I think I'm getting the whole Outlander series for Christmas, so my lofty goal is to finish the former before them. 

    I also have the following in my stack...and I need to stop buying books so I'm forced to read them:

    Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
    Back to Blood - Tom Wolfe
    The Lacuna - Barbara Kingsolver

    Bossypants is really cute. And Catch-22 is an amazing book!

    I didn't even finish the first book. I just didn't like it. Maybe I should give it another try.

    The first book in the "Vampire Academy" series. So many feels for walking into the teen section to find it. I hear it's good though so here goes!

    It's been a long time since I read those but from what I remember it's really really good. I read the first two in a week.

    @nunzchucks‌ I'm kinda sad you don't love it. That series totally took over my life for the few days it took to read them all.

    @GotGingy‌ I'm half way thru The Elite and it's grabbed me a little more. Mostly I'm like "Just be a princess already!!"
