Cinder Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Last: A Raisin in the Sun Current: The Turn of the Screw Next: Soul Surfer The first two are on ds1's summer reading list. The last book is on ds2's reading list. Since they're required to complete writing assignments with these (they're not homeschooled anymore) I try to read along in case they need someone to discuss with.

NanceXToo Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 :lol:Haha! The book I just finished was Hit List by Laurel K. Hamilton The book I am currently reading is (for my bookclub): The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I'm looking forward to the movie also. The book I plan to read next is: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin Apparently we have similar tastes. ;) LOL! That's funny! Then allow me to HIGHLY recommend JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series for more vampire stuff, and Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series cause it's just the best series ever! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleGreen Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Last: Mini Shopaholic (I know, I know, but I needed a success. I have so little reading time these days and am forever starting but never finishing things, so I wanted to pick something I knew would be easy to finish) Current: Just wrapping up No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers and Preschoolers (again) Next: Oh, my there are so many in the queue! I could go for something pure pleasure: Bloodroot is next up if that's the case. Something for school: The History of the Ancient World is up in that scenario. Some parenting inspiration: Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles (again, it's been a long time and I need a tune up as we enter the 2.5 burgeoning independent phase and the 5 year old's yelling) will be first up. I also have something about the difficulties public schools are facing from the library that looks interesting, so lots of choice, just not enough time!

They are lined up on my "favourites" section on my book shelves. :lol: Karen Marie Moning's urban fantasy Fever series is fantastic. The series is now completed so there is no horrendous waiting for more books after cliff hangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last book I read was A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin - 1st in the Song of Ice and Fire Series. The next book I plan to read is A Storm of Swords by George R.R.

Lady Florida. Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Last: The Hunger Games. It's on my Kindle so I decided to try it again. This time I read it and actually liked it. Still had trouble with suspension of disbelief and not sure if I'll read the rest of the series. Current: Jane Eyre. There's a "What are you reading?" thread on the Kindle forum each month, and last month a lot of people were reading or re-reading this. They inspired me to read it again. Next: Not sure. I was planning to re-read some Jane Austen before I decided on Jane Eyre. It will either be one of hers or O Pioneers, by Willa Cather. Current read-aloud (yes, my almost 14yo still likes read alouds): A Land Remembered, Patrick Smith. It's Florida historical fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 What book did you read last, what book are you currently reading, and what book will you read next? The last book I read was: Hit List by Laurel K. Hamilton (latest in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series). The book I am currently reading is: The Help by Kathryn Stockett. The book I plan to read next is: A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin (the third in the series- I loved the first two, waiting for this one to be available at my library). And just for fun, most recent Read Aloud in my house was: James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. Your turn! :lol:Haha! The book I just finished was Hit List by Laurel K. Hamilton The book I am currently reading is (for my bookclub): The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I'm looking forward to the movie also. The book I plan to read next is: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin Apparently we have similar tastes. ;) I'm joining Nance and Sara's Book Club :D. The last book I read was ShadowFever by Karen Marie Moning I am currently reading Fate (My Blood Approves Book #2) by self publishing wonder Amanda Hocking. Fluffy, YA vampire series, and a quickie read to gear me up for another "big" book after ShadowFever. My next book will be Echo in the Bone (to *finally* finish the Outlander series, 16 years after starting it), The Help, or Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind. I haven't decided yet. ETA: Currently family read aloud is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlbuchina Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The last book I read: "The Help" (wonderful by the way) I am currently reading: " Water for Elephants" Next book : "The Marva Collins' Way" (Returning to Excellence in Education) and currently "listening to" on audio while house cleaning: Janet Evanovich's "One For The Money" & Dr. Laura's "Parenting by Proxy" * By the way, The Help on audio was fantastic !! They use 4 different actresses to play out the various parts and it was the best audio I ever heard done ( with the various voices that is). I highly recommend listening to it, it is like listening to a stage play and it is Awesome !! * I have a HUGE TBR (to be read) pile that grows daily ! LOL! That's funny! Then allow me to HIGHLY recommend JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series for more vampire stuff, and Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series cause it's just the best series ever! :D Loved the book Water for Elephants. Movie was ok. Outlander series is the. best. ever. Can't wait for the next one to come out next year! I really need to check out the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I keep hearing so much about it. last-Harry Potter 7, The Reaf by Nora Roberts. Enjoyed it actually. Don't usually read her stuff. Current-forever by Maggie stiefvater. Came out on Tuesday! *squee*, Pride and Prejudice by Austen. Future-The Monstumologist by Rick Yancey and anything else I decide to pick up. Current read aloud-The Marvelous Land of Oz by Baum.
