hsmamainva Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Tonight, I'll be pre-reading a few books for my oldest, but I'm right in the middle of A Storm of Swords and Stephen Fry's The Hippopotamus. I'm making my way through "A Feast for Crows" now. It's the slowest read so far for a George R R Martin book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnsinkableKristen Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Mystery on the Orient Express - Agatha Christie A History of the Ancient World - SWB 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey ** I fully expect all of these to take forever to read. I'm reading Orient Express on my Kindle while I wait to pick the kids up from school (only a few more days until I never have to do that again!), I'm ready Ancient World a chapterish at a time right before bed, and I'm reading 7 Habits a bit at a time and then chewing on it for a week or two. I need some good filler books for this summer though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Currently reading Just After Sunset by Stephen King. I need a little escapism right now so I am on a SK binge. I have about 7 of his books left that I haven't read. I don't know how many I will get through before I go back to my usual non-fiction fare.

NanceXToo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm reading the Black Jewel series by Anne Bishop. In a way, it reminds me of the Game of Thrones series with some of the plots and characters and happenings, but it focuses more on paranormal and magical characters. It says it's a trilogy but then I saw there were actually more books that came out surrounding the world and characters in the trilogy. So far I've read the first two and have the third and fourth on request through ILL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanne Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Beloved. I am starting a reading spree that involves reading from the contemporary classic group, but things *I* want, not what a Professor, Principal (for teaching), good Christians, or the needs of my family (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, homeschooling, parenting.....) dictate.

Mom in High Heels Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 This thread! ;) Seriously though, I just finished 2 chick lit books and am now reading a book called A Letter to Die For by Joe Shumock. My mom bought it for me at a "meet the author" event and got it signed. I've only just started reading it so I don't have much to say about it. The premise is interesting, but we'll have to see how well it's written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeindeed Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well, I just finished reading all the books in the Twilight series...;)yep, I finally caved.

I.Dup. Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Just finished A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller. It was just okay. I was expecting it to be a lot better based on the review it got in Kelle Hampton's book, but based on her style of writing I should have guessed it wouldn't exactly be my type of book.

Farrar Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 How are you liking that? It looks intriguing. I read it and ADORED it. One of the best children's books of the last couple of years, hands down. You know, sometimes context gets lost when you lose the layers of quotes... The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
