Now that we're all getting a little more settled with our LO I realize that I might be able to function well enough to read. I usually read 2-4 novels a week in the summer but have been slacking. I figured y'all could direct me toward some good reads
So, what are you reading?
Anything amazing you would recommend? Or tell us never to open?
I am still nowhere near being able to read (newspaper takes all day, and I have been reading the same magazine for a week) but following this space for suggestions!
I have a subscription on my amazon kindle app but haven't gotten around to finding anything I want to read. Maybe I'll go hunting for a good book tonight.
I've been reading book 5 of GOT for awhile. I was listening to it during my commute to work then the season finale was on and everyone on FB ruined it by posting. So I got it and tried to finish reading it before Owen got here. I started reading it again today.

I enjoyed The Girl on the Train, even though none of the characters were very likeable. I adore Rainbow Rowell lately, particularly Fangirl. Landline was also a good read.
Yay! I'm glad this was started. I'm falling behind on my reading. I use goodreads to track what I read and get suggestions but I'm thrilled to see what others are reading and get suggestions. I find I tend to get stuck in my rut unless someone suggests something.

PurpleIris I just started girl on the train and my only impression I have so far is that I hate everyone! I have 20 days to read it because I got it from the library. The pressure...
I got about halfway through Room the week before we had our son, and I haven't touched it since. I'd like to finish it soon because I have 3 more books waiting on my bedside table. Up next is the new Harper Lee book- Go Set a Watchman, and then I've got the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks and The Happiest Baby on the Block
I just started Gone Girl. My inability to read two pages without falling asleep while pregnant has put me waaaaay behind on my reading list.
It's AMAZING!!! Keeps you guessing the whole time
I'm headed to B&N this weekend to get Go Set A Watchman, the sequel to To Kill A Mockingbird. I'm way too excited about it...DH has been making fun of me for being such a teacher/nerd.
I'm about to start Still Alice. My mom died from Alzheimer's so I know this is just going to be a huge cryfest for me.
I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. I saw previews for the movie and knew I'd have to skip it-Alzheimer's gallops through my mom's family and I'm super sensitive to movies and such about it. I only ever saw The Notebook once because I started sobbing uncontrollably when I tried to watch it again knowing the end of the story.

This is a great thread. I don't think I have read a book for myself in about 3 years so I will have to check out some of the ones mentioned here. Keep 'em coming ladies!
I really enjoyed The Boys on the Boat, which is non-fiction about the 1936 men's olympic crew team. It's a really good read.
My dad just finished reading it and I was thinking of borrowing it to read as well. Thanks for the recommendation
I hope you enjoy it! I've recommended it to a few people who have looked skeptical about the subject, but they've all liked it. It waxes a little poetic about rowing, but those parts are brief.

I love Goodreads! I've read so many books I never would have discovered on my own!
Currently I'm reading A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson. It is a follow-up to Life After Life which I highly recommend. Ruins has started kind of slow, but I'm hoping it picks up some.
