Could be fun to do this on Wednesdays and open up some new convos! NO SPOILERS in this thread, please! Start a new one to dish.  

1/28/2015 - What Are YOU Reading? 

[Deleted]

I am currently reading A Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop. It's the second in her Others Series and I am super hooked. I can't wait to go home tonight and read moar!

Based on the description, I wasn't sure I'd love it. It's an Alternate Universe Urban Fantasy. If you're looking for a read that sucks you in and keeps you in, this is a good one!

[owlishbookish]

I love it! I used to do this on my review blog. It's a common and fun meme.

I am reading Waistcoats & Weaponry by Gail Carriger (70% finished) and Let's Pretend This Never Happened (48%) by Jenny Lawson

Same.  It became too much pressure in the 3rd year, though, and I was having medical problems, so I "retired."

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, by Seth Grahame-Smith
Gryphon Precinct, by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Memoirs of a Crimefighter, by Seth Andrew Jacob
Care of Wooden Floors, by Will Wiles

I finished Of Ducks and Universes, by Neve Maslakovic, earlier today. setsuna17 it was a somewhat absurd mystery involving alternate histories that reminded me a little bit of Thursday Next stuff given the alternate history and whimsy in those.

Thanks! It's my two favorite things.

I am still on the Highland Henchman by Amy Jarecki. I am about 25% in and really like it. Work has been busy which cuts into my reading time this week. Boo! I hope to get more read this weekend.

[elsiemae]

I am over 2/3 finished with And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. I'm really enjoying it so far. He is one of my favorite authors.

[TheEleventhHour]

I stayed up until 1 a.m. finishing Gone Girl. I may start a separate thread because I have a lot of feels about it. I am about to start Little Big Lies by Liane Moriarty.

[somethingcleverer]

I just finished The Girl You Left Behind by JoJo Moyes. It was really good.

[kat5040]

I'm still working on Watership Down. I'm about half through and it's so good. Wish I didn't have to do things like school work and sleep so that I could just take care of DD and read.

[legitsince86]

I just finished The Good Girl by Mary Kubica. I can't recall if I got the rec here or on GR. It was really interesting.

[nutmeg8484]

I'm struggling to get into Mistborn: the Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson. I keep hearing nothing but great things about it from the Booksplosion read along group so I'm trying really hard. This cold isn't helping my attention span any though.

[marebeardvm]

Literally just finished Red Rising by Pierce Brown I really liked it.
Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky about 25% through
Frankenstein (audio) maybe 40%?

[Unknown]

Still reading The Fiery Cross, but I'll have to put it down to read P&P.

[kmmd]

I'm reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks with the CD board. It is a great read!

I'm also about halfway through the Book Thief and I'm loving it too.

Have you read Me before You? I didn't know she had another book!

eta: Oh my, what a noob. She's prolific!

[Irishcurls]

The Hot Zone by Richard Preston (oldie about Ebola that I never got to)
The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age NY by Deborah Blum (non fiction)
Technically Pillars but I'll have to list that for the next eleventy Wednesdays if we keep this up so....

Today I finished a free ebook romance that was a B- called Lost in Temptation.

[Chrisse]

I just finished Burned by Karen Marie Moning today. It wasn't the book I wanted it to be.

[ceebug]

I'm reading
The Night Circus
Dad is Fat by Jim Gaffigan - I pick it up whenever I need a laugh. I think I am about halfway through.

I need to finish The Scortch Trials. Has anyone read it? It started to give me nightmares, but I'm curious about the rest of the book. I'm debating picking it up again.

[joi922]

This morning I finished Case of Lies - a legal thriller. Three of the characters are studying math at MIT and I have to admit I found the (presumably very superficial) descriptions of the theoretical mathematics more interesting than the thriller part of the book.

Since we hadn't decided on P&P yet, I started reading Relative Danger by Charles Benoit. A man is asked to solve the 50-year-old murder of his uncle, a jewel thief. Harrowing adventures around the world ensue. I'm about 60 pages (out of 260) in and am pretty sure I've already solved the mystery. Luckily it should be a quick read.

I had no idea she had so many books until I looked her up on goodreads this week! I read Me Before You and loved it, it was a little better than the Girl You Left Behind but both were enjoyable reads. I think I'm going to read One Plus One soon too. A couple of my facebook friends recommended after seeing my goodreads update.

I'm reading The Hangman's Daughter -- one of the choices for this month's book, and it piqued my curiosity. I'm only 25 pages in, so we'll see. I like it so far.

I'll start P&P soon.

Isn't that truth. I was so disappointed.

[tribute17]

I'm reading The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey. 25% or so right now. It's ok but I think it will pick up. Just setting the plot right now. I really liked the 5th wave so hopefully it won't disappoint.

Ugh. You could tell that KMM'S heart wasn't in it. I didn't really care for Iced, either. She should have just left it at the original 5 books.

This book was my EVERYTHING when I was 20.

I'm scared of this book because I loved the first Mac/Barrons books SO much.
