I'm reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman which is fantastic but terrifying. And I had a really hard time with the first chapter because it involves a killer looking for a baby.

I just finished the Harry Potter series and I am reading Amy Poehler's book, Yes Please. I like it so far, but I'm a sucker for autobiographies.

I'm reading the latest in Sophie Kinsells's shopaholic series. I got it for Christmas and I just love fun, easy reads. "Chick lit" is my favorite, even though the name is dumb.

I haven't been reading just listening. I'm working my way through HP for the umpteenth time because I love them.
The pumping time I use for reading has turned into time I use for TCF.

I saw a trailer for The Fifth Wave and plan to read it @badwolf321.
I also think you (billyhorrible) recommended Confessions of an Ugly Step-Sister which I plan to listen to after HP.

This is on my list! I'm excited for Vegas Becky.

I cannot remember the last time I read an adult book. More power to you ladies! However, I recently discovered the Usborne children's books and its a good thing I didn't until after Christmas because I want to buy soooo many.

I am impressed with all of you ladies- by the time I finally have a second to sit down and read a book, I am usually too tired to keep my eyes open. Before I delivered B, I was about halfway through "room" and that's still where I am at. The first half was really really good though. I need to finish it. I also have Go Set a Watchman and The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks sitting on my night stand begging to be read. Hoping to get through them soon. I miss reading

I listen to books on audible while I'm showering and getting ready. Right now I'm listening to the Martian. When H and I go anywhere more than 5 minutes away, we listen to HP. LO seems to really like it and always quiets down when it's on.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is soooo good. Powerful, moving, incredibly interesting, funny, devastating, and real. I'm a terrible reader but I couldn't put that one down and it impacted me seriously.

gigi3126, how's the martian so far? I LOVED the movie. I can only assume the book is way better.

I'm really liking it so far. H recommended it, and he usually has good taste.

I'm reading the Nightingale right now. Started off great and I'm hoping to finish it next weekend when I'm kid free in the Keys. Not back to my usual reading pace yet though.
