Whatcha' readin'?
Permalink  
 


I have about 50 pages left of Love in the Time of Cholera.  It's pretty bad.

 

Up next is Gone Girl and then What's a Christian to Do With Harry Potter?  I don't normally plan books out like that, but I borrowed them both, so I want to get them back to their owners as soon as I can.

I liked Love in the Time of Cholera.
I just started reading a book about Little Richard. It's presented as a biography but it seems to be mostly an oral history told by Little Richard himself. So far it's interesting.
Before that I read an Agatha Christie, one of the Marples.

I am reading and about finished with "The White Princess" then I am starting either the new Nicholas Sparks book or "This book is filled with spiders" the sequel to "John Dies at the end". I am also reading a cheap Dean Koontz paperback at the pool in case it gets wet which it is the same one I read last year at the pool and it did get very wet. I finished the summer pool season about halfway through it so I got to finish the other half. It is called "Sole Survivor". I also got to read still "Dr.Sleep" and I just ordered "The Constant Princess"

It's been so long since I read "Love in the Time of Cholera" I don't really remember it. I read "Book Thief" just after Christmas. Very disturbing. Just finished Rob Lowe's latest. Funny man, great story teller, and pictures! I just bought 4 books at the used book store, but I don't remember what they were. I also have 6 or 7 issues of Rolling Stone magazine and 2 books on my Nook to catch up on. Finding time to read can be a challenge - I can knit while watching TV or a ballgame; can't do that with a book.

winds, that's why I've fallen behind on crochet! I'd rather read than watch tv some nights.

Winds- is the book "The book thief" good? I watched the movie and really liked it besides it being super depressing.

The Book Thief is excellent. It is depressing and disturbing. As it should be, considering the story matter.

I'm not sure if it would be that good if you've seen the movie, though. Depends on what changes they made.

I also really enjoyed The Book Thief. Well, maybe not enjoy, as it was pretty dark, but I was engrossed by it and it is a fantastic read.

I will probably have to read it one day and see how it compares to the movie

I just finished a YA novel called "Panic." It's set in a small town where the high school seniors complete a series of dangerous tasks over the summer after graduation. The prize is lots of money, but the risks are deadly.

I loved Rob Lowe's first book!

that Panic book sounds interesting. I am considering giving the divergent series a try.

 They are very quick reads. I haven't seen the movie, though.

Gone Girl was amazing! Five stars, definitely.

 Glad you liked it. Actually, I've read all 3 of her books & Gone Girl was my least favorite...

I am a couple chapters into "This book is filled with spiders". It is pretty good so far. I also bought "The fault in our stars" .
