Ok, so seriously...

[Penny Springmann]

Just Finished: Wolf Hall
Currently: A guide to my new camera - exciting I know

Future: Bring up the Bodies

Loved the Game of Thrones series.
Robin, I was also bored by Outlander book 2, but a lady at the salon said that book three was so much better, so I might give it another shot.

 

[nikkiARNGwife]

Penny, Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies were my two favorite reads last year. I just loved them.


Currently: The Beggar King: A Hangman's Daughter Tale (3rd in series)
Up next: Shadowy Horses - I love all her books so much!

 

[tanyiadeskins]

I just finished the Maze Runner

Reading Now: Maze runner sequel... The Scorch Trials
Going to read Next: the third maze runner book... forgot its name
Next: I want to read Gone Girl
Next: and then I think I will probably go back to the Anita Blake vampire hunter series, I will be on number 11

 

[tanyiadeskins]

Finished Book Thief - now on to Atlas Shrugged.

Atlas Shrugged is a good book, have you read it before? Have you read anything else from her? I think The Fountainhead was my favorite

 

[tanyiadeskins]

I like to read books in a series back to back, so right now it's all James Dashner.

I finished The Maze Runner (#1) this morning
Started The Scorch Trials (#2) this evening
Next I'll read book #3 and then the prequel. I already have both of them downloaded from the library.

I saw there is two prequels now... I have to get them!

Reading Now: I just finished The Eyre Affair: A Thursday Next Novel by Jasper Fforde
It was fun, an odd mix of literary sci-fi/fantasy fluff.

Going to read Next: 11/22/63 by Stephen King

I'm not sure after that.

I could go on and on commenting on books but I'll spare you all.

 

[Robin Carlton]

I could go on and on commenting on books but I'll spare you all.

Please don't, I love when people babble about books!

Penny - I've heard the same thing about Outlander book 3 but I think I may have grown out of the series in my heart, so I dont know if I'll go back.

Darcy/Lydia - I LOVED the Book Thief. It's been awhile since I read it, but yeah, I really really enjoyed it!

Loved The Maze Runner, read it a few years back when it was the only book in the series out. Still havent started (or finished) the other books in the series but I am bad about that. I havent finished the Hunger Games series either.

 

[LJSDesigns]

I just finished the first two in a series by L L Bartlett. The Jeff Resnick Mysteries. He recently suffered a head trauma and now has flashes of visions. Liked them both.

Not sure what is next. Probably something already on my kindle. I am thinking Executive Privilege by Philip Margolin.

 

[Stacey42]

Keely - I love Jasper Fforde!! The whole Thursday Next series is so good and the Nursery Crimes one is a lot of fun, even if I did miss some of the allusions, like the guy who snips off kids' thumbs for sucking on them.

Wolf Hall & Bring Up the Bodies were wonderful. I'm eagerly looking forward to the last book even though I know Cromwell comes to an unfortunate end. Never thought I could find him a likeable character.

 

[Keely~B]

The Stand by Stephen King

One of my all time favorites.

The Book Thief

I love this book so much. I have bought so many copies to give as gifts. I talked Keiran into reading it recently and she wasn't sure at first and ended up really loving it. I like the story a lot but I love the language and the way it's written, just beautiful.

A Discovery of Witches

I enjoyed it but didn't think it lived up to the hype. I'll still probably read the follow ups from the library.

The Hobbit

Love. The majority of my pets growing up were named after Tolkien characters.

Atlas Shrugged

I was almost named after a character in In We The Living. I've read quite few Ayn Rand books. I'm keeping my lips zipped LOL

Gone Girl

That book was kind of crazy. I like that it was pretty ballsy, those characters were cray cray. I actually like Sharp Objects better.

Game of Thrones

Love these books. They are kind of an investment but I love them. I like the HBO series too but I like the books more, so much character and plot meat.

Wolf Hall

I wanted and thought I would love it, sounds right up my alley, but I just couldn't get into it. I borrowed it from the library and let it expire before I finished (rare for me) I may give it another go because it really seems like I should love it LOL

Outlander

Tried, couldn't do it. My mom thinks I need to try again. I keep telling her when she tries Here Be Dragons again I'll give it another go.

The Jeff Resnick Mysteries

May have to check those out.

Kate Morton since you liked the Thirteenth Tale.

Really enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale so I think I'll check out Kate Morton too. TY!

The Hangman's Daughter

Enjoyed the first two and will read the new release. I love that these have been bargain books LOL

Jasper Fforde!! The whole Thursday Next series is so good and the Nursery Crimes one is a lot of fun

I'm going to put some more Jasper Fforde on my list. I thought the first Thursday Next book was a lot of fun.

Some of my top books for 2012

The Night Circus by Erin Morgensters
Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
State of Wonder by Anne Patchett
The Magicians/The Magician King by Lev Grossman

 

[Robin Carlton]

Oooh Keely! I cant wait to read the Night Circus. I downloaded the sample on my Kindle and it was sooooo good!

 

[nikkiARNGwife]

The Chaperone - LOVED SO MUCH

The Soldier's Wife
<< this one is only 2.99 and another that I really enjoyed

 

[tsbegley]

I was actually disappointed with The Night Circus. I had heard a really interesting review on NPR so I was excited to read it. I think what bothered me the most was the switching back and forth between time frames. A little bit is good but I kept having to flip back to figure out where I was.

Currently reading Susanna Kearsley's Shadowy Horses. I absolutely inhaled her other books but I'm not as captivated with this one. It might just be that life is a little crazy right now .

Not sure what I'll read next. I have 50 or more books on my Kindle that I haven't read. I did put The Book Thief on my To Read list at Good Reads. Sounds awesome!

 

[adrianka]

LOL I'm also reading G.R.R.Martin. Finished Game of Thrones yesterday and started Clash of Kings.

I enjoy the Medieval England feel of it a lot.

I admit I was scared of the length myself - because I was afraid it was one of those endless(ly boring) sagas that are typical for some bad fantasy authors. I'm happy to say my fears were not grounded. So far.

Let's see how I like the other parts.

 

[nikkiARNGwife]

I think you either love The Night Circus or you hate it. I loved it...I thought the imagery was just beautiful and worth reading for that alone. It took me a few chapters to really get into it but once I did I raced through the rest.

Game of Thrones is one of my top 5 series ever. Martin just absolutely amazes me with the world he created. I mean..it's just incredible with the number of characters and plotlines. And FYI...don't get discouraged with Book 4 - A Feast for Crows...A Dance with Dragons more than makes up for any lagging in Book 4.

 

[jovi_girl]

Im reading Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion for my book club.
Then....gosh, i dont know, i have a crazy amount of books i bought last year that i still need to read, and a ton more that i really want to buy!
Down to you by M Leighton
Fallen too Far by Abbi Glines
Waterfall by Lisa T Bergren

Or i might start the Morganville Vampire series since i scored the first four books dirt cheap over christmas period. And its been forever since i read a vampire book.

 

[maryinaz]

I'm reading The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley. My Nook charger broke and it took me a while to do anything about it, so I haven't been reading. Glad to get back to it!

 

[Lindsay]

Right now, I'm reading Ever After, the newest in Kim Harrison's series, which has me glued to the book for the last four days. I'm also slowly working my way through Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard.

 

[*Celeste*]

i just finished mr. penumbra's 24 hour bookstore and i loved it.
read hopeless by colleen hoover - it was ok.
next up the light between oceans.

 

[JennNtheBoys]

I admit I'm a very picky reader, I find one author and I tend to stick with them until I get through all (or most) of their books before moving on to try and find another. Right now I am stuck on James Patterson books (and at the rate he goes I will never need to find another author! LOL). I am currently reading 4th of July, the 4th in the Women's Murder Club series, I really enjoy this series and have grown rather attached to the characters. Before that I read his first in the Witch & Wizard series, I really liked that because it was a light read since it is geared towards both young and old readers. I am eager to go on to the next one, but my son is reading the first now, so I'm just waiting for him to catch up so we can discuss it before moving on. As for the next and next and next, I'd really like to get caught up on the murder club series so I can be sure excited to run right out and get the new one when it comes out!

[Phoenix]

Hate to tell you this but I have over 150 'to be read' books on my iPad. That's how far behind I am and that's how often I see recommendations on my facebook! Anyway, currently I am reading Into the Hollow by Karina Halle. It is the 5th book in the series I think. And then I need to get into Inferno by Dan Brown. So much reading to do!
