What are you reading?

[Meg]

Just finished Bloodline by James Rollins. I think my thoughts on it can be summed up as: :nailbiting: :jawdrop: :woot: :thumbsup:

And now I'm on to Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood. :happy:

 

[EA9Sol]

I'm currently reading a digital version of The Last Wish. So far it's very good. I can't wait to read more. :3

 

[Rebel Dynasty]

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Not too far into it yet, but liking it so far (and naturally, I adore Gaiman's work).

Edit to avoid double-posting:

Now I'm reading...

 

[Rebel Dynasty]

Finished Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, Book Four) by Jim Butcher, and now reading Vicious by V.E. Schwab.

Guys. Guys. This book. My god, this book is amazing. I think I need it more than sleep. O_O

 

[TWOxACROSS]

Over the fall I was enjoying a reread of How Does a Single Blade of Grass Thank the Sun? by Doretta Lau, and I'm currently getting into the thick of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Next up to bat will be Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson :3

 

[Rebel Dynasty]

The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells (it's been years since I had a copy!) ^^

Edit: And now I'm onto Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. (I'm sure it will be loads better than the movies).

 

[Demi-fiend]

The first one wasn't completely horrible...

The first one wasn't completely horrible...

I haven't gotten too far, yet. So far it isn't bad. I wish I hadn't seen the movies to be honest, though. It keeps screwing me up when it comes to picturing the characters, and whatnot. >.> Hopefully each book gets progressively better, because I sort of own the boxset, lol.

(What did you find off-putting about it? Was it just not your cup of tea story-wise, or was it the narrative from a 12-year-old's POV?)

... It had a lot of (wasted) potential.

That's probably what got to me the most.

Uh-oh. ^^; This is one of those times where I hope I'm an easier reader. Could be that Rick Riordan explored that potential, if not later in the Percy Jackson/Olympian series, then in one of his others. (He has tons centralized in mythology).

 

[Angel]

About to order some books about Shinobi, Samurai and Feudal Japan, so that's what I'll be reading very soon

 

[berto]

Call of Cthulhu.

Not my cup of tea.

 

[Angel]

Ninja AD 1460-1650 by Stephen Turnbull

 

[Rebel Dynasty]

Death Masks by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files, Book Five).

 

[AzureNight13]

Fairy Tail chapter 468.... Damn you Trollshima!

 

[Rebel Dynasty]

"Followed By Frost" by Charlie N. Holmberg

Edit: Have since started and finished "The Magicians of Caprona" (Book Two in the Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones) and I am now moving on to Book Three in the series, "Witch Week". ^^

Edit again: ._. On Book Two of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters".

 

[Rebel Dynasty]

Finished Cinder by Marissa Meyer a couple of days ago. And now on A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab.

[La Femme Fatale]

The Secret.

You know you watch too much Oprah when...

 

[Meg]

Most recently, I read the Inferno, Art of Living, and Siddhartha. I'm now on to Purgatorio. I'll take another break after I finish it before reading Paradiso.
