Books: Are you reading anything?

I just finished reading Deayeye **** (by Kurt Vonnegut,) the story of a young boy who commits double manslaughter with a single shot. It's a very lightweight novel and a quick read.

In audio, I just finished a children's (ages 8-12) book, The Bell Bandit (by Jacqueline Davies; narrated by Stina Neilson.) The story is a about bell that goes missing from the farm of two children's grandmother. I have no issue with the narration; but quite a bit with the writing: It's indulges into dark emotions like hatred and animal cruelty which was too much for my daughter (who stopped listening.)

I'm currently reading The Age of Innocence (by Edith Wharton) as a part of a personal challenge to read a few of Wharton's novels this year.

In audio, I'm listening to A Cold Day for Murder (by Dana Stabenow; narrated by Marguerite Gavin,) a mystery set in Alaska.

Next Up: The Great Gatsby (by F. Scott Fitzgerald)
I can't remember if I've actually read this or not! If I have, it's been so long ago that it will be new-to-me :-D

Next Up (Audio): The Shape of Water (by Andrea Camillieri; translated by Stephen Satorelli (?); narrated by Grover Gardner,) a mystery set in Italy



Exercising a little of the mind as well as the body! :-)

Just finished Stephen King's Under The Dome though. Love Stephen King.

CBS, Steven Spielberg, and Stephen King are making this into a TV series set to come out this year.

The Time Traveler's Wife!! So good... and since it's broken up into so many little episodes or chapters, it's so easy to pick up when I have a few minutes.

Always by Carol Rose, for book club!

"I Shall Wear Midnight" - Terry Pratchett

OMG!!!! Love, love Vampire Academy! Rose is an awesome character, strong but not without flaws. Just too good. I think the other series is Temeraire, right? If it is the book is good, but for some reason I found it hard to read.

I just finished Partials and it was GOOD, not OMG I can't stop thinking about it kind of good, but I still recommend it.

Yep the Temeraire series, I've reread each book at least twice, and found new information each time. It is a challenging read, but sooooo good!

I have read all of the Vanessa Davis Griggs books, can't wait for her newest one to come out now....I also read the Book-Night Hawk by Beverly Jenkins that one was pretty good and The Haunted Rectory by Katherine Valentine. I like the Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear books and I liked the book-I Don't have enough Faith to be an Athiest by Norman Geisler and Frank Turek.

I'm reading: "I heard you paint houses" Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran and Closing the Case on Jimmy Hoffa

My goodreads challenge is 18 but I am hoping to read 2 a month. I only read on the bus to/from work and on my half hour lunch break. At home I read magazines. Sometimes I'll read my books on weekends if I have some extra time or am close to finishing.

Currently reading Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire and waiting for Scarlet by Marissa Mayer (e-book version on hold at the of my local library)

sorry for the double post...hit the wrong button.
