    I'm a bit of an oddball. I'm currently reading Zombies, a collection of zombie short stories, and rereading Jane Eyre. I like a bit of variety I suppose.

    I am the same way! Currently reading World War Z, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and The Beginning of Everything(A Young adult) all at the same.

    I love variety!

    Just finished "Persuader" and "Wanted Man" both by Lee Child and listening to "Merry Christmas Alex Cross". I drive a long distance to my job so most books I listen to.

    Just finished Yesterday's Gone Part 3. It is a serialized zombie apocalypse tale that I am really enjoying. Like some others here, I buy kindle books as a weight loss reward so I have to wait for another 5lbs to drop off before I get part 4. :ohwell:

    LOL Yeah, I am a little shocked that this is my list right now. My friends had fun picking out random books for me to read off of my kindle. Only one of them is a paper based book.

    I just started Life after Life by Kate Atkinson. I am taking it slow as I have finished reading all her other stories so once this is done there won't be another

    Last two books were The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty which was excellent, and before that the Rosie Project by Graeme Simison about an man with Aspergers trying to find love (highly recommend that one).

    Hanging out for the new Margaret Atwood book which completes the Onxy and Crake and Year of the Flood triology and is released this month.

    Just finished 'Transatlantic' by Colum McCann.

    Currently reading (and very much enjoying) 'River of Stars' by Guy Gavriel Kay

    I'm doing the 50 Book Pledge (http://www.50bookpledge.ca/bookshelf/503081719k#_=_) so I have most of my books picked out to the end of the year. Next up is likely either 'The Bookman's Tale' by Charlie Lovett or 'The Curiosity' by Stephen Kiernan.

    For non-fiction I'm reading 'Smart Girls Do Dumbbells' by Judith Sherman-Wolin
