    I just finished reading a bunch of terrible books I could barely get through, but read at others' insistence. None worth mentioning.

    The last book I truly enjoyed was Piper Kerman's "Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison" (not sure if I have that title exactly correct). I've never seen the TV show that was made loosely based on the book, but I think it is VERY different from the book because I have heard the show's hilarious and the book is fairly serious and really, really good!

    My local library just ordered a book for me, that I am dying to read: "Fresh Off the Boat" by Eddie Huang. It is supposed to be good AND hilarious.

    I'm reading The Primal Blueprint, need to finish reading Lean In (business book), and I just finished Inferno (typical Dan Brown). Debating which Fiction book I want to read. I have one on my Kindle titled The Walk that I need to get to but I have The Barrens in paperback that I've been meaning to read forever... #bookwormproblems.

    The Dark Tower series by Stephen King if you have not read it. And if you have read it, be sure to read The Wind Through the Keyhole....its a new one that goes along with the series. Incredible.

    Besides my school books (clinical physiology, haematology, clinical chemistry) I'm currently reading "Operation Overlord, Day by Day." After that one I'm gonna read "World War II, Day by Day." I mainly read history and science books/magazines + comics (Donald Duck, Dilbert...) :D

    Divergent, House of Night books, Women of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong, Laurell K Hamiltons Anita Blake Vampire Hunter, and Merry Gentry series, Sara Shepards books such as Pretty Little Liars, & The Lying Game, Mortal Instruments, The Looking Glass Wars, Mogranville Vampires, Vampire Academy. I've got so many books on my ipad its insane. I think I had close to 1,000 books. Though I decided to go the mostly digital route, due to a house fire in 2012 that resulted in me losing all of my books that I'd spent 24 years (at that time) collecting. :(

    This ^ is what I'm currently reading for the umpteenth time. It is that good, in my opinion! I'm on the last book right now. I second the recommendation on The Wind Through the Keyhole, too. IF anyone chooses to read the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, be patient and keep in mind that the first book isn't the best at all. If you can get through that one, it's well worth the effort if you like fantasy/fiction/suspense/horror/supernatural all rolled into a story that is just so epic that I have lost count as to how many times I've re-read it.

    I am also reading Quofum, by Alan Dean Foster.
    I just finished reading Worth Dying For, by Lee Child and can hardly wait to get my hands on the next book in that series.
    Before that I completed NOS4A2, by Joe Hill, who is Stephen King's son. He writes very much like his father, but with fewer bad words, but just as much suspense.
    And The Mountains Echoed, by Khalid Hossein was quite good, but there are a lot of flashbacks in it, making it a little difficult to tell where the storyline is, time-wise.
    I have picked up and will re-read the Pip and Flinx series of stories by Alan Dean Foster. They are quite humorous and the author is bringing that series to a close.

    I just started reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, and the writing is incredible. I am trying to read more books in 2014 instead of mindlessly surfing social media.

    I've read these books so far this year, and I especially loved the first two:

    Wild by Cheryl Strayed
    She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
    Coming of Age in Mississippi by Anne Moody
    Desert Flower by Waris Dirie
    Run Like a Mother by Dimity McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea

    Also, the book The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick was very engrossing, I finished it in two days.

    I second the Dark Tower series ... in fact I think it's time for me to re-read it ... again.

    I'm in the middle of "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt. It's one of the best books I've read in a long, long time. Next up is "My Booky Wook 2: This Time It's Personal" by Russell Brand. I'm a big fan of his and I can't wait to start it.

    Just finished reading Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs. It's an urban fantasy story part of her Mercy Thompson series.

    The Black Dagger Brotherhood series - by JR Ward

    Awesome series if you're into PNR like I am. I would kill for a Brother that's a combination of Vishous and John Matthew. :laugh:

    Assassin's Apprentice - Robin Hobb

    My Goodreads to read list is entirely too long. It does not help that I add about 20 for every 1 that I read.
