So here's what's new in my reading world

Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane by Suzanne Collins

I must have enjoyed it because I already have the next one on my nightstand!

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

I have had this one on my Kindle for a while and finally got around to reading it. It wasn't my favorite book ever, but it was enjoyable.

What a talented writer...

Anyone who has had a conversation with me in the last year that had anything to do with books knows how much I loved Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I enjoyed Catching Fire just as much and can't wait for book 3. But in the meantime I have to be content with reading other things so I decided to try Suzanne Collins's Gregor series. It didn't grab me as much as her others but I did REALLY like:

Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins

and am headed to the library tomorrow to get books 2 and 3. This woman is a talented writer and I am definitely ready to read another Underland adventure!

This was a long one...

I have been waiting and waiting for this book but remembered why there is so much time between publishings of the books in this series - they are long! But I did enjoy (almost!) all of the 800+ pages and will (im)patiently wait for the next one!

An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon

Slowing down

I am in the middle of a 900 page book, so there is not much action in the "completed" category! I did finish

The Idiot Girl's Action-Adventure Club by Laurie Notaro.

This one was funny. Not as funny as "Flaming Tantrum of Death", but still funny.

And maybe I have read something else. Or maybe not. Maybe I will remember someday...I did read two People magazines - that is some quality literature, you know.

This makes 48...

books read so far this year. I was hoping to read a lot more than the 55 I read last year, but it looks like I am right on track to read just about the same number. So number 48 is...

Ransom by Julie Garwood

Reading...

2nd Chance by James Patterson and Andrew Gross
3rd Degree by James Patterson and Andrew Gross
It looks like reading the first one for book club has sucked me in...

Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich
I was already sucked into this series...more of the same, but still entertaining! Any book that makes me laugh out loud is worth my time!
