What are you reading?

I'm 100 pages into "Waiting for the Enemy" by Brandon Davis Jennings who is a war vet.

Not gonna lie. I've already cried.

Started reading Game of Thrones....we'll see. After taking the past three weeks to watch all the episodes, it's sort of...odd to read it.

Started listening to Martin Short's memoir "I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend" which is really enjoyable so far. I love Martin Short.

I never read... but started Reading Love and Logic... hoping to help with my parenting!

As posted on Facebook I scored some George Eliot and Joyce Carol Oates from our neighborhood book exchangeuploadfromtaptalk1430946746050.jpg

Will probably finish the Eliott today.... We were the Mulvaneys? Anyone comments on that one? Is it worth my time?

Book 2 of the Outlander Series. I hope to get through 3 & 4 and a tornado book on vacation!

I finished The Thorn Birds on vacation. Read a light romance novel since that seemed appropriate for a Caribbean vacation, and I just started We Were Liars. So far it is a good, fast read. I'm about a quarter of the way into it.

Just finished "What Stands in a Storm" by Kim Cross. Boy can she weave an incredible story. It's about the severe weather and tornadoes that tore through Alabama in April 2011. If you have college aged kids, and maybe even if you don't, it's an emotional read to be sure. I highly recommend.

Now I'm moving on to "Pioneer Girl" an annotated autobiography of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

I'm not a fan of fiction typically.

Just finished another book DW brought home - Elena Ferrante's "My Brilliant Friend." And it was brilliant. Just reserved the next book in the (four part) trilogy.

That's been on my reading list.

I read a novella the other night - Neil Gaiman's "Odd and the Frost Giants". Fun read and I always love Gaiman's writing style. I started reading "The Ocean At the End of the Lane" last night as a counterpoint to "The Yard", which is about the beginning of Scotland Yard and a grisly murder (fiction).

Both excellent choices! (the Gaiman books - haven't read "the yard").

I'm absolutely SLOGGING through a totally obnoxious book, and I've lost track of why I'm forcing myself to finish it, maybe just to prove that I can? Unless it turns around significantly, which I doubt it will, look for my one-star review on goodreads as soon as I'm done!

I ordered that enitre Ice and fire series because I'm feeling impatient with the weekly releases of season five of GoT. I read through feast of the crows.

I will die a thousand deaths if Jon Snow becomes a white walker. I cannot handle it. *covering eyes like a small child* Why can't I break up with George Martin? I feel like a school girl who keeps hoping her boyfriend will make her happy someday. Ugh!

Martin loves to kill off people. It's hard to be part of his fanbase sometimes:

Not Jon though. Surely some characters are sacred. Right??

[MENTION=1048]Ladybug[/MENTION] - I fell down the GoT rabbit hole HARD in mid-April. Since then I've watched the entire series to bring myself up to date but also started reading the books. I'm a little over halfway through A Game of Thrones and while I knew that the first season(s?) of the show had stuck pretty closely to the first book(s?), I didn't realize how much reading the books would have enriched my experience watching the show.

I am normally not at all into fantasy - I HATE LOTR and while I liked HP, I wasn't OMGSOCRAZY about them, and I liked the books far more than the movies. I can take the movies or leave them, TBH (braces for tomatoes) but GRRM has written a world that is really vivid and perhaps that's helped by the fact that I've seen the show...fantasy for me is often hard to visualize because I just can't get into the way I can with other fiction. I have to say, I expected the writing to be a little better (I am admittedly judgmental about writing sometimes) but after a few chapters it didn't register to me that the writing wasn't spectacular - it's good, don't get me wrong...but not amazing. By comparison, the dystopian fantasy world painted in the Hunger Games was something I couldn't ever get into because the writing was so poor IMO I couldn't get into fantasy-mode to really let it capture me.

I am currently on the third Harry Potter book. It is my first time reading the series. I do love getting lost in a good book I am yet to get into audiobooks although my partner loves them...he says med school killed reading for him and now audiobooks are his only option
