What Are You Reading JAN 2013
 

Happy 2013 Everyone! Please share what you are reading so we can grow our ever growing lists. I am aiming for 2 books read a month this year. And lots of maintaining weight loss!

But, at the moment I am reading Safe Haven from Nicolas Sparks. Been good so far.

Safe Haven

Starting The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig today. My cousin lent it to me, not my usual choice, but I need a fun read.

I have a whole pile of books that I have let get out of control. I need to finish the Hunger Games Trilogy.

I plan on reading more this year. I have a huge pile of books to get through.

I'm reading Bill Bryson "I'm A Stranger Here Myself".

Then I will read Tony LaRussa's book "Last Strike". Hopefully I will get him to autograph it at Winter Warm Up. It's a baseball thing. :)

I am finishing The Hobbit. I'm not sure what will come after, I've got one too many books to choose from and I was just given a B&N gift card so now I want to go shopping!

Reading Alice in Wonderland, in German. when I say reading, I mean struggling with ... my grasp of German is that of a six year old, right now!

That's one of those books that I started and will never finish. Really boring for me.

Reading Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore. It's something totally different than what I usually read. :)

I'm Down by Mishna Wolff. Laugh out loud funny, literally.

I have such a pile to get through, nevermind about 100 on my kobo!

I'm working my way through a 1200 page biography of Spencer Tracy right now. After that I hope to tackle the gigantic history of the mob I got for Christmas and catch up on my Christopher Moore.

Choke by Chuck Palahniuk

City of Bohane by Kevin Barry. I'm really enjoying it. Unique(ly) familiar and utterly stylized world, with an argot that is perhaps 10% Irish and 90% invented, but feels substantive, real, and lived in, particularly 1/2 through when I finally figured out who "Sweet Baba" is. Ha! Clever, Mr. Barry.

Though I find the female characters to be much more thinly drawn than the male characters, and there is an underlying, essential and unquestioned chauvanism in the narrative that bothers me when I slip back out of the world.

The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Ammonite by Nicola Griffith :)
