What Are You Reading? January 2015
 

I noticed that there hasn't been a book thread in several months, so I figured I'd start one.


I am reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn on my tablet, and Julie Garwood's The Bride in traditional book form.

For the time being I'm reading a Game of Thrones graphic novel. They were a Christmas gift and although I haven't read graphic novels or comics for years, I absolutely love them.

Actually just started reading on my phone "Ten days in a madhouse" by Nellie Bly.

Got onto it by a funny on FB called "12 historical women who gave no f***s" and someone on the comment thread recommended it. Out of curiosity I had a look and it is fascinating.

That sounds really interesting.

I am slowly making my way through Les Miserables (on my phone, too, so there's like ~6000 pages lol) Its awesome so far, but I'm already in love with the musical so I'm biased :)

I just found out that Ten days in a Madhouse is being made into a movie - funny as I was thinking about it I thought it would make an awesome movie.

I have read Les Mis twice - once when I was 16 and once more recently - on my phone, which I actually found easier as you could make the text bigger and more spread apart so it was easier to read. In the book it was tiny so I struggled a bit with it.

It's worth it though.

The Difference You Make by Pat Williams

--book about leadership and influencing others- recommended by some friends of mine whom I respect.

-Daniela

I'm reading Wolff Hall in anticipation for the BBC series in April

One Step Behind - Swedish crime fiction by Henning Mankell

On Being Presbyterian - I forget the author's name

I'm reading both on my Kindle Paperwhite

I really liked the first two books in this trilogy and am looking forward to both the show and the last book.

Oh boy I didn't even know it was a trilogy. So much to look forward to!

Bring Up the Bodies is the second book. The third one will apparently be called The Mirror and the Light but I don't think it has a release date yet.

Good Calories, Bad Calories.

It's pretty good.

1st To Die by James Patterson


Great Read!!

Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein. An old favorite :)

I have been reading mostly manga, but I do pick short reads form time to time. I have the big books away for now.

I just finished the first Game of Thrones book - about 800 pages :dizzy: ! Now I am on to the next installment "A Clash of Kings". So far its as awesome as the first, and as I love the TV series its great reading the books - they are even better!

I've decided to read a classic...Watership Down. Someone told me it was really good.

Watership down broke my heart. Breaks my heart. Is heartbreaking. OH GOD THE MEMORIES... but yes, it is fantastic.


I'm reading The Golem and Jinni right now.
