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.

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.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3453052/
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.

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

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.
