If it's a really good book I might stay up late to read it bed, but that rarely happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2565667 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 07:27:48 +0000 erinbaderin 2565667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KayKay: Oooh, a new Elin Hilderbrand! Thanks for the heads up on this one, hers are my favourite summer reading books! Now I just have to decide whether to read it right away or save it for the cottage.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2565598 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 19:04:43 +0000 mrsbookworm 2565598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished (and enjoyed) Modern Lovers.

Most of those fall into chick-lit/beach read categories. For "better" books, I loved Fates &amp; Furies and I'm currently reading Chuck Klosterman's new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2565499 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:25:59 +0000 hellobeeboston 2565499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: I've been listening to audiobooks on my commute, I miss reading real books but figure I'll get back to it eventually. Listening to them is great and makes my commute fly. I read all of the Game of Thrones books a couple years ago, so good!!</p> <p>I'm super late to the party but just started Outlander... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2565493 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:01:44 +0000 winter_wonder 2565493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: yes, from Amazon prime ☺ I know, I wanted to find out more about them raising the baby!

World War I era. Very good book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2565475 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:36:52 +0000 avivoca 2565475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I just finished it today and I loved it!

I've watched all the episodes and have forgotten a lot of the beginning and so the books have really helped me remember all the details! It's very interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2563835 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 13:04:35 +0000 Bao 2563835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: I've really cut back on TV. I read when LO is at school and LO2 is napping but with her last day of school being tomorrow that will cut 6 hours of reading out of my week. I read after they are in bed, too. </p> <p>How are you liking Game of Thrones? @regberadaisy: woohoo!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2563806 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 12:27:33 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2563806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently on the first Game of Thrones! I want to read all of them. I also want to read Me before You since I've heard it's good. </p> <p>Also, how do you all have time to read!? Do you sub reading for watching tv? The only reason I'm reading more is that my regular shows are over. I really only have a 1.5 hours after DD goes to bed for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2563783 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 11:47:04 +0000 regberadaisy 2563783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You just prompted me to check and see if maybe my library allows online renewals now. They don't but they do have a new elibrary card I can apply for online! It's only for digital items which is all I use it for anyway. Woohoo! Can take up to two weeks but I'll wait. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-reading-list-1#post-2563780 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 11:45:45 +0000 Bao 2563780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: @Miss Ariel: I have that book!

Really interesting, it had me hooked!</p> <p>I also just checked out "Fool me Once" by Harlan Coben from the library.
