Not a book I'd pick up (the woman who recommended it to D said if he liked Firefly he'd love this book), but he loved it and asked me to read it and has been bugging me to start it, so I figured I could give it a shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14/page/2#post-2264806 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 06:45:14 +0000 Pumuckl 2264806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished "The Rosie Project" too. Loved it, it was a very fun read and I'll read "The Rosie Effect" next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14/page/2#post-2264753 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 23:07:41 +0000 Ra 2264753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Have you read "And the Mountains Echoed" yet? It's Khaled Hosseini's latest book. I loved that one, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2264749 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 22:46:34 +0000 autumnlove 2264749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I have the sequel on my library wait list!

I have two books I just got from the library this week that I'll be reading; All the light we cannot see and Girl at war. I really liked the book thief as well. </p> <p>Also reading Burn the fat, feed the muscle. Ha.</p> <p>@autumnlove: loved that one so I got the sequel- but it's moving really slow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2264152 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 10:47:10 +0000 Keybee 2264152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just started The Paris Wife, so far so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2264133 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 09:41:37 +0000 IRunForFun 2264133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Oh I interviewed that author!

Both were absolutely captivating! </p> <p>Also just read "I Remember Nothing" by Nora Ephron for a lighter, quicker collection of essays. Definitely been on a summer reading binge. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2264075 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 02:30:04 +0000 sera_87 2264075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just finished reading A Court of Thorn &amp; Roses - Sarah J Maas, Invasion of the Tearling - Erika Johansen &amp; am currently reading Cruel Beauty - Rosamund Hodge. </p> <p>July wasn't much better - I only read Mr. Penumbra's 24 hour bookstore, Undertow, End of Days &amp; The Mermaid's Sister. </p> <p>It's criminal how little I'm reading these days :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2264074 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 02:10:40 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2264074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't like Orphan Train either!

I'm also finishing H is for Hawk, which is good but not my favorite - a little bird-heavy/navel-gazy for my taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263589 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 11:25:06 +0000 Chillybear 2263589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I liked Orphan Train (though rather sad)... hubs just gave me "Go Set a Watchman" by Harper Lee for me to start this weekend. I love anything Denis Lehane (esp the Kenzie &amp; Gennaro series) and James Rollins (Sigma Series) They're fun reads with great characters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263519 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:26:17 +0000 mrsjazz 2263519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just finished After Birth, really interesting, weird, and resonating. It's about women and relationships after having a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263518 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:26:14 +0000 lamariniere 2263518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm about 100 pages into The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. It's slow but intriguing. I haven't had a lot of time to just sit down and get into the story yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263516 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:22:19 +0000 josina 2263516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the Orphan Train, I think I liked it, lol, but had to look it up to remember what it was about so must not have been that good!<br /> Have you read The Girl on the Train? If you like murder mysteries you'll like that one. Similar style to Gone Girl. I finished that one last week.<br /> The Martian I read recently as well, couldn't put it down!<br /> Currently reading Graceling, but just started so no opinions yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263500 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 10:14:09 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2263500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: yes I forgot about that one.

She's great!@rosegold: I've always loved Bill Bryson-I read In a Sunburned Country before I went to Australia and loved learning Aussie history with great humor mixed in.<br /> @Mrs.Bee: there's a sequel to The Rosie Project that came out in December! I think you'd like:). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263166 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 23:05:52 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2263166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: great taste-I read everything Lianne Moriarty wrote (Husband's Secret, Last Anniversary, What Alice Forgot, etc.) while I was nursing my son around-the-clock as a newborn. I also loved the Rosie Project and Effect!</p> <p>@knittylady: Just read The Luckiest Girl Alive and Girl on the Train. Didn't much care for the former, and liked the latter but wasn't as obsessed with it as many others seem to be. Did you read Jodi Picoult's newest book, Leaving Time? Loved it. I'm waiting on a few digital library loans, one of which is Go Set a Watchman. Happy Reading! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263142 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 22:05:01 +0000 hellobeeboston 2263142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: did you read Big Little Lies?! That was also great. That was my first Moriarty book and I just finished What Alice Forgot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263136 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 21:54:00 +0000 autumnlove 2263136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crazy Rich Asians! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263115 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 21:34:19 +0000 rosegold 2263115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: i've recently become very interested in bill bryson. neil gaiman is a favorite fiction writer of mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263099 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 21:16:09 +0000 Freckles 2263099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263076 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 21:01:27 +0000 Pancakes 2263076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: If you like literary fiction, those will be good picks for you, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263058 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:35:33 +0000 yoursilverlining 2263058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just started the Girl on the Train. Ok to pretty good so far. Definitely an easy, quick read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263049 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:30:47 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2263049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just read The Nightingale. It was really good!! Now I've got a bunch to read from the library</p> <p>The Rosie Effect<br /> Night Road<br /> before I Go</p> <p>And a couple others I forget!</p> <p>The best books I've read lately (maybe ever?!) were The husbands Secret (so good!) and What Alice Forgot (even better!) I couldn't put them down and still think about them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263028 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:08:06 +0000 Mae 2263028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: I have not seen the movie. I have not seen many movies since LO was born :) But I'm sure at some point it will be at red box and we'll rent it. I think it would be a better movie. It isn't that it wasn't a good story. The book just gets sooo much into his childhood and when he comes home and just.... it was too much IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-14#post-2263025 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:06:04 +0000 tlcbaby 2263025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Did you see the movie Unbroken, too? I liked the movie. </p>
