I think she's just really, incredibly bright. No doubt, though, her work is polarizing.</p> <p>I'm reading "Seating Arrangements" by Maggie Shipstead, which is a nice, light read. I hope my book club likes it since it's my selection! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801953 Wed, 22 May 2013 19:19:20 +0000 Bao 801953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: haha ok, thanks :) good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801952 Wed, 22 May 2013 19:18:39 +0000 Ra 801952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: The first half is incredibly boring. The second half was much, much better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801948 Wed, 22 May 2013 19:17:54 +0000 Ra 801948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: I actually just finished it a few nights ago. It gets much better towards the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801860 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:33:59 +0000 Charm54 801860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished reading "Wonder" - it's geared for young adults but it is SO SO SO SO SO GOOD! A must read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801856 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:32:31 +0000 Lindsay05 801856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I am abouthalf way through it and its starting to get a little better. Still doesn't have me not wanting to put it down yet though. I also agree about the unnecessary vocabulary. My husband saw one page and was like wtf?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801811 Wed, 22 May 2013 17:51:52 +0000 fert 801811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>'Sex Lives of Cannibals'.

I loved the Princes of Ireland series/trilogy. If you haven't read them, and like historical fiction, I recommend those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801608 Wed, 22 May 2013 16:21:45 +0000 bunnylove08 801608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: I can send you the book if you want, just wall me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801596 Wed, 22 May 2013 16:18:19 +0000 Bao 801596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: I hope you like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801588 Wed, 22 May 2013 16:16:49 +0000 mrswin 801588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I just picked up my copy of the Storyteller today!

It was pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801583 Wed, 22 May 2013 16:14:31 +0000 Bao 801583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm now reading the storyteller, so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801579 Wed, 22 May 2013 16:12:13 +0000 Bao 801579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: oh that's on my to read list, is it boring? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-801563 Wed, 22 May 2013 16:06:13 +0000 lavender 801563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got Khaled Hosseini's new book 'And The Mountains Echoed'. I seriously can not wait to start it, his first book The Kite Runner is one of my fave books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-783126 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:51:12 +0000 Ra 783126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I usually like those kind of stories, too. The book is written in a series of letters from the mom to her ex husband. I am not a fan of the writing style the author uses and the fact that it is written in difficult language for the sake of using big words (unnecessary, in my opinion). I'm hoping it gets better when the mom stops talking about herself and it gets more into the psyche of Kevin and his crime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-783118 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:50:05 +0000 mjane 783118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Re-reading the Great Gatsby. I like it so much better than I did in high school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-783110 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:47:04 +0000 DillonLion 783110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Terrifying! But I thought it was really, really great. Those are my favorite kinds of stories, though. Not sure what you are into :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-783093 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:44:38 +0000 Ra 783093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: How was the movie?

It's really good, heartbreaking, but good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-782990 Wed, 15 May 2013 11:23:36 +0000 purrpletulips 782990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading: Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck<br /> Listening to Audiobook: The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom<br /> Just finished: The Incredible Life of Henrietta Lacks</p> <p>Waiting for Audiobooks: In the Garden of the Beasts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-782783 Wed, 15 May 2013 10:45:10 +0000 DillonLion 782783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Reading On the Island right now as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-3/page/2#post-782735 Wed, 15 May 2013 10:37:00 +0000 Pirouette 782735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I really like Tana French. I was a little disappointed in her most recent, but i loved the earlier books I read. I'm obsessed with detective/police procedurals that take place abroad (mostly Iceland and Sweden).</p> <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I just started in the garden of beasts this morning! Really enjoying it so far. </p>
