Couldn't wait for the next movie after seeing Catching Fire. </p> <p>I just borrowed the first of the Sookie Stackhouse books (True Blood). I've heard they're good and could use a semi trashy book right about now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6/page/2#post-1356594 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:10:01 +0000 bookwormmama 1356594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had several long driving trips and recently listened to Legend by Marie Lu and are in the middle of Prodigy. I have the third one (Champion) on hold. The series is really really good so far. It's a YA distopian novel. I would recommend listening to it, even if you don't like audiobooks. The chapters swap between the two main characters and it's fun to listen to. I'm also in the middle of Allegiant. I started it before the Legend audiobook but now that in in the middle of that series I am holding off on Allegiant. I am also on hold for Cress which is the third book in the Cinder series. I'm excited for that one because I have loved that series so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6/page/2#post-1356590 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:08:52 +0000 meredithNYC 1356590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Awesome! I'm about 3/4 way through and I really can't wait to see what happens. I'm a little nervous about it, actually, since Nora seems a little unhinged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6/page/2#post-1356558 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 11:52:06 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1356558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those who loved "Gone Girl," &amp; etc. might really like Tana French! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6/page/2#post-1356542 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 11:47:36 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1356542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: I loved "The Woman Upstairs"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6/page/2#post-1356535 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 11:46:15 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1356535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Night-Boat-Alan-Spence/dp/0857868527" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Night-Boat-Alan-Spence/dp/0857868527</a><br /> I loved it. It was evocative, beautifully written, and made me think. It also led to some really awful jokes about Nirvana. I adore my husband :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6/page/2#post-1356517 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 11:39:36 +0000 Sweet T 1356517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Brassgiraffe: I had to know what happened so I read it even though all of the reviews I read were bad. It was a little slow at the beginning but it did pick up towards the middle. The ending was awful. I was ready to throw my nook across the room! </p> <p>If you're like me and have to know what happens, read it. Just know you'll probably be really disappointed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6/page/2#post-1355404 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 21:34:48 +0000 Mrs. Train 1355404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Insurgent.

Made me LOL all over the place.</p> <p>I'm behind the times, but I'm reading The Book Thief. I want to see the movie, but I have to read the book first. I really like it so far. But, I'm a serious historical fiction nerd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354981 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:00:47 +0000 Synchronicity 1354981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I normally fly through books, but this one is taking me a looong time to get through, and I'm only on book 1!

Can't wait to read them on vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354932 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:54:08 +0000 Synchronicity 1354932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Also from Wikipedia... "The reader may not safely presume that a favorite prominent character will prevail, or even survive. Violence, sexuality and moral ambiguity frequently arise among a set of over a thousand named characters."</p> <p>Truth!! Haha</p> <p>ETA: I would not say it is an easy read; complex story lines, a multitude of characters, and even the language takes a while to get used to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354915 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:51:33 +0000 Bao 1354915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Is it an easy read, or more difficult? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354872 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:42:51 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1354872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: me too?.. as in, he's your favorite author too??? :) or, you're reading game of thrones book #3 too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354865 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:42:10 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1354865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I think it's considered the Fantasy genre. </p> <p>Taken from wikipedia: "Set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the series chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the realm's noble families for control of the Iron Throne."</p> <p>It's usually not the type of book that interests me either, but it is so good! The HBO series is super popular too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354863 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:41:48 +0000 mediagirl 1354863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: me too!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354851 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:40:00 +0000 bushelandapeck 1354851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Brassgiraffe: so far I really like it.

I really enjoyed Divergent and started reading Insurgent, but I lost enthusiasm for it a bit after hearing everyone on the boards get mad about Allegiant (I also got distracted by my newborn :happy: )</p> <p>@yellowbird: I need to do this too! I was mad at myself that I didn't reread Catching Fire before seeing the movie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354631 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:03:44 +0000 IRunForFun 1354631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Re-reading The Historian and listening to The Serpent's Tale during my commute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-6#post-1354616 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:58:32 +0000 bushelandapeck 1354616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dark places.
