Honestly, I am starting to really hate the books, but I feel committed to the series at this point and just want to get it over with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8/page/2#post-1509626 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:26:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 1509626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>reading Hidden! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8/page/2#post-1509623 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 17:25:27 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1509623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginger333: agree about sycamore row... that book was a drag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8/page/2#post-1509364 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 16:16:48 +0000 Ginger333 1509364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I just finished Dad is Fat - it was really funny!</p> <p>I've been working on Grisham's Sycamore Row since sometime in December .. it's just not that interesting. I can't just give up ... but I don't look forward to reading it like I have his other books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8/page/2#post-1509268 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 15:57:00 +0000 IRunForFun 1509268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: OK phew!

I didn't hate it. </p> <p>I'm giving up on Hands Free Mama. I'm halfway through and finding the author a little too preachy for me. Plus I was/am not even remotely as connected to her devices as she seems to have been, so I can't relate to a lot of it. </p> <p>I have Far From the Tree at home, but man, that book is HUGE. It'll be REALLY heavy to carry back and forth on the train. I'm considering returning it to B&amp;N and getting it on Kindle. So I'm not sure what I'm going to read next. </p> <p>@sarahbs: GAH, Tana French is one of my favorites! Love her books! You're like the first person ever (besides me) who has mentioned her in these posts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8/page/2#post-1508768 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:19:26 +0000 sarahbs 1508768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi is a young adult trilogy but is pretty good. The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes was very good, and I also like anything by Tana French. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8/page/2#post-1508735 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:12:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 1508735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All Joy and No Fun : The Paradox of Modern Parenthood by Jennifer Senior. D's aunt sent it to me to read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8/page/2#post-1507753 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:21:46 +0000 Mommy Finger 1507753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the minority that didn't hate the ending of Gone Girl bc I think it's true to the characters in the book. That being said, I don't think it is a happy uplifting story. If you read her other books, that's her writing style. I won't say that she's messed up in the head but she definitely is pretty dark.</p> <p>I just finished all of the Harry Potter books so I'm at a loss of where to go next. DH really wants me to start GoT but I don't know if I can get into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8/page/2#post-1506998 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:31:19 +0000 Meridian 1506998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I'm going to start Game of Thrones next, I'm excited!</p> <p>I'm still reading the new Amy Tan book, The Valley of Amazement. I normally love anything by Amy Tan, but I really dislike this book and am having a hard time finishing it! Almost tempted to just stop reading (and start GoT!), but feel bad because my mom got me the book for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8#post-1506928 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:23:06 +0000 IRunForFun 1506928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cookie_dough: Haha maybe we can commiserate at the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8#post-1506567 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:19:46 +0000 snowjewelz 1506567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this thread!

I'm only a few chapters in. I had no idea the ending was supposed to be bad. boooo :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8#post-1506428 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:31:51 +0000 hellobeeboston 1506428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: agreed, after finishing GOT I've had a hard time getting into other books! I may re-read them soon since its been a while!</p> <p>@IRunForFun: I didn't HATE the end, it was OK but the entire book was so good I almost didn't mind. Her other books are also great!</p> <p>@MrsH: how was the second of that series? I read the first but wasn't sure if I wanted to continue. </p> <p>I just started reading The Goldfinch by Tartt and its great so far (only about 90 pages in) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8#post-1506411 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:25:08 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1506411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat the Yolks.

I'm reading book 4 for the second time just so I can read book 5!</p> <p>So for everyone else, I'm reading A Feast of Crows by George R.R. Martin.</p> <p>@Running Elley: Have you read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan? It's not QUITE as crazy as GoT and has more fantasty elements, but it's REALLY good! Plus it's 14 books, so you won't need something new for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-reading-8#post-1506237 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 05:02:42 +0000 Purpledaisy 1506237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading Their Eyes Were Watching God.

I think I heard a lot of hype about how awful it was, so compared to that, I was expecting much worse.
