@Bao: Have you read the Throne of Glass series by Sara J Maas? Once I started A Court of Thorn and Roses I had to keep going with all of her books! I think I read all 7 in about 10 days. So good!
I just finished a reread of Ember in the Ashes and then read its new sequel, A Torch Against the Night. Then I reread Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue. I just started a reread of Finnikin of the Rock yesterday which is one of my favorites!

I just finished Life Itself by Roger Ebert, which I enjoyed but felt like it took forever, so now I need to find something a little lighter. And also quicker, because my goal was 104 books this year and I'm only at 85

all the movies were on tv this weekend so I decided to reread the Harry Potter series. Currently reading The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Queen Sugar by Natalie Baszile (there's a new series on OWN based on it) and Tana French's new book.
Also a really bad book I got for .99 on Amazon that is self published and kind of offensive...for research but it's so bad.

I just finished The Girl on the Train and was so hooked. Makes it so hard to get into another!
I just started The Light Between Two Oceans but so far it feels kinda slow.

I recently finished Murder on the orient express by Agatha Christie and Number the Stars by Lois Lowry.
I'm reading A Well Kept Secret by Tatiana de Rosnay but I'm not loving it.
Currently waiting to arrive at the library:
Jesus feminist
Pretty girls
The boy on the wooden box
Hollow city

@Bao: I just started a Court of Thorn and Roses as well, loving it so far, almost half through. I had read the Throne of Glass series first, so had to keep going.
Next up on my library hold list is Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver. (14 people ahead of me for A Court of Mist and Fury)

@SweetiePie: I really want to read the girl on the train!
I ended up just grabbing a book from our work book bin.. it's Nicholas sparks, a bend in the road. Old but I haven't read it before

@SweetiePie: Loved Girl on the Train... I'd recommend The Good Girl by Mary Kubica (similar also to Gone Girl)
I started The Light between Two Oceans also and didn't make it far, it's back on my list though to try and finish!

@Ajsmommy: You won't be disappointed it is soooo good. The movie coming out motivated me. It was on my kindle forever and then I saw the preview and got worried that the book would be ruined if I saw or read or heard something about the movie.

The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. I haven't gotten that far into it but the description of the book really pulled me in.

@josina: I'm only on chapter 4, interested to see where it goes!
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
@SweetiePie: I just started "Girl on the Train"!
The Red Rising trilogy is next on my list unless something else pops up to persuade me otherwise!
honeydew / 7235 posts
@Alivoo01: I really liked Red Rising! so fun... Girl on the train is also a great read (just saw the movie - book so much better per usual)
@josina: I was a little disappointed by The Good Girl, but, it was pretty entertaining.
I just read the first three Outlander books, which were entertaining, a little smutty (haha), and I sometimes hate the main character.... but entertaining.
I need something new.

@hellobeeboston: my bff loved outlander and always tries to talk me into it!
honeydew / 7235 posts
@SweetiePie: it was FUN... i mean, I devoured the first three books pretty fast. I was sick of it at the end, i think there are 2 or 3 more books, but I need a break. The first book was my LEAST favorite - 2 & 3 were much better I thought.

@hellobeeboston: People said it was similar to Hunger Games and the likes of its genre so I'm looking forward to it! I think the only two movies I've ever like that were remakes of a book was Hunger Games and Me Before You. Otherwise, the movie version was so different from the books, I was like wtf?! NOOOO! lol

@Alivoo01: I loved Me Before You the book. Looking forward to a night when DH is out and I can watch the movie alone with candy and wine and a box of tissues.
honeydew / 7235 posts
@Alivoo01: yeah, it's a little dorky but i seriously want to read it all again. Speaking of book-to-movie, I heard they're making a movie of the Red Rising series and I will be totally into it!

@erinbaderin: oh my goodness you must read a ton! How much time do you spend reading a day? I LOVE reading but find I can only get in 30-60 minutes a day, except on the weekends.
I'm reading All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews (A Complicated Kindness author) for book club. It's a really great book so far. When it is finished I will either start the new Jodi Picoult book (Small Great Things) or the new Liane Moriarty book (Truly Madly Guilty). Has anyone read the Picoult or Moriarty books yet? I'm only going to have time to read one before baby comes. Which one should I read?!
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
@SweetiePie: I loved the book also, and the movie is so, so sweet! They changed a few things (they always do), but I totally approve of the minor things they changed up.
@hellobeeboston: I'm guilty of re-reading books I'm totally in love with!

I just finished The Fifth Season, which was excellent! Although, a warning: some of the perspectives are written in second-person, which took me a while to get used to.
I'm now reading The Rithmatist. I love everything by Brandon Sanderson, so I'm sure it'll be good.

Before The Fall.
I'm a little over halfway through and LOVE it! I'm not sure what is up next.

Summers at Castle Auburn A cute YA read with romance sprinkled in towards the end. Love the main character in this one and the outside perspective she gives of the castle's court.
Mutineer's Moon by David Weber. What if the moon were really a starship from an alien star empire watching over the aftermath of a mutiny that spawned our early civilizations and was still influencing us? Fascinating sci-fi

I'm currently reading The Woman in Cabin 10.
@delight: I just finished Truly Madly Guilty. Have you read many other Liane Moriarty books? Maybe I have read too many of them by now, but they are all kind of starting to sound the same to me, and the whole book centers around one event, which does not get revealed until very late in the book and that was extremely hard for me to deal with! That said it was still an enjoyable read...
pomelo / 5326 posts
@T-Mom: I have read most of her others. What Alice Forgot is my fav by far. One of my girlfriends also said that Truly Madly Deeply wasn't the best. Maybe I'll do the Jodi Picoult one first, although I've been disappointed with her last two! Thanks for weighing in!

@T-Mom: are you liking this? I just was reading the summary & reviews yesterday

Instant mom by Nia Vardalos, She is the woman from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It is a funny memoir of her infertility and eventual adoption of her daughter.

I'm still making my way through The Invisible Bridge, which I started in August. It's excellent, but by the time I lay down at night to read, I'm so tired I only make it through a few pages!
Girl on the Train is next on my list.

@hellobeeboston: I'm only 30 pages in but so far I like it! How did you like the 2nd outlander book? I liked the first one a lot but heard thr 2nd one was hard to get through!

I'm reading Eligible right now and am really liking it!
Next up is Modern Lovers but I'm not sure I will get to it any time soon.
pomelo / 5326 posts
@T-Mom: Also, did you read In a Dark, Dark Wood? I didn't realize it was the same author of The Woman in Cabin 10. They both look good.
honeydew / 7488 posts
@delight: I haven't read that one! Guess we'll see how this one goes...
@hellobeeboston: oh that is great to know! That makes me want to actually read it now.
hostess / cantaloupe / 6486 posts
@T-Mom: you reminded me that I want to read The Woman in Cabin 10, I guess that's my up next!
honeydew / 7504 posts
@mrsjazz: Ooh, there's a new Tana French book? I did not know that! She's one of my favorite authors! I'll be getting that one as soon as I finish Girl on the Train...
