What are you reading?

Just finished reading This is how you lose her by Junot Diaz, and the massive horror manga Uzumaki by Junji Ito this afternoon. Now I'm reading Ghana Must Go by Taiye Selasi and The Queen of Whale Cay by Kate Summerscale. I love historical biographies about wild women.

Waiting for Wednesday by Nicci French, it is the third of a series, love, love, love Nicci French books!

I do too! You rarely get a sense of ease in their books, which I somehow find so appealing. Only in fiction, mind ;-)

I'm reading Tuesday's Gone by... Nicci French!

Tan Twan Eng's The Gift of Rain. Beautiful, beautiful writing.

I'm currently revisiting "Great Expectations", on my phone. I hated it when we had to read it in school. Hated it so much I didn't finish it. I have read it three other times since and enjoy it more each time I read it.

It seems life has gotten so crazy I never find time to sit and read, although I have a pile of books I am dying to get to. Reading on my phone just isn't the same as the weight, smell and feel of a real book, but it works in a pinch.

Just finishing up Agatha Raisin and the Perfect Paragon by M.C. Beaton, I really enjoy reading her Agatha Raisin & Hamish MacBeth series!

Yes, yes, I feel the same way when reading their books, there is no sense of comfort in their writing, I like it too!

I have started Standing in Another Man's Grave, Ian Rankin, yayyy Rebus is back!

Oooooh.... I'm going to order that for my daughter!  She lives for manga.
Maybe she'll actually read it if she can stop playing Minecraft for long enough....

It is very good, am up to all hours reading the book   hope you enjoy it too 

Harlem is Nowhere by Sharifa Rhodes-Pitt, a sort of psychogeographic memoir of Harlem that discusses the author's relationship with present-day Harlem and its residents and how its past and cultural fame lives on like a ghost in rundown streets. Its been a very good read.

Just finished "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" Laini Taylor. It was definitely entertaining! Before that it was Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore and I'm still in the middle of "Mort" by Terru Pratchett. I'm having a hard time finishing it, I wasn't sucked into the book like I have been for others in the series.

I'm reading The Handmaid's Tale... I don't love it so far.
Prior to that I read Chose The Wrong Guy, Gave Him The Wrong Finger, by Beth Harbison. The best thing about it was the title, otherwise was pretty rubbish!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't love The Handmaid's Tale. I also read Oryx and Crake of Atwood's. I liked Oryx and Crake better, but i don't think I'll be picking up Atwood again soon.

lyonaria prior to this one - although was about 3 years ago - the last Atwood I tried to read was The Blind Assassin. I couldn't finish it. I think I was just not used to her writing style.

That being said, after about 150 pages of THT (in my book that was halfway) I started to get more interested, and by the end I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well, except for the end itself - I wanted it wrapped up nicely, personally, and it leaves you guessing.

It's been a 3 years or so since I've read THT or Oryx and Crake. I read them both pretty close together. I really liked the premises of the books, that's what really hooked me into reading them. I just didn't enjoy her writing style. Which is okay, not every author is for every reader. I like what she writes about, I just wish I enjoyed reading her books. I don't get sucked into reading the story, I had to power through reading them. I might like them more now. I might try another of her books. The Blind Assassin was one of her books that also interested me.
