UW MLIS Online Cohort 2014 discussion

What are we currently reading? Is it for pleasure or class? I feel like we started this, but are only keeping up on our own pages! So Let's Connect!!!

Beastly For my LIS 566 class!

Scrolling Forward for LIS508 and Did You Ever Have a Family for pleasure.

I really enjoyed DYEHAF, Jenn! And I just started Orphan #8. Christmas present from my brother, and he's been bugging me about when I'm going to read it! ;)

Ahhh, 566 sounds great! I may need to take it next Winter!

I'm reading Word Puppets by Mary Robinette Kowal, a book of SFF short stories. She's real good!

And, I'm listening to Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken from The Darkest Minds series, which is good, but has a lot of casual swearing so I have to wait until my biggest little pitcher isn't listening with her big ears. :)

I am not a big reader of contemporary fiction, so I liked DYEHAF well enough but wasn't overly drawn in, Megan. The different POVS definitely made me feel disconnected and I felt like the ending few just lost the power of the middle ones where I did get engaged.

Oh my goodness books have changed! I'm now in the second LoTR and just finished Sold- what a powerful read!

What is Sold?

I just finished listening to Persona by Genevieve Valentine, which I enjoyed way more than I thought I would. Now, I'm listening to This Book Is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All. And I have started The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All the Way Home.
