Goodreads Reading Challenge: 2012 discussion

I just finished reading The Running Man. I started reading Outlander last night. This will be my first book of the new year.

I finished The Palace of Illusions last night. Currently I'm reading Everybody Loves a Good Drought: Stories from India's Poorest Districts!

I'm reading The Hollow Hills, second of the Merlin novels by Mary Stewart. I started the trilogy 30 years when I met my wife and never finished so I started it again recently. The books tell the story of King Arthur from Merlin's point of view. I love Mary Stewart's elegant writing and her version of the Arthurian legends is my favorite. There are 4 novels altogether... the last one concerns Mordred and his relationship with Arthur.

Happy 2012 all! Let the challenge begin!

I'm in the middle of the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost as well as the Regency Draculia series by Colleen Gleason and the Rizzoli & Isles series by Tess Gerritsen. I kind of have ADD when it comes to reading books. :)

My TBR list is so long, I doubt I'll get to them all if I live to be 100. :)

The only one I've read is the Scorpio Races. I love anything she writes, but am not excited about horses, so it was a bit eh for me. Let me know what you think once you've read it.

I'm re-reading

I always happed to stumble upon something new when I give a book a second read.

Started reading Terry Goodkind's Stone of Tears really enjoying it so far. Good luck to all in their challenges.

I am reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I enjoyed the first two books in the series so here goes the third.

I am currently reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. But tomorrow one of my fav authors Matthew Reilly comes out with his new book so I may have to put AG's on hold..... even though it is both disturbing and awesome. :0)

I love Neil Gaiman!! The Girl who Circumnavigated... sounds good too!

My first Neil Gaiman was Good Omens w/ Terry Pratchett. It was a lot of fun! Now I've realized that they both have tons of other books and now I'm very slowly working my way through them. I want to read the discworld series by TP as well and think theres almost 40 of them.

just added The Girl Who Circumnavigated, Thanx!

Anansi Boys on audio was really funny, but I don't think you can go wrong with Neil Gaiman.

I am listening to the audio of Dragonfly in Amber (outlander series) by Diana Gabaldon. I also just started reading a young adult novel by Libba Bray, Beauty Queens.

Beauty Queens is one of my fave books from last year- I love Libba Bray's sense of humor!

Awesome Mark! My 7 year old is obsessed with Calvin & Hobbes!

I'm currently reading Goodness Gracious Green. It's the 2nd book in Judy Christie's Green series. I'm enjoying it as much as the first one, Gone To Green.

I've just begun reading The Shakespeare Secret by J.L. Carrell this evening.

I'm reading The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales. The TV show Grimm is about start airing in Ireland for the 1st time this week. Since is supposed to be based on storylines from the book, I wanted to read it first before I start watching the series.

I've just started reading the third book in the Stephanie Plum series Three to Get Deadly.

Just started the Chicagoland Vampires series & it's amazing so far

Some Girls Bite

Great reading guys! Keep it up! :)

I'm reading A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch right now, next will be Mindy Kaling's book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Just finished reading The Jefferson Key by Steve Berry. Currently reading The Human Race by O.C. Heaton.

I've started reading Songs Of The Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult.

I've finished reading Songs Of The Humpback Whale last night and it was awful. Today I've started reading All We Know of Heaven by Jacquelyn Mitchard.

I've just began reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King today.

I finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King this afternoon and it was brilliant! Now I've started reading Four to Score by Janet Evanovich.

I've just started The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.

I've just started reading Second Glance by Jodi Picoult this evening.

Right now I'm reading Blue Sky Days by Marie Landry. I got it free as one of those read & review things. I'm 5 or 6 chapters into it so far and it's pretty boring. the novel is not very well written and its meant to be a YA romance novel but the main characters who are 19 & 22 talk like their in their 60's! And if that wasn't bad enough, the love story is far too unrealistic, so I'm finding it very hard to connect with the characters. I think this is one novel where I'm definitely going to struggle through it.

I have just finished reading Divergent and am just about to start Wither

I decided its about time I started reading more classics so yesterday I started reading by Emily Bronte.

Kelley Armstrong

I've just finished reading tonight and now I'm about to start .

I finished by Janet Evanovich last night and now I've started by John Steinbeck.

Reading The Hunger Games. Very good, hoping to get through it quickly before I see the movie.

I finished reading by John Steinbeck last night and this morning I've started by Kathy Reichs.

I finished reading Tree of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer, which was pretty amazing. This morning, I started reading Griffin and Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence by Nick Bantock.

Finished , starting this morning. Great books, fun to read. Also saw the movie yesterday, better to read the first book first.

Finished Mockingjay, last of The Hunger Games series. Exhausting but good.

I love hearing what everyone is reading. I'm about to finish up Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen (Rizzoli & Isles #8 - I love this series!!) and City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare (Mortal Instrument series #4). Next up will be The Silent Girl by Tess Gerritsen, City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare, and Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. I can't just read one book at a time! lol :)

Reading after watching the HBO series (season 2 now). I really like it, characters are well developed and I like the way he tells the story.
