what are you reading??

I have been in a reading funk for a while, Every book I pick up I cant past the first two pagesChat Icon

I tried again this afternoon, I would prefer something easy and lite.

This summer I tried Psychos by Babe walker and today Andy Cohens book Chat Icon
signed copies were given to my office and everyone got a copy.

I figured I would ask the LIF team.

I just finished Defending Jacob. Not easy and light but a good book.

I would check the Storybook forum. There is an on going thread with what people are reading. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

Right now, I'm reading The One & Only - Emily Giffin's latest. Just before that, I read Jennifer Weiner's latest, All Fall Down. I'd recommend both

Loved the one and only by emily giffin! I'm reading big little lies now. It's only okay. I've ordered the alchemist but it hasn't come yet.

Emily giffin, Jennifer weiner and sophie kinsella have light books that will probably hold your attention. I really like most of them. :)

I have recently read:

Gone Girl
The Fault in Our Stars
Sharp Objects
What Alice Forgot
The Storyteller
The Book Thief

What Alice Forgot is the lightest of them but they were all good. And I read through them quickly.

Next on my list is
Dark Places
If I Stay
This is Where I Leave You

Re: what are you reading??

I know it's an oldie, but I never read it and heard a lot of good things, so I picked up Gold Coast by Nelson Demille. About 3/4 done with it and I love it.
I want to read the sequel next- Gate House.

Re: what are you reading??

I'm currently reading Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. It's dark and disturbing but I'm enjoying it.

Some favorites that I've read in the past:

Girls In White Dresses by Jennifer Close
Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens
Where'd You Go, Benadette by Maria Semple
Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
Defending Jacob by William Landay
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

I also love all of Emily Giffin's books, with the exception of The One & Only. If you haven't read those, I would definitely recommend them. Chat Icon
