What are you reading right now? How do you like it?
I'm usually a one-book person, but you caught me at a time when I'm reading a few! I'm almost finished with Libba Bray's The Diviners. I'm really enjoying it. Kind of has an epic feel. It's really long, but very entertaining. Look for my review next week!
I started Raven Boys, by Stiefvater, and decided to quit and read something else. I was having trouble getting through a slow start -- but I'm convinced a different attitude will allow me to enjoy it. I'm going back to it this weekend.
I've been reading King's 11/22/63 for a while now. It amazes me how King can write such a long, meandering book and still make it riveting. I love his story-telling. He's a master. I'm about 3/4 through, so I think I'll be picking up the pace for the finish soon!
I'm listening to Daughter of Smoke & Bone and enjoying it. But I usually like to listen to more long, meandering books on audio because it takes me so long. This is taking me too long, and it's too exciting. I can't wait to find out what happens, and might just have to pick up the print copy to finish. The hype is justified.
How about you? Leave me a link so I can see what you are reading (and add some more to my never-ending TBR!) Have a great weekend!

I have the print copy of The Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I only read one chapter though. I might continue it one day. New follower.

I cannot wait to get to The Diviners! Raven Boys has been one of my favorite reads so far this year. I loved 11/22/63, and I recently listened to Daughter of Smoke and Bone on audio and I had the same problem, I came so close to buying a print copy so just so I could finish it quicker! I think you're right, longer, slower books are probably easier to listen to, or at least cheaper, so I'm not fighting the urge to finish the book too quickly!
ReplyDeleteThe Diviners looks awesome!

A lot of great books! The diviners and the raven boys are high on my wish list and Stephen King's book is still on my shelve. Daughter of smoke and bone is a book I also want to read.. Happy reading! :D

I listened to Daughter of Smoke and Bone too and it was awesome! I think reading it wouldn't have been the same, and though it was a painful wait it's well worth it! I hope you like it! :D

Aw, I want to read Raven Boys - why did you quit it?

I thought Raven Boys started out really slowly. I got about 100 pages in and lost patience. I'm going to try again, because most reviews rave about this, and I'm certainly a fan of Stiefvater.
DeleteI just finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone and I CANNOT wait for November 9th when the second book comes out.
ReplyDeleteAnd I absolutely agree about King's book... I'm reading the same one, but I didn't even list it because I've been reading it so long. -_-
