View Full Version : What are you reading right now? meeg124 11-02-2009, 01:50 PM Are you reading anything good? I've been reading a couple of the other series from Charlaine Harris (Sookie author). They are okay. Not as good as Sookie but entertaining. My3sonsplus1 11-02-2009, 01:56 PM the only paper back I am reading is a baby name book :) TaivensMama 11-02-2009, 01:56 PM I am currently reading a book my stepmom sent me after she read it titled Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's it has given me great insight to what Tiaven deals with and I will never again say the phrase "look me in the eye", that's for sure haha! I am having the desire to read another romance or mystery something too though... Stacey 11-02-2009, 02:04 PM I'm going through my Dragonriders of Pern series again. :) ktjo17 11-02-2009, 02:13 PM I just started Traveling with Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd...I am not sure if I will like it. Lorah 11-02-2009, 02:27 PM Hmmm well....SCM and Facebook. Do those count as reading materials :bag Not much. Though my mom is trying to get me to read a book titled "The Shack". Not sure if I'll go there or not though. It has about 4 chapters dedicated to the loss of a child by kidnapping. :( NOT my kind of reading. khanson 11-02-2009, 02:28 PM I just finished The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls and I am about to read New Moon again so I can remember what happened :giggle then Will gave me a "must read" called Lie Down With Lions by Ken Follett. ktjo17 11-02-2009, 02:32 PM Hmmm well....SCM and Facebook.

Some of my friends wanted me to read that and did not think I can handle it...life is rough enough...do I really need to read someone else's horror story? meeg124 11-02-2009, 02:34 PM the only paper back I am reading is a baby name book :) Caden didn't give you enough choices? :giggle Lorah 11-02-2009, 02:36 PM Some of my friends wanted me to read that and did not think I can handle it...life is rough enough...do I really need to read someone else's horror story? That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! My mom's argument was that it's fiction, but still, even if it is, NO THANK YOU! meeg124 11-02-2009, 02:36 PM I am currently reading a book my stepmom sent me after she read it titled Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's it has given me great insight to what Tiaven deals with and I will never again say the phrase "look me in the eye", that's for sure haha! I am having the desire to read another romance or mystery something too though... One of the mom's in my online autism support group heard an adult with asperger's talk once and he said that it was actually painful for him to maintain eye contact with another person. Since I heard that, I've never made Caden make sustained eye contact with me. Scott doesn't get it at all and gets peeved when Caden won't look him in the eye :rolleyes L and F's Momma 11-02-2009, 02:37 PM I just finished The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls and I am about to read New Moon again so I can remember what happened :giggle then Will gave me a "must read" called Lie Down With Lions by Ken Follett. That's what I am just starting! momtoM&D 11-02-2009, 02:51 PM I'm reading an Anne Frank biography that I snatched at a free stuff playdate last year lol. I'm usually not a biography fan, and it's kind of slow reading, but it's interesting. mommanat 11-02-2009, 02:57 PM Currently I'm alternating between Dan Brown's Lost Symbol and a bargain book I picked up--The Weight of Silence, depending on what kinda mood I'm in. Christyn95 11-02-2009, 02:58 PM I'm reading New Moon and am 1/2 way through it and have been 1/2 way through it for a few weeks. I got through Twilight really fast, but I can't get into New Moon as much as I did with Twilight. Theresa 11-02-2009, 03:08 PM Nothing. I have a mountain of books staring at me, but I can't seem to get motivated to read them. Megan--are those the graveyard books? I have them, just haven't gotten around to starting them. howardvm 11-02-2009, 03:08 PM Trying to finish 123 Magic and Say You're One of Them. I just got The Lovely Bones which I'm dying to read, but I'm making myself finish these other two books first. Kellie_MO5 11-02-2009, 03:21 PM I just finished My Sisters Keeper and W.O.W ... AWESOME book :thumb Now I wanna see the movie... I've read My Lovely Bones and it's pretty good, too... meeg124 11-02-2009, 03:23 PM Nothing.

No... we got the Lily Bard and Aurora Teagarden series. lmfike 11-02-2009, 03:23 PM Summer of Roses by Luanne Rice. Then The Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber whne I finish the first book TaivensMama 11-02-2009, 03:27 PM Some of my friends wanted me to read that and did not think I can handle it...life is rough enough...do I really need to read someone else's horror story? I enjoy a read like that...one of my fave books is A Child Called IT...it was horrific, but makes you see that things are not that bad in your life when someone lived through that... Kellie_MO5 11-02-2009, 03:30 PM I LOVE a child called It (and the 2 books that followed) ... SO good.. we had him come speak at my school when I was a freshman, I think... TaivensMama 11-02-2009, 03:31 PM One of the mom's in my online autism support group heard an adult with asperger's talk once and he said that it was actually painful for him to maintain eye contact with another person. Since I heard that, I've never made Caden make sustained eye contact with me. Scott doesn't get it at all and gets peeved when Caden won't look him in the eye :rolleyes I have actually had to pull Neil aside and tell him to stop telling him to look at him 900 times when they talk....the book explains why they don't like eye contact one being that they actually pay LESS attention when looking someone in the eye because they are trying too hard to focus on looking them in the eye and unable to process what they are saying from the lack of focus on what they are saying....Now if he is saying it while he is on a tangent with Taiven I say quietly "McDowelllllllll:nono" and he knocks it off...someday it will just be ingrained for him to not do TaivensMama 11-02-2009, 03:31 PM I LOVE a child called It (and the 2 books that followed) ... SO good.. we had him come speak at my school when I was a freshman, I think... Me too...it stuck with me for life...I didn't have the most pleasant upbringing but it was a PIECE OF CAKE in comparison to this poor boy! TaivensMama 11-02-2009, 03:33 PM I just finished My Sisters Keeper and W.O.W ... AWESOME book :thumb Now I wanna see the movie... I've read My Lovely Bones and it's pretty good, too... I hear with my sisters keeper you won't like the movie after reading the book, but i have only seen the movie and absolutely loved it (the ending is the opposite of the book ending)...and I want to read the book...so when you are done I would love to borrow it!! khanson 11-02-2009, 03:42 PM I'm reading New Moon and am 1/2 way through it and have been 1/2 way through it for a few weeks. I got through Twilight really fast, but I can't get into New Moon as much as I did with Twilight. I felt the same way...I think it's because I'm on Team Edward :giggle khanson 11-02-2009, 03:45 PM That's what I am just starting! You'll have to let me know what you think. My jaw was on the floor most of the time reading it trying to picture what they were going through :shake erin anne 11-02-2009, 04:00 PM I read 1/2 of the The Shack and I didn't really like it, I could never connect with it at all. I just started The Good Wife by Stewart O'Nan, so far so good. http://www.amazon.com/Good-Wife-Novel-Stewart-ONan/dp/0374281394 jellybeanmichelle 11-02-2009, 04:39 PM Hmmm well....SCM and Facebook. Do those count as reading materials :bag :yeah I have a few unfinished books that I need to finish. Sara 11-02-2009, 04:58 PM I just finished My Sisters Keeper and W.O.W ... AWESOME book :thumb Now I wanna see the movie... Isn't it a great book! I heard the movie ends differently, so I never saw it. To me the whole book was that much more impactful because of the ending. Kellie_MO5 11-02-2009, 05:01 PM To me the whole book was that much more impactful because of the ending. It was so heartbreaking, though! Lynette 11-02-2009, 07:36 PM I just finished The Lost Symbol about a week ago and am back to reading the Anita Blake series. I think I am on the 9th one? The grave series are ok Theresa, they're no Sookie and the first one was flat but now they are getting racey ;) Leigh 11-02-2009, 07:43 PM I'm going through my Dragonriders of Pern series again. :) :love Have you also read the "Crystal Singer" series? Hmmm well....SCM and Facebook. Do those count as reading materials :bag :yeah I'm reading New Moon and am 1/2 way through it and have been 1/2 way through it for a few weeks. I got through Twilight really fast, but I can't get into New Moon as much as I did with Twilight. Stick with it! It's worth it to lead you on to the rest of it. I used to be a VORACIOUS reader (like a book a week or more), but that was all pre-kid. All I have been reading lately are magazines, and socializing here and on Facebook! The big exception is getting through the Twilight books. They reminded me how much I love to read, and prefer it over movies. I am looking forward to the SCM Book Club meetings. I think I can handle a book a month. . weg'smom 11-02-2009, 07:49 PM I am reading Teacher Man and The Book Thief. Both are excellent. BTW, I loved The Glass Castle. juliansmom 11-02-2009, 08:13 PM A Mercy by Toni Morrison. Pretty good. momtoM&D 11-02-2009, 09:41 PM I just finished My Sisters Keeper and W.O.W ... AWESOME book :thumb Now I wanna see the movie... I've read My Lovely Bones and it's pretty good, too... My Sister's Keeper made me so mad at the end! Sucky way to end the book imo lol. I heard the movie was really bad. Lovely Bones was a really good book! FTM2Hannah 11-02-2009, 10:45 PM I just finished my Best Friend Forevery by Jennifer Weiner (sp?) It is on the NY Times best selling list. I have another one on the NYT list waiting for me too :) Good ole library :thumb |
