Pachinko
I just started Into the Water by Paula Hawkins last night and hopefully I’ll finish before the year is over!
is it any good??
I’ll have to let you know. I only read a few chapters before bed last night. So far I’m a little confused to be honest lol ?
I just finished it and it was pretty good! The very, very beginning was confusing but after that it was great!
I’m reading Age of the Ashers (The Petros Chronicles Book 1). 3% left to go. I’ll be writing my review today.
Ten Days in a Madhouse
Who’s the author x
Nellie Bly
I need to read this!
It’s a quick little book but very interesting
Trying to finish Haunted America. Should be no problem, just another 150 (give or take 10) pages.
Wild and Wonder and it’s so hard since I have to study too lol
Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs
The Mote in God’s Eye
Some kind of wonderful by Giovanna Fletcher. Nice light read. I started yesterday and have just over hundred pages left. Hopefully finish before the year is out.
How did you guess!?? My second reading of “The Adulterous Citizen” https://www.spdbooks.org/Products/9780996224222/the-adulterous-citizen–poems-stories-essays.aspx
Wonder
Two: Pillars of the Earth and Homo Deus.
Ready Player One by Ernest @Roberta
13 reasons why
The shining by Stephen king
I am reading The Nightingale right now and really enjoying it. There is NO chance I will be done before New Year though.
Is it long? I have one I wont finish before the new year either. The one I’m wanting to finish is Crazy Ladies lol
@Nay, it felt like it took forever to read.
@Nay, it’s 438 pages, so not super long. It’s pretty good, but I adore books written around the timeline of WW2. Adore them.
The very last 80 pages of Do They Hear you When you cry. And Zlatas Diary.
I’m trying to finish the Giver quartet, I’m on my last book but I’ve got my grandbaby who’s on the move constantly so I don’t think it’ll happen
A series of Unfortunate Events, I’m on the last book but my uni has started back.?
The Wife Between Us
Just finished this one recently. Are you enjoying it?
I want to read that one soo bad!
@Myndi yes! I’ve only got 100 pages left it’s a page turner.
These three. Doubt I will make it though, even tho the middle one is a manga. It’s really thick, and I’m only halfway through. :p
Yeah, it’s really good so far!
Lisa Jackson’s Final Scream. I just started it last night. Barely on chapter 5. It was super slow going for a while.
Peace Like A River!
City of bones! I’m so close to the end so I’m hoping I’ll be able to finish it tonight!
1/2 through The Judas Strain.
Darker
Same Kind of Different as Me. It’s a true story, and it’s absolutely amazing.
What’s it about? I love true stories.
It’s about a modern day slave and an international art seller. How their stories intertwine, and realize just how different the world is. It’s got religion in it, Christianity, but it doesn’t try to shove it on you. As a Christian I️ love the small mentions, it’s not a huge role in the story, unless you make it to be. There’s a movie coming out soon.
I’m sorry it’s sideways.
The movie has been out and gone already.
Thanks for sharing!
50 pages left of the 5th Horseman by James Patterson. Determined and this snowy weather will help that and hot tea. Happy reading all!
Just started Hogfather yesterday, I doubt I can be bothered to try and finish it all tomorrow though ?
stephen king- salems lot….its a big book and im not a very fast reader.
Yes , A breath of snow and ashes . About 100 pages left . Cutting it close .?
I have about 60 pages left of the book I’m reading lol
@Nay good luck to us both !!
Yes!
Siege &Storm by Leigh Bardougo
The Noel Diary by Richard Paul Evans.
My Policeman! I’m hoping to finish it tonight or tomorrow
Volumes 6-8 of Bizenghast (graphic novel).
The bucket list to mend a broken heart. Lovely easy read. Just right for over the Christmas period.
Behind closed doors, should finish tonight
Yes you are! We welcome it. ☺️?☕️?
Thanks so much! Will get right on it! @Nay
Little Men
Is that like Little Women?
It’s the book right after Little Women by the same author. Then comes Jo”s boys
Ohhh okay. I feel like I knew that as a kid and forgot about it lol
Same. Then I saw the book and was like Ohh cool
I just wrapped up the silo series by hugh howey. So great ?
Isn’t that an awesome series?!
No
Yes, Liane Moriarty’s “Truly, Madly, Guilty.” Good grief I cannot recall the last time it has taken me so long to finish a book. I have read her other stuff and flew through them but this one is just slow I guess. But I am down to about two chapters so I am going to finish it if at all possible by 2018!
Yay!
No
The old man and the sea?
Love that story…
One called The House of Secrets. I will have more books to read though because I’m going to buy them with 122 dollars!
I don’t have much else to buy with it.
Has been a painful year.. within 2 months lost both parent’s. Got passion for reading honestly as both loved reading .prob dad more.. I found out mom passed as on way home from vacation ..i had been reading The fifth horseman by James Patterson. This is part of women’s murder club series. Hadn’t picked a book up since June couldn’t so it. Lived vicariously through this group waiting for something to click. Can’t say what it was but I’m back just finished this book and I feel the bug bit me.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Keeping you and yours in my prayers.
Thank u truly books are comforting and bring joy. I have missed them
I am so sorry for your loss . I know your pain . Lost my parents both within a short time as well. Take care of yourself . Sending hugs . ❤️
Wish strength and peace for you.
The Muse by Jessie Burton
Pretending to dance by Diane chamberlain
Yeah I’m on page 440 of a book I’m writing
I’m focusing in particular on Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Less 140 pages from the end, then I’ll probably work on a book about writing fight scenes that’s been going very quickly and I’m nearly done with, as well. From there we’ll see.
Yes! Songs of Willow Frost. It has taken me 6 weeks to read this book. 🙁 I will be so glad when I’m finished. I’m down to the final track (audio).
Ugh, left my MP3 player at work with about 15-30 minutes left of listening. I hope to stop in tonight to get it and maybe I’ll finish before midnight but more than likely it will be my first finish for 2018.
Towed Away by Barbara Ross.
The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton AND Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. If I do I’ll reach my 130 target!!!
I’m hoping to finish The Last Unicorn tonight.
Red sparrow!
The Doll Funeral
Carmilla and Stardust
What do you think of this one? It was not a favourite of mine.
I’m reading Harry Potter, Book 1 The Sorcerer’s Stone. Just started so no chance finishing before 2018! Loved the movies just couldn’t get into the books. This time, I’m enjoying. You know how you have to be in the mood for a genre. ??
I totally understand that lol
The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston
That sounds interesting
I’m only on page 119 but it’s pretty good so far
I’ll have to look it up and see if I want to add it to my tbr. ?
I finished Guilty today(wonderful psychological thriller) and I’m determined to finish Don’t Look for Me by Mason Cross
Guilty. That sounds interesting!
It’s by Laura Elliot and it was soooo good
Small great things jodi picoult
One of my 10 Top Favorites of 2017 !So very timely, given the disturbing state of race relations in our nation !
Just over half way…..it’s a good read – should have it done ❤️?
The Rest of Their Lives by Jean-Paul Didierlaurent
It’s a race to the finish! I’m nearly half way through! ?
Paris by Edward Rutherfurd. Almost done. Knowing French history is helpful when reading this, although the author provides enough background so that I think most readers will understand each political situation as the story evolves. It’s an interesting array of characters and a blending of different family histories. Thus far, I recommend it. ?
Love all of Edward Rutherford ‘s !
I need to read this one!
yup. its nice
having a goal of tidying up before family visits
Wrapped up in you by carole matthews 🙂

Old man’s war by John Scalzi
Yes! A Sweet Girl Graduate
I was hoping to finish a book I’m writing, but then I got the damned flu. Pretty much put a damper on my plans.
I have the flu too, I felt it hit me yesterday. I laid on the couch all day drinking tea.
Bummer. Hope you recover quickly, Nay.
Thank you. You too.
Hope everyone is feeling better!
I just finished a thousand splendid suns….loveeed it
Wanted read the Christmas Carol but never got around to it and don’t think u will by end off year

You can still post it. ?
Year one by Nora Roberts
Are you liking it? Been thinking of getting.
It’s really good.
Thinking of getting that next
Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
Thankyou nay merril
Mrs. Sinclair’s Suitcase. It’s a good book but so busy during the holidays, my reading time was limited.
No, but still reading!
Yes reclaimed
I’m trying to Finnish Grave errors by Carol J Perry . It’s the 5th book in the series I have read and it’s just not grabbing me like the others ?
I hate when that happens.
Just finished Dragon teeth !
Outlander
I‘m just finishing up re-reading The Chimney Sweeper’s Boy by Barbara Vine (Ruth Rendell). I read it back in 1998, and have enjoyed reading the “Vine” books a second time, recently. Happy New Year!!
Happy new year!
I just finished one about an hour ago ?
Nice! Good timing ? I have 50 pages left in mine.
Still trying to finish wrapped up in you by carole matthews
The Girl Before J.P. Delaney
Either The Humans by Matt Haig or The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. I have an advanced reader copy of the latter, and it’s about to come out in hardback!! I am too slow!
I JUST finished mine! Sunbolt by Intisar Khanani 🙂
Winter by Marissa Meyer and Everless by Sara Holland
Yes, The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce. It is so good.
Did you like this book?
@Jamie– I didn’t actually finish it yet. So far i like it. I feel that there needs to be an accompanying pull out off all the music listed together in the book. It would be fun to create a play list during each chapter like the mention. I’ve hit the last two chapters and I am not thrilled. It was going so well, now it feels as if she is tying up loose ends. I do love what has come before though, so I think it’s worth reading. 🙂
Ok thank you very much I have so many books I’m interested in starting!
I just finished. She redeemed herself and it ended good. at the end of the book there is a link to a Spotify playlist for all the music. I really like that. I would recommend reading it after all your others. I give it 4 stars. 🙂
I finished mine last night!! A Darker Shade Of Magic. ? I’m waiting till tomorrow to start The Night Circus
Nice!
Reading two such amazing books back to back…you are going to be spoiled for the rest of the year! 😉
Ah! I hope I Love Night Circus! I hear nothing but amazing things. And yes!! ADSOM was amazing! I’m so
mad I waited so long to read it.
@Heather, at least that trilogy is complete, so there is more to look forward to. Have you read Nevernight by Jay Kristoff?
True! And no I haven’t! I hear great things but I haven’t read it yet.
@Heather, if you liked ADSOM, I highly recommend Nevernight. The final book in the trilogy should be out at the end of 2018.
Oh! I’ll add it to my list! I’m hoping to read more fantasy this year. I didn’t read too much in 2017.
I finally got to read Saint Odd. As the final book in the Koontz Odd Thomas series, I found it lacking. Nothing like unresolved plot lines to ruin a book (or a series) for you.
Oh no! I don’t know why they would do that in the las book of a series.
@Nay, me, either!
Too late. . . .
