11/22/63 by Stephen King. I'm only 200 pages in (out of nearly 850) & I love it. Can't put it down.

Endymion - Dan Simmons. This is a reread. It seems like there are no new good books out there these days. Hey, Orson Scott Card, would you PLEASE write another book?!?

I am listening to the audio book The Innocent by David Baldacci.

I am reading the book Never Have I Ever by Sarah Shepard.

I'm also reading my developmental psychology and sociology texts (unfortunately they do count).

I absolutely LOVED this book. Crazy ending though, FYI. I wanted more even though it was a huge book!

I'm reading this right now, too.

Just finished The Passage and then The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Apocalyptic vampire novels. It's a three part series, but who knows when the third is coming?

I'm reading I Thought my Father was God which is a collection of stories from NPR's national story project. Some of these stories are really touching.

I love listening to those stories though I've never read the books. More than once I've ended up at work completely in tears because of that series.

After breezing through a Katie MacAllister book (seriously, they're terrible - why do I keep getting talked into reading them?), I started on one I got for Christmas (that I was really excited about)....only to find out it was a sequel and I'm pretty sure the whole plot of the first book was given away in the two paragraphs I read. Ugh. I guess I'll be buying the first & third books now so I can read this one.

I'm reading Book #3 in the "Fifty Shades" trilogy, "Fifty Shades Freed". To be honest, I'm over it, and the writing is isht, but I spent the money on the trilogy at Costco, so I figured that I might as well finish it. Sigh...

Next is Book #3 from the Hunger Games Trilogy, "Mocking Jay". Yeah, I'm a little behind the times, oh well.....

I'm reading Sin in the Second City: Madams, Ministers, Playboys, and the Battle for America's Soul by Karen Abbott. I'm learning a lot about late 19th century Chicago. It's fascinating.

I am LOVING The Mortal Instruments series. I'm halfway through City of Glass (#3), and it's fantastic. Such imagination. Total page turner - they're HUGE books and i started them Friday.

Partway through Neil Stephenson's Snowcrash for my book club and I HATE IT. It's going to be really, really hard to finish in time

Just finished The Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffen. I loved it until the ending, and am now trying to decide what to tackle next.
