I feel ya. I just started Grey's Anatomy and I'm always torn between reading or starting a new episode haha.

American Horror is my vice but I am almost done with Coven. Love Stevie Nicks as the white witch

If you have the iBooks app, Pride and Prejudice is free, as well as LOTS of the classics. I am a old-fashioned paper kind of girl and will never stop buying real books... I actually hate reading electronically completely.. but it's FREE so I thought I'd share loved Pride and Prejudice and Emma! just never got around to reading Sense and Sensibility.

I just tried to read Gone Girl and I had to stop. I was utterly bored 30 pages in.

The same thing happened to me, but I felt like if I paid for it, I might as well read it. It turned out to be a pretty good read. It probably starts to get interesting on page 31! lol

I did not like Gone Girl. It wasn't that it was boring, i just didn't really like reading about uninteresting (& very screwed up) people. The ending was fine, I just thought none of the characters redeemed themselves in any sense. I wasn't looking for a happy ending, and the ending surprised me in some ways, I just thought at least one character could've learned SOMETHING from the experience or grown or changed.

I finished reading "Let the Great World Spin" by Colum McCann today and it was amazing! One of the best books I've read in a while and if you're looking for something to read I would definitely recommend it.

I down loaded all her books for 1.99. Can't beat it. I am totally converted to electronic. Started with Emma and currently at chapter 5. Takes some getting us to the language though. I liked gone girl

That's almost how I felt like too. It felt like I was just about a boring rich girl and her boring husband and their rich people problems. Maybe someday I'll really need something to read and I'll pick it up again but I doubt it.

Regarding Gone Girl - once you get halfway through it, it turns into a different book. I enjoyed the second half much better than the first.

If I don't like a book by 50pgs in, I won't finish it, so I'll never get to experience the second half

I kept at it only because I figured it HAD to get better. I rarely stop reading mid book, I just can't. It has to be really bad or boring.

Lol I do all the time. I feel like since I spend 40 hrs a week with books there's no sense in my wasting time reading a book I don't like

But honestly as a librarian I shouldn't have wasted time trying to read Gone Girl. I read books for readers advisory services, I don't need to read a book like Gone Girl to recommend it to others because it's already a popular title. I should be finding books people haven't heard of I guess


Anyway right now I'm (re) reading "A Knock at Midnight" which is just a books of sermons by MLKJr and I'm (re) reading "A Call to Conscience " which is a book of his speeches

I like them because I can skip around

I finished The Maze Runner in less than 24 hours (woops) so obviously I thought it was really awesome! I need to see the movie now and finish the trilogy.

I also started reading Unbroken (the one recently turned into a movie). I haven't finished it yet, but I have to say it's a good and interesting read.


Oo I had to add that I looove Gone Girl. My jaw was on the floor by the end of the book. I love Gillian Flynn's style.
