What Are You Reading at the Moment?

Currently I am reading The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. I do like what I've read so far of her Shiver trilogy, but so far the Scorpio Races just feels like there's a lot left unexplained. I'll just have to see if that changes.

I'm also reading the second Game of Thrones book, it's good. I need to stop leaving it down for so long though, or I'm never going to finish it.

Just finished Memoirs Of A Geisha, it was amazing.
My things to read list is looong but I'm currently reading Linger of the Shiver trilogy you recommened to me :p

I'm getting Linger for Christmas! Linger, and Forever is the third one right? So I can finally finish that story.. though I don't want it to end.

I have an almost long to read list. Other Sarah keeps firing books at me, and it'd be so much more if I had any type of e-reader At some point I'll dig the rest of the books out and list them, but I know Stephen Fry's biography is there - that should be a good read.

I believe Forever is the third one indeed. Did you get any books for Christmas?

It is it is, yes I got Linger and Forever just in time for Christmas! Also two books from Sarah A. which I can't remember the titles are but she highly recommends them and maybe she can reveal the titles when she gets her butt on here

Ahh hurry up then, I'm curious now :p

WHAT IS LEFT UNEXPLAINED IN SCORPIO? I DISAGREE.

I love Memoirs of a Geisha, it's one of my favourites and it meant that I kept buying geisha-themed books. Have so many now.

And the iron fey series- that's what the books are from.

Do you have that tablet up and running as an e-reader, gemma? I could bring books to your house next time I visit.

SARAH SHOULD GET AN E-READER. I've seen ones for forty squid and I have THOUSANDS of books to share :]

I'm reading...
The Stand by Stephen King- finally!
The Long Walk, also by King, it's great,
The Winter Palace by somebody
Starling by Lesley Livingstone
and I think that's it.

Maggie Stiefvater= love. Her 'Raven Boys' and her fairy books are also great.

YOU TWO SHOULD USE GOODREADS.

Maybe it's because I haven't finished it yet. I just don't get the point of what's happening. Yet.

Well, I have several book related apps that came on it, so I guess so? We'll find out when you bring your book army to mine. Sarah has a tablet actually - I do believe the same as mine

So I get get more spam So many emails from you updating yours, it's shocking.

I thought I was a bookworm but yes, looking at Sarah's Goodreads :O

I do indeedy have the same tablet as Gemmararar

No one is a bookworm compared to secretkey, she's like a machine when it comes to reading! It's rather terrifying.

I forgot I'm also in the process of reading Marley & Me. Such a mischievous dog, I don't want to get to the end.

Ahh I'm glad someone spoiled the end for me before I started because I couldn't read that

Gemma- I don't geddit? EXPLAIN WOMAN. TELL ME WHAT YOU DON'T GET. Maybe it's because you've read it over ___months and you're not really in it.

& Sarah, would you like me to send you some books? If you have requests, I can get them too, but for starts I could bombard you with everything good. Just reply with what you want :]

I suck at goodreads- I'm like 30 books behind- supposed to read 366 books this year, i'm at 331 with like 4 days to go...

Probably that is why. It's just I don't understand the whole thing with the racing the horses - why do they do this, why don't they just avoid them - or is this just water horse style extreme sports? Also why does Puck think her competing in the race will make a difference regarding her brother, or is she just doing it regardless, kinda in spite. Oh and the guy at the stables, Sean isn't it? Is his purpose just to be great with horses and be the perfect companion to that horse, Corr is it?

YOU'VE STILL READ OVER 300 BOOKS IN A YEAR. THAT'S AMAZING.

I am impressed Sarah. And sure, send me anything you recommend, I trust you will make good choices. Nothing Twilighty though please.

Someone was talking about ''He's A Stud, She's A Slut And 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know'' and I thought I had tracked it down, however, it was only a ''preview'' of the first 50-ish pages. It was interesting and I would like to read more, it's not available in any of my local bookstores so if anyone knows where I could read online or hunt it down etc? Thanks.

It's a sport!
And it's either because they'll have money= he'll stay or he worries= he'll stay, but I forget because I read it ages ago.
Sean? Yeah, he's just mad for the horses, and Corr is his horse, but he doesn't own Corr, he loves Corr and wants Corr and needs to win the race to get the money to buy Corr.

EH, whatever...

Sarah- I don't like Twilight either, but I read a lot of adult and also ya books- so I have a few I've filtered out to be good. A lot of young adult is bad, but there are also gems. I'll upload some and fb you their links-
have you read the mortal instruments? or the sookie stackhouse books? I also have hunger games, stephen king, and thousands more.

what do you like, generally. I'll hunt down that book for you. I have other valenti books? I don't like her that much, myself, but i read them because it's fast-to-read feminism :] would you like any of her others?

But he shows no sign of staying, she's completely basing it on if they get the money he'll change his mind. Strange sport for carnivorous horses.
Yes I am aware he wants Corr/win to buy him - but so far I'm under the impression the guy that actually owns him won't sell for any amount..?

She needs the money anyway, she'd just hoping he';; stay.
Yeah, it's just the sort of heritage of Thisby, racing those horses. It's their thing.

Oops. Ignore that for now.

Right now, the closest he can be to Corr is racing him

YA is a guilty pleasure of mine, too lol I literally read anything. Not a fan of romances, though.

I like romances if they don't make me roll my eyes and if the romance isn't the main theme.

YA romance is usually awful, but there are some alrights, like the Shiver books...

I'm a secret fan of The Clique.

Never read it

Get any of those books on my livejournal?

I browsed, some looked good, I haven't had a chance to read anything yet though.

Okay- I'll send you some books this week- can you work google drive, i could share via that?

PM me your email and i'll attach them to that first, it might be faster.

I'm reading a copy of Charles Perrault's Fairytales-Illustrated by Harry Clarke, this stained glass artist from Dublin who does the most gorgeous ink drawings-

Spoiler:

Then there's a book on Catherine the Great, and another historical one called 'Caroline the Unhappy Queen'.

I will try and get that google thing working but I do not understand it :S
