Books #5 the book lovers thread!

[Bubblesandflowers]

Thank you everyone for sharing your tracking methods! I think a notebook/page in my diary (planner) will be the way to go. That way I can add the info from my 'Kindle Insights' (thanks for the reminder this existed @Cheddar Chalpupa!) plus the physical books.

At the end of the year I plan to show mine so I think it would be really cool to see what others have read. I know a few of us have read books from recommendations here

Great idea

What has everyone picked for their First Reads? I’m not feeling particularly inspired.

Just started Parting The Veil from last month and I’m enjoying it so far though.

I went with one small mistake. I haven't read my 2 from last month yet!

I am reading my 242nd book of the year. Which is way above usual for me but I have spent 4 months (so far) in hospital in bed, the Kindle says "Typical time to read 5 hrs 22 minutes" and that is one day in bed. I have read a book a day most days since being here. Thank goodness for the Kindle!

I hope you're ok! I don't blame you for reading that many, I'd be the exact same if I were you.

Nearly Half way through Rock Paper Scissors,
Anyone read it?

finding it so hard to get a book I like lately

I’m the same. Had to give up on Kisscut by Karin Slaughter because I was bored. Got almost 40% through. I’d never normally do that but like others have posted, I don’t want to waste time reading things I’m not enjoying. I will go back to it at some point though and try again.

I’m now reading The Street Party. It hasn’t gripped me yet but I’ll stick with it for now.

Yeah I finished it recently. I expected to really love it but I didn’t I had so many questions. 3/5 from me.

I’m just about to start The Girl with the Louding Voice - downloaded it ages ago but never read it.

I have this on audible, saw it on that bbc book club programme. Between the Covers I think

 

[Caffeine Fiend]

I finished Rock Paper Scissors.

I actually ripped through it but the ending was just so far fetched and ridiculous imo. I gave it 3 outta 5 on good reads.

I think I did review it on here.

Between the Covers is back next Wednesday (10th) on BBC 2.

I'm reading Oh my God, What a Complete Aisling atm. It's the first in a series of 4 and has got me out of my reading slump! It's an easy read and quite funny.

All four books are lovely reads. You'll have a lump in your throat a few times too

It’s very gripping and intense. I’m enjoying it.

I’m not loving it oh I’ll go look for that!

 

[Scullybob]

I've just finished Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. I was absolutely hooked right from the start. It kept me guessing and shocked me regularly. The subject matter is hard to read about, it can be graphic, but I felt it needed to be to get the point across. OK, some of it was far fetched, but it's a story. I loved it, fast paced and well written.

I was following The Booker Prize ceremony this evening.

The Promise by Damon Galgut won it, for one it actually sounds like a decent book. Has anyone read it?

 

[Randana]

My book of the year so far is The Push - the best read I’ve had in a long time

 

[francaispangol]

I started Exciting Times last night - took it to the hairdressers to try and read (instead the trainee tried to flirt with me ), I'm just not loving it? I think it's the style - disappointed as I am also a TEFL teacher abroad with romantic problems
