Sundays in Bed With... The Dream Thieves

This morning I'm reading:

The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle #2) by Maggie Stiefvater.

I'm almost done with this book, and I'm all sorts of sad about that.  Because it's an amazing book, full of wonderful words and characters, and it just fills my heart up in a way that only the very best of books do.  I was going to be good this year and read my BEA books in order of publication, but I just can't resist this series.  Honestly, if you start this series, be prepared to mourn the fact that these characters don't really exist.  Well, they don't exist in the real world, but Stiefvater brings them to life in our hearts, which is almost better.  

I'm also officially moving to WordPress this month, starting this week.  If you don't already, please follow me somewhere else other than GFC.  I'm liking BlogLovin' a lot, but I'm still new to it.  Also, be on the look out for some giveaways once I make the jump to WordPress, as I beg once more for followers.

Sundays In Bed With... Follow the White Rabbit to BEA!

This morning I'm reading:

Follow the White Rabbit (Beautiful Madness #1) by Kellie Sheridan

Kellie was one of my roommates last year at BEA.  There were four of us in a tiny room, and once we all started bringing back books from the show, Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs would have seemed spacious.  Somehow, Kellie manage to squirrel her books away (possibly I had made one too many jokes about stealing them) and surprised on the last day with the magical space she'd found to store them. Then a few months later, Kellie surprised us again- she was publishing a book!  I just found this one the other day, so I thought I'd go ahead and read it because today I'm BEA bound once again! 

I'm so excited, but somehow I actually managed to sleep last night.  So now I just have to finish packing, listen to the last 1/2 hour of Warm Bodies so I can start Joe Hill's NOS4A2 on the train.  It feels weird to just be taking my Kindle and phone on a trip, and not several physical books too, but I'll have tons of books to read while in NY.  

What are your weekend plans?  I won't be online much today, but this year I am taking my laptop, so expect updates on how BEA is going.

This morning I'm reading:

Sweet Salt Air by Barbara Delinsky

This is actually an ARC and doesn't come out until June 18th, but I have a feeling I'm going to see a lot of copies of this book when I go to the beach in August.  It has that beach read feeling- and one of the main characters is a food blogger (she's always taking pictures of food before eating it, which totally reminded me of taking pictures of books with drinks when I read at Panera or Starbucks).  I'm just a few chapters in, and although it's not a type of book I normally read, I'm surprised by how much I'm liking it.  Ultimately it's a book about friendship, and I think as we age- especially once we hit our 30's- we start to truly appreciate what a gift true friendship is.   Also the book takes place on an island off of Maine and now I'm worried that Fenwick Island in Delaware is not going to compare well when it comes time for vacation. There should be a special island just for book bloggers to vacation at, and every little cottage should have a well stocked library.  And we should only have to pay what we can afford to pay in order to vacation there.  Someone smarter and hardworking then me- look into this!

I'm also finishing up Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore (less than 50 pages to go!) and I think if I power through today I can finish the last 5 hours of The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss so that my Bout of Books won't be a complete failure.

This morning I'm reading:

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

The Hubs actually asked me if I'd read this, because one of his employees mentioned it to him as being a book I might like if I enjoyed George R. R. Martin books.  I downloaded it on Audible, and folks, it's a loooong book.  I'm 5 hours in, with 22 more hours to go.  But, I have to say, I'm really enjoying it.  It's similar to Martin only in that it's a complex fantasy novel.  It's a very easy listen, so it's not as daunting as a long book can be.

This morning I'm reading:

 What's A Ghoul to Do? (A Ghost Hunter Mystery #1) by Victoria Laurie.

So far, so good, but the chapters seem sooooo long.  I guess I've been reading a lot of books with short chapters lately?  And listening to audiobooks, so I don't even really notice how long the chapters are. 

I just finished Game (Jasper Dent #2) by Barry Lyga, and OMG did it end on a serious cliffhanger!  Actually, it ended in like 3 different major cliffhangers.  I am dying!  

Also, because I listened to Game on audio, and Testimony by Anita Shreve recently, I finally learned that I've been pronouncing Hachette wrong for years.  I feel like an idiot.  Granted, I often feel this way, so I guess no biggie. ;)

This morning I'm reading:

Unbreakable (Unraveling #2) by Elizabeth Norris

Last year I read an loved Unraveling, which filled the hole that X-Files had left in my heart.  So far Unbreakable is proving to be a great 2nd novel, the action was kind of immediate and I still love how the beginning of each chapter is a countdown.  I'm hoping to read a good chunk of this today.  Many thanks to Wiley from Authors on the Web for sending me a copy!

I'm also picking up the books I'm giving out for World Book Night!  I'm very excited to take part in this, and I will post on Tuesday my plans and what book I chose to hand out.

I'm really liking it so far and I'll be finishing it today.  The cover is fitting... but it's not exciting.  I'd rather the book look more like the one described in the book.  This book has made me cry, and want to brush up on my Spanish.

This morning I'm reading:

 Dare You To (Pushing the Limits #2) by Katie McGarry. 
 The covers look super smexy, but there's not a lot of sex in the books.  This one, since it focuses on the character of Beth,is loaded with f-bombs though.  Seriously- hope there's a little soap in that water so Ryan can wash her mouth out before taking her home to meet the parents.   I started this one yesterday, so I'm almost half-way done.  So far, so good!

Fragments (Partials #2) by Dan Wells

Last night we had book club, which was one of our best book club discussions ever (Ready Player One, because I know you want to know what book we were talking about).  And then a few of us stayed over... with the intention of doing a mini-readathon, but of course we just ended up talking, since we were all tired and book club lasted until late into the night.  I don't know how much time I'll have to read today, but I'm hoping to make a dent in Fragments.  Sadly this is Court's last day visiting, so I may read while she's packing or trying to finish her psychology reading.

 The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson!

Yesterday Kim and I traveled to Raleigh, NC to see Maureen Johnson and Stephanie Perkins- and they were perfection! Funny, brilliant and incredibly nice, I really think authors make up a large percentage of the coolest people on earth.

This morning I'm reading:

 Crash and Burn by Michael Hassan

I'm only 50 pages in, but I am liking it so far.  It's not a quick read though, at least not at this point.  I hope it picks up, since the ARC is over 500 pages and I only have a week with it.  I should be able to get some significant reading done today.  My only problem is with the cover- I get the meaning already from the book, but coupled with the title it makes me think of September 11th, although maybe that's what they're going for?  The book is about two boys who have been connected their whole lives, one a troubled genius and one a troubled slacker, and how the slacker prevents the genius from blowing up their high school.  And there's a whisper-like at the end of Lost in Translation, but this time I think we are going to learn what Burn said to Crash.   However, if I just saw the cover and didn't read the summary I would just assume it was about Sept 11.

The Rules for Disappearing by Ashley Elston

This book is killing me with the mystery- why the hell are they in Witness Protection?!  I have my theories... ;)

Sorry this is going up so late, I've had a crazy week!  I've barely been at home all week long and last night was only the second night this week I've slept in my own bed.  It was lovely!

 Sorry, Riley! I forgot the flash was on!  Let's try again,

 Emmy with And Then I Found You by Patti Callahan Henry

Last night we had book club and we discussed Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and basically we were all:

 And we had an awesome discussion, with lots of f-bombs flying, because that is what reading this book does to you.  For reals. 

Also, I'm down with gifs now, so expect more.  I think the right gif makes everything better.
