    I'm not a big reader, but last weekend the Hunger Games curiosity finally hit me hard enough to cave and read the book.  I ended up reading it in a weekend, and loved it so much I immediately started the second book!!
    Anniversary
  • I generally like to read fiction - specifically mysteries, chick-lit and dramas. I'll read non-fiction if the book interests me but I refuse to read romances.

    Right now I'm trying to read The Help but I haven't had much time. I'm off recovering from tomorrow's gallbladder removal for a week and a half so I'm going to try and get some reading done.

  • Im going to be starting #7 of Tara Janzen's Steele Street Series. Love them :-)

    I also have read Nikki Sixx's books, I enjoyed them as well.
  • I love reading and I'll pretty much read anything.  Most recently I finished the 1st 5 books in the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin.  It's the series that the HBO show "Game of Thrones" is based off of and its A-M-A-ZING.  (I'm a little obsessed haha) and I loved the Hunger Games as well.  I'm really liking James Patterson right now so I'm kind of all over the place.

    I'll read just about anything. I personally prefer historic dramas though. Most recently I finished the Outlander, which was pretty good.

    I love a good mystery and as Amy said, "chick-lit". 

    Right now I am also trying to read The Help.  It is really good, but sometimes I have to be in the mood to read it.  I keep hearing about Hunger Games too and I am interested in reading that.

    I will read just about anything too, and I <em>love</em> this series!!  I'm reading Stephen King's new novel now, 11/22/63.  Not generally a huge Stephen King fan but this one comes highly recommended and is a lot different from his usual horror books.

    I read it all! I've been reading a lot more lately. Last summer I read The Help and a book called Speechless (it's written by one of George W. Bush's speech writers).

    More recently, I read the Hunger Games trilogy (all in a week) and now I'm working on Bossypants by Tina Fey. Like I said, I read it all. It kind of depends on my mood when I'm at Barnes and Noble.

    Right now I'm reading A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness , and listening to Shiver - Maggie Stiefvater with Darkfever - Karen Marie Moning waiting.  Ok I'm on a fantasy kick right now

    I'll read just about anything that sounds good, although I tend towards sci-fi fantasy that isn't too outrageous, historical fantasy/fiction, (LOVE Song of Ice and Fire series :D), some horror-type stuff, and Terry Pratchett, right now I'm re-reading The Princess Bride by William Goldman.
    It doesn't have to be perfect to be everything I want!

    I love this series! I have A breath of snow and ashes signed by Diana Gabaldon! Mostly I like to read classics (part of my bucket list is to read the 100 top classics) and chick lit, but right now I am reading Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. I will  get to Hunger Games this summer once school is done and I find a used copy of the trilogy at my local used bookstore.

    Love these books!!  Half way through the season last year I started reading the books! They are amazing.  I wanted to finish the second book before season 2 started but haven't had time.

  • Mostly Sci-Fi and Fantasy... re-reading my favorite series, Dresden files by Jim Butcher

  • I like to read all different genres but mostly I read chick- lit haha. My favorite book is The Devil Wears Prada and I have read all of Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner.  I am currently rereading The Hunger Games before I go see it this weekend.  I would like to check out some other Dystopian titles.  I am also reading The Pilot's Wife I just started it but I am enjoying the running.
     
    I really need to start writing down the books that I read because I forget pretty quickly what I have read.

  • I read mostly mystery. I don't like to read anything too heavy. I will absolutely not read the Hunger Games, because it just doesn't seem like something I'd like, I love to read. I only download books on my iPad to read now...so much more convenient!

    Mostly historical chic lit.  My favorite author is Julia Quinn.  I've been on a classic phase lately though and read Peter Pan and Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet.  Actually pretty interesting, especially since I pictured Benedict Cumberbatch from the BBC Sherlock in the role.  

    I read The Hunger Games Trilogy in like a week.  Loved it.


    Mana and Cbear, I sent you both Goodreads requests.

  • I will read just about anything.

    I caved and bought the Hunger Games this weekend...so far I love it!

    I'm almost done with Eat Pray Love and will be starting the George R.R. Martin series or the Girl series.  I have also read all of the True Blood books, Twilight series, Emily Griffin, and some Jody Piccoult.  Loved water for elephants!

    I tend to read books that movies/shows are based off of (if you can't notice the trend above). 

    I'm lame and don't know what goodreads is, can someone fill me in?  I feel like I am missing this in my life.  :)

  • I love to read, right now I am really heavily into fantasy, especially paranormal. I also have a goodread account. 

    At the moment I'm reading Warrior by Bryan Davis, its part 2 of a series and it's not mind blowing. however pretty good fantasy by a christian author. I've read the Hunger Games and loved it, WAY before there was even talk of a movie. I'm also a huge fan of Brent Weeks.

    It's a website that allows you to track the books you've read, are currently reading and would like to read.  You can rate the books, review the books and have friends to compare books, make recommendations, etc.  Goodreads will even make recommendations based on your ratings and reviews of books. For me, it's a great way to discover new books and also keep track of all that I want to read. That list is always longer than what I will ever have time for.

  • I read just about anything except romance novels. I think they are trashy...lol. I am currently reading Catholicism for Dummies because I'm a new Catholic and wanted more insight to the faith. I usually tend to read stuff along the lines of Dean Koontz, Stephen King, those kind of books.
  • I love reading : I mostly read the psychological mysteries/crime mysteries. And definitely celebrity written books lol it's a guilty pleasure I recently read The Time Travelers Wife, amazing! I'm working on Chuck Palahniuk's invisible monsters.
