45thparallel. I have less than 100 pages in The Twelve. I am hoping to finish it today. It's not as good as The Passage but still good. I think its setting the storyline up for number 3 maybe. There is a small section that touches on "the time before" which is kinda neat because you find out what happened to some of those characters. Like i said, i only have 100 pages and it's building to something pretty big which is probably going to be in the 3rd book.

I picked up two books The Lying Game by Ruth Ware and Watch me Disappear by Janelle Brown. Both I had on reserve and came in at the same time. I think they will be fast reads. I plan to read these before reading The City of Mirrors which is the final book in the Justin Cronin series.

I just got through The Dark Tower - the gunslinger by Stephen King. I remember why I don’t read his books. I hate his writing. The stories are good but the delivery is awful!

Goal is to finish it by Friday.

IS anyone reading the overdrive Big Read book this month? It’s called the 100 lies of Lizzie Loveitt. I’m listening to it and I’m so sucking into the story!

45thparallel, I mean it's depressing as any dystopian is depressing. It's maybe more bleak is a better word. But it is a quick read (I read it in 2 days) and I'm glad I did since everyone seems to talk about it. Ive finally started the handmaid tail. I think I hate her writing style. It’s the worlds longest sentences. I need to hate read this one I think.

You know the part so where it chants “grey, grey, grey” over and over. The narrators voice makes that so memorable!

I just finished fitness junkie and it was a fun read. Very light and makes fun of Gwyneth Paltrow and the whole GOOP thing a lot. I enjoyed!
I am reading The Paris Key now and it's pretty good too.

I just finished the girl before by JP Delaney and it was ok. A page turner but I didn’t think it was all that great. But it reminded me vaguely of 50 shades (which I didn’t like) and gone girl

I’m cutrently reading “the breakdown” BA Paris. It’s the same author as Behind Closed Doors. She has a writing style that makes me get into my own head and totally sucks me in. I’m 60% through and can’t wait to see how it ends. I had a hunch what’s going to happen.
