Wanted: Book Suggestions

I am almost finished with the book I am currently reading and I need some suggestions. Lately I have been reading a lot of YA novels (The Hunger Games trilogy, The Fault in Our Stars, The Future of Us) or smutty literotica (Fifty Shades of Grey). I need to change it up. I am thinking a good mystery or a scary (not too scary) book is due. Any suggestions?

Book Challenge 2012: Update

On Jan. 30, I posted an update to my book challenge for 2012.  Sadly, I haven’t read too much more since then. 

  • The Adults by Alison Espach
  • Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling
  • The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
  • The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler
  • The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
  • Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Currently reading: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

At the beginning of this year, I said I would read 20 books.  I’m still ahead of schedule, but I’d like to get more reading done.

Book Challenge 2012

I decided to challenge myself to read more this year.  I hope to read at least 20 books this year.  I know it doesn’t seem like a lot for some, but it is for me.  I enjoy reading.  I was sort of a book worm growing up.  But in the last 5 or 6 years, I have hardly read any books.  Life just gets in the way and it’s easier for me to watch TV than read a book. 

Last year, I started reading a lot more and was invited to join a book club.  I think I read 12 books last year, so I thought doubling it would be fair.  So far, I’ve read 4 books and it’s still January!  But come warmer months, I think it will be harder for me to make the time to read.

Books I’ve read:

  • The Adults by Alison Espach
  • Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling
  • The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
  • The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler

Currently reading: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Reading Challenge

I have challenged myself to read 20 books in 2012. That might not seem like much to some but it is a lot for me.

So far I have read 2. Does it count for a book I started in 2011 and finished in 2012? If not, then I’ve only read 1.

Finished reading this over the weekend.  I thought it was hysterical and I want to be best friends with Mindy in real life.
