I'm currently reading "Spinning Silver" by Naomi Novik. Her first book was really good so I bought this one as well. It's sort of like a twist on Rumplestiltskin about a girl who can turn things to gold. It sounds a little weird but I assure you it's a very good book so far! I'm about halfway through and started yesterday morning, lol!

Shadami 01-10-2019 05:02 AM

Since I posted last in here I've read,
1) gone away lake
2) return to gone away, both by elizabth enright
3-9) half magic - seven day magic series by Edward Eager

And I have a list of I want to read but I haven't been reading much lately.

It's kind of a subtle girl power book. Think like Howl's Moving Castle? The main protagonists are all girls.

Eastriel 01-11-2019 11:23 AM

I've been a bit slow with reading so far this year, got hit with a cold, then flu then a chest and sinus infection ;0;

zigbigadorlube 01-11-2019 05:49 PM

I wish I could stay at home and read today...

Eastriel 01-11-2019 07:45 PM

i'm off ill so I could in theory read but sinus infection makes eyeball movement ouchie so ive been doing small stints

zigbigadorlube 01-11-2019 09:25 PM

I'm sorry to hear that. >.< I'm feeling a bit under the weather myself today. I hope you get well soon!

I read Howl’s Moving Castle for the first time last year. Well...read as in listened to the audio book. It had an older British lady reading it. She spoke very slow so I had to up the speed on the audio track 😂😂 but I really loved it. I’m unsure if I want to read the others in the series as I heard that Sophie and Howl aren’t the main characters.

Eastriel 01-12-2019 11:42 AM

Howls moving castle is by diana wynne jones no? If so I recommend 'Homeward bounders' by her :)

Yeah, Howl and Sophie aren't the main characters of the following books. There's a small relationship between the books but they also stand alone. They're good but not as good as the first book in my opinion.

Eastriel 01-14-2019 10:06 AM

homeward bounders is epic <3
I just finished my first book of the year

Eastriel 01-16-2019 01:53 PM

looks like I may finish my second book today - how is everyone else doing on their reading?

Melissa 01-16-2019 04:43 PM

I just got a new iPad for my birthday so I’ll be able to read a lot more comic books. My kindle is a paper white so I use it only for text reading. (My old iPad was 8 years old and couldn’t be updated and almost all apps didn’t work)

I signed up for the shonen jump subscription so hopefully this year I’ll be able to read the entire One Piece series. 😂

zigbigadorlube 01-16-2019 06:51 PM

I'm currently working through my 5th and 6th books of the year. Almost done with Spinning Silver which has been good so far! And about halfway through with P.S. I still love you which has also been pretty good. [:)]

Also it's so great to see you again Melissa! You're one of my friends who pops on every so often and it's such a pleasant surprise. [hug]

Melissa 01-16-2019 07:10 PM

Hahah Hi Zig. When did you become an Assistant Admin? I don’t think you had that title last time I was here. It’s really been too long 😆😆

zigbigadorlube 01-16-2019 09:10 PM

Uhhh, about 2 years ago I think? It's really been far too long! I love your avi BTW! I need to change mine, it's not Christmas anymore, lol!

Melissa 01-17-2019 02:49 AM

It can’t be two years 😳 maybe I just didn’t notice. I for sure have posted since then.

Thank you....I haven’t changed it in forever. I saw some cute stuff in the shops I might buy.

I love the cake theme you have on.

zigbigadorlube 01-17-2019 04:30 PM

We might have had this same conversation last time, lol!

Thanks! I was trying to think of something more Valentine's Day cute. <3

COMPLETE

Shadami 01-22-2019 06:47 AM

Still kind of lost my count. XD but laying in bed during bad days during this pregnancy I've finished off 5 of the 6 Artemis Fowl books I own by Eon Colfer

TaiyoTsuki 01-22-2019 07:18 AM

Ahh, Artemis Fowl's a good series. It's one of the ones I'm working on adding to my collection ^^.

And apparently, at least according to the trailer on YouTurd, there's supposed to be a Fowl movie come out this year~

Shadami 01-22-2019 02:36 PM

Yeah I'm not putting much faith in it because of how badly enders game ended up xD.. and pretty much every book movie except Harry Potter.

TaiyoTsuki 01-23-2019 07:28 AM

I'm prolls going to wait for it to come out on DVD and then check it out from the library, so I don't end up wasting money. Then I'll make my judgements on whether I want to see the rest of the movies (if they adapt the entire series, rather than pulling an Eragon and not adapting the rest of the series) in the theater.
