What Are You Reading: April 30, 2012: 04/29/12
I'm about half way done with the remaining term paper. As my mind is crammed up with the paper, I've found myself being pickier about what I read. That's reflected in the three unfinished books. My favorite read last week was The Fifteenth Pelican by Tere Rios. It was the inspiration for The Flying Nun TV show. A close runner up for best read, is Pie by Sarah Weeks. I haven't finished Watchlist: A Serial Thriller edited by Jeffery Deaver but I am getting close. I'm about 3/4 of the way through. I plan to finish it this week. I would also like to finish Deadly Décisions by Kathy Reichs. What about you? Did Not Finish:

Comment #1: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 02:04:50 I also didn't like the Abraham Lincoln book, and now I feel a bit vindicated when I see someone else reject it. I have to check out Pie. Comment #2: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:10:20 Pussreboots You should never feel bad about not liking a book. Pie, though is delightful. I hope you like it too. Comment #3: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 02:45:51 I used to love The Flying Nun in television, a book based on the series could be interesting Have fun reading! Comment #4: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:10:20 Pussreboots The book inspired the series. That said, the series was a very good adaptation of the book. Comment #5: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 07:21:36 I have read the Ben January series by Hambly and loved her. She seems like a very diverse writer! 1Q84 seems so interesting! I will have to check out your review! Comment #6: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:30:33 Pussreboots I've only read the first chapter of the Hambly book, so I don't have any opinion yet on it. Don't hold your breath for 1Q84 as I'm only on page 300! Comment #7: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 08:11:32 I heard Sarah Weeks talk about Pie. She was a speaker at a conference I attended. It was before the book came out. I sort of forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to read that book someday. Have a wonderful week! Comment #8: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:33:18 Pussreboots I think Sarah Weeks also made a blog post about Pie around the time it first came out. Anyway... I forgot about wanting to read the book too until I saw a copy on display at the library. It was a delightful book. Comment #9: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 08:34:52 I could not get into Abraham as a Vampire Killer...LOL, hope you did ok with it ;) Comment #10: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:38:38 Pussreboots I got about 1/3 of the way through Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter before I grew tired of the way it was written. I skipped to the last fifty pages and skimmed them. When it was obvious that the writing style didn't improve or settle down, I decided I was done. Comment #11: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 08:36:19 I just got Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter on audio - so I hope I have better luck with it ... now I'm a little scared to even start it :-) Comment #12: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:42:38 Pussreboots You might do better with it as audio because you won't have to look at the annoying formating! Comment #13: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 08:48:49 I enjoyed Love Walked In and plan to read this author's other work soon. Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a great week. Comment #14: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:43:48 Pussreboots I'm only on the second chapter of Love Walked In but I am enjoying it. Comment #15: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 09:34:39 Uh oh! Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter!! What did you think?? What are YOU reading?? Comment #16: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:45:39 Pussreboots I didn't finish it. I've decided I'm bored with these mashups. I got even less far in Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Comment #17: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 12:17:11 How was the Abraham Lincoln book? Was it not worth finishing?? Comment #18: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:46:21 Pussreboots I didn't finish it. I'm just not into the mashups. The last two I tried didn't work for me. Comment #19: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:14:16 Looks like you've got a great week lined up! Comment #20: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 13:48:31 Pussreboots Thank you. Happy reading. Comment #21: Monday, April 30, 2012 at 19:50:59 I read the first book in Diane Mott Davidson's series, but I really need to get back to it. The first one was really good. Have a great week! Comment #22: Saturday, May 05 2012 at 19:52:59 Pussreboots I am completely addicted to Davidson's series. I've been listening to them all on audio. Comment #23: Monday, April, 30, 2012 at 22:05:11 I've heard good things about Marisa de los Santos, but I haven't read any of her books yet. I hope you enjoy Love Walked In! Comment #24: Saturday, May 05 2012 at 19:54:20 Pussreboots I'm not sure what to think yet of Love Walked In. It's told in alternating voices. One of the characters I adore and the other one is just so dull. Comment #25: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 21:55:20 Most of these titles are new to me - I'm going to have to look them up. I haven't read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter but I have been curious to try some of the other books in that 'series' ... not sure how much I would enjoy them though! Thanks for stopping by my blog this week! :D Comment #26: Saturday, May 05 2012 at 19:57:15 Pussreboots I've decided I'm done with the mashups.
