How's summer reading going?
My goal is to finish at least two books for the remainder of this month - we'll see how that goes.
How's your summer reading going?

I hope the new book will be more to your taste.

That's awesome! I love those periods of time when I can read a lot. I'm hoping since the last day of teaching summer school is tomorrow, I'll be able to read a bit more than I have been able to this summer.
Thank you! So far I'm liking it. Right now, it's a solid 3/4. We'll see if it'll bump into a higher rating once I'm done.

Maybe we can start Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray in that case.

Ah, yes! You're so good. Yep, I agree. We can probably start Before the Devil Breaks You. Do you have a preference when we should start? I'm in the middle of the book I mentioned, but I should be done with it by mid-week.gali wrote: ↑26 Jul 2019, 00:14Great!hsimone wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 19:15That's awesome!

Nice work on getting those christian books read so close to each other! Oh wow...I just looked up Gilchrist out of curiosity, and yep, that's pretty different from non-fiction christian books, lol. Hope you enjoy it!Eclecticmama wrote: ↑26 Jul 2019, 13:48 I'm actually doing pretty decent as far as summer reading goes. I knocked a couple non-fiction christian books out within a week of each other. So that was pretty neat. Both were very good, too. Now I just have to get back into Gilchrist, which is the polar opposite of what I was reading, lol. Its a horror book

Cool! I'll request it from my library and let you know when I'm done with what I'm reading now. Then, we can start it.gali wrote: ↑26 Jul 2019, 23:59I am ready whenever you are. We can start it when you finish your current book.

Just requested! It looked like there were several copies available in my library network, so I would think I'd get it soon.

10 books while working full-time? That's awesome! I hope you enjoyed them all. Good luck in keeping up with reading that much when the school year starts!Brandt wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 08:45 Pretty well! Usually, in the summer I am working so much that I don't have time to read anything. This summer though, I have finished almost ten while working full time. It's been such a joy to read so much this summer and I hope I can keep it up through the school year!
Do you have a favorite of the ones you read so far this summer?

It has been hard, but I have been keeping at it! So far, my favorite has been Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. They were so incredible. I also loved reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath for a second time. Hoping to get a few classics in by the end of the year. I'm hoping to get through War and Peace. How about you?hsimone wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 09:5810 books while working full-time? That's awesome! I hope you enjoyed them all.
