I've been trying to read the third book in the Divergent series (I'm a big fan of teen paranormal books) but since I've had another baby and I have tons of Christmas presents to make I haven't gotten very far.

Currently I'm reading The Kingmakers Daughter, which is pretty awesome if you're into historical fiction. I have had the Tea Rose recommended as being amazing, but I haven't read it yet. I got told I need time set aside without interruptions and I haven't been able to set aside that time commitment yet.

I read the newspaper. Does that count?

ReplyDeleteI haven't had a great new read recently but had a friend tell me to see the movie the Book Thief. I read that awhile ago and loved it. Great giveaway too! Have a great Christmas and New Years!
ReplyDeleteI'm re-reading Harry Potter, which is a must for anyone, but I'm also listening to Night Circus which is really quite fascinating (and reminiscent of the magical wonder that is Harry Potter - esp when Jim Dale reads it.)
