Let’s talk about book for a bit. With so many great movies coming out lately, it’s imperative that I read the books first. I’ve learned this the hard way. So many times a movie ruins a good book. I always find comfort in knowing the book is usually always better than the movie.
Already Read
- The Fault in Our Stars
- Looking for Alaska
- Little Mercies – I shared a bit about this book on my blog back in late June. >>>>>>
- Madame Picasso
- The Beautiful and Damned: A Twentieth Century Classic
- The Great Gatsby
I normally wouldn’t list books I’ve already read, but I’m pretty proud that I’ve managed to carve out a bit of time for myself every day to do something that brings me so much joy.
Want to Read
- Where She Went
- This Is Where I Leave You: A Novel
- An Abundance of Katherines
- Paper Towns
- Gone Girl: A Novel
- The Longest Ride
And basically all of these books, some of which I already mentioned above. >>>>>>
Here is a great list of books to read this year before they hit theaters…most of these have already hit theaters, but if you haven’t seen them yet then definitely read them first. Most of these are on my list of books I want to read. >>>>>>
Currently Reading
- If I Stay
– I can’t put it down
Every time I buy a new book, I tend to splurge and go for the hardcover edition. I want to create a beautiful library of books to leave my children and to share with friends.
Now it’s your turn. What are you currently reading, want to read, or have read? I’d love to know.

Right now reading is on the back burner for me. I’m just too busy to sit down and read. Hopefully, I can squeeze in some reading time in the near future.
Right now I’m reading This is Where I Leave You. You do have to read Gone Girl!
I have to admit that I’m not a big reader. Seeing the movies is the only way I know any (loose) storylines featured in books.
I wish I had more time to read. There are so many great books I would love to add to my bucket reading list.
There are so many great books out there. As for the ones turned into a movie or vice versa, I love to find the similarities and differences in them.
I am currently reading Wherever the River Runs by Kelly Minter!
Sounds like a good book, one I would enjoy! I will have to check this out!
I’m reading Neil Gaimen’s American Gods. I use Goodreads to track what I want to read next.
Oh my gosh, I miss reading. After I had my kid it’s like reading just stopped. I did manage to read one whole novel last month though, so maybe things are turning around 🙂
I haven’t read an actual book in a coupe years. Last was the Hunger Game series. I want to see If I Stay. Now you have me wanting to read the book first.
