It’s Whatcha Reading time! This is the post where we talk about all the good, bad, and ugly things we’ve been reading. There is squeeing! There is griping! And we might suggest somehow putting your credit card in a block of ice or trying to somehow block the “1-Click” option on Amazon.
Sarah: I am reading The Phantom Tree which has all these words I like: time slip, dual narratives, lots of women in history, a mystery and a possible romance. It’s incredibly atmospheric, too. I had a hard time putting it down when it was time to sleep.
Elyse: My copy is coming today!
Sarah: Of The Phantom Tree?
Elyse: Yes!
Sarah: Elyse, The Phantom Tree is so good. Jumps back and forth between Tudor England and present day. Wow.
Elyse: I’m so excited!!
Sarah: Long-running orthodontist appointment? Waiting on a hard bench? PARKING TICKET IN THE RAIN AFTER WE GET OUT?
Don’t care. Got to read book more. All is well. (Seriously I’m enjoying the hell out of it)
Amanda: I just finished unpacking all of my books…I need more shelves. But I’m going to re-read The Kiss Quotient.
Also, some personal things are happening that are making me SO DANG ANGRY. I asked for some recommendations on Twitter for scifi/fantasy with pissed off heroines and I got a ton of recs. So I’ll probably pick one of those!
Redheadedgirl: I just finished A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe, which I LOVED. ( A | BN | K | G | AB )
Carrie: I am the happiest reader because I’m reading A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole ( A | BN | K | G | AB ). SO GOOD, y’all.
Amanda: I’ve picked up a lot of scifi lately. That’s just what I’m gravitating toward and I started Shattered Roads ( A | BN | K | G | AB ) last night.
Elyse: I’m working my way through Tana French’s mystery series and I just started The Likeness ( A | BN | K | G | AB ). A coworker and I are also reading Something in the Water together and discussing it. Nothing like talking about murder in the office
Amanda: I have a longer walk to the subway now if I don’t feel like waiting for a bus, so I downloaded Bittersweet by Sarina Bowen ( A | BN | K | G | AB ) on audio to keep me company. It’s free through Audible’s Romance Package.

@Kate B and @filkferengi – I love ‘Ring of Bright Water,’ the book, the movie, the song, although all three make me sob. #animallover
