Currently reading?

No reason to make another thread, so I'll just go ahead and revive the largest one.

I'm currently reading A Walk in the Woods by Brian Bryson. I really like how he captures the essence of hiking/camping and how miserable and yet simultaneously zen it can be. It's interspaced by a lot of humor, enough to make me wonder how much of it is an anecdote and what is just entirely made up. Despite this I can easily see many of the situations he gets into happening to myself, which makes it more immersive. If you have ever done any multi-day/week hikes before, I highly recommend picking it up. Not too long of a read and has the spirit of the trail for sure.

I've not been reading much lately. I've Forging the Future by Mary Calmes and Uglies by Scott Westerfield on the go right now.
 
I actually just finished Matched by Allie Condie, so when I go back to school, I'm planning to pick up the second book in it's series, Crossed.
 
Currently reading:
The Blazing World by Siri Hustvedt
This book is a total gem, and is exactly what I look for in a novel. I was hooked immediately, right from page one. I should probably check out Siri Hustvedt's other works after reading this, because I know I'll enjoy the hell out of The Blazing World even though I'm only halfway through atm.

Life in Outer Space by Melissa Keil
I really need to stop picking up books blind now and then, because with my luck I always happen to unknowingly put at least one romance novel on my reading bucket list every time I update it. Lol. But that aspect of the book aside, the main character's inner monologue is amusing enough to read about, and it feels genuine.
 
The school decided to hook me up with the incredibly cringeworthy Girl Online: On Tour.

Not an interesting read. The typical ''I have a hot boyfriend who's a popstar - everyone around him hates me but he's so dreamy! I'll throw up whenever I see him!''

Pretty annoyed I have to sit and read it, but once I get through this book I'll be able to read a much better one.

still Spring Snow, it's so good and noe things are getting intense.. (not gonna spoil it here but so good)
 
summer according to humphrey

they don't have much at my library
 
I'm currently reading Davita's Harp and slowly finishing.. My ultimate favourite is Under the Hawthorn Tree so far. It's been awhile so I'm not sure if I typed the name right xD
 
Right now, Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn and Cinder by Marissa Meyer. They were both recommended by a few of my closest friends, so I decided to try them out. I'm really enjoying them so far.
 
I finished Mary Calme's Forging the Future last night. It was the fifth novel in a series that was supposed to be a trilogy. I was so excited for its release! Especially after how disappointing book four was, but hearing that book five went back to focus on the original characters from the first three books gave me hope for it. I found the first few chapters promising but it soon became a drag. I think I'm just going to pretend it was just a trilogy as intended and try to forget about the last two books.

Trying to decide whether to read a book from my backlog next or to purchase book two in another series I started last month. Oh, or finish Uglies - but I'm 50 pages in and struggling with it. It's still in set-up!
