Winter. Snow is falling in some places, rain in others. And still others are enjoying year-round 72 degree weather (but we’ll just pretend they don’t exist so we don’t have to erupt in a jealous rage). With all that inclement weather, it’s a perfect time to whittle down your reading list.
Whether your list is a few books long or a few hundred (million) books long, there’s surely a few just begging to be read right away. Here’s some of the books I’m planning to read over the next several weeks.
- The Clockwork Giant by Brooke Johnson (I’m reading this one now)
- RSVP: Invitation to an Alchuklesh Massacre (A Noah Winter Novel) by Jay Squires
- Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
- Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding
- The Winslow Incident by Elizabeth Voss
- Farsighted by Emlyn Chand
- Cheating Death by Richard Monro
- The Shining by Stephen King (this one’s a reread)
What’s at the top of your reading list right now? Any recommendations?

Red – Kait Nolan
I am reading a Screenwriting book right now… I need like four more hours in a day and I think I’ll get more done.
Great post, Sonia.
Here are some books that have been loitering around my bedside table as of late:
“Area 7″ by Matthew Reilly
“Carte Blanche” by Jeffrey Deaver
“Wizard and the Glass” by Stephen King
“Duma Key” by Stephen King
“Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Phillip K. Dick
For AR–Duma Key is one of my favorites. I’ve read it 5 times.
Sonia, I am currently struggling through a bad indie book with 2 good ones following behind.
My reading is pretty much limited to Westerns like Louis L’Amour and non-horror mysteries like John D MacDonald. Current writers I like are Julie Cave, Lee Child and Stuart Woods.
I have been trying to read the Templar Chronicles Trilogy by Joseph Nassise since I bought the whole trilogy for $9.99 on e-book. I keep reading the first chapter, and then can’t seem to get time to read any further. This time I’m going to do it!
As I prepare to move, I’ve been sorting every book I own. It’s a process with ups and downs. I didn’t like the part where I took 100+ volumes, which I won’t have room for, to Half-Price Books and walked out with $25. I kinda do like the part where I was forced to remember / locate all those books I casually picked up on sale, then promptly forgot about. I found more than 40 “new” books. I’ll get started on them as soon as I’ve finished King’s 11/22/63.
Thanks so much for mentioning me on your blog post. I just started my blog and it means so much to me. You have a great blog…I am an avid reader and I love the ideas and suggestions you give out. Thanks again I appreciate the mention!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
oops forgot to tell you my blog in case you don’t know who I am…

@Victoria: I loved the movie but hadn’t read the book yet. I’m excited to check it out.
@Tiffany: I hear ya. My list seems never-ending. Especially when I keeps seeing new books I want to read. I loved Red! And I really want to start reading Jim Butcher…I haven’t yet -blush-
@Darlene: Under the Dome was pretty interesting. Not sure about the ending. You’ll have to let me know what you think.
@Anthony: I haven’t heard of Do Androids Dream. Sounds pretty interesting. I always get hooked by a good title.
@Amberr: Duma Key was pretty good!
@David: It’s been a long time since I tried out a western. I’m trying to diversify my reading so I’ll have to check it out, especially L’Amour
@Lara: Oooh, Templars. Going to have to check it out too.
@Renae: It’s so hard parting with books but it’s great to find “new” reads already on your shelf. Let me know what you think of 11/22/63. I read it not too long ago.
I’m reading James Rollins’ Devil Colony and a great historical set during the Great Depression called Jonathan’s Cross. My TBR list numbers over 50 titles sitting on my shelf and my Kindle. Most are Barbara Delinsky types, mysteries and historical fiction set in the early 1900′s.
I’m rereading It! And I’ve got King’s latest on the endless TBR pile. But at the moment I’m just at the first stages of discovering the genius of Neil Gaiman and I’m reading everything I can get.
Sorry I’m late to the party. I woke up this morning and a week had gone by (Figuratively speaking of course. No Hemingway-worthy bender was involved
Anyway, I loved the movie version of Bridget Jones, but I’ve heard the book is very good. As for me, I’ve been circling *The Odyssey* for awhile now, and think it’s about time I finally dove in and read it. Happy ready!
@Marcia: I loved The Devil Colony!
@Deniz: It was one of those books I read almost straight through. Seriously. And it’s definitely one of books that endures in my imagination. Scary! Neil Gaiman is pretty durn awesome. Have you read The Graveyard Book? One of my favorites.
@Tim: I’ve been circling The Odyssey too. Eventually I’ll dive in.
