It's Monday - What are you reading

Sheila over at Book Journey has an incentive for networking so go over and have fun while continuing to add to your 2011 Wishlist.

I'm currently reading - I'm not impressed, considered DNF but will push through it.

















I started this since I wasn't enjoying Dexter


















I completed and enjoyed - my review


















I have no idea what will be next, I have went through my Wishlist and my Kindle for next read, nothing is shouting 'read me read me', sigh.  I can't even decide what genre.  Dexter has really screwed with my reading flow, a bad book slightly puts me in a slump, hate that.

  1. I loved The Day Before, I still need a copy of it, but it was so, so good. :)

  2. Damn Dexter! Haha, I've heard a great load of The Day Before but I still haven't gotten to it yet ^_^ Happy belated New Years to you as well!

  3. I've heard good things about The Day Before. I must add it to my list. Sorry to hear about Dexter. I'm starting to give myself the permission to DNF books. I really didn't before, but now that my TBR list continues to grow I have to remind myself life is too short to read a bad book when there are so many great ones out there!

  4. My husband read one of the Dexter books and said it wasn't as good as the series.

  6. I don't watch Dexter, but I did consider reading the books. I'm sorry you aren't enjoying them. I know the feeling when you read a book that you don't like, it really does throw off your reading. I hope you get back into the swing of things.

  7. I liked the Dexter books but think this is one of the rare occasions where the TV show is much better. Funny how that does happen every once in a while! Good luck finding your reading mojo!

  8. Wasn't impressed with Dexter. Read back in 2009 and I saw that I rated it 2 stars at the time. I probably wasn't as harsh about rating back then (before blogging) and I hardly remember what happened in the book.

    I'd recommend Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. It is YA historical - I think you'd like it. I just finished Dirty Little Secrets and enjoyed that too (thanks to your review!) so I think you'd enjoy this YA - I read it fast even though I wasn't really in a reading mood (my last book of the year).

  9. I never understood the hoopla about the Dexter TV show or the books - it never really worked for me. I hope you find something to read this week that draws you in.

  10. I haven't tried the books. I did try the TV series and was seriously looking forward to it as it promised to be different, but the problem with sociopaths is you can't empathise with them, so what room is there for viewer involvement? Just couldn't get into it and was very disappointed that I couldn't.

  11. Do hope that reading slump disappears very soon and a book grabs you.

    Have a great week

  12. I REALLY liked Memoirs of a Widowed Mistress. Such an interesting story and well written.

    Bummer about Dexter. I haven't read the books but am in love with the show. I think you would love the show too.

  13. I read the 1st Dexter book and never continued on with the series. I thought that it was an okay read but I never really connected with it. So many others are such huge fans that I've thought about trying the series again at some point...who knows if I actually will though. Hope you find a book that you actually enjoy reading :)

  14. I think the Dexter books are very different from the show....I started with the books so I like them slightly better than the show. However, I know people who said the books are horrid if you read them after starting the show :)
