What are you reading Wednesday – 10/7/15
Well, it looks like I completely missed Tuesday this week. I got distracted and never wrote my Top Ten list, and now it is Wednesday already. I’ll see if I can get back on track! 🙂 Before I get too far though, I want to stop and thank Sarah from Sarah’s Bookshelf – I won her book giveaway and received these in the mail yesterday!
Now back to WAYRW…..
What Are You Reading Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by It’s A Reading Thing. To participate, open the book you are currently reading to page 34 (or 34% in your ebook) and answer these three questions.
The Questions are:
1. What’s the name of your current read?
2. Go to page 34 in your book or 34% in your eBook and share a complete sentence. (or two!)
3. Would you like to live in the world that exists within your book? Why or why not?
Now for my answers this week…
1. Still reading my same books, but I have started a new audiobook – The Hidden Child by Camilla Läckberg.
2. Since it is an audiobook, I can’t give you a quote from page #34, but I can give you a quote from the book – “And it is always the victors who write the historical narrative.”. This is an opinion held by “Sweden’s Friends”, a Neo-Nazi group who believe that historians have painted a negative and unrealistic picture of the Nazi’s and the Holocaust, and that Sweden needs to make major policy changes.
3. This story shifts back and forth between present day Sweden, and WW2 era Sweden and Norway. I would not mind visiting or even spending time living in Sweden or Norway now, but if I had to travel into the past when there were Nazi’s about, then I would NOT want to live there!
So how about you? Leave a link to your own post or let me know what you are reading this week in the comments. (and if you’ve read any of the books in this series, I’d love to know what you thought of them!)
I am reading Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children. It’s a bit of a slow burner so far but I have heard great things about it so I will persist 🙂

I read it and found it kind of slow too, but I did end up liking it. Hope you will too!

I also wouldn’t want to live in that time period…I don’t think anyone would want to. Congrats on your win. Hope you enjoy reading them.

I think you’re right; I can’t imagine anyone would. And thanks – I’m sure I will enjoy both! 🙂

Sounds like an interesting read! I’ve heard of Camilla Lackberg before but have never read anything by her. (Then again, I rarely read mystery/thrillers.) Here’s a link to my #WAYRW post: http://girlplusbooks.blogspot.com/2015/10/what-are-you-reading-wednesday-05.html

This is my first – and I didn’t realize it was book #5 in a series! If there’s anything I’m missing by not reading in order I haven’t noticed though…

Good morning Erika 🙂
1. What’s the name of your current read?
Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper by J.L.Bryan – It is the first in a 5 book series. And I’m enjoying it. 🙂
2. Go to page 34 in your book or 34% in your eBook and share a complete sentence. (or two!)
“Tips for breaking into an abandoned mental hospital: first, get permission for the current owner . . . Second: go during the daytime. Third: go with a large group. Stacy and I followed one of these three suggestions.”
3. Would you like to live in the world that exists within your book? Why or why not?
Not really. It is set in Savannah, Georgia – which I have visited twice actually. But it is a hot and muggy part of the country and I’m a cool weather loving Yankee girl. Hahaha! That said, it is a beautiful and fascinating city that I would love to go back to visit sometime.

I think you’ll like it. It’s fairly light reading. There are some suspense/thriller type of scenes but nothing get super gory or anything. The title had sounded sort of YA to me, but it isn’t a YA book. I used to watch “Ghost Hunters” all the time and it has that sort of feel to it.
I’m always impressed that you read as much as you do. 🙂

My husband likes Ghost Hunters so we watch that a lot – I will probably like it. As for reading, I go in spurts! I’ve had a dry week or two, and now I need to get caught up!

I read “To Kill a Mockingbird” in high school, I actually want to read it again because I don’t really remember the book. I’m currently reading The Girl on the Train – Paula Hawkins, so far its interesting enough hopefully it will get better the more I read I’m only on page 10.

I’ve never read To Kill a Mockingbird, so I’m looking forward to it! I did read The Girl on the Train though…it seems to suck you into the story more and more as you go. Hope you like it!
