The Book Chat: What Are You Currently Reading


for The Blogger Book Chat.

I'm trying to fit in three books this month for three different reasons but who doesn't love a challenge that involves books?  The first is The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin and the book selection for Literary Junkies book club.  It deals with an American woman who travels Europe and ends up with a suitor.  I feel like it will cover the idea of not having expectations met and good doses of reality.  The second, Total Frat Move, is a book I'm reviewing that is completely hilarious.  I stopped following TFM on Twitter because most of the tweets are beyond ridiculous, but while reading the book, it is wildly entertaining.  The last is Gone Girl, which I have been dying to read and the selection for Bonnie's Book Club.  Life of Bon was one of my Blog Obsessions for February and I am so excited to see her with this new "novel" idea.  Hardy har, I've got jokes.

The Blogger Book Swap is underway!  If you haven't linked up and you're participating, check out the post below.  It is wonderful to see so many avid readers sharing their experiences.  My swap buddy, Christina, has been a joy to work with and I can't wait to send her the complete package (still waiting on the book to come in...le sigh).  Anywho, I can't wait to share on the page what I received from Christina.

I also just found out about Real Simple's No Obligation Book Club- I am a sucker for a book club.

Thanks for reading and be sure to check out the link-up!

  1. Three books in a month! You're on a roll - do you read them one after the other or all at the same time? I have the hardest time reading more than one book at a time.

    1. I don't normally attempt three but I'm an awkward moving/have time on my hands type of life event so I'm holding myself to this challenge for February.

  2. Wow. I give you credit for tackling three books in one month. Some months it's hard to even get into one book!

    1. Oh I totally feel you on that. The goal is three but we'll see. I really want to be more active with these online book clubs, so I'm trying :)

  3. WOW girl! I wish I had the time/dedication to read 3 books in a month! I've been on a good stretch lately, but 3 is a lot. Then again, if you're like me, you won't want to put "Gone Girl" down (after you get past the first 100 pages). Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

    1. Super excited for "Gone Girl" and I'm hoping to get through all three throughout the month of February. I'm hoping all of them have that "can't put it down" type of literary flavor to em :)

    1. That's the plan, too! I definitely don't have enough time for reading but since I'm wrapping up training, I have slots of time. Therefore I'm trying to incorporate more reading into them. It's a challenge I'm willing to accept for February :)

  5. I read Gone Girl and it definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. I loved how it switched between the husband and wife's point of view. I also read The American Heiress. I'll save my opinion since you're about to read it, but it's one of the ones I'm reviewing on February 1.

    1. Just catching up on comments now, but I'll definitely have to check out your review for the book. Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to dive into both. Still trying to wrap up the first one.

  6. Gone Girl has been on my to-read list for ages, and on my bookshelf too! I really need to get to that one ASAP I've heard amazing things about it!
