Literary Junkies: ECard Edition

1) What are you currently reading? Tell us about it.

 

Jessica:
Well I've been flipping back and forth between books a great deal these days. But mostly I've been reading In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, because I am a nutrition nerd these days. And Freakonomics.

Abigail:  
I am currently reading Diamond in the Rough by Shawn Colvin. I've been trying to finish it but I think I'm just not a fan of memoirs. I will finish it but in the words of Emily "Its not my taste but I appreciate the attempt." Gilmore girls? Anyone? :)

 


2) Summer is just ahead and my fav thing to fantasize is laying in a hammock with a good book. What are your top 3 fav "summer" reads?

 

 


Jessica:
First of all, in California summer is already HERE. I don't really have "summer" books. I would be able to sit in a hammock and read a murder mystery or something, because I am a total block out the world kind of reader. And I would get sunburned. But, for a good book, it would be totally worth it.




Abigail: 
Top "Summer" reads? Hmmm...I don't think I have any designated summer books but I love to just relax and read new books back to back every chance I get.

3) What are your top 3 summer "to-reads"?


Jessica:
I actually need to reevaluate my to-read list as I have been downloading hella (Can you tell I'm from California.. ha!) books lately.. and I just finished my two big "To-Reads" (Warm Zombies and Silver Linings Playbook) this week. Now I am not sure what to do with my life.


Abigail:
At the moment, Silver Linings Playbook, Beautiful Creatures, and Widow of the South. Although I have so many to-read books that if you ask me next week this list will be different.
 

4) What book do you wish they'd make it a movie of?

 

Jessica:

Abby mentioned in a previous Literary Junkies post, but her mom wrote a book called Dutiful Daughter (and a sequel called Baby Broker or Dedicated Doctor?). I would love to see that be in a movie! I think it would be as mind blowing as The Sixth Sense. (Seriously. You need to read it.)

 Abigail:

Oh so many to choose from. Ok The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis, The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor (Well the whole trilogy would make good movies), The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston, and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I could go on and on but I'll leave it at that. Ha

Jessica note: I second Gone Girl!

5) Has your favorite author published a book lately or going to publish a book soon? Tell us about it.

 

Jessica:
I don't really pay attention to this stuff. I find books on Good Reads. I read books Abigail tells me to. I just read books as they come to me. Except for when the Harry Potter books came out. I waited for that shit. 


Abigail:
Favorite author...I have a hard time just picking a favorite genre when asked. Well since I'm writing this kinda last minute, I think I'm going to pass on this question :P 

Abigail would like to add: 
Oh and CONGRATS to my bestest friend on graduating college!!! I'm so proud of you hun. I'm very blessed to have you in my life and I know you will go big places! Just don't forget about me when you become a hot shot designer. ;)

Jessica would like to add:
This reminds me of Abigail. She totally does this.

  1. It's always hard for me to decide if I want a book I love to be made into a movie or if I don't want it to be made into a movie, because of the possibility of the movie not being that great.

    All of my favorite authors are dead, so I don't get to hope and wait for more books coming out. Maybe I should choose new favorite authors...

    1. I know how you feel about the books into movies but if I love a book that much and then the movie sucks, I still have to see it and then re-read the book 5 million times over to remind me how its supposed to be. Its interesting to see on the screen how someone else interpreted the book compared to the images I have in my head. I know I'm a dork :P

    I want to read Warm Bodies (and see the movie as well) was it good? Also, congrats on graduating college!!

    Abigail:

    1. I haven't read the book but Warm Bodies was a good movie. Not what I expected but still good.
      I'm with you on Beautiful Creatures. I want to read the book so I can watch the movie. I hope its as good as it seems lol.
      Wouldn't Night Circus be an amazing movie?!? If its done right the visual affects would be stunning!

  3. I started listening to The Magicians Nephew {when I traveled a lot for work}, but never finished it. I really want to read all of the Narnia books now. So interesting!

    1. I love the Chronicles of Narnia. Just the description about the creation of Narnia I think would be utterly amazing if they could capture it visually. The books are definitely worth reading :)
