• What are you currently reading? The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln
by Stephen L. Carter. And I'm listing to Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan.
• What did you recently finish reading? I read Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. I give it a "meh," I'm not sure what all the fuss is about--I didn't find it particularly well written.
• What do you think you’ll read next? either Freeman by Leonard Pitts Jr. or Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys, my September book group selection.

Have a great school year! I am retired from all that, but the beginning of the school year always resonates. Looks like you have some good reads going.
:)

I have heard that about 50 Shades, some folks love it though. Maybe someday. I would love to read Will Grayson, Will Grayson, I need to pick that up. Thanks for stopping by my WWW.
A good friend of mine agreed that "Shades" was pretty poor writing. I won't go near it.
My list is at http://katybrandes.wordpress.com/2012/08/22/www-wednesdays-aug-22/.
While I like the *idea* of women reading liberating erotica, I'm not sure I'd like the content, so I'm staying away from 50 Shades.
I'd LOVE to hear what you think about the Lincoln book. About a year ago, when I went through Jackie's "Historic Tapes," she quoted JFK's fascination with Lincoln's legacy. He wondered if, had Lincoln lived, Abe would have been a hero after the Reconstruction because it was inevitably going to be a mess.
So many books, so little time!
Fascinated to know what you think of Lincoln. It's on my TBR pile.
