What are you reading?

Someone recommended to me Uprooted by Naomi Novik. I've only just started but it's already a pretty good book. Very much a fairytale with its setting and characters, but it moves quickly and already I've got the sense that there is a lot more underneath the simple exterior. I've got high expectations of this book and I hope I won't be let down.
 
^ I like her dragon alternate history novels.
 
I just finished reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It started off a little bit meh, but once you get more into the novel it gets really amazing, honestly. It's best to go into it if you don't know anything at all about the plot, either.
 
At the moment I'm reading Lirael, the second book of The Abhorsen Chronicles, by Garth Nix
They're quite dark books, but really thrilling and interesting. Very good :)
 
I was going to grab the book that comes after the one I had been reading and read that one, but then I remembered I have quite the backlog of books around here, maybe I should actually read at least one of those before I buy another one.

So I settled on one of the Dragonlance books sitting around here. Kendermore, by Mary Kirchoff. It's been years since I've read a Dragonlance book and it involves my favorite character from that series, so why not. :')
 
Finished Ruins and started the next book in the series, Visitors. At this point, I'm just wondering what was going on in Card's mind as he was writing it, because it feels "off." It's a very weird series, and I think it's going to fall under my "don't read again unless I really want to" pile.
 
I've just finished reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen, and I really enjoyed it. I had a fantastic cast of extremely - and almost scarily - relatable characters. I'm about to start Go Set a Watchman, Harper Lee's second book. I'm hoping that it will live up to its hype, and hopefully to its predecessor.
 
I finished Go Set a Watchman and I really enjoyed it! It was a little slow at first but I think it had a really strong push in the middle that kept me from putting it down until it was over. Now I feel the need to go re-read To Kill a Mockingbird and see how my perceptions of it might have changed..

But I'm not re-reading TKAM just yet. I've started She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. I read another Wally Lamb book earlier (I Know This Much Is True) that is so far one my favorite books of the summer, so I'm hoping the one I've just started is just as good.
 
Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
 
Reading The Martian. I wanna read the book before the movie comes out since the plot from the trailer exposition, while similar in ways to Interstellar, intrigued me.

I'm currently nearing the end of Fool's Errand by Robin Hobb
It's the first book in the Tawny Man trilogy - the sequel series to the Farseer trilogy
I LOVE these books - Robin Hobb's writing is fantastic, her books are a true joy to read; I've previously read her Rainwild Chronicles and the Farseer ones :)
