I've put The Secret Scripture aside and am now reading Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland.

[Deb]

I'm just finished a biography of Milk Fanning, Surf for your life. I'm just starting The Devils Eye, by Ian Townsend, a fictionised story but based on real events of hurricane Mahina in North qld, 1899. so I am a very Aussie reader at the moment.

[Nicki]

I haven't done this for a while, so I thought I'd weigh in with my current reads. At present, I am reading an MM anthology, plus an MM short (both for review), while in my personal reading, I am about to start Orlando and am making my way through the two box sets of Vampire Knight manga.

[Carolyn]

I've finally got around to reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It's really very good (so far). It's been on the top of my tbr and on my kindle for ages so I don't know why it's taken me so long to get to it.

[Dale]

Currently reading Forever With You. Something light again, I hope, after finishing my last read Inside the O'Briens

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Surf for Your Life by Mick Fanning
The Devil's Eye by Ian Townsend
Those are the links for you Deborah.
Yours are too hard Nicki. Perhaps you could link them so we can all share them.
Thanks:)

I have it here at home. Bought it from a Lifeline fair months ago but haven't got to it yet. One day!

In a word - yes! A police investigation of a crime/murder etc:)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Just started Aurora

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Yeah it's interesting so far.

[Marianne]

After I read History's People: Personalities and the Past I gave it to DH to read. Took him a while but he finished it today, making a grand total of two books this year!!

Good for him! Obviously not a big reader Marianne;)

I've just started it too, so far so good.

[Ryan]

Started Isaac Asimov's Foundation.

[B the BookAddict]

I've started Into the Wilderness by Sara Donati

[Ryan]

I'm reading a fantasy anthology - Engraved on the Eye, by Saladin Ahmed. It has a Middle Eastern flavour, which is always fun.

[Sally906]

I am having a break from Christmas themed books and reading Much Ado About Magic by Shanna Swendson right now for my at work book.

BUT

I also have The Secret Christmas Ciphers by Carolynn Carey and On Strike for Christmas by Sheila Roberts around as well for my bedtime read and lounge room read respectively.

I could never read more than one book at a time. My brain would be scrambled. :)

I finished reading Star Promise yesterday and I gave it 5 stars. Here's my review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[B the BookAddict]

I am knee-deep in Sara Donati's opening novel of her Wilderness series called Into the Wilderness. 'knee-deep' means about halfway thru! I'm starting to fret that I won't have Book #2 ready at hand, as it's coming via inter-library loan:(

Upstate New York in 1790's with Elizabeth Middleton, Nathaniel Bonner and their assorted Anglo and Indian co-characters. There's even a nod to Diana Gabaldon as a couple of Outlander characters make guest appearances.

I've been reading Robert Drewe lately. His essays are better than his fiction.

Robert Drewe

[Ryan]

In a mad scramble to complete my personal challenge I'm reading novellas. Just started Binti by Nnedi Okorafor.

[Jennifer]

I'm reading a self published work: Sooner or Later We All Come Home by Roz Baker.
It's Australian, with a start in Ireland, and I liked the story.

Also Motherhood & Creativity: The Divided HeartMotherhood & Creativity - by Rachel Power. Real, inside stories on well-known and lesser-known creative artists, actors, writers. Australian.

[Ryan]

I bought that second one for my wife, but she hasn't had time to read it, Jennifer.

I've read and own a signed copy of that one plus Sooner or Later We All Stop Laughing Jennifer:)

[K]

As well as Daughters of Fortune , I am also reading A French Girl in New York on my iPhone. The first has been really engrossing (I'm almost finished). The second one is cute and readable enough, but quite silly with not much substance.

[Michael]

I am reading Carmilla, a vampire story that predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by about 25 years.

It does sound good.

[Mish]

I have just finished Europa blues by Arne Dahl- complex and intricate, and I'm not sure if I was able to full grasp every detail and twist but I got the gist of what's happened at the end.

I'm now starting Rush Oh! by Shirley Barrett -

[Ryan]

I just started Krampus: The Yule Lord in time for the festive season. Ho ho ho!

[Stef]

still reading Middlesex Usually I wouldn't like such a long and difficult book but it is exceptionally written!

[B the BookAddict]

@Stef One of my favourite books. I Eugenides really wrote a fantastic story here.

[K]

I am reading The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs for the December challenge and also Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis: Far Horizons . Both are good so far.

[George]

I swing between agreeing with you and some of the time not enjoying it. The plotting is masterfully done though! And the length is definitely called for, there is no spare writing.

Sounds good! Middlesex is on my iPad. I read The Virgin Suicides earlier this year and enjoyed it very much — if anyone can enjoy such a dark topic.

I've just started The Art of Fiction. I've been delving into lit-crit and author biographies lately, and thought this book might be a good addition. I'm enjoying it so far, as David Lodge has a light touch.

You people who do netgalley should try to get hold of this one Coffin Road it's good!

I'm about halfway, Brenda, and it's a real page-turner. I could have happily stayed at home to read it instead of going to work!
(although I have this with quite a few books)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! Yes that's true. I have it down for a challenge, so will get to it soon:) I loved his previous one!

Sounds good Marianne. Hachette won't let me have books to review on NG so I'll have to wait for it to come out :(
