I'm going to try Far to Go by Alison Pick for my next read, it sounds very intriguing :)

Already downloaded Favole Indiane and will start it soon. It is the Italian title for Panchatantra: The Complete Version.
Next for me will be The Ministry of Fear by Graham Greene and As I Lay Dying since they are library books.
Have fun with the hobbit alannah! I'm halfway through The Light Between Oceans and then when I get finished, I'm going to get start on one of our all hallows readalong reads We have always lived in the castle since I got it at the library recently with the perks of being a wallflower.

Now I'm reading Inferno by Dan Brown but I've finally decided to read in the same time a book in english, Animal Farm by George Orwell. Some times ago I read 1984 by Orwell and I really really enjoyed it!

I have been reading quite a bit of Greene this year, but right now the streak is due to the fact that my library book is actually Classic Tales of Espionage & Suspense: Orient Express/This Gun for Hire/Our Man in Havana/The Ministry of Fear so 4 books in one!
The ones I checked out and am reading are library books too. My edgar allan poe short story collection I'm reading for all hallows read this year, I got it for christmas last year so I can't wait to read that collection too. :-)

Enjoy :)
Thanks leslie! :-) I will. Last year I read something wicked this way comes which was pretty good and so's the movie.

I'll be reading Styxx by sherrilyn kenyon next which is the new dark hunter novel. I'mgoing to finish the light between oceans today so I can be ready to pick up styxx from the library. I placed it on hold and it came in. Love sherrilyn kenyon's darkhunter, dreamhunter, the league and chronicles of nick series. She's my fave author from tennessee. :-)
I need help! I don't know what to read next: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern or The Stand by Stephen King. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Hello! I finally made it to posting... I am reading Light Between The Oceans but back to school bedlam for this teacher means my average pages read before I fall into a dead sleep is about 2! I'm looking forward to a weekend of lying up with a pot of coffee and getting stuck in :)
@Charbel I've read both if those this year. The Stand is a cracking read but long and involved. It took me a good month. The Night Circus is shorter but still quite detailed and involved. As a book, I personally preferred The Stand. I liked both though, so I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever you chose!

Waiting for Gertrude: I had started it but stopped to wait for dely. Now I have to pick it up again!
Just finished Vanity Fair and now can't decide between the group fiction read or group play. I have both waiting on my kindle and will decide tomorrow as I'm far too tired for a new book tonight
I will eventually but which order?!
Heather wrote: "I will eventually but which order?!"I'd suggest reading The Light Between Oceans first, since the group play will be going on until Dec.
That is an excellent point, Leslie. I think I will start it next so I can join in the discussions.
I'm currently reading The Mark of Zorrowhich is a pretty good read so I don't know what to read next after I finish with that one. I want to read Defianceby C.J. Redwine so I may get that one for my birthday next week. It looks pretty good. I got a bunch of ebooks on my tablet too.
I am taking a very long time getting through Conrad's The Secret Agent, but more due to interruptions than anything else. Anyway, the reason I mention it is that due to this longer than expected time, my next reads will be 2 library books due back in a week:Post Captain and Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA...
My next book will be Angel City, I got it through netgalley a while ago and I have been meaning to read it for ages.
Heading into The Lifeboat on Monday hoping to finish A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations: Two Novels later today then tomorrow have a day reflecting on it and write a review maybe. The other book in the volume Great Expectations I will try to read next month some time but Jane Eyreis beckoning and also I have a spooky read a long with Amber next month for Halloween.

Read it at the biginning of this year and liked it a lot. You need to have stomac, though ...
About to start - hopefully tomorrow morning, The Red and the Black after having just finished - and adhored - The Belly of Paris. It is incredible, but it is reminding me of my present situation with my brither and his wife: of course they are the fat and I'm the thin!!!! ;)

Laura - are you really about to start The Red and the Black? I have this as an audiobook and was just thinking about starting it tomorrow!
Really Leslie? I'm starting it tomorrow myself! But I don't think I can listen to it: I don't know any italian audiobook of it nd I'd find it ridicoulous to listen to it in english!!!!
LauraT wrote: "Really Leslie? I'm starting it tomorrow myself!

Hope you enjoy it though :)

Hope you enjoy it, I didn't enjoy as much when I first read it but I would like to re-read it sometime soon.

Thanks! Sometime you need to read something a few times before you really enjoy/appreciate the story :)
After I finish Bound, I am going back to finish The Book Clubon the overdrive reads library online and then I'll figure out what to read after that.
Next for me are some books for my personal challenges: The Old Bank House by Angela Thirkell & The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope.
Next for me is Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen which is my latest book club choice. After that, I will be reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle for a readalong.
