Yeah! Someone I can chat with about it! :) What part are you at?

I am on p221 of This Duchess of Mine and the second chapter of the 1st book in the sookie stackhouse series...
So far, both are good!

I'm now reading the Legend by Suzanne Robinson, it is for one of my July Challenges.

I'm on p.110 of Kite Runner and find I have to break the intensity for a while, so I'm also reading a cozy-mystery: Chocolate Chip Murder Mystery
Currently about halfway through Woman in White (audiobook). Wasn't sure at first that I'd like it, but after I finish reading the threads, I'm going to willingly do the ironing so I can continue my listening (it's too hot right now to work outside).




On to A Match Made in Hell by Terri Garey which promises me humor, romance, family scandals, ghosts, and mystery. Looking forward to a quick, fun read after the Host!








I've been sooo tempted to pick up 'The Count of Monte Cristo', but have just never actually done it. Part of the problem is I've already seen one of the movies based on it and I hate it when I read the book after seeing the movie. The only reason I think I read
Memoirs of a Geisha was because I wanted to see the movie, but I had to read the book first. Not a bad book, still haven't seen the movie though.
Maybe I'll move 'The Count of Monte Cristo' up on my TBR list.

I understand, I haven't seen the movie of Count but I got to watch my other classmates read it in 10th grade and they loved it. So taking in the fact that the group that read it was full of non-readers I figured that it definitly had something I would enjoy. I just got around to it.
I don't like reading things after I've seen the movie either, but some I find that it actually makes better. For instance Lord of the Rings is wonderful no matter when you read it and you'll find that the movies compliment very well, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was amazing in written form and the voices from the movie kept playing in my head. So maybe this will be one of those for you, of course the movie is probably abridged like most versions of the book so if you want something different try the unabridged version (granted it's around 1200+ pages and the abridged is around 500+)


Continue to slowly work my way thru Yiddish Policemen's Union. If it weren't for the fact that I have this book in two challenges, I'd invoke my 100-page rule (I'm presently on p. 109), but I'm going to continue - there must be a reason why other people really liked it.


When you finish, will you please let us know how you liked it? I've had it on my TBR pile for a few months now, but haven't gotten around to it yet :)



Starting The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen. Finally got it from the library. I hate when books are over due and I'm waiting on them!

Here is my review of Empress New Clothes, enjoy!

Any other questions or comments please ask.


It's about Rev. Jim Jones, The People's Temple, and the Jonestown Massacre.
A friend gave it to me for my birthday this year.
yeah, it's a weird book for a birthday, but I really wanted it.


I will probably start with The Tenth Circle A Novel or In Cold Blood today.


I love this series. I do wish the books weren't so long though.
