What are you reading?

[Kate]

I am loving Olive Kitteridge and enjoying Heart Shaped Box.

[Susan]

I'm reading the Kite Runner. Excellent!

[Kate]

Hey Susan! I've never read that; I guess I should! I'm reading "The Little Stranger"

[Amar]

I've read Kite Runner and thought it was such a wonderful book, the movie really didn't do it justice. Please try A Thousand Splendid Suns by KH too, it is also a great read.

I am reading Over the Edge, a romantic suspense novel.

[Kate]

Have you read Lady w/ Dragon Tattoo? Loving it! I'm reading it for a bookgroup here @ goodreads. Aiming for reading 50 books this year but I've slowed down a bit lately.

[Crystal]

From Westfield MA here! Reading: A Certain Slaint of Light. Not bad! Very different.

[Kate]

Hey Crystal -- what's that about?

[Crystal]

It's about a girl that is dead and it's her point of view. It's interesting. It gives you a different idea of 'ghosts'. She can't see other ghosts and no one can see her...until a boy notices her and she gets frightened. It's very cool.

[Kate]

That is right up my alley -- will put it on my TBR list.

[Crystal]

You can have mine!

[Kate]

I'll meet you @ Starbucks and swap some book with you. Have you read So B. It?

[Crystal]

Sounds good! No I haven't read that one! Have you read any Jodi Piccoult?

[Kate]

Yes, but only 19 Minutes. I've collected several others from swaptree.com. What are your favorites?

[Crystal]

My fav jodi picoult book is perfect match. But I've read quite a few.

[Kate]

I have The Pact here somewhere and I want to read that. A bunch of others, too -- I'll list them just in case you want one.

[Crystal]

The pact was good!

[Kate]

Just finished The Help -- pretty good. Finishing Psychic Book of Deliverance Dane today -- also pretty good. Moving on to Thirteen Reasons Why and The Man who Loved Books Too Much.

[Jennifer]

Hi! I just joined - glad to find a local group. Anyway, I'm currently reading The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart.

[Kate]

Hey Jennifer, great to meet another local Goodreads fan. I'm now reading Confederacy of Dunces for my face-to-face bookclub and LOVING IT. It's hilarious. Then on to one called Patron Saint of Liars by Ann Patchett and I have the second in the Girl w/ Dragon Tattoo series lined up after that -- Girl who played w/ Fire, maybe? I always fall asleep before I get through a bunch of chapters as planned!!!

[Kate]

Enjoying any of the other bookclubs on goodreads? I'm in my second year of the 50 book challenge and do that bookclub. I'm hoping to be @ 100 books/year eventually -- but not while I have young kids scampering around!!!

[Jennifer]

I tried to keep up with the sci-fi/fantasy book club, but I have 8 week old twins which makes reading difficult!

[Kate]

TWINS!! I am impressed that you are reading at all. It's a necessity for me; right up there w/ food and water. What's everyone reading?

[Kate]

But Inside I'm Screaming

I'm enjoying this one (read Me & Emma by Flock -- quite a read! This one doesn't have the same twists and turns). I love a good psychodrama (empahasis on the psych part . . )

[Kate]

Crystal -- sorry I haven't checked in for a while -- what's new?
