Oh I forgot I'm also reading Miss Scarlet's School of Patternless Sewing but I'm having trouble sticking with it.

I am reading Crystal Gardens which I won here on Goodreads and do not even remember registering for (it is not my normal type of book). On audiobook I am listening to Matilda (only because it is narrated by the FANTASTIC actress Kate WinsletThe Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle and Catch a Falling Star

THE BELL JAR is the epitome of depressing! If you've never been depressed before, you will be when you read that book!

[Heidi]

That is how I felt after reading The Road Melodie. Depressed as he**.

[Kirsten]

I've been reading and listening to

Reading Hounded. Love a visit with Andy Carpenter and the gang!

I finished reading The Bell Jar around 9:30 last night, and found myself wishing I'd finished at least two hours earlier, so as to take a long walk and clear my head before bed. As it was, I woke up about 2am, unable to get back to sleep for two hours -- which I blame on this book. The writing is excellent, but it's also quite depressing. I ended up starting the next book in the Aunt Dimity queue, Aunt Dimity and the Next of Kin, and read the first two chapters before I was finally able to sleep again.

When not curled up with a cozy,I'm reading, in order of arrival unless otherwise designated by publisher, my stack of Goodreads first-reads books.

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout

[Kirsten]

I've been reading by Barbara Scheiber. I heard about this book on Weekend Edition on NPR: http://www.npr.org/2014/05/10/3112761...

The author wrote the book in her 90's! It's very, very good. I picked it up on Amazon as my first Kindle Unlimited "purchase". I recommend it!

I started The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins over the weekend for a classic group read. I hoped to get halfway through, but only managed a quarter of it due to a nasty headache most of Sunday. I had to set it aside after every chapter or two. :-\

Currently reading The Forbidden Library .

[Kirsten]

I've been reading by Emma Donoghue (author of ) and by Susan Squires (a KU "purchase"). I've also been listening to by one of my favorite authors Margaret Atwood

[BJ Rose]

I seem to have temporarily settled in Harmony, Texas. I read and loved Welcome to Harmony and am now reading book 2 - Somewhere Along The Way

[Nancy]

Read a few of the later Harmony books & am hooked!

[Melissa]

Just starting Countdown .

Joel Rosenberg was mentioned to me as an author worth looking into, and when a copy of The Copper Scroll came into the used bookstore I grabbed it.
The first fifteen pages are good!

As soon as I finished Somewhere Along The Way I ordered the next 2 books - I can't really describe why they're so good, they just are!

[Nancy]

I like Joel Rosenberg too. Our book club has read a couple of his.

[J.A.]

Finally got around to reading Gone Girl - totally gripping, in the best way! Not my usual genre to read, so any recommendations of similar (great plot, great twists, not too much gore/disturbing violence) would be welcome. =)

Also just finished The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase by Mark Forsyth - fascinating book about classic forms of rhetoric and how they're used in memorable phrases.

[Gerrie]

I'm reading "The Hundred Year House" and it grabbed my interest immediately then sort of leveled out and just when I thought this book could either be amazing or a real waste of time it sort of exploded. Now I'm racing to the end.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Still reading The Moonstone, but am finally seeing a light at end of the tunnel, being now 3/4 of the way through. I am hoping to finish it by end of the day Saturday. I started out reading a print version, but due to the miniscule print, switched to an ereader version, on loan from a friend -- it is MUCH easier to read, and makes the reading faster.

[Bonnie]

I am reading .

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Completed The Moonstone last night -- and how appropriate is it that I finished on the night of a "Super Moon"? Reread Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson this morning, and have now started Hot Rocks by Nora Roberts.

[Teresa]

I started Angel Fire East by Terry Brooks last night. I read the first two books in this series earlier this year and wanted to make sure I finished this one this year.

[Patty]

Reading

[Ellen]

I'm reading One Good Turn by Scottish writer Kate Atkinson. Brilliant.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished Hot Rocks and started Finding the Dream, both by Nora Roberts.

[Karen M]

I'm reading Salvage which is a dystopian novel. Very different than the other book I'm reading, The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection but I'm enjoying both of them.

[Patty]

Just started

[Gerrie]

I just finished The Hundred Year House and The Supernatural Enhancements . I really enjoyed The Hundred Year House, and am going to think about the plot in The Supernatural Enhancements for quite awhile before I make my final judgement on it.

[Gerrie]

I'm now starting The Angel of Losses .

[Nancy]

Reading (& enjoying) Claire Knows Best
by Tracey Bateman. It's down to earth.

[Debbie]

The Castaways Elin HilderbrandReading a favorite author. I always enjoy her books.

[Rhonda]

I love her books too.

[Melissa]

Currently reading The Shadow of the Wind .

[[deleted user]]

Just finished Brilliance . Great suspense novel with a sci-fi twist. I'd recommend it.

[Bridget's Quiet Corner]

[Bonnie]

I am starting . Haven't read a Love Inspired Suspense novel in a while.

[Dotty]

I just finished The Thirty Nine Steps by John Buchan.

The 39 Steps

I liked it but it's very different from the old Hitchcock movie. Also, I never knew it was a series.

[alicia]

The last non cost I read was which I loved as usual. It's my favourite guilty pleasure. I have a huge book crush on Dexter.

[Heidi]

Listening to The Silkworm on audio

[Janice]

I've been reading a lot of non-fiction. I write fiction (cozies!), and I find that sometimes having my plots and the plots of books I'm reading swirling around at the same time is too much for my small brain to handle.

I just finished reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves

It's a fast read, and funny at times. Good for authors, but casual readers may not be that engaged.

And am listening to A Whole New Mind
As an audio-book, I am enjoying it. It's dry at times, so it has been nice to listen while doing other quiet things. I think it would have given up on it if I was reading it instead of listening.

[[deleted user]]

The Boleyn King is due back at the library so it will be my faithful companion over the next couple of days.

I've read the first two in the series and I have the third one, Mr. Standfast waiting on my Kindle. I love the older more traditional cozies.

[Bonnie]

Now reading .

[Lorraine]

I just finished Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. I really enjoyed it

[Ellen]

I just finished One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson. Complicated with a densely twisted plot that snares every character in a page- turning ride. Atkinson writes brilliantly. Bear with a little confusion at the beginning and you're in for a riveting read!

I read this, and I loved it! Definitely not an author though...just someone who gets aggravated by gross punctuation misconduct (and also need to improve myself...).
