I read Anne Boleyn and Me which was a good short read for task 25.3, and I've moved on to the pretty crap Dark Touch: Shadows by Amy Meredith for part B of task 25.2. Normally I'd have abandoned it but I don't have another book to read for this task so I have to get it finished!

[BJ Rose]

Found a spot for Let It Be Love as a Comfort Read for #5.9. Now reading A Fatal Grace, which will pair with Into the Dark for #15.4

[Sue]

Reading The Search by Nora Roberts for 5.9.

[Dee]

i'm getting ready to head into work for 12 hours to figuring out what books to take...right now its lookingn like:
City of Veils: A Novel - for City Lights
Girls Gone Mild: Young Women Reclaim Self-Respect and Find It's Not Bad to Be Good - Feminist Literature
The Postmistress - Bookmarks Magazine
and a Rachel Gibon for the Literature Map...I think that should be enough - right?

[BJ Rose]

Dee, Girls Gone Mild sounds like a really good idea!

[Dee]

I picked it up from the library today...sorta looking forward to it...

Dee I definitely think that should be plenty...if only I had that much time to read at work. *Goes into a daydream*

[Dee]

I am reading Anno Dracula as the book outside my comfort zone--and is it ever!
And listening to 1st to Die by James Patterson while I get my sewing done.

Yeah I am working 12 today too, but since I work as a supervisor in a plant above anywhere from 10-50 people a day reading at work is not an option. Only during my breaks that I can sneak away for.

[Dee]

lol...that sucks!! its only me and 2 others here...and its mucho quiet...we are monitoring computers and TV...

Just finished Russian Winter which I could not put down. Now off to hopefully finish The Telltale Turtle.

[Zakiya]

Just finished The Giver, and am about to start Catching Fire.

[chucklesthescot]

Finished Dark Touch: Shadows yesterday.I started then abandoned Soulless as I just didn't like the Victorian setting and society. To complete my latest task I switched to The Turning by Jennifer Armintrout which I'm liking so far!

[BJ Rose]

Reading The Merlot Murders for #10.2
Well-told story, but how dysfunctional can one family get?!

[Charity]

A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks

[Sue]

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer for 25.3d.

[Juniper]

Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

[Dee]

I just finished up reading City of Veils: A Novel - all I can say is Wow. I highly recommend it if people don't have a book for the city lights task yet (it is a relatively new release however, I was lucky that my library had a copy)

now onto The Postmistress for the bookmarks magazine task...and i'm reading Girls Gone Mild: Young Women Reclaim Self-Respect and Find It's Not Bad to Be Good a chapter or so a night, i'm a bit conflicted with it right now but its an interesting read

[★Meghan★]

Ok so I am now starting Mockingjay for 20.10 so I can finally get some points on the board

[Bluemoon]

Finished The Telltale Turtle and Dragon Flight. Now on to Shadows in Scarlet.

[Brooke]

I just finished Little Bee and started A Northern Light. I'm also eagerly awaiting a package containing The Luxe Box Set and Mistress of Rome...any day now! I can't wait to dive into those books!

[Petra]

I'm going to visit family for a few days, which involves a ferry ride and waiting time in the car. I'm bringing along Crocodile on the Sandbank (almost finished), Coffee: A Dark History (pecking away at this one), Bored of the Rings: A Parody of J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Glass-Blowers.
That should cover all reading "moods" while I'm away.
See you all when I get back. I may even have some points to claim by then, who knows?!

[Nicoletta]

Currently in the middle of Under the Dome by Stephen King. This book is seriously taking me foreverrrr.

[Amanda B.]

I read Romeo and Juliet this weekend. I always knew the story but never read the whole thing before, so I lacked details. After getting past the dialect I really did get into the story and enjoyed it. Hopeing that the fatal end that everyone knows would somehow end another way! Saturday I had to finish Shoeless Joe before going to the library and now I'm trying to finish Tess of D'Uberville. Then onto a 30 point task because I'm tired of getting measly 5 points each time I post! LOL :)

I am enjoying it. I loved the first book in the series and I look forward to continuing. Goldy is such a funny character.

[Sue]

I've got two going right now The Grilling Season and Breaking Dawn

ugh, so since the book I read for We Need a Drink ended with a huge cliff-hanger (darn it)...i'm going to get the next one in the series (also named after a drink) and use it for Second Chances...the other book I picked for that also came into the library today...

[Bluemoon]

I also read that for the drink task. I am also looking to read the next one sometime soon. I have about 8 books out of the library that I need to finish first.

[Dee]

i picked up Cherry Bomb at the library today (yay they had it) and The Cookbook Collector also came in (its a no renews allowed book, so I need to get it read) for Second Chances...might start those tonight!

[chucklesthescot]

Will be finishing Tempest Rising by Nicole Peeler in the next half hour for task 5.10 Name that Car. The book is ok but not as good as I hoped. Great cover though.

[Sue]

I'm getting ready to start Carrot Cake Murder for 20.8.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I love the Hannah Swanson series.

[Petra]

I just got back from a few days of visiting my step-dad. While away, I finished reading Coffee: A Dark History (interesting in parts; dry in parts) and Crocodile on the Sandbank. I really enjoyed Amelia Peabody and will be reading more of the series.
I've now started Island of the Sequined Love Nun and am listening to The Golden Mean, which I'm really enjoying but wish I knew more about Aristotle and Alexander The Great.

[Dee]

i'm trying to finish up Countess of Scandal (2010 Debut Author); Collision Course (Group Hug) and The Cookbook Collector (Recommended books) and picked up The Sugar Queen (Recommended Books) and Confessions of a Pagan Nun: A Novel (The First Estate) while I was at the library today

[Sue]

I'm reading A Certain Justice for 5.4, need to pick up The Red Queen at the library for 5.1

[★Meghan★]

I will be finishing Mockingjay today and will either start up on Clockwork Angel (Group Hug) or Water Song: A Retelling of "The Frog Prince"(25.3 C). Anybody have a recommendation on which one?

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I would go for the fairy tale retelling, but that is me.

[Kathy G.]

I'm reading Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. It takes me back to my own childhood in the
early 60's. You have not lived until you've jumped off the neighbor's garage onto a matress. :-)

[Susan]

I'm reading "The Island" by Elin Hilderbrand. I like her books, because they are fast reads. I have no idea where I am going to put in for a task, but I checked it out from the library, so I have to finish it!

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finished with "The Passion of Artemisia" and going to start "The Iron King"
