I'm reading Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult for 10.9 Earth Signs. LOVE Jodi Picoult!

[Dee]

I just finished up the Face on the Milk Carton the other day! I can't believe it shows up on the banned books list

I've been meaning to read it for years! So glad to finally get around to it."

[Kathy G.]

I'm reading Fire World by Chris D'Lacey. I hated to skip a couple in the series, but this one fit a task. I'm loving it. :-)

[Liora]

I am reading Legend in Green Velvet by Elizabeth Peters and The Aviary by Katherine O'Dell for the Go Green Challenge (15.4).

[Dionisia]

I am currently reading The Devil's Tickets: A Vengeful Wife, a Fatal Hand, and a New American Age by Gary M. Pomerantz, but keep getting distracted by all the other books I want to read for the challenge too. I think I may start Changing by Lily Hoang today. Can't resist!

[Midu]

[mstan]

Dionisa - I get what you mean about being distracted. I have three books going on at once now but am sooo tempted to start on another.

I'm currently reading Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, Swallows and Amazons (on kindle) and The Game of Kings (reeeally hard to get through the first 100 pages, I heard - and it's proving true).

[Bea]

The Lisa Unger ebook that I am currently reading (Darkness, My Old Friend: A Novel) is very good. I have now marked your book, Kyle, as a TBR as Lisa Unger is a very good writer.

Oh, goody! I have that one marked for the challenge. Fragile was the first book I read by Lisa Unger and I liked it (despite the hokey ending). Both books involve the same characters.

It's banned because of the occult the woman who kidnapped Janie were associated with

[Dee]

I didn't find that mentioned on the ALA website - they said the sexual situations and not listening to adult authority...but the occult would be a reason too I guess

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I didn't think there were sexual situations and not listening to adult authority, which adult authority? This is why I hate the banned list and their reasons because their reasons are so vague and it doesn't always makes sense. I read one of the books of the "Alice" series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor and is a coming of age series about a 12 year old girl. When claiming points for last challenge we had to state the reason it was banned. One of the reasons was homosexuality. Now I read 8 books out of this 22 book series and I couldn't find anything that would reference homosexuality. It is a good series though.

[Dee]

neither did I...I guess her and Reese getting a hotel room but not really and some making out...lol! I'm getting ready to read Shine for a 25 pointer which has been banned for homosexuality since its about a GLBT hate crime - well, duh, of course there will be homosexuality in it...

[Dee]

I got 2 big books in progress - 11/22/63 (for 5.6) and The Bronze Horseman (10.1) and 3 shorter books - Rogue Angel for 15.9; Bear, Otter, and the Kid (15.5) and Fight or Flight (10.8)

[Katrina]

Couldn't decide what to read next so got out the random number generator and generated numbers to match the rows in my spreadsheet, so I'm about to begin for task 30.3. :)

Reading has been slow-going for me the past few days for some reason. Finished A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for 30.5 (Christmas carolling) and am just starting in earnest on Sabriel (5.7) and The Monstrumologist (5.1).

The Game of Kings (30.2) is on hold - it is seriously difficult to plow through. I may have to pick a different author for 'One Author - Two Series'.

I'm currently working on The Night Circus (10.4), Anna Dressed in Blood (15.2), and The Three Musketeers (30.4B).

[MJ]

I'm juggling three at the moment. for 15.3B, for 5.10, and for 25.4. Sula's been a chapter a night read, but I think I might spend some quality time with it soon and see if I can get it finished up in the next day or so.
