Started today. Only about 25 pages in, but okay so far.

I've finished reading by Sophie Kinsella yesterday. The first half of the book was quite good but I got a bit bored with it during the second half. The book was well-written and it had a lot of extremely funny scenes in it. However, the plot was very predictable. I made a guess when I was at 5% of the way in about how this book would end and I figured it out exactly! The author is not very good at adding "twists and turns" into her plots, which is the main reason I haven't picked up a book by this author for ten years. I thought the author would have learned something in all that time but apparently not!

[Connie]

I'm reading The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich, a lyrical book about Native Americans in North Dakota.

[Bea]

oh my goodness! The question should be "what are you not reading?" for me! I think I have the most books going that I have ever had going. Partly because I have not been in the mood...I needed a small book...I picked up what was handy.

The Deeds of the Disturber
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - ebook
The Postmistress - audiobook
To Play with Fire: One Woman's Remarkable Odyssey
Morality Play
The Time Traveler's Wife
A Journal of the Plague Year - barely started

[Night]

Just finished and will continue with this series.

Too bad I have book #1, #2 and then #4.
Have to go digging my e-book library in case I had it. (fingers crossed)

I've finished by Christopher Moore earlier today. The plot was quite thin but there were tons of funny scenes that made me giggle and snicker (it wasn't funny enough to make me laugh out loud). However I got bored with this book pretty quickly. The humour was just so repetitive that it started to get on my nerves after a while and the jokes just stopped being funny. I didn't like the second half of the book as it just got too far-fetched and stupid. I really struggled to finish it.

[Liora]

Now I am reading and

[Aoibhínn]

I finished by Diane Chamberlain yesterday morning. The Good Father is a gripping, touching and thought-provoking read. The three main characters are Travis, Robin and Erin and each of the chapters in the novel is narrated by one of these characters. Some of the chapters do jump from the present to the past but I thought the story was still easy to follow. Some parts of the story were very unrealistic and far-fetched and the ending of the novel was a bit of a letdown as I thought it was very predictable. It really seemed like the author had rushed out an ending just to make a deadline. I gave this one 3 stars.

Now I'm about to start by Sanjay Gupta. I heard this novel is going to be turned into a TV series similar to ER. It sounded like a TV show I'm be interested in watching so I decided to read the book.

[Michael]

I finished Lone Wolf, it started off great but fail to be consistent.

I am about to begin

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I finished "The Nine Lives of Christmas" and started "The Raven Boys"

[Sheila]

I'm reading Buried Secrets by Joseph Finder . This is the first time I have read a book by this author but it won't be the last. It is kind of a spy/Russian mafia/ story. Very exciting and fast moving.

[BJ Rose]

I read The Bride Wore Pearls for a romance book for Task 30.7, and am now reading Samurai Game for Task 20.8

[Connie]

I just finished The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns by Margaret Dilloway.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished by Sanjay Gupta yesterday morning. I really enjoyed this novel. It is actually very similar to ER. At times during reading this book, I did feel like I was reading an ER script just with different characters! The plot was interesting, gripping, well-developed and well-written. The medical lingo was easy to understand.The characters were interesting, vivid and well-developed. My only gripe about this novel was that I would have liked to learn more about what happened to the characters at the end of the novel.

[Donna Jo]

What Would Jane Austen Do? by Laurie Brown
Oh, and for something completely different The Origins of Feasts, Fasts and Seasons in Early Christianity by Paul F. Bradshaw

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading by Liane Moriarty. I really loved this novel! The plot was very intriguing, compelling and well-written with an interesting and unique premise. I loved the author's writing style. The story was very funny and some parts were quite touching and made me want to cry. The characters were all well-developed, vivid and believable. I found it easy to relate to Alice and the other characters. I was unable to put this book down for long. I was desperate to find out what was going to happen next! I gave it 5 stars!

I really enjoyed that book. Enough that I bought a copy for one of my daughters for Christmas.

As I Wake

[Aoibhínn]

Yesterday I finished reading by Kate Alcott. I really enjoyed this novel. It was very hard to put it down. I loved all the historical details about the Titanic and its survivors. I liked this unique take on the Titanic disaster. Not many books about the Titanic sinking feature the aftermath of it and how survivors try to deal with what happened and move on. I gave it 4 stars!

I'm also about to finish by Janet Evanovich and make a start on by William Peter Blatty.

Just started .

[Aoibhínn]

I just finished reading by William Peter Blatty. The Exorcist is an engrossing, gripping, disturbing and well-written supernatural tale. I really enjoyed this novel. I thought the author's writing style was excellent. I found it very hard to put this book down for long. I just had to know what happened next even though I've seen the movie half a dozen times! It didn't frighten me to death but it did scare me a good bit! Even though the book is over forty years old, except for a bit of seventies slang here and there, it really isn't dated at all. The Exorcist is one of the best horror novels that I've read in a long time. Even if you've already seen the movie a hundred times I'd recommend reading the novel as it's a lot better than the movie!
