I started The Birth of Venus yesterday. The prologue sure grabs your attention!

[Diana]

I don't get to read as much as I'd love to - my schedule is crazy but DD said I have to read Slaughterhouse-Five so that's what I'm reading right now. Though, I'm already on the hunt for the next one.

We're fortunate that we have a book store that offers credit on books. You trade in what you have and get the price of it in credit. All of their used books are 1/2 price so when you purchase a book, you're only using 1/2 of your credit at a time :) If that makes sense. And, twice a year they have a huge book sale, paper backs are 50cents. DD and I stock up!

Welcome Angela :-) That's a really good series, I've read the first 4 so far.

[janine]

i have just finished a book about a ballet dancer with mental problems (that sounds like black swan, but it's very different, better i'd say) and am now moving on to night watch by sarah waters.

[Janice]

What was the title of the book about the ballet dancer, Janine?

[janine]

Een blad in de wind, i don't think it's translated.

[Sally, la reina]

Oh, Janine. I liked Night Watch. Have you read other Sarah Waters?

[janine]

yes, the little stranger and fingersmith.

[Michele]

I am looking forward to the next Dresden Files book in July and the next Laurell Hamilton's in June.

[Janice]

I've just started the audiobook The Lost Quilter.

[Maria]

have read The Little Stranger which i enjoyed, but have not read any more of her stuff.

[Michele]

so many books, so little time.

[Maya]

I'm currently reading The Lost Symbol By Dan Brown. (I'm new to goodreads, just wanna say hi to everyone )

[Carol]

Welcome to TC, Maryann

[Michele]

Welcome to TC, Maryann! I read that book. I liked it better than some of his others. He goes to the chiropractor my sister works for in Durham, NH. or at least he used to.

[Jim]

Welcome to TC Maryann.

Didn't care for it much, but I'm going to give my copy to my mom, who's been dying to read it. At least it will be worth the hardback purchase price if she enjoys it.

[Sally, la reina]

Finally finished Old Gods Nearly Dead.

Next up: The Help, Freedom, or Huck Finn?

[ms.petra]

I second Barb's emphatic choice!

[Sally, la reina]

I read the first three chapters today. I'm hooked!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Don't hook! You have other options.

[ms.petra]

no, but I will look for it.

[ms.petra]

I just watched it on youtube! It looks good. I really like Emma Stone.

[Phil]

I bought two Murakami books today.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.

Hmmm, which to read first?

[Sally, la reina]

Bird.

[Phil]

K.

[Janice]

Any reference there to "which comes first - the bird or the egg"?

[Sally, la reina]

Clever.

I am reading White Teeth on Sarah Pi's recommendation. Sarah it isn't Sci Fi!

[Michele]

I am ordering a lot of free public domain books on my Kindle from Amazone. Books I remember reading when I was first starting in the adult section. Even then if I found an author I enjoyed, I read everything my library had by them. Ordered a bunch of Sabatini. The Scarlet Pimpernel, Dickens.

[Jim]

Sally wrote: "Bird."

I agree.

[ms.petra]

I thought Hard Boiled was great. Still have to read Bird.

[Janice]

I didn't think you did. I just failed to read the spiel on the book before I picked it up. That's how much I trust your recommendations. I had been looking for a bit of an escape read. White Teeth wasn't quite what I was looking for. I have no idea why I thought it was Sci fi/fantacy.

[janine]

i'm reading the aviary gate by katie hickman. i've been rediscovering historical fiction, any recommendations?

[Angela~twistedmind~]

reading The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnum for a book of the month group read. i didn't realize it was a classic when i signed up for it, but, hey, i love the classics, too.

I have some Daphne du Maurier historical fiction on my TR list. The King's General:

In this sweeping, bittersweet saga, spellbinding author Daphne du Maurier recreates a most memorable and true love story. Honor Harris was glorious and vivacious. Sir Richard Grenville was a dashing colonel and a knight. They meet on the evening of her eighteenth birthday at the Duke of Buckingham's great ball and fall deeply in love.

Soon afterward tragedy strikes and they are separated by betrayal and war. Decades later, an undaunted Sir Richard, now a general serving King Charles I [spoiler edited out]

And Hungry Hill: "The fortunes and fates of five generations of an Anglo-Irish family are bound to their copper mine on Hungry Hill."

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm reading March Violets.
