Guardian Angel. I got this for pennies at a sidewalk sale, not having read Paretsky before, but she's such a Chicago author that it was time. The Chicago references are fun.

[Helena]

Just finished Suttree and I’ll be (re) starting Pavilion of Women. I put it down for something else a few months ago and forgot to pick it back up until now.

[Alias Reader]

I'm currently reading, A Reckoning: A Novel~May Sarton.

I've read Sarton's non-fiction journals, but this is the first fiction of hers that I've read. The writing is quite good and the book gives the reader much to think about.

[Jammies]

'tis the season: Hogfather.

[Angela~twistedmind~]

Due to sleep inducing narcotics I got very chapters of Prior Bad Acts byTami Hoag read last night.

[Janice]

I just started The Sisters Brothers. I'm really enjoying it. Yipee-yi-ow, cow patty!

[Sally, la reina]

I am loving Three Junes. Have I mentioned that here yet?

[Félix]

Yes. I loved it, too. Have I mentioned that?

[Sally, la reina]

No, I don't think so! When did you read it? Have I asked that yet?

[Félix]

I read it a few years ago. And no, you haven't.

[~Geektastic~]

I'm currently reading Flirting with Pride and Prejudice: Fresh Perspectives on the Original Chick-Lit Masterpiece. I'm finding it to be an odd combination of interesting and insulting.

[Angela~twistedmind~]

I'm on the first few pages of The Bodies Left Behind by Jeffery Deaver.

[Cynthia]

My favorite bit from "Three Junes:" (page 103) "Before I ever did it, I thought the notion of spreading ashes on water highly romantic, the best and most mannerly way to get past the horror of funerals. Having partaken in this ritual twice now, I dread and despise it. Inevitably...you have to wash him from your hair and down the drain of your tub as if he were soot from a campfire, dust from an attic, diesel exhaust from an ill-mufflered bus."

[~Geektastic~]

Reading PG Wodehouse short stories. I have found a new favorite writer to add to my list (thanks to Jonathan for the heads up about how much fun he is).

[Jim]

I just got around to Wodehouse this year also. He really is a fun read.

[~Geektastic~]

Makes me wish I had a Jeeves of my own, to solve all my problems and bring me tea.

[Cynthia]

I could really use one of those Jeeves myself. A nice Tea, sir, then the laundry.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I am reading Freaks - Tess Gerritsen on my Kindle (just got for christmas) x

[Fiona (Titch)]

I am going back to reading Time Bomb - Jonathan Kellerman on my Kindle.

[Sally, la reina]

I am reading 1Q84. About 100 pages in.

Barb wrote: "I'll be starting on Little Women, as the first book in my A-Z challenge."

I love Little Women. There are a few cloyingly sentimental bits, but overall one of my favorites.

[Janice]

I'm listening to The Blood of Flowers, about 2 hours in. I'll be starting The Oracle of Stamboul today.

[Jammies]

Barb, when you're done with Little Women, I would suggest March by Geraldine Brooks. I'm reading it right now and enjoying it.

[Cynthia]

Yes! "March" is lovely.

[Jammies]

Any time, my leetle minion. :)

[Sally, la reina]

I added it to my list too, Jammerson.

I like Hardy a lot, but that book is so depressing (but then again, most of his books are). Sorry you didn't like it, I hope your next chosen classic is better.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Ebony Tower, which is sucking, and Shadows on the Rock.

[Janice]

I finished The Oracle of Stamboul and have started Baking Cakes in Kigali.

[Phil]

Why not bake cakes at home? Seems odd to go all the way to Kigali just to bake.

I'm reading The Snowman.

[Janice]

What's the fun of baking at home, when you can discover new culinary delights elsewhere?

I have The Snowman on audiobook and am looking forward to it. How is it so far, Phil?

[Phil]

Interesting. I like the serial killer concept that has been introduced. A couple of times the writing has seemed disjointed, most noticeably regarding a couple of descriptions of people in the story.

[~Geektastic~]

The copy of Just My Type: A Book about Fonts I had on hold at the library just came in! I'm surprisingly excited to read a book about fonts.

[Cynthia]

OH! I thought Amber was excited to read about FARTS. Never mind.

[~Geektastic~]

"Fabulous Flatulence: A Book About Farts" could be equally intriguing, though perhaps not one I would read proudly in public.

Fonts are pretty cool.

So cool.

Would you read Fart Proudly proudly in public?

[~Geektastic~]

With Ben on the cover, probably. With just the title, probably not. But I have a Kindle, so problem solved!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have finally finished Time Bomb - Jonathan Kellerman and am about to start Cat Calls - Cynthia Leitich Smith

[Fiona (Titch)]

I finished Cat Calls - Cynthia Leitich Smith and now I am going back to Sister - Rosamund Lupton

[janine]

I see now why you need so many books.

LOL, that previous book was a short story book lol x

[Cheri]

Among the Wonderful: A Novel

Barb wrote: "The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag"

I like Alan Bradley and this series.

[Mary]

I love her too.
What a cool spunky kid!

[Janice]

I'm about to embark on a trip to the Antarctic, Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Cambridge Introduction to the Novel.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm having a hard time getting into Shadows on the Rock. I'm not ready to give up on it, but I want to see other books on the side.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I finished Shadows on the Rock and re-read The Metamorphosis. Making my way through the critical essays.
