I got mine too! It's a great issue, but now I want to buy things. Yikes!

[Beth]

I just started reading Any Human Heart by William Boyd

[Sera]

I've been reading by Amy Tan, which is heart-breaking at times.

LOL! That is always a "problem"!

[Cathy]

Last night I started through my new Bookmarks magazine and tonight I felt in the mood to start one of my Christmas books.... The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements. It seems like a cool book.

[Becky]

I have 2 to start, I want to see which one pulls me in the quickest!

Bel Canto

&

The Story of a Marriage

[Tasha]

I started Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter and am really enjoying it so far!

It's been a few years, but I loved Bel Canto on audio. I keep thinking I need to read something else by Ann Patchett.

[Sera]

I also have Bel Canto. Reviews have been mixed, which is why I might not have been awhile to get to that one yet.

[Cathy]

I started on audio late last night. I am really enjoying it so far. It has that epic grand-storytelling feeling of the recently read , which I also did on audio and loved. They both are lengthy reads.

Very good so far & has been recommended by several people....

[Lisa]

I'm getting ready to start The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott. I also just received notification that my library e-book of The Passage was ready to be downloaded. I may wait the 3 days I have to download it, because I might need the entire 2 weeks to read it.

I'm happy to hear that Becky!

I'm getting ready to start on my Kindle - I'm very excited!

[Patti]

I just started Blind Your PoniesbyStanley G. West

I enjoyed that one. I'll be watching for your comments when you finish.

This book looks & sounds so good

[LynnB]

I've just started two books: Clara and Mr. Tiffany and The Fig Eater.

[Lisa]

Lynn, I hope you enjoy as much as I did. About 3/4 of the way through, I did an internet search of Clara Driscoll, and was able to see the exact Tiffany lamps and designs that were detailed in the book. It really helped me appreciate the book much more.

[Linda]

Started this week, pretty good so far.

Everything I hear about the book has been positive! (Though it makes me angry that she didn't get her acknowledgment for the work she did...). That's a great idea to research her - I'm heading for google to see what I can find.

[Betsy]

Hi Everyone! My reading has been sporadic over the last few weeks. I got an iPhone and I am completely addicted to it. I've got to get back to my books. I still haven't finished Henrietta Lacks. I've started a few on audio and am switching between two at this point:
which is a YA novel by an author I like (and I am loving this book)
which has an awful narrator (really boring to listen to) but is sort of an interesting book.

[Cathy]

Just beginning Mr. Chartwell.

[Betsy]

Cathy wrote: "Just beginning Mr. Chartwell."

Can't wait to hear what you think. I'm intrigued by this one.

[Sera]

I started on audio this morning. I'm into it already!

I'm also starting tonight. I need to read some classics over the next few months.

Hi Betsy,

I know what you mean about the Iphone. I got one today and I feel the draw of the new gadget as I try to leave it alone.

Thanks for the Trouble post. I am a former New England girl and will always be one at heart and have been up Mt. Katahdin many years ago. I will surely appreciate this read. My dad is from a town not far from Katahdin and I am very familiar with this area from numerous family trips to this area as a child and adult.

I've got to get going on Mr. Chartwell and leave the phone alone.

I think you'll find that it's an incredible read. Hard to believe it's her first novel.

There is a Julie Orringer Discussion Group set up on GR. You can join in the discussion:

[Jaime]

I just started Last Child in the Woods

[Nancy]

I'm starting The Invisible Bridge as well. It's on my Kindle which I usually only read on vacation but have decided to take it to work for reading during lunch. I just can't figure out how to balance my reading between library books, my own books, and my kindle books (I tend to heavily favor library books - maybe because of the time limit) Of course, when you think about it, this isn't a bad problem to have.

[Jaime]

I also started The Girl Who Chased the Moon today. This one will be a quick read!

[Becky]

Just started Sing You Home

[Jaime]

Becky wrote: "Just started Sing You Home"

Becky, I usually get really excited about Jodi Picoult's books and pick up a copy on the day it comes out. I didn't get this one because I have been disappointed with her most recent books (even though the topic of this one is particularly interesting to me). I am still on the waiting list at my library for it, though. I am interested to know what you thought of it once you are done.

so far I have breezed through 75 pages & don't want t put it down & it came with a CD!

[Lisa]

I'm getting ready to start

I've been considering that one, too. I'll be interested to see if you like it.

Just Started Red Riding Hood after finishing in 24 hours & giving it 5 shiny stars!!

[Betsy]

Started last night. This is for my March F2F book group. It better be a quick read, I've only got a week.

[Jaime]

So glad to hear Jodi Picoult's latest was good! I have not enjoyed her last three at all!

LOL!!! So true Nancy - so true :)

[Sera]

I started on audio this morning. The reader is the same one as , which is was one of my top 3 favorite books of last year. It appears that the storyline may be similar to that book as well.

I also intend to start and this week.

[Lisa]

Sera, is one of my favorite books. I can't wait to hear what you think! I have on my TBR, but I might have to bump it up to my shortlist seeing as it was one of your favorite books last year.

[Tasha]

I have on my radar to read this year too! Look forward to hearing what you think about it Sera.

[Sera]

Lisa, I'm always nervous about over-hyping a book. MNIM is really different, and it starts off very slow, but without knowing much about The Gargoyle (just the little bit from the blurb that I had read), there may be a huge common thread in regard to the storyline between the two books. I'm really hoping so, because I can't wait to compare the two if that's the case.

[Sera]

Will do, Tasha!

[Linda]

I am listening to which is a second time for me. I read it late last year. This is my book discussion group's choice for March. I loved it the first time and am enjoying it the second time, too. Excellent narrator.

[Nancy]

Sera,
If you're starting to read Outlander, be prepared to tune out the rest of the world for a while because it will suck you in and not let you go! If I was stranded on a desert island, that is the book I would want to have wth me.

I enjoyed Gargoyle,too. Strange plot but defintely worth reading.

Nancy, thanks for the warning. I was hoping that I could read it in chunks while reading other things in-between, but now I'm thinking probably not :)

I've been putting it off for too long now so I'm ready. If it's that good, and I can't discipline myself, "Emma" may have to wait a bit.

A Mountain of Crumbs: A Memoir by Elena Gorokhova ~ 77 pages in and I am finding it very compelling!
