What book did you just start? Showing 751-800 of 3,501

[Sera]

I started on audio. It's read by Judith Light (remember her?) and she is doing a nice job, which so far, is also making the story more enjoyable.

I hope to start this weekend.

[Stephanie]

I have been hearing a lot of mixed things about both of these books, yet I am interested in reading both of them and am on hold to get the second one on my nook through the library.

[LynnB]

I'm reading an ARC, Reign of Madness by Lynn Cullen, who wrote The Creation of Eve. I'm really enjoying it. It's historical fiction about Queen Juana of Spain. It comes out this summer.

[Becky]

started The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove: A Novel , delightful so far

[Betsy]

Last night started

[Nancy]

Betsy,
I loved this book but I've been waiting for someone else to read it because the ending is open for interpretation and I like to hear another reader's take on it.

[Tasha]

Betsy, that one sounds interesting!

[LynnB]

I really liked it - gave it 4 stars. I was sad and angry about the ending, but I also thought it rang true for what might have happened in that society (I'm being vague here so as not to give away the ending).

[Becky]

Started The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

I think I read that so many people here liked it that I added it to my TBR list. I'll keep you posted. Maybe we'll have to have a separate thread so we don't spoil it for others.

[Patti]

Just started by Elizabeth Berg

[Linda]

I've started Master Manipulator. It's a true story that I had forgotten about that took place in my hometown (Toledo) in the 1980s. It's probably where Bernie Madoff learned the tricks of his trade. It will be a quick read.

[Nancy]

Linda,
My hometown is also Toledo. Small world!

[Nancy]

I just started This is book two in The Langani Trilogy (The first book is I don't think this series is well known here in the U.S. A friend of mine went home to South Africa for a visit and brought it back with her. It was originally printed in Britain.
The story (book 1) starts in Kenya in 1957, shortly before Kenya's independence from Britain, and follows the lives of three women from very different backgrounds who first meet and become best friends while in boarding school. I loved Blood Sisters and am looking forward to seeing where the women's lives have taken them in the second book. Kenya, itself, is almost another character, as well, and the country and it's wildlife really come alive.

This looks like a great series. I am going to put it on my to read list. Thanks Nancy.

[Sera]

I'm getting ready to start and .

[Nancy]

I'm finally reading Pride and Prejudice to which my daughter would most surely say, Finally!!. She's been after me to read her favorite book for a long time now.
One reason that I'm reading it now is that in three weeks I will be going on a Jane Austen walking tour in England for a week. We will be staying the the manor house that was Austen's inspiration for Mansfield Park and visiting her home in Chawton as well as visiting her grave in Winchester Cathedral. I'm so excited I could just about burst!

[Sera]

Wow, Nancy! That's fabulous - congratulations.

[Patti]

That's so cool Nancy. My daughter is going to do the same tour in England. I just finished Pride and Prejudice this year also. Took me forever, but I liked it alot.

[Lisa]

Nancy, it sounds like you have a wonderful trip ahead of you!

[LynnB]

I'm starting .

@Nancy - I am envious! Your trip sounds like so much fun!

[Cathy]

To Nancy.....Your upcoming trip sounds wonderful. I must say I am a bit envious. Hope you have a great time and come back with lots of great memories to cherish.

I have started my June book club read.... . I had mixed feelings about whether I was going to enjoy it and I am glad that I am.

[Linda]

I just started Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road by Rush's Neil Peart.

He already has my attention. Good writer.

[Sera]

I started yesterday on audio. It picks up right where left off.

I'm also starting this week.

[Cathy]

I started last night and I began on audio this evening. It's looking like a big non-fiction week for me. Of course, as many of you can relate to, I have a huge backlog of piled up books to choose from if either one of these don't appeal to me.

[Becky]

I am starting A Visit from the Goon Squad

[LynnB]

I just pulled out to start reading.

[Sera]

LynnB wrote: "I just pulled out to start reading."


Nice, Lynn. I am eager to start this series but don't know where to fit it in :) I hope that you enjoy it.

[Vanessa]

Oooh, I really liked Case Histories. I heard the other books weren't quite as good.

I heard an interview with the author and I thought it was a little odd when the interviewer asked if she had a crush on her main character, Jackson Brodie like Dorothy Sayers reputedly did on Peter Whimsey. Then I read the book and now I have a crush on Jackson Brodie.

[LynnB]

Vanessa wrote: "Oooh, I really liked Case Histories. I heard the other books weren't quite as good. "

I'm hoping this is a good series, but we'll see!

[Sera]

I ordered it yesterday and have decided to try and to tackle it this summer.

[Vanessa]

LynnB wrote:I'm hoping this is a good series, but we'll see!

I'll definitely read at least one more book in the series. I'm just going by one review I read of (I think) the 3rd book. I've had series that I liked even though further books weren't as good as the first one or two.

[Stephanie]

Started and last night, but I am further along in TPW.

[Sera]

Stephanie wrote: "Started and last night, but I am further along in TPW."

I'm still wait-listed for TPW at the library and you've chosen another one, the Pickard book, that I have been eager to read. I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback on both of these.

[Lisa]

I just finished and really liked it. It's a perfect summer book. I also finished , which was a nice cozy mystery.

I'm working on , a group read for the Seasonal Reading Challenge group. I'm also reading one of the group reads for my F2F B&N Nook group. I also have downloaded from the library to my Nook the newest Sookie book. I can't wait to start it.

[Cathy]

Cathy bookcover:Still Missing] was my favorite books last year. I listened to it audio and it was very intense. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

[Nancy]

I'm starting the third book in the Langani Trilogy, In Borrowed Light. I love being able to follow characters over a long period of time. By the third book, I'm beginning to think of the characters as real people. The trilogy which started in 1957, is now up to 1977.

I read this in just about one sitting. It is hard to put down.

[Stephanie]

I am LOVING - Bookmarks gave it 4 stars, I think (with about 60 pages left) that I will give it 5. This is a fantastic summer book.

[Sera]

I know! It is a powerful piece of work. I'm so pleased to hear that you were gripped by this read like I was. I can't wait to read , which is coming out in July.

[Sera]

Yay! More good feedback from another book that I am very eager to read.

[LynnB]

I'm starting a new non-fiction, , about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. For a fiction-read, I'm reading .

[Becky]

started Fireworks over Toccoa

[Cathy]

I am starting tonight on my Kindle and plan to continue to read it on the beach in Cape May tomorrow.

[Linda]

Listening to Diary of a Fairy Godmother . It won't last long and I'm glad. The narrator is too saccharin for me.

[Lisa]

I'm reading and almost finished with . It is the second book in the "Parasol Protectorate" series. I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying this steampunk novel. The dialogue is witty and Alexia, the soulless protagonist, is spunky and original.

I was surprised when I read the first one-very witty!!!

[Sera]

I started on audio. I'm on the 3rd disc and it's very good so far.

[Lisa]

@Becky

I just finished and liked it even more that . And, what a cliffhanger at the end. I can't wait to finish the series.
