That's exactly..."

My book group read this a couple years ago. I was the only person in the group that didn't love it.

[Becky]

started

[Victoria]

I finally started - trying to catch up with the rest of my family who have read all 3. It's almost as engaging as the first one to me. Actually, now that I've gotten to a particular event (sorry, no spoilers here) - I'd probably say it's just as engaging. I think Suzanne Collins is a very good story teller.

[Betsy]

Funny that Victoria just started Catching Fire - I just started as a quickie in between book group books. I'm hoping to finish before the movie comes out so I can decide if I want to see it.

I have a small issue already - the name of the DA. I had a childhood friend with the same spelling, but pronounced very differently.

All life's problems should be this complex!

[Victoria]

Well now I started - I had to see what would happen next (and yes I finished Catching Fire).

[Mary]

I just started THE 19TH WIFE by David Ebershoff. It was good from the beginning.

[Laurie]

Just starting The Sojourn, Andrew Krivak -- group read, right? I was able to get it online via our library loan so that I can read it on adobe digital editions of Kindle for pc :)

[Sera]

I just started on audio this morning.

[Victoria]

I have started , mainly because at some point I had added it to my "to read" list - wasn't there a Bookmarks article about the Swedish crime authors - and it was available as an ebook through my library. I have only read about 3 pages so far! Still reading Mockingjay at the same time though and finished in the meantime when it was available from my library hold list (not as good as the show, by the way).

[LynnB]

I'm currently reading , and .

[Nancy]

I part way through State of Wonder by Anne Patchett.
The author decided to identify the main character's lover as Mr. Fox. Did anyone else who read the book find that odd?

[Kate]

A Gate at the Stairs

Just finished Hunger Games; want to read Catching Fire but thought I'd better polish something off that has been lingering on the shelf for a while. Great writing style, so far . . .

I must have closed right over it. Love the writer, loved the book though. What are your thoughts on MR. Fox?

So far I don't really like Mr. Fox and I really wish Marina would get some backbone but I am enjoying the book. Narrator is excellent.

[Sera]

is going great so far. Started on audio yesterday. I really Quindlan's works.

[Betsy]

I started on audio yesterday. A white journalist'a account of experimentally living as a black man in 1959 New Orleans and Mississippi. Fascinating so far.

[LynnB]

I'm reading and still working on

[Sera]

I started this week. It's my first Gaskell, and I am really enjoying it. I've been discovering so many wonderful classical works over the past couple of years by authors whom I will reading more and more of.

[Nancy]

I'm just starting The Leopard by Nesbo. I know this is a stay up reading til 2 AM kinda book and I can't wait!

I'm starting .

[Betsy]

After a few heavy books, time for something light for my commute: I started listening to . It's very short and fluffy, but fun so far. It's read by Betty White; you just have to love her spunk!

[Betsy]

Started on audio this morning

[Linda]

[Sera]

I started today.

[Lisa]

I'm also reading . I started last week, but due to a dental procedure, an ensuing infection, lots of pain, and a foggy head from meds, I had to put it down. I was too miserable to read. Nothing worse than being stuck in the house for a week and not feeling good enough to read. Anyway, I'm ready to curl up with it tonight. It's a page turner!

I'm also reading . I don't have much time left before it disappears off my Nook - it's a library loaner.

I'm listening to . I downloaded it to my Ipod so I'd have something to keep my mind occupied during my 2 -3 hour dental work. The problem was I couldn't always hear it over the equipment and I was in no position to adjust the volume. I also tried listening during my recovery, but often fell asleep, woke up, fell asleep, woke up......I have no idea how much I missed. I re-listened to portions of it, and am almost finished.

April 1st. I just started Tynford House by Natasha Solomons. I really like historical fiction, and this one has kept my interest. Now I'm ready for a good mystery.

[Becky]

going to start

[Betsy]

Started T.C. Boyle's today on audio.

[LynnB]

Currently I'm reading and and ...still... (I read a few chapters a week).

[Karen]

I just started

[Cathy]

I came across an interesting historical fiction read (WWII) with a musical-theme called presently free on my Kindle. I then downloaded for $2.99. Both look like good "musical" reads. I have started the latter one and it reads quickly and is quite interesting.

[Mary]

I just started reading EXPECTING ADAM by Martha Beck. A friend loaned it to me and she loved it.

[LynnB]

I'm starting and .

Do you find that e-books get cheaper when the paperback comes out? I have my eye on 11/23/63 and Defending Jacob but they seem a little pricey at $13 and $15.

Oftentimes they come down to $9.99. The problem is that if a hardcover is selling, it could take a long time for them to come out in paperback (the Larsson trilogy and Unbroken both come to mind).

I ended up buying 11/22/63 at 65% off in hardback (40% off + 15% off coupon) and borrowing Defending Jacob from the library. Some books I just have to get :)

[Sera]

I'm going to start tonight. It's due back to the library on Wednesday and I can't renew it anymore - glad that it's short :)

[Sera]

I started The Winter of Our Discontent last night. It's pretty good so far.

[Ginni]

I started The Memory of Love by Animatta Forna a few days ago. It takes place in Sierra Leone. There are a few stories going on from different points in time. But somehow they all connect. I am enjoying it. Great writing.

[Cathy]

I started on audio.

[Sera]

I started today on audio. It's very interesting so far.

[Patricia]

I am reading Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry. It was recommended in Bookmarks Magazine by a reader. I like it so far. However, the book is mostly narration - very little dialogue - and at times the writing feels like it needs a lift. I will finish it though

[Cathy]

I started on a friend's recommendation. I am enjoying the setting and unfolding story.

[Linda]

[Sera]

I just started and . Both are very good so far.

[Victoria]

Hi all - I have not been posting much lately - haven't been reading either! I have just started - not very far in, but seems pretty intriguing if you like spy stuff.
