What book did you just start?
Just started
I won this in a book giveaway and am really enjoying it so far.
I've also sort of started :)
by Vladimir Nabokov and a very long non-fiction,
by Simon Sebag Montefiore. Reading Tana French's new book has made me put these aside for a day or so, but I'll get back to them....

I've got a couple new ones started:
on audio. I got this through a free offer from Ford on Goodreads. Anyone else get this one too?
which is for my book group. It's set in the city wher i work in New Hampshire, so all the local references are fun.
Started
last night. Looking for a quick read while waiting for the other book I'm in the middle of to become available again from the downloadable library.
Started
on audio. This has gotten a fair amount of buzz, but isn't ranked all that highly here on GR.
Betsy, I read that recently and enjoyed it a lot. It was like a surprise to me because I didn't have very high expectations. I had added it to my to-read list at some point and then saw it was available through the library, so grabbed it.
Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I am currently reading

I need a light read after a few more literary books and 2 that were 800-1100 pages! Jasper Fforde is always such fun to read.

I've started
for my f2f book club.I'm still working at

I'm "reading" on audio. Love her writing. Maybe we should have this as one of our group reads. I know I'm going to want to talk about it with someone.

There is some trouble on the horizon :). Hoping to really get into this book this weekend! Happy Reading
