Elvia (elvb) Peeps - annoyed a little by the science facts every other chapter. Really hoping there is a reason behind it because as of now, I don't see the point.

Lisa | 617 comments 1984 and still rereading East of Eden.

message 330: by stormhawk (new)

stormhawk | 1184 comments Blazing on through ...

While the Savage Sleeps - Andrew E. Kaufman
Goodreads author that I "met" on another group. Thriller with paranormal elements, not a romance.

Ashes - Scott Nicholson
Another Goodreads author who friended me. Straight-up horror short stories.

Mirror Image - Dennis Palumbo
Mystery that I got in electronic galley from netgalley.com

Deathbird Stories - Harlan Ellison
reread of an old favorite. Very intense short stories about forgotten and new Gods.


message 331: by Carolyn F. (new)

Jackie (thenightowl) I finished The MacLean Groom: Highland Lairds Trilogy and This Matter Of Marriage as kick off to Smut-tember Fest, which I'm hosting on my blog: http://thecraftyreader.blogspot.com/2... . Anyone who is into romance (all kinds of romance from clean to paranormal) or into erotica is more than welcome to join in the fun.

Now I'm reading Garden Spells.

Priscilla | 17 comments I am reading Witch by Barbara Michaels . I have wanted to read this for such a long time... Glad to say I am really enjoying the book so far, I am finding it a page turner and I am over half way through, started a day ago, thats fast for me! Hope it continues to be good...


message 341: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (shadowrose) I finished Crocodile on the Sandbank late last night so this morning I decided to start on Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward.


message 342: by stormhawk (new)

stormhawk | 1184 comments Big Machine - Victor LaValle (firstreads win)

The House of the Seven Gables - Nathaniel Hawthorne
(was on vacation in Salem, drove past the house on the way out of town, didn't take the tour, had no idea how boring the book is. You'd think a book that inspires a tour of an old house would be more interesting.)

Boneshaker - Cherie Priest
SciFi and Fantasy book club read

LOL.
The House of the Seven Gables remains to this day the most painful book reading experience of my life. The only reason I actually made it through was because I am too stubborn to abandon a book after I have started it.

Jackie M | 452 comments I am finally reading The Hunger Games and really liking it so far.


message 346: by Elvia (new)

Elvia (elvb) Finishing up Howling at the Moon... Not sure what's next. Probably Bonds of Justice.


message 347: by stormhawk (new)

stormhawk | 1184 comments As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto - Due for publication in December, 2010.

This is a collection of the correspondence between Julia Child and Avis DeVoto. If you saw (or read) Julie & Julia, you know about these letters. There are a number of pictures, mostly taken by Paul Child. I'm reading it as an electronic galley.

Kristina | 778 comments I'm about halfway through Her Fearful Symmetry and really enjoying it.

Did you like The Time Traveler's Wife as well? I was curious about Her Fearful Symmetry, but didn't care for 'The Time Traveler's Wife' at all. Just wanted to see if her writing style was similar in both.


message 350: by Elvia (new)

Elvia (elvb) I just finished Immortalis Carpe Noctem (a goodreads giveaway win!) and enjoyed it. A good fluff read.
I'll be starting Bonds of Justice tomorrow.
