What are you reading right now?

[Catamorandi]

I am still on The Screwtape Letters. I am also reading Death at Devil's Bridge by Robin Paige. I will start listening to Firefly Lane tomorrow. I listen better than I read. I can comprehend more that way.

[**Carla**]

I started reading the Hunger Games and I am loving it....i don't want to stop reading it..its'a good thing it's my day off and I don't have much else planned..lol

[KSMary]

Hunger Games was hard for me to put down too. I had to read Catching Fire immediately.

[**Carla**]

I think I will be too. I have Dear Joh on the go reight now too but I think it might be put aside for right now because it is good but not as good for me.

I read Night for school too and I really liked the book so when we had our own book report to do after that one with our own book choice I read the next for after that one called Dawn and it was really good too!!!

[Elizabeth☮]

i just started this yesterday and find it totally absorbing.

[**Carla**]

finished Hnger Games and starting Catching Fire. These books are amazing!!

[Andrez]

yeah they r

[KSMary]

I like Steve Berry also. I've also read The Romanov Prophecy and the Third Secret. I still need to read The Amber Room. The Third Secret was better than the Romanov Prophecy.

[Elizabeth☮]

When You Reach Me. i just started this last night. the librarian at school told me it won the newberry award. it's interesting.

[Ronda]

I finished the High Druid of Shannara Trilogy by Terry Brooks last night.

Now I just started Morrigan's Cross by Nora Roberts

"It is Lilith who takes you. It is Lilith who makes you. The power of your blood will mix with mine, and we will rule this world, and all the others."

This will be my second time to read a Nora Roberts trilogy, the first one was the Sign of Seven Trilogy and it was good.

I couldn't put the book down either and actually read it through out the night till I finished it. I read Catching Fire as soon as it came out and I was a little disappointed. Hunger Games got a 5 star but I gave Catching Fire a 3 star because I ended up skipping through pages due to it dragging out too long in some parts. I hope her 3rd book Mockingjay in this series will be better.

I'm reading for our March challenge for green. So, far really good!

[Elizabeth☮]

i read these two in the last couple of days.

reading this now -

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

I am reading

[Catamorandi]

I am reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I am also still reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.

[**Carla**]

I am just about done Dear John finally.

[Jordan]

What do you think of it?

[Jencey/]

I am reading and may start .

[Andrez]

The Other Boleyn Girl is really good, way better than waht i thought

[Jencey/]

I agree with you LeONor.

[Andrez]

;) youve read it?

[Jencey/]

Yes I have read it and seen the movie. I thought the movie gave a great visual for the characters in the book.

[[deleted user]]

I still have not seen the movie:(

[Jencey/]

LeoNor you seem so surprised. :)

[Jencey/]

Elyssa the movie wasn't that great but they do have a special feature that names all the characters and there importance to the book.

[[deleted user]]

The special feature sound neat.

[Karli]

I am reading The Historian - it was odd, when I checked it out at the library, the librarian made a face at it and then said how she couldn't get through it. I'm probably 2/3 through, and I'm enjoying it - really interested to see how it ends. Seemed so odd she'd offer an opinion that way, I'd never met her before.

[[deleted user]]

Just goes to show that everyone has different tastes.

And that librarians don't read every book in their library.

[Karli]

She tried to guide me towards Jodi Piccoult instead. I don't mind opinions, I really like it when people are engaged about the books they are reading, she was just so negative about the book as I was checking it out, I was really put off.

lol a friend of mine saw the movie and she said that though the costumes and everything was good, there was something missing (what she really said was "theres missing thevoom*makes a gesture with hands*")

[Emma]

Currently reading Shutter Island By Dennis Lehane and really enjoying it. I have never read any of Lehane's books before and I am becoming a fan already.

[Catamorandi]

I am about to start Andrea Carter and the Trouble with Treasure (first reads).

[Heather B]

Just finished Gone and wasn't overly impressed with it. I'm disapointed because it was the last in the series and though that it would be better. I'm now reading two books, the first is The Secret Garden wich is for school and I have to have finished and analysed for Monday. The second I'm reading just for me and is Some Girls Bite.

[Elizabeth☮]

very interesting.

[**Carla**]

i am just finishing go Ask Alice. Have about 30 or 40 pages left then I will be starting Pretties by Scott Westerfield.

[Dara]

Wow...that would be aggravating Karli. It is fine for a librarian to offer suggestions of books that she has read that she thinks you might enjoy but to discourage you from reading what you are checking out??? I wouldn't like that either.

[Dara]

I am currently reading The Book Thief...I am about 100 pages in and at first wasn't sure about it. But I am liking it so far!

[Karli]

Thanks, Dara - I thought it was odd. And irritating! :P Planning on finising The Historian tonight - it's not like anything I've read before...Sophie's World probably comes the closest. It's very academic but with three different plots running in different time sequences, punctuated by academic material all around a Dracula theme - I cannot imagine how hard this was to write - and I don't even WANT to think about editing! Interesting, but totally NOT an easy read. (Librarian be damned! There IS an evil librarian in the book, perhaps????)

My friend finished The Book Thief and really enjoyed it, so it's now on my TBR.

[Elizabeth☮]

the historian is an excellent book! i loved it. i saw an interesting story about the author on 20/20. she traveled to romania to research her family's history. fascinating.

[Andrez]

just finished the secret hour, about to start Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

[Andrez]

its cool *shrugs* not one of the best books ive read but not that bad either

[Dara]

Karli, I am liking The Book Thief but it is a bit different too. Let me know when/if you read it and what you think.

[Karli]

I'll put it on my library list for next time and keep my fingers crossed. :) I started The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society today - I've heard from several people how good it is, so I'm excited.

[Karli]

I looked at Perfume and ended up putting it back...let me know what you think!

[**Carla**]

Finished Go Ask Alice today and started Pretties

[Jordan]

My friends continue attempting to persuade me to read that, but I haven't wanted to...is it good?

[Jennifer]

Jordan, the first 4 books of the series are great, but books 5 and 6 start to get overly far fetched and ridiculous. but 1-4 are definitely worth reading.

[**Carla**]

that is so true i feel like i am just reading them because i have to now that I have read all six....and you have to get by thye language some times...bullpoopie..seriuosly it doesn't sound right. But the first four books are good though.

[Chantelle]

Hi everyone, I just found my way here today. I'm currently reading Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China and I love it! :)
