Glad you found an interesting book, Christine!

I just started Autumn Bridge, a very interesting work of historical fiction.

[Darkpool]

Just started The Fourth Bear audiobook. I love Jasper fforde's wacky sense of humour. It'll be interesting to see how well his highly language based wit translates to the audio format. So far so good.

[Kristi]

I haven't decided which book I'm starting on yet. I have 2, but I just finished a book last night, and not sure which I want to jump into next.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

I'm readidng People of the Book and it's very good.

I loved that book.

I have that one still to read, but I think I pre-ordered it way back when. (I guess I had to have it immediately so that it could sit on my shelf, haha)

I love Jasper Fforde. I even got to meet him once - he signed my copy of The Big Over Easy.

Finished off The Wake by Neil Gaiman which was okay but not enough to make me read the rest of the series so I abandoned The Sandman: Endless Nights. Also read through Chosen by P.C. Cast, which I really enjoyed. Still making my slower way through a few others: The Tale of Applebeck Orchard; True to the Trefoil; Ooty Preserved: Victorian Hill Station in India and Set in Stone which is seriously sexy. I've also started on The Will of the Empress. I love Tamora Pierce!

I loved The Big Over Easy and keep meaning to get to The Fourth Bear. Let me know how you like it, Darkpool.

[Kathy]

Lee, I too loved People of the Book. I'm still stuck in the M.C. Beaton series featuring Agatha Raisin. One rather leads right into the next, and I can't seem to stop wanting to go on with them. At first I wasn't crazy about her, but she has really grown on me.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Kathy, I know what you mean about those series books! I'm in the middle of a few but I force myself to mix it up so I don't get sick of them. I'm quite hooked on the Nevada Barr books.

[Kathy]

OK, Lee, I'm not even going to look at the Nevada Barr books. I've glanced their way in the bookstore, but I am determined not to find another series I like right now. I'm desperately trying to take a break from the ones I'm reading now. Of course, Mockingjay comes out tomorrow, so I know I will be able to break for it.

[Mary]

I finished The Art of Devotion which was very good - four stars. I am now reading Bright Lights, Big Ass (sorry but I can't get that link to work). It is my first Jen Lancaster book and so far it's very funny.

[Silencio]

I'm reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath but so far it seems like it's a depressing book...

It is depressing but I love it, and when I was 19 it was sort of a comfort read, even though I got writer's block from reading it. Eek!!!

I started Try to Remember last night.

[Kathy]

I like the cover.

[[deleted user]]

The actual cover is really cool because you can see these newspaper adds in the background (which are part of the story, of course).

I've just added this one to my TBR list.

[Lisa]

Mockingjay!!! I started at about 10 (got the book from the store a few minutes after 9) and I'm on page 100 = 1/4 of the book. I left a LOT of time today and tomorrow to read so that I can finish it. Then, I'll go back and finish The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements, and get to more books in my current piles.

[[deleted user]]

Happy reading Lisa! :)

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Lisa, you are a lucky girl!

[Lisa]

Thanks, Jeannette. Lee, Yes, lucky, lucky me!

[[deleted user]]

You guys enjoy Mockingjay! :) Will eventually read that trilogy. Book peeps on twitter are going nuts about it atm.

Recently read through The Will of the Empress which I absolutely adored. I want more Pierce! Also read: Jake's Tower; Shopaholic and Sister and Shopaholic and Baby.

Currently reading Stray which I'm really enjoying. I've already read some others in the same series. Also reading The Ladies' Loos: From Plumbing to Plucking, a Practical Guide for Girls, which was written by a bunch of women from an online community I belong to. It's very readable because it's all in brief bits.

Still making my slower way through a few others: The Tale of Applebeck Orchard; True to the Trefoil; Ooty Preserved: A Victorian Hill Station in India and Set in Stone.

Have fun, Jo! A new book in a series is always exciting!

[[deleted user]]

You always wish there will be one more. Is this the last book? I haven't read these yet, but they are on my tbr list.

[[deleted user]]

Everyone raves about them! I have people recommend them to me all the time. You should get back to reading! Or, are you at work right now? ;)

[[deleted user]]

naughty, naughty! Have fun! :)

[Kathy]

I'm reading Three Bags Full, a little palate cleanser after my historical fiction.

Ooh, I listened to that on audiobook a year or so back. Really enjoyed it.

[[deleted user]]

Chrissie recommended it under a different thread. I bet it was fun to listen to. :)

[Lisa]

I finished Mockingjay. Yay! Had it for about 27 hours. Had to take breaks at times; it was so intense.

Delaying finishing reading The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements and reading How to Buy a Love of Reading and a bunch of group reads becuase I have a library book likely not renewable, due in 6 days, so I'm going to start it later today: Winter's Mischief

Did you take the whole day off to read the book, Lisa? It must really be a good story!

[Kathy]

Don't be falling out of any trees, Kathy! :P"

LOL! I think I do need to consult Christine as to what measures to take.

[Lisa]

Jeannette, I read Mockingjay much of yesterday and finished it this morning, yes. I did take breaks. If I'd read without interruption, I could have read the whole book yesterday. And, I'm a very slow reader.

[[deleted user]]

Finished Stray. Loved it :)

[Aizel]

I need to do that, too! :)

[Lisa]

I'm thinking I'll see both movies and then reread 1-7 all at once after the movies. I love the movies (though I wasn't that fond of 6; they left out too, too much) but I adore the books.

Oh, ejoy yourself!!! It is sweet and funny and so good! A great diversion.

Darkpool, LOOK, the reply works now! :0)

[Darkpool]

Yay Chrissie!!!

[Chrissie]

I finished Anya: A Novel, wrote the review and now I get to startA Blessing on the Moon. Happy me!

You know the Jewish word shetl.... I cannot spell it! Can somebody help me?

[Maude]

Chrissie, the spelling you have is correct.

[Lisa]

Jo, It is intense!!! I liked the story though (meaning the trilogy()

Chrissie, I'll check your Anya review. I love that book so much.

[Chrissie]

Thanks Maude, I looked it up in Wikidictionary and it wasn't there!

Lisa I will join you over there..... I have to ask you about the ending.

[Joey]

im currently reading "FIERCE LEADERSHIP" its all about the stuff/projects/sucking bold alternative to the worst "best" practices of business today!!!

[Lisa]

Jo, I think that Suzanne Collins did an excellent job keeping characters true to themselves and being realistic about events' effects on people.

[Lisa]

Chrissie, Over where?
