I finished my Kathy Reichs book and got to say I was a bit gutted.

Started Broadmoor Revealed: Victorian Crime and the Lunatic Asylum and so far quite interesting but may read another fiction book at the same time to prevent overload of History along with studying xD

Hi - I am a new member to the group. I am currently reading The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande. I am @ 36% and so far it is very interesting.

Hey Sonya, I read The Stand, it was my first Stephen King book - long but I really enjoyed the way King talked about how everyone had to overcome the challenges of living in a world where they had to recreate society and laws, not to mention managing all the death around them, their future, etc. To be honest, the end was not to my liking but as I've found reading other King's novels, the journey is the best part.

I'm currently reading a series of three novella's from DV Berkom (actually "listening" via text to speech feature - i love this feature!). . These are fast action pack pop-corn stories.

I truly hated that book. It wasn't badly written. I just hated it.

[Dick]

I'm reading Chris Orcutt's new PI novel. It is titled A Real Piece of Work and is the first in his Dakota Stevens Mystery series. Very entertaining so far.

Hated it? I can't say I feel that strongly about it. It hasn't really caught my attention much yet. It just rambles...but then again I'm not usually into romance books either.

I've read Andrew E. Kaufman's The Lion, The Lamb, The Hunted (actually several times because I helped with the book behind the scenes) and I will say it truly is an awesome book. You'll enjoy it, Melissa!

I'm taking a short reading break because I'm not so sure I can top that one at the moment.

I felt like gouging my eyes out with a spoon but felt the need to finish it because it was a goodreads summer read. I got about 3 chapters from the end.

The thing I hated the most was that the end was the start....

Just finished up Spin State yesterday, and working on Ready Player One now.

Interesting. I'm not gouging my eyes out yet, but having a hard time getting myself to read it.

[Betsy]

America Aflame, a history of U.S. civil war. Good, but long.

Earth: An Intimate History, for a GR group read.

And in hardback, The Tribe of Tiger about cats. Started this once several years ago but never finished it. Don't know why as it's quite good.

Well mainly because I like a book that has a start, middle and end and this book had an end, start then middle.

Odd, out of order, boring story line, hated characters. I just don't get why it is loved so much. Yes, it is wrote extremely well but it's such a hard book to get into cause it is so, boring.

Betsy, I like how you usually have multiple books at the same time. I get too interested in one and don't want to take time away from reading it.

[Betsy]

I do that sometimes, especially if it`s fiction, but with nonfiction, i frequently need to take a break. Or I`ll be interrupted by something more urgent, like a GR group read.

Yvette, I read those in succession as well. I had resisted reading them because of the genre but thoroughly enjoyed them. Enjoy.

Charlene wrote: "What are GR group reads? "

Goodreads group reads. Books selected to be read by a Goodreads group usually during a specified time.

I didn't think I would enjoy them...I had been putting off reading them as well. Glad I decided to give them a try. :D

I understood that you meant Goodreads Group Reads. I just don't know how to find them. What groups have group reads? Are they genre specific? Author? I don't belong to many groups.

Out of everyone she was the most likeable character, and the end just felt like a... well not an ending.

It really depends on the group. This one doesn't have group reads; it wouldn't really make sense. But many genre specific groups do. I belong to a Science and Inquiry group which has group reads every month. I also belong to a Fans of Maps group which just started group reads. It depends on what you're interested in. I suggest you go to the main groups page (click on Groups on the top menu bar) and either search for a topic you're interested in or just browse until you find something that clicks for you. If they have group reads, the currently-reading books should show on the home page for the group.

I've been reading "The White Tiger" this weekend. It's been a quick, readable book. It is just very DIFFERENT!

I am sure I love it more. I have to watch an adaptation of this and a wonderful life or it is not christmas.

I haven't watched "It's a Wonderful Life" yet, but I did catch the 1951 version of "A Christmas Carol" Monday night. That's been a staple in our family since I was a little girl, and the Ghost of Christmas Future still freaks me out! lol

[Karen M]

I'm almost finished reading The Paris Wife and slowly going through In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin. Both are from my local library via digital download.

Tonight I'm starting The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. This was picked for me by a gal in one of other groups I joined this year. Hoping to finish it before the end of this month.

[Diamond (kindle lover)]

I started yesterday

[Dorie]

Tonight I'm looking forward to reading my first book on my new Kindle. I'll be starting The Incendiary's Trail by James McCreet. I've been looking forward to reading this series for a long time. Historical mysteries are my favorite sub-genre right now.

[Jex]

Just finished and loved it!

[Ginger]

I'm currently reading Ghosts of a Beach Town in Winter by Kathleen Valentine. Enjoying it so far!

[Karen M]

I in the middle of Friendship Bread and about to start Blood Ties.

My first Kindle book for the new year is The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town by John Grisham. It's my first book club book for this year. So far it's quite interesting.
