Rosabelle Purnama I just finished Edge of Evil (Ali Reynolds, #1) by J.A. Jance by J.A. Jance. I quite enjoyed it, finished it in less than 24 hours, couldn't put it down. It was a quick read for me. I'm currently reading The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2) by Kelley Armstrong by Kelley Armstrong, the second book in the Darkest Power trilogy

That is why I decided against the book, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get into it either..smiles.

Lisa S (kasey_k_fan) Debi, I've actually gotten into it now. It's sad and disturbing, but I think now I'm getting to the upside part of it.

Deborah (thebookishdame) | 26 comments I'm well into it, myself, and I love it. It's highly unusual and, yes, distressing in parts, but so realistic and such a good read/listen. The narrator of this audio version is excellent. It did start off quite confusing, but the author had to bring us into the boy and his mother's contrived, strange world that was necessary because of their captivity. After you get that angle, it's got your attention!

I enjoyed reading the first part of it, the one where she's in Italy, but in India, i got totally bored. The movie was not good as well..

Deborah (thebookishdame) | 26 comments Cammie, Suffice it to say that I gave the book away on paperbackswap. I speed-read it, and wasn't impressed.

Deborah (thebookishdame) | 26 comments I'm reading, "Look Again," by Lisa Scottoline right now and I love it! Fast-moving story of a mom who sees her adopted, 3 year old son's picture on one of those milk-carton ads for a "missing child." It's well written and a great book to get lost in for the weekend. Look Again by Lisa Scottoline

I know what you mean, Nick. "The Road" has been on my mental "I really should read that" list for quite some time, but everytime I read the synopsis on the back, I cringe.


message 176: by Kristi (new)

Kristi (kristicasey) Okay, I've had to set aside "The Children's Book" bc I have some December group reads I need to do. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is due at the library on Wednesday, so I need to get cracking. It sounds interesting enough, I just hadn't started it yet, bc I was trying to deal with TBC.

Oh, and still listening to The Postman Always Rings Twice.

message 179: by Kristi (last edited Dec 09, 2010 03:49AM) (new)

Kristi (kristicasey) Finished The Postman Always Rings Twice and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.

I need to read the next 5 chapters of I Capture the Castle, then I'm starting Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and I'll be listening to either The Pillars of the Earth or Northanger Abbey.

I had pillars from the library, but I'm finding I have too many "reading" books, and no audio. Which was bad this week as I was working a lot. I drive a lot for work, so having audio books is great!

Hmmm, it might have been. But I don't recall it. Then again, my memory is for crap anymore! Ha ha!!!
