I started Monster Hunter International over the holiday. I haven't gotten very far but I'm really enjoying it.

Veronica, "Gone Baby Gone" is one of Lehane's very, very best - He had a semi-series for a while, a man and a woman formed a detective agency, and this is one of their first cases. Lehane is a genius with characters, IMO!
I just read my first Lehane book a little while back. He is an excellent writer and I can't wait to read more of his books.

I've just started reading The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. It's free on iTunes for today only so I though I'd give it a go. It's a monster of a book though so will probably take me a while!

As for Needful Things, I'm not currently reading it, but I've been meaning to re-read it for awhile now, so it's on my list of books to read in 2013!

For some reason, it just sounded good to read right now. :)
"The Dead Zone" is usually considered one of King's very best books - he portrays the the "tension" that would be undergone by anyone with even a touch of telepathy-imagine what it must e like - all the radio frequencies in the world, coming at you at once!
When I looked at the ratings after I put it as the book I'm currently reading, I noticed a lot of my friends have rated it really high. I was a little surprised because it's not talked about a lot. Usually I hear more about "Carrie", "Pet Sematary", "IT", "The Shining", and "The Stand." And of course The Dark Tower series. I've never read The Dead Zone, so I'm definitely looking forward to getting more into it later today. :)

You are so very welcome!:)
I've finished reading
by Liane Moriarty. I really loved this novel! The plot was very intriguing, compelling and well-written with an interesting and unique premise. I loved the author's writing style. The story was very funny and some parts were quite touching and made me want to cry. The characters were all well-developed, vivid and believable. I found it easy to relate to Alice and the other characters. I was unable to put this book down for long. I was desperate to find out what was going to happen next! I gave it 5 stars!

Now I'm about to start
by Kate Alcott.
Finished 11/22/63 (King). Then read HOUR GAME (Baldacci). Just started CAMEL CLUB, also by Baldacci.

The Ghosts Of Sleath"Nice! Just about to start The Dark. Christmas helped me to complete my Herbert collection
Won an $10 amazon card so I used it to put a couple things on my new Kindle I got for Christmas. I got Throttle
, which I'm about to read. Also got UR and Mile 81, will get to them soon too probably.

Finished it, loved it. It was quick and mean, and drew me right in. Now I'm catching up on the newspaper while the Kindle charges oh so slowly, then I'm gonna move on to one of the other ones, UR or Mile 81. I've got $2 left on my card, so I'm debating whether to get A Face in the Crowd
or Thumbprint: A Story
with it.

Read both Mile 81 and UR today, highly enjoyed both of them, but especially the (view spoiler), that was fun. I ended up using the remains of my gift card to get A Face in the Crowd, so I'm going to read that one next.

I know right! But ive had full dark no stars and thinner for months and still have yet to read them so I want to read those two before I get into my new ones.
Oh man, you are going to love FDNS, I'm sure!! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. I really liked Thinner a lot, too.
I'm looking forward to it. But World War Z is amazing so far! The interview type format of the story is very interesting.
Yesterday I finished reading
by Kate Alcott. I really enjoyed this novel. It was very hard to put it down. I loved all the historical details about the Titanic and its survivors. I liked this unique take on the Titanic disaster. Not many books about the Titanic sinking feature the aftermath of it and how survivors try to deal with what happened and move on. I gave it 4 stars! My full review is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I'm also about to finish
by Janet Evanovich and make a start on
by William Peter Blatty.
