[Dyah]

Currently reading Making Money. So far, it's fun enough, although not as interesting as Going Postal.

[Anny]

Almost finished my The Lacuna and half-way through with Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness. Kingsolver never disappoints me, and those interested in medical/mystery would enjoy Cahalan's autobiography.

[Femmy]

I'm currently enjoying Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe by Simon Singh. This guy really knows how to write science in a way that's accessible and entertaining to laypeople.

[Patricia]

Currently reading Such a Rush.
So far the story is good :)

[Oon]

Enjoying The Goldfinch right now. The book is huge I don't know when will I finish this.

[Stefanie Y]

I'm reading Making Faces and wow I can't put the book down

[Anny]

@Oon: The Goldfinch! Is it as good as they say or just another plodding bore?

[Firda]

If it has to be an english book, then it is Tolstoy's War and Peace. I hope I will carry on with it :")

[Oon]

As far as I read, I never found it to be boring, but it's a kind of a slow burn so you have to be patient.

[Lynossa, Resident Connoisseur]

I'm done reading How to Betray a Dragon's Hero and waiting for the last book of this series. Hopefully next year *fingers cross*
Now I'm confused whether I should read Her Fearful Symmetry or The Cuckoo's Calling.
Any advise?

[Dyah]

I just finished The Summer of the Ubume. It's a very fascinating and unusual read. The pace is a little bit slow, though.

[Yozora]

I'm still reading Sentinel The Covenant Series by Jennifer Armentrout.. a must read if u into YA Romance Fantasy.. ;)

[Anny]

Reading Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. Who knew that delivery could be very suspenseful!

[Bittersweetisme]

i am currently reading apollyon by jennifer armentrout. it's going great!!!

[Dini]

I just finished reading Night Film by Marisha Pessl. It creeped me out so much but I couldn't put it down! It kind of suits dark, gloomy, rainy days like these.

[Femmy]

I'm reading A Thousand Splendid Suns for this month's club selection!

[Jokoloyo]

I am reading Unholy Night. Christmas is near. :D

[Yozora]

Reading The Girl in The Steel Corset 'Steampunk Chronicles' kind of like The Infernal Devices, a little bit though.. :3

[Ren Puspita]

I'm finish reading . I had book hangover because of it, and end up re-read the book. Not sure what to read next :). Maybe I'll read Ilona Andrews or J.D.Robb's book

[Abiyasha]

I've just finished re-reading Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf and going to read The Hours by Michael Cunningham then would like to re-watch The Hours. Going to be Mrs. Dalloway week! :)

I'm counting on you to recomend me good books, Oon! But not to bizarre yah :p

One of my fave books for this year. I love Marisha Pessl :) She never fails to amaze me :)

[Anny]

Reading Matthew Flinders' Cat by Bryce Courtenay. A book about an alcoholic and a street kid, and also a book about the adventure of Trim the cat, Master Sailor of Matthew Flinders' ship.

[Reza, The Curator]

I finished with with Defending Jacob and Storm Front, both to which I gave 3 stars.

Now I have convinced myself to tackleThe Way of Kings, my first big book (over 1000 pages) I've read in a while. Wish me luck!

[Silvana]

Currently reading Shadows Linger by Glen Cook.

Ulfa wrote: "*abandoned Game of Thrones*"

Why? :(

[Gabriella]

I'm currently re-reading The Book Thief, as the movie adaptation is going to be released next year. :)

[Cininta]

I just finished Defending Jacob. I'm thinking about starting the book thief or son by lois lowry, haven't decide yet

[Jokoloyo]

Just finished Unholy Night, now I am reading The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms.

[Ameru]

Right now, I read light book (YA novel). My latest novel that I read is Flat out love. I already finished The Summer I become Nerd and it's hilarious and sweet. I love sweet thing. Sometimes I want to read heavy book with heavy genre, but my mind refuse to agree. Kind of sad :|

Good luck! But I assure you, it will worth every page of it.

Jokoloyo wrote: "Just finished Unholy Night, now I am reading The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms."

I haven't read it, but I've read The Killing Moon and I love it!

I've just finished Edding's Elenium trilogy, and now I'm into The Way of Shadows. Hopefully it'll be an amazing story!

[Anny]

Started reading The Opium War by Julia Lovell. A non-fiction book about China's Opium War. Looks promising so far!

Also for my second read, The Story Of Danny Dunn another book by Bryce Courtenay. A look at the effect of war and those caught in it, set in Balmain, Sydney.

[Gretta]

Currently reading Cabinet of Curiosities: My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions. The story behind del Toro's works, with scans of the actual notebook! Lots of creepiness.

[Lizzy]

I am reading HP and the philosopher's stone :D

[Stefanie Y]

I'm re-reading Mediator Series by Meg Cabot. If u into YA with some ghost-busting stuff check it out. I just like how the main female-protagonist (Sussannah Simon) thought.

[Cininta]

I'm currently reading the book thief, sometimes i glance at the princess bride

[Anny]

Reading The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at All Costs. Off to a good start!

[Jokoloyo]

Oni, my GR friend, wrote similar thing. It seems The Killing Moon is very good.

[Namida]

I give up reading a game of thrones. After i watched the series, i lose interest. And now i'm reading Animal Farm-George Orwell.

[Anny]

@Namida: I gave up after the fourth book. It had potential but I simply couldn't sustain my interest. Animal Farm's good. Short, succinct and to-the-point.

[Lynossa, Resident Connoisseur]

One book away from finishing my GR Challenge and I pick The Cuckoo's Calling. The story is pretty interesting, more old style detective than new style, so I keep reading it. Though for the benefit of my reading challenge I should've picked thinner book.

[Ds]

@Lynossa : Could you please write a review on that? I am intrigued but not that interested in reading anything Rowling wrote after HP. She is a bit over-hyped imho. Good luck with the reading challenge. One more day~ ^^

[Lynossa, Resident Connoisseur]

I will. So far it's pretty interesting, a bit slow perhaps for those who like fast-paced crime stories. I like the old style better (like Christie's for example).
It kinda helps not to think this as Rowling's actually, although I notice her writing style here and there, especially in describing environment and characters.

[Ireisha]

Just finished Kafka on The Shore from Haruki Murakami. To quote one of my friends, it is indeed confusing, but it is a really page-turner. I'm currently reading More Than This from Patrick Ness.

[Silvana]

@Namida : that's odd. What parts that you didn't like?

[Jokoloyo]

@Namida choose your words wisely when explaining ASOIAF series to Silvana. Silvana is a passionate fan of ASOIAF.

[Lynossa, Resident Connoisseur]

Done with The Cuckoo's Calling and now I'm moving on to Smoke and Mirrors. I don't know which one published first, this book or Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders or M is for Magic, but I found stories I read in those two books.
As soon as I'm done with this book I'm thinking about reading The Stockholm Octavo or The Goldfinch

[Anny]

Start reading Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. It's a fairly short book, so I expect to finish it quickly.

[Silvana]

Shush! :))

[Namida]

@Silvana n Jokoloyo: bwahahaha...oh nooo...do i upset you, Silvana? I am really sorry, from the deep of my heart. :)) I do not hate ASOIAF series, i just prefer watching its HBO series than reading it. Perhaps later, i will read the books.. :))
