"Did you read the first in the Flavia de Luce series, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie? I don't know if it matters what order you read them in, but Red Herring is #3 I think.
I am listening to Home: A Memoir of My Early Years and eye-reading Lost in Shangri-la for my book club. My next will be Angina Monologues, The.
I have pressed pause on all of the other books I was reading in favor of Insurgent.. I'm already halfway through and I don't want to put it away but at the same time I don't want to finish it because I can't stand even the thought of waiting for the third book to come out.
I've finished Fire and am now reading both Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World and also Dead to the World
I closed Two Lives unfinished but hope to go back to it someday.This morning I will begin The Shoemaker's Daughter by Adriani Trigiani.
I just finished Shatter Me (loved it!!), Fever (okay, I liked Wither better), and Cinder (really good).I am now reading Clockwork Angel (liking it so far) and plan on reading Delirium next!
I just finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King, and now I'm starting The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.
I've got 3 books going now:Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard
The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
Twelve Times Blessed by Jacquelyn Mitchard
Just finished The Gate House by Nelson DeMille, the sequel to The Gold Coast. If you enjoyed The Gold Coast, The Gate House is a very disappointing book. Continuing to read Unorthodox and The Shoemaker's Wife and will be listening to Drop Shot by Harlan Coben.
I just finished the 2nd book in the Harry Bosch series, The Black Ice, which was GREAT! I'm going to start on the 2nd book in Lisa Black's Theresa MacLean series, Evidence of Murder, tonight. Can't wait!
At the moment I am reading1) Harry Potter the Prequel by J.K Rowling
2) Shadowland by Meg Cabot
3) Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
4) The Lying Game by Sara Shepard
5) Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare
6) The dead of night by Peter Lerangis

I just finished reading The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman and it was by far the best book I've read so far this year, in fact it's one of the best books I've read in the last 10 years!! Wow, just WOW!!!!

Nancy, I am really enjoying this book. I am so surprised by all the negative reviews on it. Yes, it is a deeply intense book, however the storytelling is amazing and I find myself immersed in it.

The man spins an amazing story web, and his characters are very real and sympathetic. I can't wait for his next one!

I agree!! I only have maybe 20 pages left and I am completley blown away by the protagonist's transformation -- Lamb is an amazing writer.
Nancy wrote: "Why did you feel it was such a good book Stacey?"I'm not even sure where to begin explaining all the things I loved about this novel....the writing is extraordinary, I found myself deliberately slowing down so I could savor each sentence, it had such a lovely, lyrical flow, but without coming off pretentious. These women were multi-layered, complex individuals, fully fleshed out, each devoted, independent, survivors, and each powerful in her own right. Weave all of that with Hoffman's signature touch of magic and make the backdrop of it all, the meticulously researched ancient Israel, and you are totally transported! No kidding, it's one of the best stories, and some of the finest writing I've ever read!
