"I burned through those. They are oddly addicting. What do you think of the main character?
I found it an interesting take on a young female heroine... She's strong-- central to the maintenance of her family. Still has all the 'angst' and uncertainty of youth-- but that inner core keeps her capable of discernment. Pretty amazing.
finished good omens - wow what a laugh that wasthen read and finished the handmaids tale by margaret atwood - read for book club - very interesting but wouldnt read again
finally finished adventures of shrlock holmes for book club - very amusing
now tossing up between the red queen - philippa gregory, the ragged trouser philanthopists - robert tressell, perfume - patrick suskind
i cant decide which?

Thanks Stacey! Will read that asap. I am a fan of her work now. Indeed it's a charming story. I shed gallons of tears in this book. :)

@Liz,
Good Luck! I don't think I could easily decide between those three. They all sound good to me.

I'm currently reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. It's really an amazing book. Heartbreaking, sad AND funny.

I finally finished The Road to Grace by Richard Paul Evans and thought it was an ok read. Not as good as the first three books in this series.I think I'm giving up on The Next Always by Nora FRoberts. Have read 50 pages and I'm not that eager to read on. So I now get to choose two reads-one in book form and one for my I PAD. Fun ahead choosing what to read.
9 books at once...can't remember them all. I just read bits from them until I get into a flow and finish one. It's the fastest way I have of reading books quickly.

Yeah, Oskar is a really well-developed character, although the plot sometimes got a bit confusing- when he switched the narrator. Still, brilliantly written!
Finished Private Games and enjoyed this book surprisingly. I am going to begin listening to Letter from a Stranger by Barbara Taylor Bradford and reading True Sisters by Sandra Dallas.

I just read the synopsis of Name of the Wind and, no, it doesn't sound like Daughter of Smoke & Bone is the same type of story - other than that they are both fantasy. But, uh, WOW, now I want to read your book too! LOL!

I also highly recommend her book of short stories called Lips Touch Three Times. Three short stories about first kisses!
I am actually reading a slim volume of York Revision Notes on AS YOU LIKE IT ... as a teen in my household has an English exam in a few weeks. I've read the play but am enjoying the YNs as they do give a few insights. The sad thing is I will now have to discuss the thing in a meaningful way the said teen. Ach, middle class guilt and English exams! I do love Touchstone though, what a wag. Shakespear wld howl with laughter at the thought of all the tortured brows labouring over his throw away lines. I wonder if he played, 'William, A Country Fellow'. I reckon he must have done. I wonder what Shakespear wld make of the novel?

I'm reading Pandora by Anne Rice. Just started. Enjoying it and it also provides history I need for a couple for my own projects. I was reading Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden by Cathrynne Valente. I like her writing but I keep picking this one up and the putting it down. It doesn't hold me, but I like having it. Its very long but so was Dr Strange and Mr Norrell and I couldn't put that down.
I'm reading Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. How have I not read anything by her before?! I love this book so far and I'm having a very hard time putting it down!

. I am a huge fan of Dennis Lehane. His movie adaptations are great."I would suggest reading the Pat and Angie series (you are currently reading the first one) in order since it makes a difference to the relatonship of these two people. And I would agree that Lehane is a good author for his genre except for This Given Day. A bit too long winded for me.
I read The Great Gatsby years ago when I was a kid. I am re-reading it now and it is blowing me away, more than I remember it doing so when I first read it. I dunno if I am wiser now or what. But I am loving it. I wld not have re-read it had I not been on goodreads. So I have yet another reason to be thankful for being here and influenced by the book chatter all around. For which, THANK YOU *bows*

I read this series up to Gone, Baby, Gone. I'm just rereading the series because I enjoyed it a lot.

I am enjoying it actually! It was a group read from one of my mystery groups on here, so not exactly something I would probably choose on my own .. but it is definitely keeping my interest!
Currently reading The Handmaid's Tale which I like so far, though it is strange. I just finished A Clockwork Angel which was pretty good.

I'm about to start reading
I am currently listening to Once We Were Brothers and listening to Letters from a Stranger. Letters is ok but Once We Were Brothers is excellent.
Currently reading Pride and Prejudice. I´ve tried to read this book for ages, but I always stop at the beggining. This time, I´m going to finish it.
