I'm currently reading Bag of Bones. It is my first Stephen King novel and different than I expected.
King always seems to be different than people expect. The same went for me, but I think I was biased because the literary world is biased against him.How's Partials, Dani? I'm a big fan of Writing Excuses, but haven't gotten around to anything Wells has written yet.
Venus Plus X by Sturgeon is half novel, half commentary on the roles gender plays in our society. People who say SF isn't literary have never read Sturgeon, I can say that.

Hey JJ I just read partials and quite enjoyed it.

Bag of Bones is much more of a literary novel than a genre novel. That's what surprised me. Interesting so far.
I will write a review on my blog when I'm finished.
it's been forever since I updated...finished at the end of May-
finished in June-
im currently reading

I also really enjoyed this book Bev. It was like a fairy tale for grown-ups!
I finnished reading The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, which was brilliant. I am now reading her next book - Half Broke horses and I am loving it. Jeanette Walls has a brilliant way of writing non-fiction, that you almost think its fiction. I would really reccomend her books. If you enjoyed The Book Thief, then I would reccomend Marcus Zukas's other book book The Messenger.(in the USA it was published as I am the Messenger)

At the moment I am reading The Weight of Silence and March Violets.
I enjoyed Half Broke Horses even more than The Glass Wall.

Yes it was Sarah
Bev and Beth - I really loved it! I wish I had a bound copy and not just the audiobook. I said as soon as I have some money, I'm buying one.
Well... I've been suckered into reading Fifty Shades of Grey. I really had no intentions of reading it but a friend of mine wanted me to read it with her!! So far, it's ok. Some parts are annoying but I'm not sure what to make of it yet since it's still early in the book. I will surely write a review when I'm done. It'll have to be very good for me to read the other 2 in the trilogy!

Stick with them and read them back to back if you can.
Just finished The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands and am now starting The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass.

Currently reading

I agree. I also liked the movie a lot. I should have read the book first before watching it.
Currently reading
and
- the latter being some of the worst garbage I've read in a long time, if ever. I will finish reading it, but the only real place that book belongs is in the trash can lol ...
I've just started on my own personal mammoth challenge - to read at least 1 fiction and 1 non-fiction book from/about every country in the world. Since I couldn't decide where to start I'm just doing alphabetical.So I'm reading
A Thousand Splendid Suns (for Afghanistan) which I'm really loving so far (10 chapters in). If you haven't read it and have any interest in reading books set outside of the "Western World" I can thoroughly recommend it.
I'm re-reading a fellow indie author's crime thrillerLovesick. I read most of the story on Harper Collins' online slushpile authonomy.com. The story has since been through an edit and made into an ebook. It's a crackingly witty and dark story set in London, always a plus for me. I will put my back into reviewing it. The story is definitely good enough to be on a shelf in your local bookshop and well worth being on your kindle. More anon.
Working on Monster Hunter Vendetta by Larry Correia. Book 2 in the Monster Hunter International Series. It's as much fun as the first one. Definitely not a stand alone though, it relies on the groundwork laid in the first book, but it's good.
Just finished
now reading Catch- 22 for the July group read with this group
