What are you reading at the moment?
About to finish 22 Britannia Road. Very good so far and unique. I'm hoping for big, emotional finish.

It was disappointing. I loved the first two though.
Redeeming Love, Three to Get Deadly and I'm picking up Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter from the library today. I'm so excited about that one. I hear great things.
"I actually think I should stop getting out library books, because I also keep buying my own books, which are sitting on my shelf unread because I need to read the library books first and take them back."I do that too! I'm always trying to finish library books quick, and so the ones I own sit there, collecting dust. I've actually made myself take turns...one library, one owned. I don't always behave though :)

The Immortal Rules which is a surprise, considering that I am not much of a fan of dystopianand
The Bronze Horseman
I'm reading Steelflower. It's interesting. I like that it's in first person- I seem to like the characters more that way.

I hate to tell you this but WFE is a drag too! Although maybe you will like it, but I was totally disappointed. I did finish The Hunger Games, but didn't enjoy it.

Oh...The Bronze Horseman is a book I own...I started it once and was really enjoying it, but I put it down for some reason.
I'm about to start Thinner by Stephen King.

I've seen it too. Yes, very creepy. So far, the book's good too.
Holly wrote: "I've seen it too. Yes, very creepy. So far, the book's good too."I might have to read it then.
You should; I don't think you'll be disappointed. Stephen king is awesome! If you like horror, once you read one of his books, you're hooked. (personal opinion)
I read 11/22/63 and loved it, turned me into a King fan

OMG I loved Water for Elephants! It made me cry so much. I agree with you about Mockingjay since it didn't have as much action as the previous two until the last few chapters.

I hear great things."Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter does seem very interesting to read. I plan on reading that before the movie comes out. lol.

Resident Aliens: Life in Christian Colony

The Sea of Monsters
Masquerade"
I have never read
Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think about Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment
The Lucky One
and the movies come out tomorrow so I decided to put The Sea Monsters and Masquerade down for a bit since I didn't get to far into the books and I like reading the books before I watch the corresponding movie.
half way through A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth
Finished
it was a wonderful book. Still trying to decide which book to read next out of the books I have started.

Loved Water for Elephants!

LOVED Act Like a Lady!!! It was a really good book so I imagine the movie will be just as good!! I, too, like to read the books before watching the movie!!

I'm reading "By The Pricking of My Thumbs" by Agatha Christie. I will soon finish this and start to read a new book :)

Hmmm, I never tried to read Paranormal books before, but I would like to give myself a try :)
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, and Girl Interrupted.I also just finished Dead until Dark, which I loved!
I'm new here, so I thought I'd start posting here to let everyone know about the books I read. This past week I finished Embassytown and Yellow Star. I enjoyed both. Yellow Star was kind of chilling, not only because of subject matter, but because it was told from the viewpoint of a very small child and in broken sentences that added tension and confusion.
I'm now reading Bel-Ami and listening to the audio of The Cat's Table during my commutes to work.
The book i am reading at the moment is the hunger games.It is a great book I have already read this book
I just started reading Above the clouds by Jonathan Bach

OH NO!!!
Oh well. Would like to read it before the movie anyway.

NOT something that I would normally read, but different. Even the blurbs about what it's about didn't grab me at all, but the first 2 books were enjoyable.
Just got the email saying that the library book I was waiting for is ready! So I'm about to start reading Takeover by Lisa Black, in addition to Connelly's The Black Echo. I've not read anything by her nor have I heard anything about her series. I'm just giving it a try because it looks interesting!!
Above the Clouds: A Reunion of Father and Son by: Jonathan Bach.I don't think I can see myself finishing it. It's talking bad about my favorite author, although it is true I still can't grasp finishing the book.
i have just started reading inheritance Christopher Paolini

A Christmas Carolis amazing!
Right now I'm reading "The Hobbit" by J.R.R Tolkien. I'm planning on reading The Lord of the Rings Trilogy soon. I've never seen the movies (well, I watched part of the first one, but I hardly remember it now) so I'm looking forward to experiencing the whole thing for the first time.

They're some of my favourite ever books. I love how Tolkien creates such a massive and realistic world with so many fantasy elements at the same time.
I've ended up starting Fire, something light for a change! But I had to balance it out with some Murakami, so I'm also reading Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
