I am reading The Nemesis List by R.J. Frith - for sci fi group, not sure I am actually liking it though.

I'm like number 180 on the digital library list for
Explosive Eighteen, must have patience.

My husband nicked before I'd finished it! He said I was taking too long with other books! Grrrrrrrrrrr!
I've just started Imposture. I'm not sure about it at the moment. I think the author might be imitating an old fashioned writing style and I can't decide if it's going to be irritating or not.

I'm reading a free download Death Is the Cool Night which is quite good. The book's atmosphere is dark and brooding and is an interesting insight into the backstage world of opera.
My main read at the moment is Hannah's Gift by Thomas Eidson. Really enjoying it! Finished Soulless this morning - loved it! Quite delicious!!
Okay so I have three current reads going on (never can get it down to just one book). But I wanted to tell y'all about a really great one I picked up just yesterday. As I stormed out of the house yesterday in a rage I realized that I had forgotten my books in my room - but having just made a scene I couldn't storm back in just to get a book - no matter how badly I wanted to read it. So instead I head over to Barnes N' Noble and searched for the book - I just so happened to remember the exact page I was on. To no avail I began scanning shelves, mainly just walking around until one of the big overstuffed chairs was free so I could stake my claim. While passing the romance section - usually a section I steer clear of - a book caught my eye. It was called Married With Zombies by Jesse Petersen. So I picked it up and looked at the page count, which I believe was only 230 pages, and one of those small romance novels. So I grabbed it and walked into the Starbucks connected to the bookstore; and though my tush hurt an awful lot I read over half of the book. LOVED IT. I'm not one for romance novels, but I am a huge gore fan. And though it only had some gore - all good zombie books need gore - it wasn't as much as I prefer. But it was an amazing book that had me flipping the page. I couldn't buy it (though only ten bucks, I only had 2 dollars worth of dimes and nickels in the car), but plan on going to the library to finish it today before heading up to Jeff City.
im currently reading fifty shades darker by EL James and just started crack down by val McDermid. i am going to satrt another book in a few minutes but the choice will depend on my mood. :) what are other people reading at the moment?
Not done much in the way of reading today, lots on! I wanted to finish Whispers Under Ground, I'm page 327 of 419, but I don't think I'll get to it tonight :(

"Hi Kyle--I see that you have read "Worst Case"--I read everything by James Patterson but somehow I missed this one so am now on the list at my library for it--I see that you liked it so now I am anxious to read it!!
I'm reading The Stolen Crown: The Secret Marriage that Forever Changed the Fate of England with one of my book clubs. I read almost anything but I've always been interested in Henry VIII and the Tudors so I figured I might as well go back a bit and learn about the ones who came before him.
Finished The Small Hand this morning and have added another library book to my currently reading list. It's Duchess of Bloomsbury Street by Helene Hanff - a follow-up to 84, Charing Cross Road; recently finished that and loved it!
currently reading the sworn by gail z. martin and fifty shades darker by EL james. both are great reads. i just finished crack down by val mcdermid it was an ok read i guess didnt really enjoyed it. :)
im currently reading the sworn by gail z martin and forbidden by jana oliver. both so far a great reads in my opinion. :)
I just read The Honk and Holler Opening Soon and loved it. Great story about a quirky bunch of people in a small town -- a much used scenerio I know, but by the end of this book I knew these people so well I really hated to see it end.
Hi,I'm trying to read The End of Eternity. It seems like a nice concept but I didn't get used tot he author's style yet.
Reading a very light Seven Exes Are Eight Too Many, think Survivor reality show and a mystery, Surface Tension, which is rather good.
I have 7 books on the go. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Wind Through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel, The Waste Lands, Divergent, Land of Marvels, Seraphina and Fifty Shades of Grey.Two are on audio, one is on my kindle and the others are dead tree books including a library book.
Have been away for a few days - not much reading done, but am nearly half way through
, which I'm liking quite a lot.

I just finished My Life As a White Trash Zombie which was a group read and enjoyed it so much I've went on to the next oneEven White Trash Zombies Get the Blues
these are definitely NOT your typical zombie books

Yes, Eric, I am enjoying it a lot. If you can spare the time, I think it's something that one could get through quickly.

Lost my keys for half an hour yesterday and found them in my pocket! I'm ok on ideas, but my memory is appalling these days

End of August - can't wait!
Totally engrossed in Shadow of Night, all other books tossed to the wayside. I'm going to be so crushed at the end of it, waiting for the last of the trilogy!

I tried reading Fifty Shades too and I could only drag myself thru half of it before I could take no more. So you aren't alone.
Currently I'm about 1/3 of the way thru
which is really good.
