I am reading INTERRED WITH THEIR BONES by Jennifer Lee Carrell

[Beth]

I've just started Stiff.

[Beth A.]

I'm reading His Magesty's Dragon by Namoi Novik and listening to City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau. I am really enjoying them both.

[Beth]

Fiona,

I'm only on page 25 but so far I like it. I like Mary Roach's writing style. I thought it might be dry but it moves along nicely.

[[deleted user]]

I really am bad, but Started Moby Dick, and tonight will read A Christmas Carol to the kids.

[[deleted user]]

I'm not too far into it, it's okay. It's hard cause I really like Interview with the Vampire and Atonement but I'm jsut about done with both of those. You should start Moby with me! I think I'm on page 9 or 10.

[[deleted user]]

Very carefully!

[CLD]

I am Reading The Great Pretender by Millenia Black - so far so good.

[Christina Stind]

Done with my Master's done with the flu.
Now I can relax with a clean conscience.
Celebrating by reading the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. Never read it, all I know about it is what I saw in the trailers for the movie so I'm excited about it. Especially since Pullman uses Danish words (panserbjørne, dæmon)...

[Kellie]

Finished The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel
Not happy with this book. Especially the ending. The book is long and you get really engrossed with the characters and the stuff about the dogs and the story ends not the way I thought it would.
Kind of book I want to throw across the room.

So, I'm going to read The Christmas Train. I've already read it and know how it ends and I'm happy. :)

Congrats Christina! Now you can take a nice relaxing break to read!

[Petra X]

I've just started Klawans Why Michael Couldn't Hit. Sports neurology. Not sure if I'll stay with it. Klawans, who was a neurologist, is one of my favourite writers, but I don't really like anything much to do with sports. I'll try 50 pages.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished Rhinocerous - Colin Forbes.

I am reading 4 books in total:

The Greek Key - Colin Forbes
Lucky - Alice Sebold
When the Bough Breaks - Jonathan Kellerman
In Their Footsteps - Tess Gerritsen

[Christina Stind]

Thanks Emilee!
Kellie, sorry to hear that you didn't like Edgar Sawtelle - I am planning on reading it soon ...

[Mary]

I just finished In Our Strange Gardens by Michel Quint and Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I'm now reading:
Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah

[Anna]

Hello everyone - I'm new here. Just finished two books which I would love to share with you...

Gods Own Country by Ross Raisin - first person narrative about a teenager from Yorkshire that lives in a farm at the top of the hill and watches as the town below grows higher and closer to him. He is mocking of the townfolk and their ignorance of country ways but he then falls for the daughter of some newcomers. Increasingly disturbing yet remaining hilarious at the same time - wonderful.

Also - If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor which alternates from third person to first person. Its about the effect of a tragic event on a street and how the residents react to it. Its a beautifully written poetic book and staggering for a debut novel

[Fiona (Titch)]

Anna, I met Jon McGregor a couple of months ago. A nice man as well.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished When the Bough Breaks - Jonathan Kellerman. Will now read In Their Footsteps - Tess Gerritsen.

[Anna]

Cool - at a reading or a workshop or something? And what country is he from? I have no idea. Beautiful book though I havent checked if he has written anything else since.

[Fiona (Titch)]

If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things (2002)
So Many Ways to Begin (2006)

I met him in October/November for a workshop kind of thing. Listened to him read and he has a soothing voice lol.

[Ashley]

I am reading:
Stay With Me- Garret Freymann-Weyr
Just Listen-Sarah Dessen

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished In Their Footsteps - Tess Gerritsen. Now gonna read Stardust - Neil Gaiman.

[Petra X]

I'm reading 'Under the Banner of Heaven' and being suitably fascinated, shocked and sceptical.

[Kathy]

I started The Divide by Nicolas Evans on CD in my car today, as I had a two hour trip to pick up my husband at the airport. So, I liked what I heard, so I'm switching to the print version tonight.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Still trying to read Stardust - Neil Gaiman.

[O2]

Imago Hominis, Studies in the Language of Art. I just got it as a present. Also I am finishing up Jodi Picoult's My Sister's keeper.

[[deleted user]]

Old2New: finished it last night. It's a sobber!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Old2New: I read My Sister's Keeper and I love all Jodi Picoult books.

Emilee: What did you read and finish hun?

[[deleted user]]

My Sister's Keeper! Great book. Almost done with Atonement!

My kids gave me four books for Christmas so I really have to get reading so I can start them!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I got 2 copies of So Many Ways to Begin - Jon McGregor from my Secret Santas on 2 sites I belong to.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finally finished Stardust - Neil Gaiman. Will now read Text Game - Kate Cann

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished Text Game - Kate Cann and will now read THE MAN IN THE PICTURE - SUSAN HILL

[Beth A.]

Fiona,

How was Stardust? I enjoyed the movie.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I liked the movie better Beth. I read the film version of Stardust and it was drivel as far as the film was concerned. Hardly any of it was the same as the film imo.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished The Man in the Picture - Susan Hill. Will now read Arctic Hero - Catherine Johnson.

[Julia]

I am reading Don Quixote but having a terrible time trying to get through it.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished Arctic Hero - Catherine Johnson. Will now read Star Sullivan - Maeve Binchy.

[Petra X]

Just finishing a computer manual on how to fix what is either a motherboard or video card problem. Does that count as reading?

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Star Sullivan - Maeve Binchy.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Decided to read Married Lovers - Jackie Collins

[Kathy]

Fiona, stay with The Divide. I just finished it and really liked it. I'm reading a little mystery cozy now, On What Grounds. It combines two loves of mine, mystery and coffee. I'm also trying to read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian, but I may just have to wait and finish one, then read the other.

[Beth A.]

I'm reading "Home" by Marilynne Robinson. I loved Gilead, so hopefully this will be as good.

[Petra X]

I just finished Service Included http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49... and Under the Banner of Heaven http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... and I'm really getting into Flower Confidential, about the business of growing and selling flowers. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62081.

[Petra X]

I'd like to read the True Story of Hansel and Gretel

[Reggia]

Julia, what translation of Don Quixote are you reading? Even though I enjoyed the story & the translation was great, the first 1/3 of the book was very hard for me to stick with...maybe I was just distracted. Anyway, I'm glad I kept returning to it.

* * *

I have several books half-finished right now but the one that has most of my attention is the short book Clash of Civilizations Over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio by Amara Lakhous.

[Helen]

I am reading Dark Summer by Iris Johansen; usually find her books to be page turners, but the last few were too predictable, so I took a break. I am enjoying this one so far; the main characters are animals lovers, specifically beautiful dogs, which I always enjoy reading about and dreaming about; maybe when I retire, I will have time to get a gorgeous lab, like in this book.

[Lisa Julianna]

I just started What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw! (Agatha Christie book) This is my first Agatha Christie book I have ever read. So far I am liking it. :~)

[Kathy]

I bought The True Story of Hansel and Gretel today, and I plan on reading it this month. I'm currently finishing up On What Grounds.

[Petra X]

I'm reading the Flower Connection. About the business of growing flowers commercially. Fascinating book.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Married Lovers - Jackie Collins @ 12.45am. Will read the following 3 books: Dissolution - C.J. Sansom, Skin & Bone - Kathyrn Fox & The Family Bones - Kimberley Raiser.
