Kathy wrote: "The Hand That First Held Mine by Maggie O'Farrell"

I finished this and loved it. Not quite as good as The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, but I galloped through it in 2 days and didn't want it to end! She is such a good writer, and her characters are real people.

[Fiona (Titch)]

[Donna]

Just started Black Cherry Blues: A Dave Robicheaux Novel by James Lee Burke. The descriptions of the Gulf coast of Louisiana are wonderful.

[galya]

Girl with a Pearl Earring, Deluxe Edition

[Wendy T]

I started listening to Bel Canto by Ann Patchett today.

Re-reading Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. I was forced to read it in middle school, and hated it, but I'm trying to give it another shot.

[Lianne]

I started reading Louis de Bernieres's Birds Without Wings and Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit (at long last---it was given to me as a Christmas present and I've only gotten around to reading it now xD)

Aww, I hope you get around to reading it soon! =) I know what you mean, I seem to take forever getting around to reading books that were given to me as gifts (even though they're books I've been eyeing for for ages!) *thud*

[Nancy (Colorado)]

For our "monthly read," I am reading The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pieby Alan Bradley. It was recommended by our school media specialist who is also on Goodreads!

[Silver]

I am currently reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon and The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

I'm reading Vanishing Act by Fern Michaels. I love this sisterhood series.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Now I am gonna read Dark Blood - Stuart MacBride.

[Wendy T]

I'm planning on starting Ya Yas in Bloom by Rebecca Wells.

[Sarah]

Li,

I finished Ann Radcliffe's The Romance of the Forest recently and I liked it. How was A Sicilian Romance?

[galya]

Started Atlas Shrugged. Like it a lot so far. It's a somewhat fast read, but because the print is so tiny, and it's over 1000 pages, you don't get too far fast. =)

[Beth A.]

Galya, I'm reading Atlas Shrugged for a book club in September. We're all a bit nervous because it's so long. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it.

[Renée]

I'm reading The Angel's Game, The Commoner, and Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World...and also Moby-Dick, again (my favorite book). :)

[Tanya]

Gayla and Beth, I read "Atlas Shrugged" as well. I want to read it again in the larger paperback form since the mass market paperback is bad on the eyes. My husband listened to it on audio and we both recommend it highly. I want to read "Fountainhead" as well.

[Lianne]

I thought it was a pretty thrilling read, kept me guessing as to how things were going to turn out in the end =)

I am currently reading Christopher Reich's Rules of Deception and I just started reading Arturo Perez-Reverte's The Fencing Master.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Now I am gonna read Escape from Shangri-la - Michael Morpurgo.

[Priscilla]

i finished reading "TWenties girls by Shopie kinsella"(really liked it!) recently..now just began reading "Sense and sensibility by Jane Austen"

[Fiona (Titch)]

This morning I am gonna read Long Way Home - Michael Morpurgo.

[galya]

Beth and Tanya.
I'm only about 1/5 through, but the story is very captivating. The way Rand writes is astonishing. The story just flows so naturally. She manages to work the story of the past into the present so bealutifully, that you aren't left out of any detail. (that excludes the mysteries of the story)
I think I'm reading the mass paper back, the print is so tiny! What scares me isn't the size, although it is somewhat intimidating, but that I won't be able to fully comprehend the moral, the philosophy of the book. I'm not very good at interpretation. If you tell me "oh, this is what it is", I can agree because I see it, but just can't word it. Ehh, I wish I was better at interpretation.

[Fiona (Titch)]

So now I've gone back to Dark Blood - Stuart MacBride.

[Wendy T]

I started Scarlet Feather by Maeve Binchy today.

[Lianne]

I'm currently reading Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden and the remaining two volumes of Dante's The Divine Comedy at the moment =)

[Fiona (Titch)]

Decided to read the following as I wanna read non-taxing books lol.

The Fang Gang: My Vampire Grandad - Roy Apps

Unheard Voices - Malorie Blackman

The Tannery - Sherrie Hewson

The Perfect Murder - Peter James

Kiss of Death - Malcolm Rose

[Frances]

The Girl Who Played with Fire

[Donna]

Just picked up a classic, The Third Man by Graham Greene. Now I'm going to have to see the movie.

[Fiona (Titch)]

[Kat (A Journey In Reading)]

I started Cutting for Stone this morning.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Now I'm reading Sari Sleepover - Narinder Dhami

[Frances]

I recently purchased The Hours from a local used book store {for $1} and I'm planning to start it tonight.

[Beth]

Kat wrote: "I started Cutting for Stone this morning."

I loved that book!

[Beth]

Right now I'm concentrating on Every Last One by Anna Quindlen. It's a "Most Wanted" selection from the library, which means I can only have it for one week. At first I thought it was a litle too wordy and told too much "backstory" but it's very engaging and it's all coming together.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Now I will read Crime Stories - David Belbin, Alan Durant, Gillian Philip, Anne Rooney.

[Lianne]

I'm currently reading Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone. It's all right, though I am a bit unsure as to the point of the Moonstone's hold on everything, lol.

[Beth]

A lot of my GR friends have The Moontone listed as "to read." Have you read The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins? I've heard some good things about it.

[Beth]

Right now I'm reading Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. It's a very good YA book about slavery during the Revolutionary war.

[Wendy T]

I'm reading Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman and listening to the audio book Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah.

[Lainey]

I thought Woman in White a far more riveting read than The Moonstone
