Valerie | 266 comments @Kimber.... Good to hear it! Interesting that that much of the movie differed so much from the book.

@Steven... Hhmmm... Interesting!! LOL I haven't even peeked inside it yet. And... I don't think it's all "that" horrible to peek at the end. ;)

Michelle (shadowrose) Well I finished The Lost Hero and it was just as wonderful as the Percy Jackson series. Definitely can't wait for the nest book to come out.

Started The War of Mists and I Am Ozzy. Both of which are wonderful so far.

stormhawk | 1184 comments I am going to try to finish the books I've had pending for a while before I start anything new, so I'm plugging along with The Book of Air and Shadows. A nurse at work loaned it to me, and I feel really bad for having it for more than three weeks without finishing it. I usually get her books back to her in a matter of days.

message 56: by Valerie (new)

Valerie | 266 comments I was going to start on Eat, Pray, Love, but one of my groups is participating in a swap of sorts with the book The Lake of Dreams... So I need to read this one first so that I can get it off to the next person on the list as soon as I can.

Priscilla | 17 comments I am reading Sprinkle with Murder (Cupcake Bakery Mystery, #1) by Jenn McKinlay Sprinkle with Murder. I love the talk of the cake shop and recipes...I make and decorate cakes myself so I am really enjoying it.

Shelley (shelleylynn) | 13 comments Just starting Maximum Ride - The Angel Experiment. It is one of those hyped books that I am not overly excited to read but mildly curious all the same. We will see how it goes.

Michelle Myhill (michellemyhill) I just started Outlander by Diana Gabaldon on my Nook and I really like it so far.

The Odd Thomas series is great. I really hope that if you like the first book that you read the others. I'm not sure if you've read any other books by Dean Koontz but to recommend a few: velocity, Life expectence, The Good Guy, The Husband. Well I hope you enjoy the book.


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) i'm reading Adam Bede. i thought it would bore me to death, but i'm getting drawn in instead. bucolic small village farmers didn't appeal to me so much, but its on many lists of Great Books. i began it to complete my list read, but i'm going to end it because i like it.

stormhawk | 1184 comments I couldn't help it, the main book (Book of Air and Shadows) is so boring I had to read something else in between ...

Littlebearries | 2 comments I'm reading, for the second time, Foundling by D.M. Cornish.
I LOVED this book the first time around, and am still loving it this time. I'm rereading it because the third book in the series came out... and the world is so complex I'm not sure I'll remember all the ins and outs of it without rereading.

Beanie (amoeboid) | 33 comments Now, I am currently reading Spin by Robert Charles Wilson. Captivating, so far.


message 87: by Shelley (new)

Shelley (shelleylynn) | 13 comments All things considered Maximum Ride wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am glad I read it, however I don't know that I liked it enough to continue on with the series.
Moved on to Sting Autobiography and Jane Eyre!

Emer (bugsy94) | 1 comments I've just started reading Villette and I'm hoping it will be as good as Jane Eyre.


message 92: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (shadowrose) I just started Mockingjay a few hours ago and though I had already started it I'm just getting into Inkdeath. It took me a bit to get back into the story and the size is a little bit of a put off but it's lovely so far.

Lisa Anne/Rachel I am really liking it so far. I have pushed this book away for a LONG time and had it in my head for some reason that I wouldn't like it. Thought it would be like P&P and I didn't like that book. But I am pleased to say I am really enjoying :)
