I finished Mockingjay last night so I started The Darkest Hour (the last of the original Warriors series) in an attempt to lessen the amount of actual books that need to be read.

[Liz]

I read TIMELESS and started THE BOOK OF TOMORROW.

[Shyrill]

The Girl who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson

[Tam]

Hi all, I am new to the group. I am re-reading Midwives by Chris Bohjalian as I didn't get my library books before the weekend. I have requested from the library The Winner by David Baldacci and Wildfire by Nelson DeMille. I have gotten hooked on these two authors lately but will have their books finished soon.

[Kathy]

Finally finished . Great book, but not an easy read for sure. Putting off starting The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (for my 3rd read), cause my son is reading other stuff and we're going to do it together. It's ok, it's not like I'm hurting for reading material. lol. I started:

[Jade]

I am about to begin Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I also want to pick up either Drood or The Passage but I'm not sure which one I want to buy.

[Kathy]

I loved The Passage, Jade! Great story and characters! Enjoy! :)

I enjoyed it just as much as the first two really, and read it just as quick. I was a little worried because people where saying it was a let down but I didn't feel that way about it

[Blair]

To Die For - Chistopher Pike

[Michelle]

Well I finished off Inkdeath so I started another called Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. It looked interesting and I like steampunk so I'm hoping I'll enjoy this as well. So far it's interesting

[sonya]

2. The Black Ice

Roots was very good, I'm glad I re-read it. Very long book, and some parts went on and on a little more than I liked. There was a lot of the dialect which I'm sure was typical of the time and sometimes I had to read twice to understand what it was saying. But it was a very captivating story, has a lot of history in it, and I'm sure it's a perfect example of how things were at the time. Heartbreaking at times, we humans haven't always behaved in a humane manner, but also heartwarming at times.

I have Black Ice at the bottom of the pile. So excited to see it mentioned . Will tackle it.

East of Eden is in my 5 top books of all time. Steinbeck was a master.

[stormhawk]

Finally, finally finished A Storm of Swords, now focusing on Wolf And Iron so I can try to get to Erewhon for a buddy read, and then probably The Sentry, which a cow orker got as a Firstreads book.

[Patricia]

Last night I just started:

Flowers for Algernon

There was a thread on Kindleboards about what book made you cry and this was one that was mentioned.

[Nessa]

Almost through

and starting .

Both are new series for me. Very good so far.

It is a tearjerker but a good one. One of my favorites books. The movie, "Charly," was well-done too.

[Jackie M]

I am reading

[Elizabeth]

Grace, What is Regency?
I have the first book " The Girl with the Golden Tatoo" but for some reason pick it up and then just put it down.

[Elizabeth]

David,
Are you going to make me read East of Eden Again?
No prose like Steinbeck.

even with my ereader I have 100 paper books, but Michael C. is one of my faves. listen to one of his author interviews sometime on youtube.com

[Michelle]

Finished Leviathan so I started Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. I'm borrowing it (and few others) so I really need to read them. May start something on my kindle but not sure yet

[stormhawk]

Crystal Singer - Anne McCaffrey
Erewhon - Samuel Butler

[David]

"once he had accepted the end as desirable"

I won't MAKE you read East of Eden but if you find reading it desirable...

"he should forget it completely and concentrate solely on the means." Steinbeck-East of Eden.

I love re-reading my favorite books, it is almost similar to catching up with an old friend.

[Elizabeth]

Great comment "catching up with an old Friend"

[Samantha]

just finished and now reading

[sonya]

reading Patricia Cornwell--BOOK OF THE DEAD

[Patricia]

By Their Father's Hand I started this last night but it's just not grabbing me, may have to quit for now. Nobody writes true crime like Kathryn Casey, Ann Rule, and M. William Phelps.

[Nessa]

Samantha wrote: "just finished and now reading "

I read Darkfever the other day and thought it was great! Let me know how The Darkest Night is. It's on my list TBR and I haven't heard anything about it yet :)

"

I'm going to add my agreement with this comment! I've been catching up with some "old friends" courtesy of the Kindle and really enjoying it. What I find truly interesting is being reintroduced to details that I'd forgotten while remembering the main plot.

[Michelle]

I just started Magyk by Angie Sage on my kindle. I really wanted to read something else that wasn't a paranormal type of book.
