Cheryl Landmark (clandmark) | 375 comments I just started reading Fire by Kristin Cashore.

Tanya | 2 comments In the middle of I'd Know You Anywhere by Laura Lippman . Interesting reading a book based on the area that you live in and having the author depict it in a way that you would... Decent story so far but not sure what the central plot of the book is, which is beginning to get frustrating. Will read The Radleysnext...

stormhawk | 1184 comments I also like reading books set locally. I was recently surprised to find a book that I'd liked BECAUSE it was set locally that seemed to capture the area pretty well was written by someone who had NEVER BEEN HERE.

sonya marie madden  | 441 comments i have to stop laying down to read unless my body wants to fall asleep. I hate when I do that in the morning and sleep all day after I put the book down.

Going to start Dark Fever next.Never read any genre like that. Should I read it in a certain order with her other books?

The Secret Garden is by Frances Hodgson Burnett, who also wrote A Little Princess, which is another fantastic read (IMHO).

I would definetly read the Fever series in order..I was told you could read her Highlander series out of order but I haven't read any of those yet.

Valerie | 266 comments I just started reading a YA book called Pegasus by Robin McKinley. I actually started it Monday evening, but it was just so dang "dry" in the very beginnning. I put it down for several days & just picked it back up today... So far it's picked up and seems to be better, and hopefully will continue to be so.

Terri (terrijd) | 209 comments Really excited to be currently reading The Portable Dorothy Parker (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) by Dorothy Parker because I've admired her work for years, but was able to read a few selections from college anthologies before now.

Elizabeth (elizabeth8921) | 2233 comments Dark Fever was not for me. After 100 pages I found it confusing. Paranormal Romance definition?

message 184: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (elizabeth8921) | 2233 comments After Nessa and Andrea comments about Dark Fever and then saw where one of Moning's books was on the top 10 Publisher's Weekly list maybe I should try again.


message 185: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Dutton | 19 comments They are different, but the book gets a lot better the further into it you get. I admit I was confused during the first half of the book, but then I started figuring things out. Once you finish the first one you have to pick up the second because it leaves you hanging so bad. LOL.

Rebecca (bexsi) I have finished The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger The Time Traveler's Wife This is an exceptional book, I loved it from beginning to end. A beautiful love story with an original concept. It's deeply moving, funny, sad, intelligent and original. 5 Stars

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

What a story. It's quite an education. I have an Uncle who was in WWII and he's pretty outspoken about it, now I can understand why.

Valerie | 266 comments I just finished reading Red Riding Hood by Sarah Blakley-Cartwright which is a tie-in to the movie coming out next month. I admit I figured out the story early on, but certainly enjoyed it. I could envision it playing out in my mind, and really looking forward to the movie. There will be another chapter posted on the 14th of March... just go to the book's website: www.redridinghoodbook.com
