What Are You Reading April 4?

[Okie]

I'm reading a few YA's this week- Birth Marked by Caragh M. O'Brien, Demon Glass by Rachel Hawkins, and Ruined by Paul A. Morris.

[Cindy]

I'm reading Jane Eyre.

[Manda]

Finally finished and now I'm reading .

[Aly is so frigging bored]

I'm still trying to read Lover Mine by JR Ward...

Me too. I am about half done.

Same here, I'm about 300 pages into it. I'm loving it so far.

[Hannah]

I just finished . Now I'd like to read something lighter to cleanse my palate. I was disappointed at the ending of the book and the total body count.

Yikes! Sounds like it's going to pick up with the killing. I was thinking it was going rather slowly.

Well, I think you'll find the mystery is resolved in a way you're not expecting...the way it all played out was just really, really sad to me. Nevertheless, I look forward to starting the e-galley of The Dark Inquiry soon.

[Theresa]

Hmm, glad to know what you all think of Darjeeling. I'm reading the Julia Greys now too. I've finished the first two, and I'm halfway through Silent on the Moor. I think Grave's been my favorite of the three so far. I do love a surprise ending, Hannah, but not a sad one. I hope Raybourn doesn't kill off any of the major characters. (BTW, does that Darjeeling cover remind anyone else of Twilight?)

Those of you reading Jane Eyre (squee!)--have you seen the new movie? I wonder how closely it follows the novel. I've never seen a version that I adored, though the Ciaran Hinds/Samantha Morton version from the 90s is pretty good, just a little too brief.

[Dls]

About to read Vienna Waltz by Teresa Grant and also the new Jodi Thomas.

[Mrs.ColinBridgerton]

I'm reading My One and Only by Kristan Higgins. She is just awesome!
Jane Eyre is fabulous! Thats all I have to say. LOL

Theresa-Did you see the Ruth Wilson/Toby Stephens mini series (Jane Eyre) that is the only version I have liked. The other versions, specially the one with William Hurt, I've hated. IN fact the one with WH turned me off JE for ages, I wouldnt even read the book, and then I saw the Masterpiece theatre one and I fell in love with both the series and the novel.

You are always spot-on! I love the Ruth Wilson/Toby Stephens version of Jane Eyre. Absolutely hated the William Hurt movie. It was terrible. And I'm patiently waiting for my copy of the new Kristan Higgins book to arrive. :)

Ooh, I haven't! Thanks so much for the rec. I'll see if I can get it from my library or Netflix. And I'll be sure NOT to look up the William Hurt version. :) Shy away from the 1944 Orson Welles version, too. I love classic movies in general, but...not that one.

After I finish the Julia Grey series, I'll be catching up on Kristan Higgins. Yay! So far my fav by her is Just One of the Guys--I love a friends-to-lovers story.

[Mrs.ColinBridgerton]

Cindy-Ugh, that version still gives me the shudders. Happy to know I am not alone. ;-) As for patience, I have none lol. I almost tackled my UPS guy when he delivered it cause it took 3 days instead of 2 to be delivered ha ha.

Theresa-I've actually heard really good reviews about the Orson Welles one but I tend to steer clear from really old movies. The acting just seems odd to me. But thanks for the heads up.

And just to whet your appetite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU0DJF...

I didn't see the Twilight connection until now...aaah, it's everywhere! The proliferation of Twilightesque covers on YA books didn't bother me until one day last summer when I was browsing in Target and I noticed that all the book covers had the same design element.
I'm already about halfway done with The Dark Enquiry and it's shaping up to be a five-star read.

[Mrs.ColinBridgerton]

I finished My One and Only by KH last night, so now I'm re-reading Too Much Temptation by Lori Foster, one of my favorites.

[Susan]

Just finished Julie Anne Long's What I Did For a Duke. The last chapter was completely unexpected for me! oh, well, I liked the epilogue.

Now on to Thicker Than Blood, which I downloaded for free onto my Nook.

[Irisheyes]

Just finished NEVER A GENTLEMAN by Eileen Dreyer and I loved it. Diccan and Grace were great together and I totally believed in their HEA. I also read the excerpt for ALWAYS A TEMPTRESS. I can't wait for Kate and Harry's story. Looks like it's gonna be a good one.

Now onto another Cheryl St. John or THE SWEETEST THING by Jill Shalvis.

[Susan]

Finished Thicker than Blood. It was a contemporary christian thriller, actually quite good, this author's first published book.
