I'll be glad to hear what you think about it, Joanna. I have it on my TBR shelf and for the Spring Challenge Ireland task.

Ann, That one is sitting on my shelf. I'd really like to know what you think.

So far it is good. Her books always touch on such sensitive subjects. I have read all of her books.

I'm currently reading Journey to the Well A Novel. Good book :) Not very far into it, but I am enjoying it. I truly enjoy historical Christian fiction. They make me think!
Just PRE ordered on amazon.com An Echo in the Bone OMG I cannot WAIT!!!!! #7. I'm sure when I get it in the mail, I'm going to SPIN OUT with happiness :)

Have you read The Red Tent? I hear it's fairly good.

[Gracee]

Hi April, Yes, I've read

The Red Tent quite a while ago. I remember enjoying it. :) I think I read it so long ago, I didn't even put it on my "read" list lol!!

[Angela]

Just finished Angela's Ashes... now on to the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society... Hope it is as good as everyone on here has said!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I decided to read 8th Confession - James Patterson & Maxine Paetro for a friend.

I saw the movie awhile back before reding the book - I now want to "resee" the movie now that I have read it. It's hard for me to remember how I felt about the movie.

I just recently read "Serpent's Room" - I think I'm going to read 3,4,5 of this series for my "Spring Challenge"!

[Robin]

I'm reading The Gravedigger's Daughter and really enjoying it. I originally was listening to it on CD but the library version of the disk was bad ;-(. So I'm doing the 2nd half of the book "reading". I think I prefer the reading better than the audio though I'm not sure why.

[Liz]

I plan on finishing A Theory of Adaptation by Linda Hutcheon today.
I've been in Greece for a week, and read Why Men Don't Have A Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes (brain candy) and read about half of Beyond Ragnarok which has somewhat juvenile characters and really earnest descriptions of all the romance. HOWEVER, the plot moves and it's a fabulous break from academic reading (I need to read Dracula before April 29th) and I have a hard time giving up on a book, so I'll be working on that.

[Nancy]

I finished reading Was by Geoff Ryman while on vacation in Poland. It started off a little slow and I got frustrated bouncing back and forth between characters. Once I got into the flow of the story and found them starting to connect, it was difficult for me to put the book down. I loved the mix of reality and fantasy, the characters' lives all connected by a love of "The Wizard of Oz". It was a very imaginative and heartbreaking story.

Anne Brooke's A Dangerous Man was a fascinating and disturbing read. Great descriptions of an artist's work and passion, vivid portrayal of London and its different social classes and believable and engaging characters.

Just started reading Christ in Concrete and am enjoying it so far.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Hvae just finished reading 8th Confession - James Patterson & Maxine Paetro. Gonna carry on reading The Brutal Art - Jesse Kellerman (ML).

I am so excited for Echo too!!

[Sandra]

I am reading The Life of Pie and one of the Hamish
McBeth series by M C Beaton that I like so much.

[Lisa]

"Getting Rid of Matthew" by Jane Fallon in ye olde tradional book form and "The Garden of Last Days" by Andre Dubus III on CD.

[Justine]

Yesterday I read The Pact A Love Story. This morning I started Lamb The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. I also just started The Time Traveler's Wife as an audio book.

[April]

I just finished Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper and am now going on to read The Dark Is Rising, also by Susan Cooper.

[Jackie]

Justine, how do you like Lamb? It's one of my favorite Moore novels. I can't imagine doing The Time Travelers Wife on audio- is it confusing with the whole time thing?

[Kristen]

Just finished Fablehaven Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary, so now I'm starting The Patron Saint of Liars, which is really interesting so far.

[Maureen]

Kristen ~

Hope you continue to enjoy Patron Saint of Liars. I enjoyed it, too, and really love Patchett's writing style.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I loved Patron Saint of Liars. I must say, though, that my religious education was lacking in such a way that I would not have gotten the significance toward the end had I not already read Jodi Picoult's Keeping Faith.

[Kristen]

I hope I will. I've read her most recent novel Run and Bel Canto I read my first year away at college.

[Liz]

Finished A Theory of Adaptation, working on Beyond Ragnarok.

[JuliAnna]

Sarah, Hamish McBeth always makes me smile. Definitely a comfort food.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I just finished Fool, which was great!

And am about to start The Adventures of Guy by Norm Cowie, who is a goodreads author!

[Andrew]

Finally finished 100 Years of Solitude. Thank goodness. It was awful. Very Very Bad.

Started of Mice and Men today in English and planning to start Water for Elephants sometime soon.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I finished Howl's Moving Castle and His Majesty's Dragon this week. I really liked the dragon and loved Howl.

Now I'm working on another one of my dad's old westerns, Tomahawk.

[Alisha Marie]

I FINALLY finished The Stand. I thought it was amazing. Although, I noticed that everytime I finish an end-of-the-world type of book, I end up being exhausted. Books like that are just a tad bit stressful. But I enjoyed it immensely. It's definitely going to my favorites list.

I've picked up Alphabet Weekends Love on the Road from A to Z by Elizabeth Noble. After The Stand, I decided that I needed to read something light-hearted and fluffy. Must read chick-lit!

[Brian]

I just finished two books... surprised by both. I was very disappointed by The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I thought it was a total mess, especially after reading The Book Thief, which I loved! The other surprise was The Memory of Running, which I picked up at the library in a rush, simply because of the cover. I wasn't expecting much, and I loved this book also. Very Forrest Gumpish in a way.

[Dorie]

Brian, I love when a book surprises you (in a good way). For what it's worth, I agree with you on "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". It was too disturbing for me, and depended too much on shock value. I still have "The Book Thief" on my TBR shelf, and will have to bump it up on the list. And I also loved "The Memory of Running", great story.

[Lisa]

My aunt just recommended these books to me; glad to get a second on that recommendation. Now I'll have to look for them. Is there an order they should be read in or does it work to just pick up any one?

[Linda]

Just finished Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum and thought it was absolutely astounding. At times very difficult to read because of the disturbing nature of the content, but well worth it.

[Mosca]

Just finished Alphabet of Thorn by Patricia A. McKillip. The very last chapter changed my opinion of this for the better. A very nice parable.

If I have the strength, I'm tempted to read Anathem by Neal Stephenson next. But anything is possible.

I need to go to the State government library this afternoon for my work. But perhaps I will stumble upon something while I'm there. I always like going to libraries.

Hi Grace - have you read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers? Its a Christian fiction and is a wonderful book. I couldn't put it down.

[Allison]

I second that, Redeeming Love is fantastic!

[Claire]

Glad you enjoyed it, Allison! I have a few other books of hers on my TBR and am looking forward to reading them (The Last Sin Eater, Leota's Garden).

[Allison]

yeah, I really want to read her uh...Mark of the Lion series, I think its called? I need to do that soon.

[Justine]

Jackie, I'm really enjoying Lamb so far. I'm about halfway through right now.
So far The Time Traveler's Wife on audio isn't too bad, but I think I'm only on the second or third chapter and there hasn't been a whole lot of time traveling yet. I can tell this is going to be a book I'm going to have to read though.

[Lisa]

I'm reading 2 books at once right now, which is unusual for me. I'm reading Liberal Fascism and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Mystery. So far, LF is very interesting, but slow going. That's why I started the faster mystery, as well.

[Jessica]

I am reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It's so good!

[Allison]

Jess wrote: "

YES YES! I read this last night, and I loved it. I couldn't put it down until I'd read the entire thing.

Everyone...run! RUN! don't walk...RUUUUUN and get this book. It is brilliant.

[Stephanie]

Currently reading God's Middle Finger Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre. It's a non-fiction. I needed a book set in Mexico for the challenge, and it sounded interesting.

[Donna]

Hi Lisa, I'll give a third recommendation to the Hamish McBeth mysteries. While they don't have to be read in exact order there are 23 or 24 of them and the characters have evolved so I would try to start with one of the early ones like Death of a Gossip or Death of a Cad and then move on through the list.

[Alisha Marie]

I put down Alphabet Weekends Love on the Road from A to Z because I just wasn't getting into it. Now, I'm reading Looking for Alaska by John Green.

Thank's Donna!

[JuliAnna]

Lisa, I agree with Donna. It isn't crucial to read them in order, but it is definitely preferable. I hope you enjoy them.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Started In Her Shoes last night. It's holding my interest so far.

[Maureen]

Allison ~ I've read the first two of Rivers' Mark of the Lion series. Would definitely recommend them! And, ya know, with Easter coming up and all, appropos subject matter. :)
