Oh I just read Two for the Dough this past weekend! I liked it better than the first. How are you enjoying it so far?

[Stephanie]

Really liking it! And it's going SO much quicker than the last book I read, which is a nice change of pace :) I also think I'm enjoying it more than the first so far.

[Maria]

finished Bleeding Hearts by Ian Rankin the other night, and just started The Mistress of the Art of Death. good so far!

[Lori Ann]

I finished Watership Down and am now reading 1984 because I somehow didn't have to read in hs... I'm only 30 pgs in and loving it already. I've loved Animal Farm for years so I guess I'm partial to Orwell's writing style...

[Jamie]

I finished The Lightning Thief this morning and have moved on to the next book in the series: The Sea of Monsters.

[JuliAnna]

I just finished Dissolution, and I want to thank Susanna and the others here who recommended it. It is definitely one of the best historical mysteries I have read. It makes me want to dig up some good nonfiction about Cromwell's reforms.

[Alisha Marie]

Ha, Jeane, trust me it was not easy for me to put that one down. The thing is that the library was an impulse trip for me (my little sister who's four saw that we were passing it and begged me to stop, so that she could pick up books) and no matter how much I try, I can't leave empty-handed. And once I have library books, I can't pick up anything I own since they're do first (that's the main reason I'm only just now getting to the Scarpetta novels as opposed to November when I actually purchased them).

Don't worry, though, as soon as I finish my library books, I'm picking it right back up.

I read that one a couple of weeks ago and thought it was already much better than the first one too.

I have seen lots of the ian rankin serie on tv and recently read my first book by him...they are soooo good. The book was as good as the serie I watched.

I recently finished Eats, Shoots & Leaves The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation
YAWN!
And also...Winesburg, Ohio
ODD!
Now I'm reading A Man Named Dave A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness
It's good. I've read the 2 other books by Pelzer and was very moved by his story....

Next up is Tar Heel Dead Tales of Mystery and Mayhem from North Carolina

I agree - whenever someone was talking about an HP move, I walked away because I hadn't read the book yet. A few friends were talking about Marley and Me (movie), which I haven't read yet, now I don't want to read it because they mentioned a few things, plus a lot of reviews mentioned unpositive things

Jamie I started "Lightning Thief" a few months ago while working and was very interested in it. I meant to get it from the public library so I could finish it but forgot. Thanks for reminding me to get it!

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Finished Shadow of the Wind yesterday, and have picked up A Town Like Alice. It grabs you right from the start!

[JSou]

I'm still trying to finish up World War Z, so I can start Shadow of the Wind. My copy finally came in the mail! Hurray!

It's been a busy week, and haven't been able to get much reading done. Hopefully I can finish WWZ tonight, so I can dive on in to SOTW this weekend.

[Jamie]

Paula - The Percy Jackson books seem to be fast and fun reads - I even got my husband into them (and he rarely ever reads). I hope you enjoy it!

[Kristen]

Started Good Omens The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch yesterday and hope to finish it today. I think I will start I Capture the Castle after that.

[Lisa]

"What the Dead Know" by Laura Lippman

[Jeane]

A long weekend! three days off to read!

[Lisa]

I loved that book. I like most of Lippman's books, but her stand alones are my favorites.

What great twists this has! I'm definitely going to have to pick up more of her stuff.

[Lisa]

I just finished The Shadow of the Wind. I have Rebecca and The Historian from the library, so I will be picking on of those next.

[Knarik]

I just finished the Host(didn't like it much). And I am going to finish the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy(still have 30 pages to read).

[Kellie]

Just finished A Man Named Dave A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness
Liked it. Gave Dave's story some closure.

Now...on to Tar Heel Dead Tales of Mystery and Mayhem from North Carolina

[Celeste]

I'm read The Expected One by McGowen. I'm really enjoying it so far. It's a story about Mary Magdalene mainly and how her reputation was intentionally tainted. The second book in the series just came out, it's called The Book of Love. If this one goes well I'll definitelly pick up that one.

Thank you Ann for the thumbs up on A Reliable Wife. I was wondering about that book. I'll have to add it to my huge TBR pile. I love GR.

[Jeane]

Oh Lisa, great books. I read rebecca some years ago and don't remember what it was about but I have still a good feeling about it. shadow of the wind is great and i love The historian. Hopefully you keep reading the latter because many find it boring in the beginning. But when two stories are started to be told it becomes so good.

[Anisha]

Just jumped into Sophie Kinsella's 'Remember me?' Feels just as hilarious as her other books

[Elisabeth]

I'm currently reading "Written in bone" by Simon Beckett, "Taj" by TN Murari and "Bleak House" by Charles Dickens.

[Claire]

My main book I am reading at the moment is Good Omens The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch and I am loving it so far... I wish I had more time to read, but I should be done in a week. I've not read much in this genre before, but I'm finding it hilarious!

[Chrystal]

I just finished One For the Money.....will definitely be picking up the rest of this series from the library. I'm getting ready to start The Final Victim by Wendy Corsi Staub later today.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I finished Salt A Novel by Isabel Zuber. It was okay. I felt a little too much outside the story. I think it was written that way intentionally, but that's not a style I care for.

Now I'm reading the second book in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice Series, A Clash of Kings. This is an amazing epic fantasy series.

[Mary]

I finished The Reader a few days ago. It is a quick read - beautifully written and translated. It raises very interesting questions regarding the power of truth and love as well as the guilt of post-WWII Germans coming to terms with the previous generation's role in the Holocaust. Difficult subject matter but I am glad that I read it and am sure it will stay with me for quite a while.

Now I am on to Shadow of the Wind.

Thanks Jamie, I've got the first one on hold at the library!

[GracieKat]

I'm rereading The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan, right before that I reread The Kitchen God's Wife and The Joy Luck Club. After I'm finished with The Hundred Secret Senses I'm going to start on Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See.

Jeanne, I did start The Historian yesterday. I'm about 150 pages in. So far, it's good enough to hold my attention. With over 600 pages, I'm hoping it gets better, though.

[Sharon]

OMG! I love that book, it gets to be very captivating. I didn't really enjoy the current story from the daughter's point of view, but the adventures of her father and mother are amazing!

I'm currently reading It's All Right Now, which is proving to be a bit slow. Funny, but slow. For class I'm reading The Second Sex and I'm actually really enjoying that one.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I finished A Town Like Alice and am starting Garden Spells. Alice was a good read and I hope some of you will take a look at it. I'm looking forward to Garden Spells.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist - Mohsin Hamid (ML). Will now read The Boy in the Dress - David Walliams (ML)

[Jamie]

I finished The Sea of Monsters today and I'll be starting the third book in the Thursday Next series, The Well of Lost Plots, now.

The Stephanie Plum series gets better with each new book. I just finished Hard Eight. I love that they are so funny and easy to get into. I read them when I need a break from heavy literature.

I read this book a few years ago. I totally loved this book. Yes, it starts out a little slow, but I really like the way the author takes us into these European countries and puts a more realistic twist on Count Dracula. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[Lori Ann]

I've finished 1984, loved it! scary tho. Now I'm on to The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria, I loved his first book The Future of Freedom and his show on CNN so I'm excited to finally be reading this one

[Debra]

Just finished the Lost City of Z and starting Steven King's Just After Sunset.

[Ann from S.C.]

I am now reading THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins.
