Suzanne, I loved Snow in August. Pete Hamill's books just grab your imagination and won't let go. We read North River for a book club and (a first) everyone loved the book. Never had that experience with this group before. Hope you enjoy the rest.

i read this at the beach a few years ago. i enjoyed it, but i can see how some readers may not have been too thrilled with it.

You would probably really enjoy Pride and Promiscuity: The Lost Sex Scenes of Jane Austen. They're fake sex scenes of Austen by the style is really convincing. They are hysterical.

Really, that is hilarious. Do you know who wrote it?


message 10265: by Vicki (new)

Vicki Still reading Shadow of the Wind, but also started Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult, about 130 pages into it, so good so far, but I am waiting for the mother to find out about his plan.


message 10266: by Kristen (new)

Kristen Harvey I pushed my other books aside for the night so I could start Fragile Eternity which came into the library for me today. Gah! So excited!

I'd love to hear how that is. I read Wicked Lovely, but still have Ink Exchange to read. I will be reading it soon, so I can get to Fragile Eternity, when it comes in from Amazon.


message 10268: by Kristen (new)

Kristen Harvey It's weird because Fragile Eternity is actually the sequel to Wicked Lovely, but Ink Exchange deals with the same world.

It was written by Seth Grahame-Smith, though amazon also lists Jane Austen as the author.

Angela | 1934 comments Finally reading Sweet Far Thing by Libra Bray. It is a hefty book (819 pages)... I am on page 200 and so far I am not disappointed. I am trying to savor this one since it is the last in the trilogy.


message 10278: by Kandice (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments A Traveller's Companion to Dublin

This book was so interesting. So much history was told through letters, parts of biographies, diaries...about the city I live in now.


message 10280: by Carol (new)

Carol (caroldias) Just started The Virgin Suicides today.

I want to read some Mary Janice Davidson too, the first one.


message 10281: by April (new)

April (booksandwine) | 954 comments Angela, The Sweet Far Thing is fantastic, when you finish it there is a Gemma Doyle thread, you should definately share your opinions!

I finished The Diary of Anne Frank and am now reading I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. It's wonderful so far.

I'll bet you'll end up loving and anxiously awaiting the next in the series with the rest of us:)



message 10289: by Jamie (new)

Jamie I had started reading The Well of Lost Plots (3rd in the Thursday Next series), but I've decided to go with The Titan's Curse (3rd in the Percy Jackson series) instead. Because of the Spring Challenge, I feel like I need to get some of my books read quickly, since I've fallen a bit behind where I'd wanted to be. Like the other books in the Thursday Next series, The Well of Lost Plots seems really contrived to me. It IS (being it's a fantasy), of course, but I wish it weren't glaringly obvious. I'll have to get back to it later.

Southernbelle0326 | 12 comments I just got finished reading the California Series by Cathy Marie Hake.

Jenna | 224 comments Reading Goodnight Nobody by Jennifer Wiener. Easy read and fun so far. Need some easy reading while I am finishing up my grad work. My brain can't handle anything to heavy right now.

message 10298: by Mari (new)

Mari I just started The Reluctant Fundamentalist. It's definitely written in an interesting way.

I read that book in one day, almost one sitting. You are right, such an interesting way to pull the reader in...
