Alisha, I read The Kindness of Strangers quite awhile ago, but the story has stayed with me. Would be interested to know what you think.

[Melissa]

I'm still working on Breaking Dawn. I've been on vacation for the past week and a half, so I haven't gotten much reading done. Let me say, I like Bella a bit more now, but she is still annoying. And, I still don't like Edward. I know, GASP, right? lol I'm also reading the online version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I had it bookmarked here at work. Maybe I'll get a little further in today.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

just finished Eat, Pray, Love One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia and now on to The Time Traveler's Wife

[Lauren]

I am reading Pleasure Unbound

[Fran]

Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks, fantastic so far.

[Suzanne]

I am half way through with Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed by Lance Carbuncle. I bought this book because of the mention of it on this site and I am not disappointed.

[Carrie]

I've just started: Marked by P.C Cast and Kristin Cast

[Good Book Fairy]

The man in the white sharkskin suit. book club selection.

[Kellie]

I just finished Tar Heel Dead Tales of Mystery and Mayhem from North Carolina
This is a great book of murder-mystery short stories written by various authors of N. Carolina. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I am now reading Freakonomics Rev Ed A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
So far it's really interesting! I'm liking it!

[Sherrie]

Just finished The Book Thief (what a sad story, but I liked it) and A Thread of Grace. Now starting The Stolen Child A Novel and The Gargoyle. Not sure what I think of The Gargoyle yet. It's an audio and the narrator is very nasal, it's kind of annoying me. On deck, I have The History of Love A Novel and Atonement.

[Kristen]

I just started Lamb - the story of Jesus written by his best friend Biff. It's pretty amusing, I have to say i was pretty skeptical.

[Sherrie]

Lori - I loved The Book of Lost Things. It is dark, for sure. Though, the part where he first met Snow White had me laughing out loud!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Snow white was my favorite part!!

[Lisa]

I finished The Historian. It was ok, but I wasn't really in to it.

I finished Rebecca yesterday. I really enjoyed that book. I knew about some of the characters as they were in the Thursday Next books, but I had never read the book. I'm glad I have now.

I also read Who's Looking Out for You? It was a fast but interesting read.

You have a nice list of books there. I loved the Book Thief and enjoyed Stolen Child and The Gargoyle. The beginning was a little tough, but I really liked Marianne's parts. I know how you feel about audio though. I can't listen to annoying voices. I also have Atonement and History of Love to read.

[Vicki]

Lori wrote: "Snow white was my favorite part!!"

I really enjoyed that part too... I just finished the book on Sunday.

[Debra]

I absolutely loved The Book of Lost Things. So different from anything I'd read before.

[Ann from S.C.]

I am reading JESUS LAND A MEMOIR by Julia Scheeres.

[Jessica]

Just finished My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams and am now onto Boy Still Missing by John Searles.

[Dorie]

I had to interrupt my reading of "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" by Diane Gabaldon because I received a couple of books I had reserved at the library. So I'm currently reading "All That I Have" by Castle Freeman Jr. It's a very short book at only 176 pages. So far it's pretty good.

[GracieKat]

Well, I took a break from Snow Flower and the Secret Fan to read a recently received book, "Mr. Wroe's Virgins". I'm glad I didn't pay for it because it's going right back on the swap list!

So now I'm back to Snow Flower and enjoying that much more.

I love that book.

Ann- I'm interested to know how you like Jesus Land. I read it about a year ago, and was awestruck at everything...

Vicki,
Thanks for the comment on The Gargoyle. I was actually not sure if I as going to continue it - not because of the narrator, but because I just don't see where this story is going...I'll keep going. I'm about 1/4 of the way through.

[Lianne]

I am currently re-reading Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility =)

[Fiona (Titch)]

Will finish The Calling - Inger Ash Wolfe (ML) today and will either listen to Spilling The Beans - Clarissa Dickson Wright (Audio/ML) or read Tethered - Amy McKinon (ML).

[Kim]

I just started Bright Lights, Big Ass by Jennifer Lancaster. I needed a light, funny read, and loved her 1st book, Bitter is the New Black.

[Ashley]

I loved this one even more than Bitter.

[Kellie]

Kim & Ashley.
I also liked BLBA better than Bitter.
The title alone makes me laugh!

[Angela]

Pretty in Plaid is coming out in May by Jen Lancaster... cannot wait to get it!! I loved all her books. So funny!

Kathy Reichs as well.

I finished the Time Traveler's Wife last week- I couldn't put that book down- It was very well written, an interesting concept, and a good story. Hope your enjoying it.

[Shelley]

I am reading Middlesex and struggling with it a little bit. I thought I would pick up Marked - PC Cast- last night to compensate but I am having a hard time with that one as well. Hopefully one or the other improves soon.

What were others opinions of Middlesex- did anyone else struggle with it at first??? Did it get better?

[Stephanie]

Shelley - I really liked Middlesex, and it's been a little bit since I read it, but I do remember getting bogged down in the beginning with all the back-story. However, I still thought it added so much and the pace does pick up. Hopefully you start enjoying it more soon! :)

[Stephanie]

Oh, and I just started Change of Heart after just finishing Rebecca.

[Paula]

I've just started an older book called "The Women of Roundtree". I'm less than 50 pages so don't have an opinion yet. Very snowy today so I should be able to make some progress later.

Shelley....
I just read Middlesex and I have a review out there if you are interested.
Trust me, the 2nd half of the book is much better. Don't give up on it. I don't know why the author went into so much detail about the grandparents...I didn't see the relevance. I was about ready to quit reading it but after I got past 1/2 way, I started to like it much better.

I think the author went into a lot of detail about the grandparents because without them, there could be no story. That's where the gene defect came in.

I should be more clear.
Grandparents are important. Just thought their story was too long and dragged out. Could have cut it down a bit.....

[JSou]

I am currently reading The Wasp Factory. So far, it's very strange...

Fiona, I see (ML) after many of the books you mention. Did I miss the explanation for that somewhere in the thread?

I just started reading 1632 by Eric Flint. It's a series of alternate history books. So far, it is really intersting. Set in the 30 Years War, which I don't know much about.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Currently reading Under Orders, by Dick Francis. Enjoying it.

[Mosca]

Jessica,

I started an Iain M. Banks thread Here because that author has made a strong impression on me--and I am not certain a positive one.

However, even among his big fans, The Wasp Factory seems to generate some skepticism.

I'm still working on my feelings about Banks. Maybe read some more of him; but not for a while.

Lisa, ML is Mobile Library. I am in the UK and a booksite I belong to we have books we send to ppl who would like to read it. It goes round different ppl hon. Hope that explains (its a shorten way to tell ppl what books we have)

[Angela]

Kim said I know, there are so many great summer reads coming out in May, June and July! Jen Lancaster, Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, James Patterson... :)

I just had to look up the new Lisa Gardner... usually I am on top of my favorite authors. Thanks!

[April]

I just finished Greenwitch by Susan Cooper and am now starting Walden, or Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau for the Spring Challenge.
