I'm working on The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower by Stephen King. It's soo good. Last in the series, which makes me sad 'cause I love the series and the characters...I feel close to them like I did to the HP characters.

[Rachel]

Leanna-Yeah, that series is awesome. The characters feel like real people.

[Ana]

I just started "Love the one you're with", by Emily Giffin.

[Avigail]

Well I am reading "The Grapes of Wrath"- by John Steinbeck. I read it in igh School and didn't like it know that I reread it 10 years after I love it. I love the way that John Steinbeck writes. I saw in B&N hard cover books with all his works by dacates, I know that I will buy those hard cover books.

I love that series but I'm only up to the 5th book. Hope you enjoy it!

[Linda]

It never ceases to amaze me that with so many diverse reading pallets we always manage to find linkage in the books we love. We always say "so many great books, but so little time." Well, ain't that the truth. I just love that I have had the good fortune to have my mind expanded by the selections of so many people giving me hours of great reads.

[Lianne]

I finished reading Kate Mosse's Labyrinth, which was a lot more interesting than I thought. I'm now on to Ariana Franklin's City Of Shadows =)

What did you think of breathers? I read that last week "

Jo- I really liked it. I thought it was very funny and smart. Not exactly the zombies i'm used to but it really made you root for the zombies. It was an interesting twist on the genre.

[JSou]

Right now, I'm about halfway through Kafka on the Shore. It' strange, but flippin' fantastic!

[Vicki]

I finished Sarah's Key last night and I absolutely loved it. Now I am not sure where to go from there. I think I may start [Book: Secret Scripture] by Sebastian Barry.

[Bhumi]

I'm going to the library soon to get new books! Can't wait.

[Bluemoon]

I am currently reading Sepulchre by Kate Mosse. I went to the library looking for Labyrinth but it was out so I got this instead. I am also listening to The Shack. This is for my local book club and I wasn't sure that I was going to like it but so far it isn't bad.

[Suzanne]

I finished 'Water for Elephants' and you were all so right...It was a wonderful book!!!
Don't want any spoilers here so I'll just leave it at that...
Happy Reading!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Suzanne, since this was a past group read, there is a discussion thread open for it. Hop over there and post to it if you like :)

[Suzanne]

hopping and posting!!!

Thanks,Lori!!!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Anytime .... Theres some good discussions that took place in there.

I've been meaning to read this for about 20 years!! Tell me how you like it!!

I enjoyed What's Eating Gilbert Grape. There were some fairly significant differences between the book and the movie. I think I actually liked the movie better. That is very unusual for me.

[Jenna]

Jessica,
I just finished reading Kafka on the Shore and felt the same way throughout the whole thing. A great book, but soooo strange.

[Mary]

I'm reading Between the Assassinations and so far I like it even more that I did The White Tiger.

[Ann from S.C.]

I finished 8TH CONFESSION and liked it. Now am starting FINGER LICKING FIFTEEN by Janet Evanovich. I see a pattern here... I like series books.

[Teresa]

Has anyone read The Gargoyle? I just finished it and am curious what other people think.

[Jennifer]

Finished The Road and have now moved on to The Hours. Has anyone read The Hours? What did you think?

[Pumpernickel]

Hayes and BJ Rose,

Thank you BOTH for directions AND the link! Yes, I finally found it. I was supposed to be travelling since yesterday, BUT it's winter here and with this continuous rain BOTH in São Paulo AND in Santos ( the beach ) , I have decided to put the trip off till Sunday or Monday... URRRRGH !

[Pumpernickel]

I have been reading Daniel Silva's The Secret Servant and it is another page-turner and another good surprise, since it's also well written.

I've also been reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and have had some laughs with it. It's well written too, and I think that the fact that it is written through letters is, at least for me, of more interest -- I've always been curious and simply LOVE letters and diaries...

And, since I cannot read a book at a time, and since Lauren has got me sort of 'addicted' to Donna Leon's books, I've also been reading Death and Judgement. I'm half into this book, when detective Brunetti talks to a prostitute and, although they are in Venice, Italy, just guess where she comes from... Yes, São Paulo , Brazil. I know that there is a large number of Brazilian girls who go to another country and end up by being prostitutes, but they HARDLY ever come from São Paulo; most of them are from the Northeast, where possibilities of finding a well-paid job are a lot more limited... Urrrgh!

[Beth]

I recently finished The Remains of the Day (pleasantly surprised - 4 stars), The Little Stranger (disappointing - 2 stars) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (intriguinging, suspenseful, emotional - 5 stars). I just started The Snapper and Kluge The Haphazard Construction of the Human Mind. The Snapper is utterly hilarious so far :-)

Hi Teresa,
I read The Gargoyle and loved it. It was very different from anything else I've read; I got drawn into the characters and could not put it down. I was very curious to find out how it ended. I was also impressed with the amount of research the author must have done. Did you like it?

[Shona]

I'm reading A Fraction of the Whole and I have to say I'm really loving it!

[Lisa]

I read The Remains of the Day recently as well, but I found it extremely boring. I'm working on Grimm's Fairy Tales and The Red and the Black right now. Still waiting to get to the library to pick up a few more things to read.

I've read The Hours, it's one of my favorite books! The movie does it no justice.

[[deleted user]]

Just starting A is for Alibi. Can't believe I have never read this series!!

[Suzanne]

Hayes,
This is a great series. I live where it takes place and she is very true in description and 'ambience'(!)
You really become quite fond of Kinsey! I think Grafton gets better as the series grows!!!

Have great fun!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks... just at chapter 5 and I'm loving it already!! Now I'll have to read the next 25...

[Sherrie]

Just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I'm in the minority - I didn't love it. Now I'm on to an easy read, Gone for Good that I can finish this week so that I can start another next week for the Shelf-a-Thon Challenge!

[Kevis]

I'm currently reading 2012 Seeking Closure by Greg Banks. It's a gripping tale of what happens when the world learns that the Earth is going to be destroyed in 3 hours. How people decide to spend the final 3 hours of their lives makes for some intriguing fiction. Since this book has my full attention and won't let go, I expect that I'll have it done no later than tomorrow.

Beth,

I really liked it.I thought it was graphic-but I couldn't stop reading it.It was as you said very different from what I usually read

[Jennifer]

I just finished The Hours and I am struggling to figure out why so many people love this book. Yes, the writing is fantastic, but beyond that, I can find no reason to love this book. There must be something wrong with me. Anyway, must move on to something else. I'm off to browse my TBR shelves :)

Pumpernickel, The Potato Peel Pie book was one of our kinda recent group reads. When you are done, you should check out the group read discussions from it.

Lori wrote: "BJ Rose, the discussions never close, and people jump in on the group reads late sometimes just due to interest or current books or what have you. Never be afraid to peek in and stir up back up!"

Dorie wrote: "I finished "April & Oliver", which I liked but didn't love. I'm now ready for a lighter read, so I'm going to catch up with Stephanie and the gang in "Finger Lickin' Fifteen"."

Hey Dorie,

I am new to the group and am an Evanovich fan as well. Have you read The Spellman Files series by Lisa Lutz yet? Think Stephanie Plum, but funnier - and smarter. They are hilarious and all of my friends have thanked me for recommending it.

[Dorie]

Shona wrote: "I'm reading A Fraction of the Whole and I have to say I'm really loving it!"

Shona, I really loved that book, too. It's great, and you come to really care about the characters.

Jenn, I read the first one and liked it enough to get the next book. Unfortunately I haven't yet read it, but it is definitely on Mt. TBR!

[GracieKat]

I finished up Pride and Prejudice then I sat down for a day and read Two Hot Dogs with Everything which was okay and Twilight at Monticello which was okay, also. I've started Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but I'm having a hard time getting into it. I also started The Virgin Suicides which is grabbing my attention far more.

[Lauren]

I am reading The Thirteenth Tale! Can't put it down!

[Ana]

Yesterday I started "Vision in White", by Nora Roberts

[Jeane]

I am getting to the last third of Io uccido.(I kill in Englsih) and I am so glad they talked me into buying this one. I just love it!!!!

[Jennifer]

Just started My Sister's Keeper since it came up first on my library holds list.

[Ana]

Me too! I couldn't put down "The Thirteenth tale", until I had finished!Read it in two days (and because I had to study).

[Lauren]

Okay... so I just finished The Thirteenth Tale and I absolutely loved it! Had to go to the book store today and stock up. Alright I didn't have to but I did! And I found 7 books on my "books to buy" list and they were all on clearance! Go me!

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Finished Marie Antoinette The Journey last night and it was lovely.

I think the next one is a birthday gift I got early, yesterday - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - as my mother snaffed the other one, which was Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire.
