Finished Time Travelers Wife. Loved it! Fantastic story. Can't wait to watch the movie. Next up: When Day Breaks - Mary Jane Clark

[Lianne]

I've been reading Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives and Daughters (very intriguing and entertaining; it's becoming a fast favourite =)) and finishing up Alan Schreck's The Compact History of the Catholic Church =)

[Dust Jacket]

I am reading Life of Pi

[Jenna]

Started The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon and am really liking it so far. I love that it is told from the point of view of an autistic child.

[Ann from S.C.]

I am still reading ECLIPSE, but I jsut finished a quick read, THE YUMMY MUMMY by Polly Williams. It reminded me of Marian Keys.

[Kristin]

Jenna, I LOVED Curious Incident, I thought it was excellent.

i heard that its rly good... whats it about... is it worth reading? :)

[Donna]

I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, what a lovely book, and now I am on to Mistress of the Art of Death. A very good mystery and an interesting look at Cambridge during the reign of Henry II.

[Liz]

I am reading "Twenties Girl" by Sophie Kinsella and I am listening to "More Than It Hurts You" by ?? oops!! I don't pay good attention to authors!

[Jenna]

Kristin and Claire,
I just finished Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and absolutely loved it. Loved the perspective and the way it was written. Claire I hope you like it when you read it!

That's a very good book. I just started Peony in Love last night. I'm also reading Drowning Ruth and I'm not very impressed with it.

Are you enjoying it? I thought it was a more grown-up Kinsella but just as enjoyable!

[Susanna]

The Unknown Soldier by Väinö Linna

[Beth]

I am now done reading The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox (3 stars). Loved the idea of the story but found it a bit confusing to follow. Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading Finding and Losing Myself in Books was very engaging in some parts yet dry in others. I can now say I completely understand why avid readers always have a STACK of books to read, "so as not to address the void after the last page...". Dishwasher One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States was also a 3 star. I just started Olive Kitteridge because I have seen it mentioned in many reader's reviews and lists.

Jo, I read this in HS, required reading.... and appreciated it so much more when I reread it as an adult. Holden will always hold a small disgruntled place in my heart ♥

Hello mate,

you could always try reading my book Black Shoes. I am a new author after all, so you definately haven't read anything by me yet!!

[Pollopicu]

-The count of Monte Cristo (just a few chapters away from being finished)

-Rescuing Da Vinci- about how the Nazi's stole European works of art during WWI-(halfway through)

-Secret garden (halfway through)

[Carol]

Trying to get up enough energy to read Moby Dick. I want to read The 19th Wife. Has anyone read it, and if so was it interesting?

[Orion]

I'm reading The Drowned Life by Jeffrey Ford. I actively seek out Twilight Zone type stories (Stephen King and Richard Matheson are great examples) and I was elated when I picked this book up and saw it was full of stories with supernatural twists.

[Wen]

Well am new here but figured this was a good place to jump right in here.
I typically read several books at a time and right now am working on:
The Dark Queen by Susan Carroll (liking this one, good story and humorous parts)
Knight Errant by R Garia Y Robertson (this is a time travel and good so far)
Life Mask by Emma Donaghue (having trouble getting into)
The Proposal by Lori Wick (first of a series and good so far)
Edward VI by Chris Skidmore (historical account of Edwards VIs life and short reign)

[Kathy]

Well, I finished the Reader the other day and just now finished Blessed Child by Ted Dekker...I like them both a LOT. I dont have the Time Traveler's Wife, so onward and whatwart. Must now pick something new from my "to Read" shelve...oh what will it be??

[GracieKat]

I finished Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz. If I have to read that again I'm going to drown myself. To get the horrible words out of my mind I started reading My Favorite Horror Story. So far my favorite is still Sweets to the Sweet by Robert Bloch. Excellent ending and it will make the dark cobwebby part of your heart cheer.

[Jennifer]

I'm reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Girls in Pants.

I have not read The 19th Wife yet but a few of my friends have and they really liked it.

[Kathy]

Started the Knitting Circle today!

[Carol]

Hummm Edward VI sounds interesting,but not to get sidetracked, thanks for the info Stephanie.

[Ana]

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón - few more pages left to go. Very good book.

[Maria]

i finished Eclipse last night, i liked it MUCH better than New Moon. bella wasn't nearly as whiney in this one.

not sure what i'll start next, probably I See You Everywhere which is the next book for my library group.

Jeffery Ford's work is extremely well respected, in the genre. I hope you enjoy it.

I keep trying to get this title at the library - always checked out. I'm determined - eventually I'll lay hands on this book! It sounds wonderful.

Hi Michael,
I tried to look up a synopsis of your book
Black Shoes but could not find one. What is the story about?

[Claire]

The Jane Austen Book Club A Novel - Karen Joy Fowler

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Really enjoying The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I was reading it in bed, and looked up and somehow it was 2 AM already.

Claire, how are you finding this book? i read it last spring, and really wasn't too impressed, i felt like i was missing something vital in the story. eventually i realized it wasn't me, it was the story. just wondered if i was the only one who felt that way.

I hated-hated Moby Dick. Hope it's better for you...

[Kate]

Just finished Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton - eh, ok i guess...
About to start The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom....

[Assirahc]

I just finished reading "Unwind" by Neal Shusterman and I'd have to say that it was the best book that I have read all summer. It's a page turner. Here is the opening of the book...it's what made me want to read it straight away.

The Bill of Life
The Second Civil War, also known as "The Heartland War," was a long and bloody
conflict fought over a single issue.
To end the war, a set of constitutional amendments known as "The Bill of Life"
was passed.
It satisfied both the Pro-life and the Pro-choice armies.
The Bill of Life states that human life may not be touched
from the moment of conception until a child reaches
the age of thirteen.
However, between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, a parent may choose to
retroactively "abort" a child . . .
... on the condition that the child's life doesn't "technically" end.
The process by which a child is both terminated and yet kept alive is called
"unwinding."
Unwinding is now a common, and accepted practice in society.

I read it last year and thought it was sweet. Didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. Enjoyable...

[Fran]

Sorry but I haven't figured out how to quote but I LOVED the 19th wife!

[Gayle]

I am reading Pillars of the Earth and loving it. I was intimidated by the size but is reading very fast!

[Carol]

I read Pillars of the Earth in it's first printing many years ago. I remembered how much I enjoyed it, so I re-read it this past May. It is a book to keep and return to over the years. There are not many I will do that with.

Thanks, Jenna. I went out yesterday and bought The Time Traveler's Wife, so I may read that next before I see the movie - I can't wait to read The Courious Incident though - I'm glad you liked it.
