I can't read the book yet but hope to see the movie this week...if they still show it!

I am new to this site and this group. I just have to say this could be a bad thing because now my "to read" list is growing by the minute. That makes me want to neglect my regular life duties, and that is not a good thing. This thread is a fun one, though. I am going to have to spend more time in it later to review what you all have said about what you are reading.

I am now reading Rebel Angels by Libba Bray. It's a fun, easy read. I work as a crossing guard, so this is a great book because I can read it while I'm waiting for kids to come.

[Holly]

A Rush Of Wings by Adrian Phoenix
&
Kiss And Tell by Cherry Adair

[Yvette]

I just started The Helpby Kathryn Stockett. It looks really interesting.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Hi Nikki, oh yea.... you will definitely add to your to read list!! Thats a given here :)

[Lisa]

I just finished Jinx by Jennifer Estep. It was entertaining. It's the 3rd of a series, but the 1st was definitely the best. It's about a world where there really are superheroes and ubervillians.

I LOVE Shantaram! One of my all-time faves. That is awful about your copy though.

I just started reading Freakonomics. Been wanting to read this for awhile.

[Mir]

Lisa, I absolutely agree that Karma Girl was Estep's best. I loved that one and was pretty disappointed in the sequels.

Tks. Anyone want to buy 3 kids and be my housekeeper so I can just read? But I guess I have to keep the jobs so I can buy books. My kids book orders are a dangerous thing for me. I tend to buy stuff I might like to read as well.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I swear that Temeraire series is like crack.

[Mosca]

I've just finished Ghostwritten by David Mitchell, which I really enjoyed. Here's a Review.

Now I'm reading another by David Mitchell - Black Swan Green A Novel.

[Vicki]

Brenda and Donna, I am excited to get into the Maisie Dobbs series, I like the mix of historical fiction with a detective story.

[Sherrie]

Just finishing Gone for Good tonight and in the middle of The Graveyard Book on audio and just got Shanghai Girls A Novel today from the library. I've had it on hold since it came out, so I'm excited to start it!!

[Ann from S.C.]

I finished THE GRAVEDIGGERS DAUGHTERS. Now I have started THE SHADOW OF THE WIND by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

[Vonney]

Ann, how did you like "The Gravedigger's Daughter"? I've had it on my TBR shelf forever. Keep finding
something else I absolutely must read now, so it
gets shoved to the back. Joyce Carol Oates has been
around for awhile. Don't know how many books she
has before this one.

I know it is a great read and even though it is quite a large book it flies by because it is so goo. I have found more pages missing too. 8 in total thus far!

[Shary]

Just finished Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris. Good book. I will definitely continue with the rest of the series. Next up: The Graveyard Book.

[Joy]

Eric wrote: "Just started "A Simple Plan" by Scott Smith. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out."

I loved A Simple Plan!! Best book I've read in awhile. It was a good movie too - the author wrote the screenplay.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I am halfway through The Graveyard Book. It is interesting, not sure what my thoughts are yet.

[JSou]

I started Odd Thomas the other day. I've never read any Dean Koontz before, but so far, I'm really liking this one.

[Anne]

Love the Maisie Dobbs series. They manage to be low key and immersing at the same time. The sense of period is brilliant.

I read that book two weeks ago and with me it was the same thing. Conclusions, only in the end. I liked it :-)

Can I get a whoot whoot for old Oddie??? I am happy to hear you like it! I was my first Koontz novel too. So far, nothing else Ive read from him comes close to the power of Odd!

[Carol]

Just finished Murder On K Street -Margaret Truman and The fat man book -Reginald Hill .It wasn't that great. Usually like british authors but not this one.Soooooooooooo now I have to chose a new one to start on. I haven't decided as yet.

[Petra]

I'm still continuing with Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell as my "at home" book. It's too heavy to lug back and forth to work.
I'm also reading Fallen, which is a fleshing out of the story of Cain & Abel. I'm really enjoying it.
And, finally, I'm listening to Eclipse on audio while commuting. Not the best of writing but entertaining, none the less.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Petra... You are reading Maine!! Awesome! I loved Fallen.. It was such a creative way to tell the story of Cain and Able, reverse chronology. So you knew how it ended before it ever started, and couldnt put it down until you've read every last page!

I ♥ Maine

[Emily]

I'm about halfway through The Optimist's Daughter A Novel by Eudora Welty, it is really drawing me in even through I have only been reading it for about an hour.

[Kevis]

I'm currently reading 2 books right now, Ravenshade A Tale of Alterra, The World that Is by C. S. Marks and Soul Identity by Dennis Batchelder. Both great reads by the way.

Kris wrote: "Finally getting around to the Crime and Thriller group's group read, Mistress of the Art of Death."

i really liked this one. hope you are enjoying it!

[Maria]

i finished The Skin Gods and wasn't too excited by it. not sure i can put a finger on the reason, though.

i started The Gargoyle. totally not what i was expecting, but so far so good.

[Carol]

Cold Mountain-Charles Frazier and Founding Mothers -Cokie Roberts. Moby Dick defeated me for this year. I will have to read it as I find the time. too many other books to read without having to torture myself.

[Maureen]

I finished The Glass Castle A Memoir last night. Although I found the writing compelling, I don't think I'm nearly as enthusiastic about it as a lot of other people seem to be. I found myself so infuriated with the author's parents that I had to put it aside at times.

I've read some reviews which indicated they thought the author was whining about her life. I must say that I felt the exact opposite - I got the impression that she was being too easy on her parents. I never got the sense that her parents (esp. her selfish, narcissistic mother) ever even apologized for doing everything in their power to ruin their children's lives, and I got the impression that the author was somehow okay with that. Perhaps she really had come to terms with everything and moved on, but I just couldn't.

So, now back to Lady Audley's Secret.

Vonney, It was a little slow, but I enjoyed it.

[Melody]

I'm about 80 pages in to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. So far so good.

[Liz]

I've been reading A Lost Lady by Willa Cather for my Jazz Age class. I'm roughly halfway through and need to finish it tonight.

[Stephanie]

Just finished The Time Traveler's Wife it was a little confusing in some parts but overall I loved it! Now I'm going to read Blood Promise.

[Ana]

Just started "Inkheart", by Cornelia Funke

[Lauren]

Reading Fathers and Sons and the Lazaras Project. Both a different but good.

[Katie]

I listened to this one on audio recently and really enjoyed it.

[Bridgit]

Just finished The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. It was a cute little YA book that I read in about 2 hours during commercials.

Started Trail of Crumbs Hunger, Love, and the Search for Home last night. So far I am really enjoying it. It has a few gourmet recipes mixed in that I am itching to try.

[Tracy]

I am reading The Daily Coyote Story of Love, Survival, and Trust In the Wilds of Wyoming and liking it so far. I thought the writer was some sort of naturalist or something. The fact that she isn't makes the book interesting. Sort of like city girl meets country coyote.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I finally finished The Three Musketeers. Not as awesome as The Count, but really good. Dumas can certainly weave a good revenge story, cant he?

Now I am moving on to A Canticle for Leibowitz.

[Michelle♥]

I just finished Night by Elie Wiesel. It was a good story. Of course it was disheartening to read everything that had happened, but so far I am captivated by the Holocaust. I am now reading Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay which is very enticing. Not very far into it, but so far it's good! :)

Lori, I just finished Fallen last night and really enjoyed it. This is the first of Maine's books that I've read but I'll be reading more in the future. I like how he puts the story together.

[Donna]

Gonna start The Girl Who Played with Fire this weekend!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Petra, so happy to hear you liked it. I have to recommend ALL his other books, they are all just so well written!!

[Brenda]

I really enjoyed Sarah's Key. I am thinking that early in 2010 I am going to have to re-read the book, I enjoyed the story that much.

[Donna]

I just brought Sarah's Key!

[Paula]

I'm just getting going in "Yes, My Darling Daughter" Margaret Leroy. It's a very different type book for me although it has the feel of a gothic tale so far. I'm anxious to have time to really get into this story.

[Beth]

Finished reading Three Bags Full and gave it 4 stars. This author gets kudos for being creative and original...have not read a book like this one before. Who knew sheeps' thoughts and personalities could be so clever, humorous, and endearing! BAAAAAA-RAVO! For the long weekend, I am reading Darling Jim A Novel and Labor Day .
