I hope you enjoy it. I loved it!

[Wendy]

Thanks Vicki I'll check it out.

[Wendy]

Vicki, who's the author of Sarah's Key?

[Michelle♥]

Wendy:
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

I liked the book up until the middle. I did not see the turn that she was going towards. Oh well. Now I do not know what to read.

Anyone have any suggestions? I want something that captivates me! Something I just canNOT for the life of me put down because I want to see how it ends.

I'm not picky on genre or author. Just something really good.

I enjoyed the Graveyard book, how do you like it?

[A.]

Just finished Blue Bloods and didn't like it. Started Forest of Hnds and Teeth and like it so far.

[Susanna]

Re-reading Stephen King's Cell.

Stephanie I read Time Traveler's Wife a few weeks ago and realized right off that if I hadn't seen the movie preview and known ahead of time that it is about him jumping around in time, not written in just her chronology,it would have been much more confusing to me too. I loved the story, but you definitely had to pay attention to what was going on, it wasn't a light read by any stretch. But I did love it nontheless. Dara

I almost done with the book I won in the GR Giveaways. Weekends at Bellevue, by Julie Holland, MD, is a pre-release book, an autobiography about the nine years that this psychiatrist worked in Bellevue Hospital, NYC as the weekend attending physician in the psych ER. For some reason going into the book I had the notion that it was more about the hospital and the unusual stories of the patients seeking psych treatment, but what I found was more a story of this particular doctor. I am not at all disappointed, don't get me wrong, just somehow had a different preconceived idea of what it would be. I am really enjoying it. Dr. Holland describes her own journey, how she grew and the problems she personally faced while learning to traverse the delicate human psyche, including her own.

Well there are so many. I suggest The Rice Mother by Rani Manicka or Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum

Michelle wrote: "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..."

Michelle: Sarah's Key is an excellent novel. If you haven't already read Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum or My Enemy's Cradle by Sara Young or Skeleton's at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian, I would also recommend these for interesting perspectives.

[Dan]

Finished God Laughs and Plays by David James Duncan last night and had to have more of his essays so I started My Life as Told by Water. Also started The Road by Cormac McCarthy last night and I've been working on The Unknown American Revolution by Gary B. Nash and Parallel Universes by Fred Alan Wolf for a while.

Michelle - I couldn't put Girl With the Dragon Tattoo down.

[Michelle♥]

Thanks all for the recommendations! :)
I am going to a booksale this weekend and will definitely seek out those titles and authors!

Linda: I never meant to offend you by saying that I did not like the turn that was taken during Sarah's Key. I did enjoy the novel, but the turn was so unanticipated and unexpected. Please don't take it to heart or take it offensively! :)

[Julie]

The Lace Reader - just started.

[alicia]

I just finished Life Without Summer by Lynne Griffin.It was a wonderful book of a mothers tragedy of losing her 4 yr old daughter in a hit and run accident outside her preschool.She ends up seaking a grief couselor who has to overcome a trgedy of her own. Now i'm reading The Household Guide to Dying and Disconnection. Hopefully those will go quickly as well because i can't wait to get to The Vampire Academy and Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine I love her mORGAVILLE vAMPIRE SERIES.

[Claire]

I'm at the moment doing a full series re-read of Harry Potter. At the moment I'm reading the Half Blood Prince and really enjoying it!!

After that I need to start making a dent into my to be read pile.

I read it a few weeks ago and liked it. Surprising.

[Suzanne]

Amazon tells me that 'The Lace Reader' is out of print ... where did you ladies find yours?

Susanna, do you have 'The Girl That Played With Fire' ?? That is even more crazy-good than '...Dragon Tattoo' !!!
I'm excited to hear what you think of it!

Alicia, Have you read the 'Sookie Stackhouse' series? Do you feel that 'The Vampire Academy' is along the same lines as those are? (Awkward way to ask you if you feel if they are as well written!!!)
I heard on 'E' channel that there is a 'Vampire Academy' series starting next week on T.V.

:D

How about something by Phillipia Gregory --- The Other Boelyn Girl or Wideacre - those are hard to put down.

[Claire]

I just finished The Time Traveler's Wife and really liked it. I thought it was a little slow in different areas, but overall, it was a great read. I'm starting The Help next. I've heard lots of good things about this book, so can't wait to dive in.

You might like the Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray. The first book is called The Great and Terrible Beauty.

Also I really enjoyed City of Bones and City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. I haven't read the third book yet.

[Marti]

I just finished reading Cleopatra's Daughter, a first reads by Michelle Moran. I enjoyed the story very much and realized part way through that the main character did actually live and the author did a lot of research to make the story contain realistic elements for the time period.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Suzanne wrote: "Amazon tells me that 'The Lace Reader' is out of print ... where did you ladies find yours?

I was just at Borders yesterday and they had a whole bunch of The Lace Reader in trade paperback.

[Brenda]

Last Night in Twisted River: A Novel by John Irving is a slow start but i plan to keep reading it because it is an interesting story. The copy I have is an "Advance Reader."

[Ann from S.C.]

I put down THE SHADOW OF THE WIND for right now because the library called and RELENTLESS by Dean Koontz came in and I started it and it is good!!! so far!

[Unbridled]

I'm currently reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, Living to Tell the Tale by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Real Food for Mother and Baby by Nina Plank. I also have three manuscripts waiting to be read (I work in publishing) that I'm really excited about, but I have too much going on right now.

[Carol]

I just finished Founding Mothers-Cokie Roberts. I loved it. It is gossipy and chatty ,telling about the women behind the men during the Revolutionary War.You will find it entertaining as well as informative. I am on to Cold Mountain next. I think after that I will read Presumed Innocent-Scott Turow.

Thanks for mentioning Founding Mothers, Carol! I've been thinking of ordering it for my mom. I've only heard good things about it...

Suzanne: I just saw The Lace Reader at B&N in paper form. That's seems odd. Do you have a secondhand book store near you? Perhaps they have it.

[Avigail]

well I read a couple I read the following:
1. The Name of the Rose including Postscript to the Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, I read it in greek that is called:Το Όνομα του Ρόδου.
2. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, for a mounth read of another group in GR.
3. The Septembers of Shiraz by Dalia Sofer.
4. The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards, for the fall challange.

[Lynne]

I too saw Lace Reader at Borders

[Tammy AZ]

I'm reading Shadow of the Wind and listening to Child 44. I'm loving both of them and have been adding to my jogging time just to keep listening.

[LaTrica]

I'm re-reading Daggerspell. It's been about a decade since I read it so much of it seems new.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I have not read Girl Who Played With Fire yet, but hope to sometime soon.

[Beth Ann]

I just started The Queenmaker by India Edghill. I think it'll be pretty good.

I've been gone for a few months, it's been crazy crazy crazy here. Got a few other books done since then. Just finished Empire Falls by Richard Ruoso, anyone read that? Not sure if I really cared for it much, I'm on the fence.

I won this book too but haven't had a chance to read it yet. It's the first book I've won in a giveaway and it was fun to get a pre-released book. Glad to hear you liked it!

[Andrew]

I had to take a hiatus from reading as much as I would have liked these last couple of months due to un frseen circumstances but I'm back on track and just finished Grapes of Wrath...which was long and boring. But I'm currently read Me:Stories of my Life by Katherine Hepburn and loving it.

[Andrew]

Fiona! It has it has, but I'm glad to be back!

[Carol]

Oh ,I thought it was one of his better books. The only one I did not care for was The Winter Of Our Discontent. And welcome back.

[Andrew]

Really? I loved Of Mice and Men, and was kind of hoping for something more similar to that I guess. Or maybe I just had to over anaylize everything, but I found it dry and tedious...tis all.

[Kathy]

Just ready to start "The Granny" by Brendan O'Carroll. Looks like it has over 4 star rating, so it should be good. Ive had it on my bookshelf for some time, so I guess its time to read it!

[Carol]

Andrew wrote: "Really? I loved Of Mice and Men, and was kind of hoping for something more similar to that I guess. Or maybe I just had to over anaylize everything, but I found it dry and tedious...tis all."

Well yes I must admit Of Mice And Men was exceptional.
Did you try Tortilla Flats?

[Juniper]

Hello!

is what I am reading right now. It is written by Canadian author Joan Barfoot. I am about halfway through and finding it very compelling - the kind of book you have to take a pause from every now and then to digest and think about what you have read. I am hopeful the strength of story and writing are sustained for the second half of the novel.

This book was on the shortlist of nominees for The Giller Prize in 2005. http://www.scotiabankgillerprize.ca/ The Giller is the richest literary prize for fiction awarded in Canada each year. The 2009 long list is being announced on September 21st and I can't wait to see which books make it this year.

[Andrew]

Carol...Totilla Flats is on my list, as in Canary Row, but I haven't actually read them yet. But I defnitly want to.

[Carol]

They both are really good. John Steinbeck is one of my favorite authors. Let me know what you think of them when you get around to reading them.
