I just finished reading Hit List and would highly recommend it for any mystery/suspense reader. It kept me entertained from the first page to the last. This is the first book by this author that I've read but I'll be looking to read her others.

I'm not sure what book to pick up now. I'll have to look over my bookshelves and see what pops out at me.

[Liz]

Last night I finished Guyland and I need to start The Sun Also Rises soon.
I'm also still working on Lady Audley's Secret and The Last September.

Dara you poor thing! Get better and don't worry about the book. It's had a lot of hype and I thought it was a fun read, didn't make me hungry like I thought it would, though! I went through mono with my daughter when she was in high school, it must be so hard for you to be sick and have to take care of your child, too. I hope you both feel better very soon. Then you can worry about the book. It's always harder to concentrate on a book when you've got to cough your way through it. Take care.

The Broken Teaglass A Novel
Just started reading this book I won through LibraryThing. So far, it's a fun read . . . if you like lexicography (which I do).

[Angie]

I just finished South of Broad by Pat Conroy, and am starting The Lost Symbol By Dan Brown.

[Ann from S.C.]

PARANOIA was pretty good. Sorta like John Grishom. Now reading NIGHTEYES by Garfield Reeves-Stevens. Very ET like or close encounters.

[Lauren]

Got a little tired of The Stand so I am taking an hour or so to read Snakes and Earrings by Hitomi Kanehara!

[Keta]

Currently reading Covet by J.R. Ward and Enchantress Mine by Beatrice Small. Just finished with Dark Hunder by Rita Herron. And these books will keep me busy for a while.

Okay so The Stand is REALLY dragging for me and The Book Thief is burning a hole on my bookshelf... I may have to pick that one up before I finish The Stand!

[Lauren]

I am about halfway through the book.

[Jeane]

After a for sure more than half a year super push from Fiona I am reading her I Capture the Castle

Yay! That's brilliant Grain, I hope you enjoy it."

I've read so many good reviews about North and South. I'm very excited. ♥

I'm reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I'm almost halfway thru and am really enjoying it.

Also reading The Lightning Thief which is brilliant! Great trailer too, which I saw on the website for the film... who knows when that will make it here, probably next summer :-(

Finished Stiff The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, which I loved. And Ella Minnow Pea A Novel in Letters which I loved too.

It's been a good month for books for me :-)))))

Lori - I'm glad to know it's not just me. I actually haven't read anything else by Bradbury yet (I know - gasp!) and I'm bummed I started with this one. A couple of the other members of my group had started it and had the same feeling about it, so I think we're actually going to change our read for next month rather than force everybody to read something they're not really into. I think maybe this is just one of those pieces that played really well to the audience for which it was first written, but as time went by it became less relevant ... it certainly doesn't give off as much of a creepy vibe as I expected it to.

Cathy: If you are into that time period (and by the way I thought My Enemy's Cradle was an excellent read as well), you might try Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blume.

Whenever I see my unread copy of I Capture the Castle, Jeane, I feel the ghost of Fiona hovering over my shoulder chanting, "read, read, read."

Hope you had a better weekend Dara! Yes it does seem like when it rains it pours! Keep your chin up....
and No, sorry I haven't read Julie and Julia yet.

I've had this one on my TBR list for a while. Glad to hear you loved it!!

[Maha]

i am reading IT by Stephen King...and planning to read the lost symbol after that.....

[Rachel]

IT's one of my favorite books...

[Renata]

Started reading The Dead of Winter A John Madden Mystery by Rennie Airth this weekend, but not into it at all. Maybe too much WWII after watching The Reader on Saturday. I think will read After the Fire, a Still Small Voice by Evie Wyld instead and then unto the month's group read.

I finished Fire right after it came out. I wouldn't really call it a sequel. There is only one character that is present from Graceling and that character isn't a huge part of the story. I liked it as much as I liked Graceling, but it is very different. Both 5 star reads for me.

[Beth]

Just finished Jarrettsville...4 stars...have not read many (if any) Civil War Era stories and I ended up really enjoying this one! Now onto Chasing Windmills and Shop Class as Soulcraft An Inquiry Into the Value of Work.

I found "Dewey" to be depressing. Vicki shares more of her hurt life then about the cat. Then she goes into great detail about the cats sufferings. I really did not enjoy the book, "Dewey"

Stephanie, you could be right about the timing of it... Try Fahrenheit 451. It was by far my favorite from him, and one of my all time faves as well!!!

[Trish]

Well, I planned on taking this week off from reading, but somehow I am halfway through Catching Fire!

You totally made my night with news about a movie for The Lightning Thief! I just had to go and see who was cast as who, and now I'm really looking forward to seeing it when it comes out!

As for me, I'm reading The Game by Ken Dryden to feed my hockey obsession, and really enjoying it so far. I also just started Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I figured it was time it's been more than a month since I won my copy. So far, I'm really excited about it, even though I'm not that far in.

You could try Martian Chronicles too! I love that one.

Kathy, Shiver is high on my next to buy/read list. Let me know what you think! :)

I've just finished Stardust by Neil Gaiman and about to start Let the Right One In A Novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist.

[Laura]

I just began A Compass Error A Novel by Sybille Bedford and When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris, which I started over a year ago and never finished because of a heavy class load. I'm glad to get back into it. I think Sedaris is hysterical.

[Lauren]

Started A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers today!

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I just finished Misery and liked it. That Annie Wilkes is a SCARY, crazy dirty-birdie, isn't she?

Now I'm starting My Cousin Rachel.

[Maha]

i am reading IT by Stephen King and probably i will get hold of the lost symbol after that

Loved that book.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished the Alchemist which was ok but didn't really find it that interesting.

Have now started Chopper by Mark Brandon Read which i think i'm going to like so long as i don't think to hard about or try to visualise some of the actions mentioned in it (might give me nightmares).

I, also, loved that book. It kept me sane last winter during our horrible ice storm and its after effects.

[Brenda]

Finished early this morning The Bean Trees by Barbars Kingsolver and I really enjoyed the story. I am now reading Prayers For Sale by Sandra Dallas.

Brenda, be sure to check out Pigs in Heaven when you've got time. It's a continuation of Turtle's story.

[Ana]

I started this morning "Hidden Riches", by Nora Roberts

[Donna]

I am now reading The Average American Male

[Brenda]

Petra, Thanks for the heads up on Pigs in Heaven, I find this author hits and misses with me, so I might of skipped this book. Thank you and have a great day!

[Donna]

Pigs in Heaven was good but it still doesnt compare to Bean Trees!

Happy Reading!

[Brenda]

I flew through The Bean Trees and was a little let down when the book ended.

[Donna]

Yeah me too but I still enjoyed it as a whole

Catching Fire was awesome and a fast read. If you like The Hunger Games, you will love book 2.

[Tracy]

Mwah..ha...ha...ha! My son checked out The Last Olympianfrom the library last week because he was almost finished with The Battle of the Labyrinth but I got to it first! He'll have to wait!
