Finished The Ten-Year Nap. I didn't get into the book until after the first 150 pages then finished reading it in one setting. Really liked it.

Just started .Olive Kitteridge A Novel in Stories

[Rachel]

finished Eyes of the Dragon. Starting We Think, Therefore We Are, a collection of short stories about artificial intelligence. It was on of four collections I won last March for the Love Your Indie contest on Joe Hill's website. I wanted to read some short stories so I can put it down when Under The Dome by Stephen King comes out on Tuesday.

I can see how curious incident would just stop for people. I have been meaning to read castle for ages and ages..... :)

[Emily]

Fiona, I just won Sea of Poppies on here. I can't wait to start it!

[Beth]

Finished reading The Double Bind and gave it 3 stars. Presently, I am very drawn in to Her Fearful Symmetry A Novel.

[Lindz]

Reading The Given Day, by Lehane. Very good story, time period of Boston 1919 is hard to resist. The characters are a little stock like, but the story, grime smoke, dirty alley ways make up for that. Lehane makes me want to be a socialist. Though I often have the same reaction with Orwell.

This is one of those books you can see as a great movie, but doesn't read like one, which I am loooovvvvviiiiiingggggggg.

[Emily]

Yeah I love the GR giveaway thing, there are a lot of good books on it, stuff I normally wouldn't pick up. Gotta love free books!

[Michelle♥]

Just finished The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong. It was a good YA novel.

Up next...Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Oh man, this sounds like a good one! :)

[Maria]

i'm more than halfway through The Lace Reader and just found out my book group has to reschedule our meeting about it due to the flu. oh well, i'm really liking the story.

Theresa, I had the same feeling. I read the bok years ago, not remembering for what reason. When I started it I was sceptical because i thought it would be an over dramatic, emotional, weak book. But like you I was absorbed more and more about the book and I really liked it a lot. Recently I read The house of the spirits. Was also with this one very sceptical but I loved it! I guess i should read more by Allende!

Do you think you will read it soon?

[Jeane]

Yesterday evening I pushed myself through The curious incident of the dog in the night and well not it was jsut not for me. The end was a bit better, with the letters, London and the coming back and so...but no.

[Robyn333]

[Nikki]

I am reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan for a local book group. I only have about 100 pages to go. This is different than my normal reads, but I am really enjoying it. I like to learn about different cultures. It makes me grateful for the life I live and the time I live it in.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Dang Jessica, you are flying through books lately! I am gald you liked Eating Animals. I am only still in the very beginning.. where he talks about the fish... I am so scared he is going to warp my head...

[Michelle♥]

I just finished Unwind by Neal Shusterman. This book was AMAZING! If you like dystopian novels, I would strongly suggest this one!

Very interesting topics brought up, but it's an easy and FUN read.

Next up, The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong. I can't wait to see what happens in this series! :)

Also going to read Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. I have never read it and want to see what the hype is all about.

[Hannah]

I am almost done with the fourth and final book in the Luxe series, Splendor, by Anna Godbersen. The series is actually geared towards teens but I am a bit older than the intended age group. But who cares, right? I am not ready for the series to be over. I do not want to finish Splendor because then I would lose the Luxe books as my companions.

If you like historical fiction and want a fast, easy read, check it out.

[Lauren]

Just finished re-reading Go Ask Alice by Anonymous! Trying to decide what to read next!

[Lauren]

Reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom!

[Arun]

Currently with Jonathan Stroud's Ptolemy's Gate...

[Emily]

Jessica, Nine Stories! I love that book.

[Petra]

I just finished Fast Food Nation last night and really enjoyed it. It starts out with a history of the Fast Food Chains, moves on to the process with the animals, including an eye-opening account of meat packing, then onto how the restaurants are run and how the employees are treated, then the global expansion of fast food and then onto health issues and how things could possibly be changed or looked at differently. Lots of facts and names but very interesting.
I started The Last Chinese Chef this morning and it started really well. I think I'm going to enjoy this one a lot.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Finished The Girl Who Played with Fire yesterday - very good read it was, too.

[Gorana]

Right now I'm reading Minaret A Novel by Leila Aboulela and listening to Shiver.

[Susan]

I'm still trying to get through The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

[Sherrie]

I just finished Her Fearful Symmetry, which I gave 5 stars. I really enjoyed it!
I also just finished The Angel's Game on audio. I liked it, but it was kind of confusing at times!

Now, I'm onto Dead and Alive and going to listen to Rasputin's Daughter. I started listening to Dismantled A Novel which seems promising, but have to put it on hold so I can work on the Fall Reading Challenge tasks.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Sherrie, I just bought Dead and Alive at my library sale today. I have all three for the series now, but havent read them yet. How are they?
