I loved this book Leah. Berendt is such a good writer. His details of Savannah made me want to visit one day.

[Lena]

[Mel]

Finished the two related Margaret Atwood's which I loved:

Oryx and Crake
The Year of the Flood

And a really funny Mil Millington:

Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About A Novel

The general plot was a little thin but the scenes with his girlfriend were laugh out loud funny.

I really liked the first two - they were audio reads for me. It's been a while, but I remember that I really enjoyed them when I listened to them. I think it will be great for you to read them all three together. They're quick reads too, as Koontz usually is. For me though, nothing has topped Odd Thomas :)

Leah, I loved this book. Hope you enjoy it. Hey, I see you're from Colorado. Me too. We still have snow in the backyard but today was a shorts and t-shirt day. Love this state!!! Enjoy the book. It's a tickler.

Nickie, I thought that book was so beautiful. Even the hard parts about the foot-binding was in a different way beautiful.

hehehe thats how I felt about the Twilight books! I figured everyone and their sister had read those books before I did! LOL

[Susan]

I'm reading American Salvage by Bonnie Jo Campbell. It's a collection of stories and was nominated for the National Book Award. The first story was terrific. The rest are good but so sad.

[Jen]

I'm reading Grave Secrets by Charlaine Harris and Bite Marks by Jennifer Rardin - I think that's the one. :)

[Trish]

Yesterday I read Twenties Girl A Novel
a cute read. Now, I don't know what.. there is too many to choose. I might send my 4 year old in and surprise me :)

[Flora]

I just finished The Hungry Ghosts. That was a wonderfully sad, tragic, awesome read. Currently I am reading Gullivers Travels, almost done. And am starting the Bell Jar.

I do the same thing with my girls...sometimes I just cant choose what to read next so I let them pick for me!

[Maicie]

Finished Olive Kitteridge A Novel in Stories. Loved it.
Started Look Again.

[Stefanie]

I am reading Dead Until Dark.

I love this series, a friend of mine picked it up and ended up buying the series and I borrowed them from her as she finished them. I absolutely love the characters and their relationships.

[stylish_girl]

Finally finished Lauren Weisberger "Chasing Harry Winston" really wanted to like this book, but failed.(

[[deleted user]]

I finished The Hunger Games (****) and moved on to Madame Bovary.

[Michelle♥]

Finished The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. What a classic! :) Kicking myself (yet again!) for waiting so long to read another great book!

On to...Heartbeat by Sharon Creech

Trying to get all my library books read and sent back before Monday...

Yeah, I know I will once read them but earliest next year or later. It took me a couple of years too ebfore I even read the first Harry Potter. I have still only read the four of those!

[Stephanie]

Just started Rapture of the Deep Being an Account of the Further Adventures of Jacky Faber, Soldier, Sailor, Mermaid, Spy, I absolutely love this series!!

[Liz]

Eclipse has been calling to me and I was in a bad mood last night so I decided to start it.

[Carol]

Lolita and The Original Laura
by Vladimir Nabokov,just ordered these from Amazon.

The Original Laura was just Published. It was the last book he wrote. It has been in the news .

[Lindz]

I really liked Lolita, though I felt I had to hide the cover on the tram while I was reading. It is a book that you can get many things out of, little nuances. Humbert Humbert is a fantastic evil dark character , who will at one time play the victim then next trying to be the hero then some times with a acceptance of what he really is. All with a wit that will bring a guilty smile to your face :).

[Nikhaule]

I am currently reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer. And next I want to read Because I am Funiture by Talia Chaltas. Anyone have any book recommendations?

[Carol]

Go to Amazon and read review for The Original Laura, you will probably like it also. It sounds very good.

[Amanda]

Moving onto The Luxe, which I thought would be pretty eh, but is actually really intriguing and surprisingly easy to relate to.

[Heather]

[image error]

Recently read and found very entertaining.



Just started this guilty pleasure. Great fresh science fiction. Stayed up till wee hours of the night with this.

I have read that and loved it. At first I only read it because of my teacher but it's interesting and it kept my attention.

[Jayme]

Finished Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman and am on to Persepolis 1 The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi, which will be followed by Persepolis 2 The Story of a Return. It's a graphic novel weekend.

I was forced into reading Madame Bovary in college. That was agonizing, so be afeared.

[Michelle♥]

I finished Heartbeat and it did keep my interest; very different prose from what I'm used to, but a quick read.

Of course, when I told myself that I would stop reading all my YA books from the library and try and switch it up, I'm gravitated towards more vampire tales.

Now I'm onto Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. I've heard that the House of Night books are very addicting and I can see why! This is going to be good I can already sense it.

So much for not reading more YA....

[Carol]

I just can't get pumped up about all the vampire books. Must be my age.

[Marti]

I moved on to High Country Fall by Margaret Maron.

[Michelle♥]

You know it's funny...I have never had a desire to read or watch movies for that matter that had ANYTHING to do with vampires. It just seemed tacky.

But ever since I read Twilight...my perspection changed. I would not that I have been obsessed (well maybe just with those books...) with the whole vampire gaga.

This will be my first series outside of Twilight that has to deal with vampires. I have the Sookie Stackhouse series (still in mint condition with the plastic seal covering all 8 books in the series) TBR. I think I wanted to wait til after I saw New Moon in theaters before I continued with any vampire books.

Well whoops on my part for starting another addicting vampire series. I'm not more than 50 pages into House of Night #1 and I'm already hooked.

I don't care for vampire books or movies but I love everything zombie - go figure.

[Michelle♥]

What zombie books would you suggest for a zombie-virgin like me, Tammy?

Michelle, The Outsiders is one of my all-time fave books. It's one of the first books I can remember that really affected me emotionally - bawled like a baby through about the last third. :-)

[Heather L]

Jeane - I came late to the Harry Potter series, too -- have only read the first three so far. Maybe I'll actually get through the rest before the last movie comes out. lol

Carol - I've never been big on vampires, either (ignored the whole Buffy craze a few years back), but last summer I read a novella by MaryJanice Davidson and was instantly hooked on her "Queen Betsy" series (starts with Undead and Unwed), then this year got hooked on the Sookie Stackhouse series.

Which brings me to my current read. Finished I Scream, You Scream A Mystery À La Mode by Wendy Lyn Watson (loved it!) and am now starting A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris.

Maureen,

I completely agree! I was crying too at the last third of it! I still can't get over my shell-shock of S.E. Hinton writing it at JUST 16 years old!

[Lauren]

Just finished The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom! Starting Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler! I am really excited to start this one! Has anyone read it? I would be interested in hearing what you thought!

[Maicie]

Just finished Look Again. Way too predictable. I should probably wait until morning to write my review on GR's until I've calmed down.

Started The Boy Next Door A Novel by Irene Sabatini. I haven't heard anything about this one. Picked it up at the library because, GASP, I liked the book jacket.

I've read the 1st and 2nd, and they were fantastic! Can't wait toget the 3rd!

[Alisha Marie]

I finished My Enemy's Cradle by Sara Young and loved it. Now I'm going to pick up The Portable Dorthy Parker.

[Kate]

Good to see a positive review for My Enemy's Cradle. I have that waiting for me in my latest library pile. :)

That's very good of you, as waiting until one calms down is the hardest part! I like to write my reviews right away, and when I go back to look at them later, I agree with myself (phew) but sometimes realize I left a few things out.

[Michelle♥]

So I needed a quick break from my vampire obsession, and I picked a book from my library pile that would be relatively short...

OMGosh! If you have NOT read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, you are missing out on the best YA novel! (It's a great book for adults too!)

I am so glad that I picked up this book! I was crying, guffawing, crying because I was laughing out loud, and I did not want it to end! Add it to your TBR piles and you will enjoy it as much as I did! GUARANTEED!

Now back to Marked....
