Jennifer, I hope it is your kind of book because I didn't like the writing style and the story was so-so. But ti becasue I am not really into that kind of writing. I finished the book last week.

I love madame bovary, I'm not sure if it was such a good thing or a bad thing I related to Emma so much. I really..."

That's funny, the next book I'm planning to read is about a man who relates to Emma too much ;)

[Claire]

Just finished The Boelyn Inheritance which was great. I'm now starting on Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. I can tell its going to be hard to put down.

[Jeane]

Saving faith by Baldacci and The alchemist by Coelho.

[Michelle♥]

I've been having trouble keeping focused on Marked. Possibly because I have a STACK of library books staring at me in the face, literally.

So I picked up Looking for Alaska by John Green. Hoping it'll be a quick read because it's so short. So far..just "meh."

[Maria]

still working on Rebel Angels. it's ok, i still haven't decided how much i like this Gemma Doyle trilogy.

i have a long weekend coming up, and i'll be busy, but hopefully i can squeeze some time in there to read a bit. i'm hoping to finish this one and move on to another book in my pile by Monday.

[KarenLee]

I just finished The Girls by Lori Lansens, an amazing 5 star book.

I am reading My Enemy's Cradle by Sara Young next.

Oh, I read Rebel Angels. It's pretty good though not amazing.

Also, I'm reading Grapes of Wrath right now. It's a little slow...

I never got to far into Anne Rice. I don't like that genre.

So glad you enjoyed The Girls, KarenLee. It is one of my favorites of all time.

[Writerlibrarian]

Finished The Name of a Bullfighter by Luis Sepúlveda which was pretty good. It was a reread for the atwi80 challenge.

I'm rereading Donna Leon's Brunetti series so I can put reviews in. It's been too long since I've read them. I'm up to Uniform Justice which is also pretty good. Leon rarely disappoint. This is gonna be my Italy book for the challenge.

The Outsiders is a fabulous book!! I was blown away with the story line and fell in love with Ponyboy and Johnnie.

Hi Lauren, I read The Parable of the Sower when I was on a dystopia reading kick. I really liked it and felt drawn into the story once she left the gated community. Have you read the new Margaret Atwood book The Year of the Flood?

I am hoping to get time to read this book this month. I have owned the book for two months now, but I have found it slips to the bottom of the TBR pile.

[Kate]

Stayed up all night to finish Shutter Island after I picked it up because I couldn't put it down.. sleep, who needs sleep anyway!

Thinking of starting My Enemy's Cradle next

I am about 100 pages into The Parable of The Sower and I am really liking it so far! I have not read The Year of The Flood but I will definitely have to check it out!

[KarenLee]

I know I said I was going to read My Enemy's Cradle next, but instead I started No Time to Wave Goodbye A Novel. Needed a kleenex by page 62.

[Alisha Marie]

I hope you love My Enemy's Cradle as much as I did, Kate.

I just finished it and loved it! Now I am reading IN THE TIME OF THE BUTTERFLIES by Julia Alvarez.

Just finished that one. It was great!

I just started on Crown Duel...really into it so far!

[Kate]

Thanks for the positive comments! I'm looking forward to it even more :) Hadn't seen much of it until people started mentioning it here, so good to hear some positive reviews!

[Tammy AZ]

Michelle♥ wrote: "What zombie books would you suggest for a zombie-virgin like me, Tammy?"

I Am Legend
World War Z
Cell

I haven't picked up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - too many "meh" reviews from this group :)

I loved that book also. I went into it with zero expectations and I feel it was one of the best books I've read.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I'm getting started on The Girl Who Played With Fire. I'm glad to be reading about Salander again, but sometimes the details drive me crazy. I do NOT need to know the exact name of each piece of furniture she bought from IKEA.

I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish "Shutter Island" also Kate. Very gripping!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Tammy, I Am Legend is not a zombie book.... it's a vamp book (and a very good one at that!)

I'm actually really enjoying because I worked a couple years with autistic children. So it really reminds me of my old kiddies.

[Jessie]

Not sure how I find the time to read, but I've been getting through more books lately than usual. After crying my way through Marley and Me, I took an emotional break with The Hunger Games. Both were great in their own ways. I just finished Same Kind of Different As Me and absolutely adored it...cried my way through that one too. Now I'm on It sucked and then I Cried, which is very funny and light....enjoying it so far.

I have a feeling I'll definitely need tissues, Susan! I love her writing style.

[Michelle♥]

Yeah I was going to say...I Am Legend was definitely a vampire book. But I will definitely look into Cell and World War Z.

[Paula]

I'm just getting started on "Backstage Murder" Shelley Freydont. It's a cozy.

[Cait]

I just finished Last Night in Twisted River A Novel by John Irving, who continues to amaze me. I gave this book 5 stars and off it went onto my favorites list. And is it wrong that I think Irving is... um, sexy??? I've decided that 2010 will be my "Year of Irving and Dickens".

Right now I'm reading The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, and will start The Cider House Rules by Irving tonight.

I like that! I may join you on it, Cait!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Cait, that is great news. I have LSiTR, and it will be my first Irving. (I have two others, but am looking forward to this one right now!)

[C.]

I've just started Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner and am about halfway through City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished The Colour of Heaven - James Runcie. Now I am gonna read Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins.

[Viki]

I am about halfway through Suite Francaise and am somewhat disappointed....it has gotten such good reviews on GR.....I wanted it to be a "could not put it down" book but instead I did put it down long enough to read Heart Shaped Box (very enjoyable).

I love Irving too, Cait. I love how involved I get in his stories. And a big HOORAY for The End of the Affair!

[Lashaun]

I am almost finished with Unwind by Neal Shusterman! This book is amazing...slightly creepy, and sick. I'm wowed. My friends who read it before me gave me a spoiler and I should have never let them do it! Now I'm hanging off the edge waiting for what they mentioned to happen! The suspense is killing me....

[Marci]

Reading Olive Kitteridge and listening to Her fearful Symmetry. Enjoying both

This was a great book! Definitely was a 5 stars for me! Glad to hear you are enjoying it!

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

Donna, I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by the shopping in TGWPWF! I hope there's not more in store.

[Brenda]

I am almost finished with In the Land of Second Chances by George Shaffner, I only read this for book club. I have started The Magican by Michael Scott, and I am loving this one.

[Laura]

Just finished Freddy and Fredericka by M. Helprin. Very funny & heartwarming. I quite enjoyed it! Next up, The Dante Club by M. Pearl. peace out! ;)

We do, and it is awesome. We meet once a month, and pot luck a dinner related to that month's book.
