I am reading Enchantments by Linda Ferri but I can't wait to jump into The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson.

[Mary]

I finished Housewrights. Inspired by all of the buzz on this board I am now reading My Enemy's Cradle.

Stephanie, I think I've had Midwives on my shelf for quite a long time too - I'm really trying to get alot of my books, that I've had a long time, read. I'm enjoying it so far but I'm not too far in yet.

[Writerlibrarian]

I'm starting on Sharpe's Gold by Bernard Cornwell my Portugal book for the ATWi80 challenge. My second Sharpe novel.

[Linda]

I am currently reading "The Time Travelers Wife" and so far it's ok, not great, but I hear it starts slow and then WOW, can't wait. I just finished "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova, I can't say enough about this touching book, loved it!. Also just finished "A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian" by Marina Lewycka, very entertaining and witty, I definitely recommend if you are looking for something a little offbeat.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished reading Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins and now deciding to read Housewife In Love - Alison Penton Harper

I really enjoyed City of Thieves. I particularly liked the author's portrayal of friendship and bonding, very touching.

I loved The Girl Who Played With Fire, also loved The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I am looking forward to the final book in this trilogy.

I'm trying to do the same, because I always end up pushing the new books to the top of the pile and my old ones get neglected. :)

I thought this was one of his best books, loved it. I read a few of his others and they were good but for me not as enjoyable as this one.

[Jenna]

Just started Lamb by Christopher Moore. Not too far into it, but I already like it. Very funny.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Tammie, check out the recommendations folder, I am sure we had a couple of topics pop up in there.....

[Kate]

I finished My Enemy's Cradle last night. It wasn't bad, but a bit too much focus on the love and romance feelings for me.
There were times where I wanted to dive in the book, shake the main character by the shoulders and scream "Come on, You're in the MIDDLE OF A WAR"...


Now I've started A Tale of Two Cities, I really need to get moving on my classics.. Enjoying it so far.

[Angie]

I'm reading False Memory by Dean Koontz

[Maria]

i finished Rebel Angels last night. it was OK, not something i'm overly enthusiastic about. i'll read the 3rd one just so that i know how it all ends.

not sure what i'll be picking up next, i've got a busy couple of days in front of me, so we'll see what monday brings.

[Lisa]

I'm reading Savage Detectives by Belano (wouldn't recommend it) and The Book Thief - only halfway through and it's great! Five stars for that one.

[Susan]

I am reading The Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber.

[Michelle♥]

I finished Marked it was just ok for me.

Now I'm onto The Prophecy of the Sisters. Only about 200 pages into it and I LOVE this book. I can already tell it's going to be a five star read for me. Very original idea and very addicting.

[Teneisha]

Currently reading Little Earthquakes and I can't seem to get through it. Seems quite a struggle to finish.(wouldn't recommend it)

I hate having to stop a book without completing it cause then I can't say I've read it. But I guess I'll have to see.

If not then I'm onto Finding your Mojo.

[Linda]

I just finished The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani. I really enjoyed it. I believe this was her debut novel. It also was shortlisted for the Orange Prize in 2008.

[Carol]

I am starting The tenant Of Wildfell Hall-Anne Bronte.

Bhuni, Grapes of wrath is maybe a bit slow and can be heavy, but it is a really good book. Hope you will like it.

It is true, Donna Leon never dissapoints!

Even the weakest Donna Leon is better than most mystery novels in my book. I'm done with rereading the old ones up to Doctored Evidence. I can jump ahead to
Suffer the Little Children.

[Abhishek]

Reading Wodehouse's Summer Lightning a delightful book so far

[Susanna]

I'm halfway through Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald. Please tell me it picks up soon, it's really dragging for me right now.

[Marti]

I am starting Comfort Food today. So far so good.

Stephanie, Linda and Claire, Love Chris Bohjalian! Midwives and The Double Bind are my favorites.

[Susan]

I'm reading The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

[Amber]

I am reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. It is extremely compelling...my boyfriend loved it too.

[Maureen]

I've recently started Breaking Dawn and Friends, Lovers, Chocolate - pretty much enjoying them both so far.

[ilona]

I started The Lemon Table by Julian Barnes, so far so good.

[Kate]

Fire by Kristen Cashore has to go back to the library, so started reading that last night and am almost half way through. I'm enjoying it and I actually think I prefer it to Graceling.

[Michelle♥]

I finished Prophecy of the Sisters. VERY GOOD! Can't wait for the next installment of that one!

I also finished The Time Machine. I am a fan of H.G. Wells, so of course I liked that book! :) It will haunt my thoughts for awhile, but still it was goooood.

Next, to conquer more of my Top 10 TBR list, I think I will start Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth. Can't wait to dive right into it! :)

[Daniela]

I'm reading Tales Of H.P Lovecraft selected and edited by Joyce Carol Oates and skimming through Leonardo's Notebooks by Leonardo Da Vinci

[Lauren]

Just finished The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury! Starting Chill Factor by Sandra Brown!

I think the last time I read a Leon book it was the one you are reading now. Very good story!!! I like reading her stories and read about places in Venice or Italy where I ahve been too, because it is almost like I am walking there with the characters.

[Mary]

Gave up on Hollister House Legend of the Banyan Tree because my copy of Under the Dome A Novel arrived and I just couldn't resist. LOVING it so far but it's a humongous book so it's hard to read in bed.

Daniela, do you have a link to the book about Leonardo's notebooks?

[Trish]

I am reading Dead to the World.

Kate,
you now have me very excited to read Fire!

[Jayme]

Finished A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. LeGuin. Now onto Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. I'm thinking it's a mistake to start an unfinished series again...what if she never finishes them? I hate it when that happens!

[Lindz]

Yeah Look at Robert Jordan.

I have just started Women in White. Has a crazy little Italian man. So far so good.

[Esther]

I reading Penelope Lively's Consequences.

I loved Penelope Lively so much when I was child but this book is so dry.
Half of me hopes something happens soon but the other half is sure there is going to be some tragedy so I'm kind of dreading it.

[[deleted user]]

I am reading two at once...crazy me. I'm at about the halfway point in A Suitable Boy, and I am reading Half Broke Horses (that's on my Kindle).

Tammie, I love horror. Just finished Shutter Island and loved it. There is a group called Horror Aficianados that has a list going of favorite horror books. Anyone can join. You might get some ideas there.

Also reading Under the Dome A Novel and enjoying it too.

[Linda]

Finished Breakfast with Buddha by Ronald Merullo and surprise, surprise, I really liked it. It's one of those novels that sneaks up on your and makes you really think what it was that grabbed you and held on. Isn't that what a good book is supposed to do, though?

Started Stones from the River by Ursula Heigi and "we'll see".

[Susan]

Actually, I havent started it yet. I was on a road trip all day and cant read in the car-I get sick! I'll start it tonight!!

This is one of my greatest regrets. I am so jealous of people who read and knit in the car.
My car sickness is so chronic that even breathing can be an effort. So much wasted time!
