Hi,
Paul Rix here, for those who like something a little bit different, might I suggest 'the reincarnation of Issac Brock' by A.B. Robinson, this probably my favourite book of all time, and I have no idea why, as I hate historical novels with a passion, and this sort of falls into that genre.
A lot of my friends, including my dear wife absolutely loved 'the apothecary' by Dereck Hucklesby, Babs, my wife, has read it twice, personally I just couldn't get into it, I do conceed it is very well written though. It simply isn't my kind of book, but then I couldn't get more than a few pages into Harry Potter and couldn't understand all the fuss made about the De Vinchi code so what so I know!

[Timothy]

Paul again,
last word but one in the above should be DO not so!!!! finger trouble or what!now you see where the 'oldgeezer' came from!!

I'm currently reading The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen. I decided to pick it up after I found out that TNT is filming a pilot for it. I'm about 100 pages in and loving it. I also have to read Brave New World for my Ethics class so I'll also be reading that today.

[Jayme]

Finished with Dead until Dark...pretty eh...Now I'm reading The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw for AtW challenge. I love it so far.

[Maria]

i finished Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen and The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig this week.

i loved Sugar Queen, it was a bit more realistic than Garden Spells, but both were spectacular stories.

i liked Willig's story, it was odd though. it was historically based, but had lots of modern chic-litish elements to it. i'll probably read the others in the series though, it was a fun read.

[BJ Rose]

Currently reading The Rape of Nanking The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II

[Paula]

I'm reading "The Lace Reader" and enjoying it so far.

Jenna, I feel that Handle with Care is very similar to Her Sister's Keeper also, however at no time did I have an actual visceral reaction like I did with Handle with Care. While I expect her books to irritate and cogitate in my brain, I never have disliked a character so much. I expect her to show me all sides of an issue and to make me think of things from other view points. I expect that her books are going to be about children and families in some ways and about relationships. But this one had me reacting to a character in a very negative fashion - almost from the beginning.
The other part of this book was the ending - was it purposeful or accidental - I can't decide....

[Kimberlee]

Just started Madame Bovary. I have never read it before and am excited to see what happens and why it has been such a popular novel over the years!

I like the rest of the series better than the first. They don't veer quite so close to bodice-ripper territory!

I love Sara Addison Allen's books too. Do you know she has a new one coming out? It looks like it's due out in March. The Girl Who Chased the Moon

Now going to read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card."

I would love to try this one out. It sounds it is more like the around the world in eight days than the 20000 league under the sea one!

Allison I finsihed The alchemist too. What did you thinkabout the 'advices'? Sometimes they felt a bit too much pushed for me but lukily not too much. I liked the story of the sheep herder as a on its own story.

Marti...I felt the same way about the end. I ended up really hating one of the characters too...possibly the same one!

[Marti]

Julie, hope you will enjoy it. I don't like romantic stories at all but for some unknown reason I adore this book!!!!

Yayayay Pride and prejudice!!!! Another one. Liz, the holidays must be great for you with the tme to read!!!

[Shona]

Just finished Something Missing A Novel. Really great story--I gave it 4 stars. Now on to The Thirteenth Tale. It's been on my TBR pile for ages and I've heard great reviews, but for some reason I'm not excited to pick it up...we'll see.

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading two (almost) connected books: Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela, and The Smell of Apples: A Novel (A memoir, but really a novel, of an Afrikaner boy growing up during the 70s and 80s). Both are fascinating, and I realize just how much I don't know about Africa. I've got Google going full blast while I'm reading!

[Dorie]

I'm reading Shadow Season by Tom Piccirilli. The narrator is blind, so I'm interested in how he'll communicate the story.

[Beth]

Finished reading Benny & Shrimp. Endearing in a quirky way. Gave it 3 stars.

After reading The Kitchen Boy A Novel of the Last Tsar, I was looking for something more in depth about the Romanovs. A GoodReads friend recommended Nicholas and Alexandra, which I am currently reading.

[Jeane]

Started At risk, a non Scarpetta story. Read about 20 pages and don't have a clue how it will be.

[Kathy]

I just finished two Louis Bayard books, The Black Tower and The Pale Blue Eye A Novel, and loved them both. I'm now reading Uglies by Scott Westerfield, one I've been meaning to read for some time.

[Jayme]

Finished The Year of the Flood, it was awesome! Now I'm starting The Hound of the Baskervilles. It's my first Sherlock Holmes book...but not really, I already know I'll love it.

They are, although I still have homework. I'm re-reading P&P for a paper.

[Writerlibrarian]

Finished a reread of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Rereading knowing the end is I found as exciting as reading it for the first time. So.. now either going back to Kafka on the Shore or Sharpe's Gold.

[Kat (A Journey In Reading)]

Started and finished Cross Country today. Now I have to figure out something else to read..... JP's books go way to fast for me!

[Beth]

I'm reading Why We Hate Us American Discontent in the New Millennium by Dick Meyer, Shogun by James Clavell, and School of Fear 1 by Gitty Daneshvari

I can't believe how many 1-star reviews there were, but I'm glad I read it :) Besides it only took away about 2 hours of my life!

[Leanna]

I just finishedA Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray and thought it was pretty fantastic.

My boyfriend had some friends over this weekend and one brought his girlfriend who is also a huge reader, so I stole the graphic novel, Rapunzel's Revenge, that she finished and blazed through it last night. It was fabulous. I adored Rapunzel throughout the whole book.

I just started Salem's Lot last night. It will probably take me a little longer than the others have, just because it's a bit longer and a bit more dense and also I have about fifty projects coming up that I need to work on. It's good so far, though and I'm excited to get into it.

[Marti]

I am starting to read A Courtesan's Scandal. Hopefully lovely historical romance that will take me away!!!!! After that you know I might need another historical romance to take me away.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of my favorite books. I hope you enjoy it.

[Ann from S.C.]

I finished UNDER THE DOME by Stephen King and it was fantastic! I could not put it down.

[KarenLee]

Finally, The Girl Who Played with Fire, arrived from the library. I've just started it, but already am enjoying it. I'm getting into it quicker than I did The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
