Jeane, I have The Mists of Avalon on my TBR list and may give it a try soon....let us know how you like it. I am STILL plugging away at Under the Dome. Its a really good read by Stephen King but its just taking me awhile.

Hooray for Odd Thomas! How was Dexter by Design? I have it, and plan to it read soon.... I am hoping it is an improvement over book3... that one let me down a little.

Yay! I really liked Fallen, it was my first Maine novel, and I quickly ran out to by the rest of his books. I would love to hear what you think!

I wanted to start Ulysses with you and the others, but I just have not had the time. I hope I can get to it soon.

message 17118: by Carol (new)

Carol I thought it was one of his classics. Not to my taste though. He is not someone I care to read.

I can't read Patterson's Cross series , to violent for me. I do like other books by him.

Kristin (kg05) | 310 comments I just finished The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult . I dont know what to start next. I have some Evanovich books, im only missing like 3 of them and its not until like the 8th book so i guess i could start them!

Lori,
Dexter by Design was just ok for me. It was an improvement from book 3 for sure, but this one didn't really do it for me either. The show is awesome, but the books are starting to fall flat in my opinion.

Ann from S.C. | 1395 comments Am reading THREE CUPS OF TEA: ONE MAN'S MISSION TO PROMOTE PEACE....ONE SCHOOL AT A TIME by Greg Mortenson and am loving it.


message 17127: by Lianne (new)

Lianne (eclecticreading) I've finally picked up Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 1-4 from my shelf and started reading it. It's been on my TBR list I think for the past year or two and I'm glad I'm finally getting to it =D


message 17128: by Shelly (new)

Shelly Mourning Hey all,

I just joined the group and thought I'd add my what are you reading...
I just finished Club Dead (3rd book in Sookie Stackhouse series) and I'm definately intrigued as to how it's going to play out in the series.
I am currently reading the second volume of the Night World Series by LJ Smith. I'm not loving it so it's taking a while, just because all the stories are the same. I got sucked into the YA series reading this summer, so I figured I'd finish the series and explore more adult books :)


message 17129: by Kristin (new)

Kristin (kg05) | 310 comments I decided to start One for the Money last night, i am 50 pages in and loving it. i am missing books 6 and 11, and the last one i have is 13 so if there are any newer im missing those too.. but i figure i can find either of those at goodwill or just buy them whenever i get to them

I agree, not a favorite of mine, but still worth a read!


message 17131: by Jayme (new)

Jayme (jayme-reads) Finally finished Never Let Me Go. Weird, but I liked it. Going to try and read The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives and then start The Tales of Beedle the Bard.


message 17132: by Cait (new)

Cait (caitertot) | 604 comments I'm currently reading The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters. It's my first book of hers and I'm loving it. It's starting to get nice and creepy.

I'm also a quarter of the way through Ulysses and, surprisingly enough, I'm really enjoying it so far. It definitely take effort and concentration on my part, but the payoff when things "click" with me is worth it. My favorite episodes so far are those from Bloom's perspective. Episode 7, in the newspaper office, was the first episode I didn't care for.

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments FInishing up on The Fourth Hand and then I am going to start my ARC of The Crossing Places


message 17134: by Loretta (new)

Loretta Cait, I absolutely loved The Little Stranger - I'm a big Sarah Waters fan, though, so it's interesting to hear people's reactions who haven't read her other stuff.

I stayed home with a cold yesterday and picked up Sweetness in the Belly - I quickly forgot about my sniffles and aches. Really enjoying this, it's beautifully written and very vividly rendered.

i just finished The Little Stranger. i thought her style of writing and the way the story unfolds - slowly and with grace building the suspense - really suited the time period in which the story takes place. it reminded me a lot of an old black and white Hitchcock movie like Rebecca. i really enjoyed it.


message 17136: by Kristin (new)

Kristin (kg05) | 310 comments I read her two others as well and enjoyed them, i wish Baby Proof stuck with those same characters but I still want to get it since i liked her others. I cant wait to see what you think!

I completely agree. Her sense of pacing is dead on and her subtlety serves to make the story that much more eerie.

I'm glad your enjoying it, too, Cait. I didn't enjoy Episode 7 either. It's certainly a harder book to read but by taking it in episodes, it's not bad at all.
