That looks good Lori.

[Marti]

I just finished reading The Betrayal of the Blood Lily, which I really really enjoyed. Now I am thinking I need a little mindless and humorous read. Since You Are Leaving Anyway, Take Out the Trash by Dixie Cash sounds just up my alley!!!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Mary, so far it has been. A little confusing at times, the author keeps things hidden to add to the suspence, but I want to know everything NOW, so it keeps you reading :)

The House of Dr. Edwardes by Frances Beeding (pseudonym). It's the little known book that became Hitchcock's Spellbound. As it's out of print I'm having to read it online at WOWIO, which means it'll probably take me an age to get through it.

My son and I just started #1 this afternoon. I told him he has to read the book if he wants to see the movie. Both of us are finding the book to be very interesting.

I finished the book "Healing Stones by Nancy Rue" earlier today. I realy enjoyed this book.

[Catamorandi]

I just finished Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I have started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Jeane, I finished Snow Flower And The Secret Fan last night. I really enjoyed this book. I feel so sad for the people, either male or female. Both had so many restrictions to live under that everyone was so uncertain about everything.

I also loved the book... After all this time the foot binding still really bothers me!!! I guess I never realized until recently - what physical element could be damaged to make the women so dependent on their husbands and their sons. The foot binding was a method to make the women insular - even from each other.

i finished Searching for Paradise in Parker PA by Kris Radish this afternoon. not a bad read, but not one of my favorites. i think i was a bit disappointed that her version of Parker, PA was so different from the actual Parker, PA, that it colored my reading of the story. i also had a harder time relating to the characters, but i did laugh out loud many times, so it was still worth the effort, IMO.

[Jenna]

Finished the Lovely Bones which was really disappointing. Now starting Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld.

[Rachel]

What did u find disappointing?

[Michelle]

Just finished Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf and decided to start The Hours and Bleak House by Dickens. I think Bleak House will probably accompany several of my next books as it will take me a while to get through.

[Maureen]

I'm reading Dick Meyer's Why We Hate Us: American Discontent in the New Millennium, and I've just started The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

[Brooke]

I am reading The Luxe. I have really enjoyed it so far. It is a very fast read.

[Bridgit]

Just finished The Hunger Games and loved it. Thanks TNBBC!

Am also partway through Dubliners by James Joyce but am reading it a little at a time because it is all short stories.

And I have just started Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne. This is my first Verne and I am very excited.

[Petra]

Just finished Ulysses. I started this in early December. It really is incredibly well written and dense and the story encompasses all of Life and it's a lot of work to get through for a first reading.

I'm not sure what I'll be starting next.

[Jenna]

Rachel wrote: "Jenna wrote: "Finished the Lovely Bones which was really disappointing. Now starting Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld."

Rachel,
I hated the end...it seemed so strange and out of place to me. I guess I also thought that it would focus more on solving the murder. Have you read it?

[Stephanie]

I am just starting 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill...I know he is Stephen Kings son so I am hoping this one is a little spooky!

Jenna, that is exactly how I felt about The Lovely Bones. The ending just did not make sense at all.

[Maureen]

I'm reading Dick Meyer's Why We Hate Us and also The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. Enjoying both so far.

[Jennifer]

I'm reading Interview With the Vampire, and because I'm a wimp and can't read it after it gets dark (yes, I'm a grown up, just a wimpy one) I'm also reading Aphrodite's Kiss to balance out the creepy that is Anne Rice.

[Andrea]

Right now I am reading Sings the Nightbird by Robert McCammon. I really like it & am hoping to finish it today. It takes place in the year 1699, in a town called Fount Royal, which is just south of Charles Town, S.C. All about a witch that is on trial for 2 murders and the whole town thinks she is responsible for all of the bad things that are happening, including the incessant rain. But the magistrate's clerk thinks she is innocent.

I thought it was a fun fast read. I ended up looking for the whole set, because I enjoyed them."

I'm really enjoying it! I've read the first two so I'm not surprised that I like the third as well.

I also started In the Woods this weekend. Needed a mystery to go with the fun Chick lit.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I just finished Truly, Madly, which was a fun little book, and now I'm starting Shutter Island. The movie pushed that one right up to the top of my list!

[Jamaie]

I'm about 7 chapters into Year of the Flood(Atwood) which I got from the library...I have to fit in library books along with the books I own. Next for me is The Help.

They had, but for me they also had a lot of things that were full of feeling and emotions. So much in our life seems so empty and fake.

Hi,
Paul Rix here [again:] I've just finished a book one of my sons got me for Christmas, Mad Dogs and Englishmen 'an expedition round my family' by Sir Ranulph Fiennes. My son bought it because he knew I had met the author, all be it briefly when I was in the army. This book is quite remarkable as it follows the fortunes of the Fiennes clan from just before William the Conqueror to when Sir Ranulph was born. The amazing thing is I learnt more history, which I hate!, reading this book than I did in five years at grammar school. This country I am proud to call home certainly has a checkered past and seems to have been ruled mainly by psycopaths with incestuous, pedaphiliac tendancies. His family tree is more like a spiders web than a tree. I found it very entertaining, and informative, yes I enjoyed it, surprising as it is a million miles away from my normal reading. I give it four stars, almost deserving the elusive five.
All the best Paul Rix [old geezer:]

[Chrystal]

I just finished The Ocean Inside by Janna McMahan. It was really good. You would enjoy it if you enjoy Jodi Picoult. I just started Not My Daughter by Barbara Delinsky. It's good so far.

[[deleted user]]

Finished Biker Chicks which was ok, thought it would have a bit more insight then it did.

Now I'm starting to read White Stone Day by John Maclauchlan Gray. Only about 15 pages in but it hasn't grabbed me yet.

I finished Mystic River up yesterday and I was so impressed by it! I thought it was really well written and the character development was great.

[Britt]

The Au Pairs. Just started it today.

[Marti]

Next up for me is The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder by Rebeca Wells. I am quite looking forward to it, as I adored the Ya Yas!

[Crystal]

I am reading Willow. Still have Betrayed on the back burner becuase this book is soooo good!

I love Jules Vernes. I have 20 000 under the sea ebook on my Ipod and I'm rereading it on and off. My all time favourite Vernes is Michel Strogoff. I reread it every other year.

[Writerlibrarian]

I'm reading a romance novel. I've been known to read a few a year. Got this one from a rec from the Smart Bitches blog article looking for disabled heroines. So far Dancing In The Moonlight is pretty good and doesn't make me want to throw it across the room. *g*

[KHoopMan]

I just started Jane Eyre, which I have never read. This will probably take me a long time to read because I am not used to the language. So far, I like her spirit!!

[Bhumi]

Hope you enjoy Jane Eyre, Eliza!

[Jacqueline]

Just finished Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes which was a quick and cute semi-scientific read. I would have liked it better if it had been formatted around an actual point or thesis rather than as a question answer browse book, but the author was upfront with what the book was so I suppose I can't hold that against her (not to mention that he other book seems to be some sort of self-help book so I would be wrong to expect a great scientific work on neuroscience). Also could have done without the, as one reviewer put it, "cosmo-esque" interventions after certain questions on how to manipulate concepts she talked about in your own love life. Three stars.

I was in the middle of Dracula when I started Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes but felt stalled half way. I'm going to give that book a rest for now since I'm really not "feeling it" and am moving on to Free Fall by William Golding which has been sitting on my shelf forever.

I really enjoyed One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Poisonwood Bible. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is one of my all time FAVORITE books, really hope you enjoy them!

Jayme and Stephanie- 20th Century Ghosts is an excellent collection! Not all the stories are spooky but they're all different.

Jenna, I read The Lovely Bones a couple years ago and I just remember liking the book as a whole. Although, I did see the movie and didn't like the ending of that which I believe is the end of the book, so maybe I agree with you. Time for a reread :)
