Jayme, that's sad to hear. The sequels have possibilities of a good story, gauging from how Enders Game ended.

[Beth]

Paula and Patricia, I put The Postmistress by Sarah Blake on hold at the library. I heard good things about it, too.

[John]

Still working on Anna Karenina. 600 pages in and counting...

[Efe]

Just finished The Hunger Games and loved it so much, I raced to the shops to buy Catching Fire. Loving it so far and I don't know how I will be able to wait for the final book in the series.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Still reading The Class of 1846: From West Point to Appomattox: Stonewall Jackson, George McClellan, and Their Br others. They've graduated, beaten Mexico, and are now fighting Indians on the frontier.

[Jeane]

Started also Crocodile on the Sandbank

[Edith]

I just finished In the Woods while at home b/c of snow (really enjoyed it) and started If I Stay and The Help. Come on more snow! I really want to get more reading done.

[Kim D]

I'm reading Poison Study and Jane Austen Ruined My Life. It took me awhile to get into Poison Study, but now I'm really starting to enjoy it.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I really liked Crocodile on the Sandbank. Fun series.

[Cristina]

I just started reading “Look Again” by Lisa Scottoline and “Dead In Dallas” by Charlaine Harris. I'm trying to finish the audiobook of “North Anger Abbey” by Jane Austin before it airs on PBS this Sunday. My little boy and I are reading "Alice in Wonderland" together.

I usually have 4 books going at once. One in my purse, one on my bedside table, one audio book in the car, and one bed time book to read with my youngest son.

One of my favorite series of all time. There are a ton of them and they are all really good. I have been fascinated with Egyptology and pyramids ever since reading this in grade school.

I think this is one of the few series that I have read that hasnt degraded over time as the author tries to find new hooks. I hope you enjoy it the rest of them!

[Paula]

Paula, I picked up THE POSTMISTRESS today...

Ohhh, be sure and let me know what you think of it Patricia!

You could totally love it, but be prepared for it being a really different storyline than the original. I don't regret reading it at all, but it wasn't exactly my cup of tea either.

I just finished Hunger Games at work today too. It was awesome! I don't know how I'm going to wait to start the second one...I'm 8 on list at the library.

Now I'm going to start Breath, Eyes, Memory for AtW challenge.

[Stephanie]

Decided to start My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands tonight...so far it is very funny!!

[Donna]

OK I offically started Empire of the Sun

[Michelle♥]

Oh man, I have not posted anything on here in quite sometime! Life has its unpredictable quarrels sometimes!

I've been on a Michael Crichton kick as of lately and I'm JUST starting Jurassic Park. I've just recently finished The Andromeda Strain by him and have to say that I was thoroughly disappointed with the ending. But I love the fast-paced and his style of writing.

I really want to start reading The Hunger Games because everyone has been talking about how good they are, and I also want to read Splendor because I fell madly in love with the Luxe series.

Has there been any books that people have read that were so-good-I-need-to-thrust-this-into-your-chest-you-have-to-read-this-right-now? If so, let me know! Thanks!!! :)

I also really like this series - and find them especially enjoyable as audiobooks. My husband also enjoys them, so we often discuss them as we're reading. We're up to book 8 - I think there are close to 20, so there's no danger of running out of them soon!

[BJ Rose]

Currently reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, and just started listening to Descartes' Bones: A Skeletal History of the Conflict Between Faith and Reason

[El]

BJ Rose, I really liked Parable. Hope you're enjoying it!

I just finished the sequel, Catching Fire and I loved it. I just couldn't put it down, it is a wonder I still have a job. I feel bereft now having to wait so long for the last book to be released.

I am now about to read White Tiger by Aravind Adiga.

[Knarik]

I am reading THE HISTORIAN by E. Kostova, and I like it a lot !

I agree - the narrative style and his quirkie, yet elegant descriptions were a joy to read.

[Claire]

I just finished Strange Fits of Passion by Anita Shreve and gave it a 4 star. I really cared about the main character and was hoping for a good outcome for her. This is my first Anita Shreve book and I will definitely read more of her books. Not sure what I'm going to start on next.

[Ann from S.C.]

I am snowed in!!! I live in SC and never have snow, so I am going to watch the Olymics and read! I just finished A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN for the 2nd time. I'm not sure what I am going to pick up next from my tpr pile.

[Lianne]

I started reading Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants while waiting to board the train home for spring break. I'm quite enjoying it =)

[BJ Rose]

Yes, I am, El - but I'm very glad I'm not hyperempathetic like Lauren; even in good times that would be a burden.

We have snow here in NC too! We never get any snow either and I plan to read, read, read! I loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn also.

[El]

I just finished Daughters of the Stone: A Novel (I recommend it, especially to anyone interested in ancestry and the relationships between mothers and daughters). And while I'm still rereading The Name of the Rose, I also just started The Slynx. A Russian dystopia sounds perfect right now with the several feet of snow we still have on the ground.

We could use some of that snow for the olympics. :( This is the warmest winter I can ever remember.

Loved this book Li! Hope you do too.

[Gregory]

I've recently finished Wolf Hall and enjoyed it, although I find the author's writing style at times gets in the way. I"ll post a more thorough review soon. Now I'm reading Mercury Falls by Robert Kroese - absolutely hilarious, something between Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams. I can hardly put it down.

[Jamaie]

I started The Help& I'm loving it. So funny that I LOL...LOL.

[Jenna]

Just started Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner.

[[deleted user]]

Finishing One Amazing Thing [image error] ...one of my new favorite authors. I am trying to decide what to start next.

[KHoopMan]

Finished Jane Eyre and totally loved it. It reminded me how important it is to read real, honest-to-goodness literature every once in awhile. And, it stirs up alot of guilt that I haven't read all of the so-called "classics!"

[Dan]

Well...it's Valentine's Day so I thought I'd go with You Suck: A Love Story by Christopher Moore. Also still working on The Complete Novels by Jane Austen and The 120 Days of Sodom and Other Writings by Marquis de Sade.

[Stephanie]

I'm about half way through Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick.

[Paula]

Very good book Caitlin, hope you're enjoying it.

[Claire]

I'm starting The 19th Wife. Looks like it will be good.

[Marti]

I have several books I am suppose to be reading several other books, but I am reading the The Lightning Thief byRick Riordan. I am really enjoying the story.

[Vicki]

What do you think? I really want to get that book.

I think this is a cute series, I have the 4th one coming from the library soon.

I'm on page 281 and I'm liking it.

I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns and it blew me away! I loved The Kite Runner, but I think that I enjoyed Khaled Hosseini's second novel even more. I loved that he set up the book into parts which allowed you to know and understand the Laila and Mariam individually and then it described how their lives intersected and eventually how their relationship grew. Both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Truly an amazing story!

[Julie]

My book club read this book a couple months ago and we enjoyed it so much that we are revisiting it this month. Though there are a lot of characters in the book, they are all very well developed. I hope that she will write other novels that build on where she left off!!! :) Enjoy the rest of the book!!

Stephanie I'll be curious to hear what you think, especially since you're a big Twilight fan. It's gotten some really mixed reviews, as far as I can tell.

[Jayme]

Finished Double Star and The Sandman Vol. 8: Worlds' End and managed to clean the apartment. It's been a productive day! Although I was listening to Double Star while I cleaned...that helped. Now it's onto The Sandman Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones.

I liked the second one a bit better as well.
