I'm currently reading A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick.I can not say that much about it.I'm only at Chapter 4. Strong opening and really enigmatic. I'm really looking forward to see what happen next.

[Chantelle]

I can't read Jodi Picoult. Makes me too sad.

[Mary]

I've been struggling lately---just haven't hit on a book that really sucks me in. I've abandoned Sarum, read High On Arrival (actually that did suck me in, but was over too quickly) and am now plodding through Speaks the Nightbird, which is good but sort of slow, and too easy to put down. I long for a book that will completely engross me! Luckily I have a ginormous TBR pile...

[Alisha Marie]

Last night I finished 3 Willows: The Sisterhood Grows by Ann Brashares and I loved it. I thought it was a real sweet YA story. Now I'm reading Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer. I'm only in the prologue, but so far it's interesting.

I wouldn't think at all about that book as chick book!:-)

Jeane:

What a great combo. I loved both books. Enjoy!"

It was by coincidence Linda but they really matched perfectly. I finished People of the Book in the weekend and i love it. It is really so good and fresh, interesting. Still reading The Book Thief which has a very original approach to nazism, WW's, Hitler.....and I am still very curious about what the story will be and how it will go becasue I forgot what the summary said and now I don't want to know because it makes the book even better!

I am now starting The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective!"

I thought this would be very interesting and in the beginning it was. But after a bit it kept repeating and going on and on....

[Chantelle]

was really cute, I just read it this week too!

[diaryofabookmum - Jen]

Hey, I am new to the group.

I am reading 'Small Island' by Andrea Levy, I am enjoying it so far! :-)

[Carol]

Hey Jenny go on over to the newbies corner and introduce yourself. . You will get a warm welcome. Welcome and enjoy yourself.

[Sasha]

Jeane, sometimes I think my wife puts too much thought into whether books are chick books or boy books. She also refuses to like The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay because she says it's a boy book. *shrug* She's so sexist.

Also, re. Dante's Inferno: yeah, I heard the game doesn't follow the book at all. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good game could be made that did follow the book.

[Carol]

I just picked up Little Bee at the library. I will start it in a couple of days. I want to finish The Case Has Altered .

[Lori Ann]

The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandlerbefore I start this month's group read The Picture of Dorian Gray

[Mary]

I finshed the amazing Let the Great World Spin - 5 stars. I am now re-reading Chocolat before I start The Girl with No Shadow: A Novel.

Hi, sorry...newbies corner...I am looking but cannot find??

[Bhumi]

Mary, I saw Chocolat the movie and found it interesting. But I heard the book is better!

That's funny Bhumi because I have never seen the movie, although I heard that it is good! I loved the book the first time around so I am interested to see if it is still a five star read for me.

Tracy,
I haven't seen the movie yet. I heard it was good, but very different from the book. What did you think?

Jessica wrote: "I am reading The Alchemyst by Michael Scott."

I totally loved the Alchemyst! My son and I both read it and the sequels and are patiently waiting for

The Necromancer in May. I hope you enjoy The Alchemyst.

I really enjoyed this series also. Glad to hear others enjoyed it.

[Paula]

I just finished , now reading

[Kim D]

I'm reading The Reading Group: A Novel. And ugh is all I can say. I am not liking it very much. I was hoping it was going to be a super fast read and instead it just seems to be dragging and dragging. Ugh.

[Melissa]

I'm still working on Villette. It's slow going, but interesting. I'm starting The Picture of Dorian Gray for the group read. I'm really looking forward to this one.

[Angelica]

Now reading The Princess Bride by William Goldman.

[Marti]

Still reading Firefly Lane. It has been hard to find time to read. Hoping for some time soon.

[Carol]

Reading Little Bee

[Lianne]

I've started reading Ken Follett's The Man From St. Petersburg. It's has an interesting cast of characters; I wonder how it's all going to play out...

[Clare]

Still making my way through Inferno but also picked up Magician just to balance things out. Melissa let us know how you go with Villette, it was part of my reading for a class but we only got a week to read it and I didn't finish it in time. I'd be interested to know whether it's work picking up again.

[Chantelle]

I'm reading a couple. Cherishing Our Daughters: How Parents Can Raise Girls to Become Confident Women, The Girl in the Red Coat, The 19th Wife, and In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer

carol (akittykat) wrote: "Reading Little Bee"

I recently finished that. It was a good one!

[Carol]

I am liking it so far, only about one hundred pages into it.

[[deleted user]]

It's not a happy book, but a good one anyway.

[Carol]

Remember we as readers promised not to be sad. I thought that was lovely. And scars are just stars to show that you are alive.

[Donna]

Just started my bookclub's monthly read A Long Long Way: A Novel

[Reza]

I just got done with the Symbol and found it to be a duplicate of Davinci Code with different characters. I am going to start reading Stones Into Schools by Greg Mortenson.

[El]

Along with some other things I'm currently (finally??) reading A Passage to India. I've been saying I've wanted to read this one for years, and holy crap I'm finally doing it. 100 pages in. Go me!

[Gorana]

I'm reading The Secret Life Of CeeCee Wilkes and i love it! I'm almost half way through and I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next.

I actually LOVED what she said about scars. I'll always remember that.

[Carol]

There are lots of memorable passages in this book. It is summing up to be a top read so far for the year.

Even though the movie was a bit different than the book, I really enjoyed it and thought that Chris Columbus did a good job. I hope they plan to make Sea of Monsters into a movie.

I didn' enjoy Sea of Monsters as much as I enjoyed The Lightning Thief. I still liked it but I thought the first to be better but I edf would like to see it as a movie too!

Try, try again. It's worth getting through the 1st one if for nothing else but to read the other two which are SO GOOD! Promise :)

[Lori, Super Mod]

Wow... 99 posts in only two days? So many interesting books being read by everyone.

As for me and my two cents - I just finished "Beat the Reaper" today and was kinda underwhelmed by it. Dont get me wrong, it was a great little book, just didnt seem to live up to the hype that was surrounding it. If anyone is interested, my review is here: http://thenextbestbookblog.blogspot.c...

I am now starting Kelly Lydicks experimental fiction novel called Mastering the Dream

[Marti]

I will be interested in what you think of this book. Although now I have read all the comments so far from today. I will make a point of reading it and adding to my tbr list

[Julianne]

I am reading Koontz The Darkest Evening of the Year. I have about 120 pages left...right at the point where the book turns for the "climax" but I'm not sure if I want to continue...I'm concerned about where I think the story line is going.

Any suggestions? Anyone read this one?

Did you read it yet?

[KHoopMan]

I'm having a hard time getting into anything after Shutter Island. That was so psychologically intriguing (that's the only way I can describe it!), that it makes everything else seem so DULL. I picked up Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis- hopefully that can pull me in.

[Jayme]

Finished Picture of Dorian Gray today. It was pretty rockin'. Tomorrow I'll start The Darien Gap: Travels in the Rainforest of Panama.

[Linda]

Started Look Again by Lisa Scottoline yesterday. This is the first time I have read anything by her and if this is an example of others, it won't be my last. I have not been able to put it down.
