I'm just about finished with In the Woodsand have really liked it so far. I thought some parts of it dragged a little and didn't think they were necessarily relevant to the story. But all in all, a good book.

Oooh, I have this but havent read it yet, How is it?

[Lori, Super Mod]

Whoo hoo Bridgit for another Verne!!!

[Suzanne]

I just finished The Creation of Eve. It swept me right into the 16th century. I just started Little Bee. I'm not sure yet what I think of this one.

[Joseph]

I just finished Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell and have started The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

[Renee]

I have just started One For The Money by Janet Evanovich. Everyone said this was a good series so I am giving it a shot.

[Liz]

I'm reading Three Cups of Tea & Outlander & listening to Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.

[Krista]

Thanks for the update, Katie! I'm going to pick up the new Melissa Maar hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I'm thinking I'll need to reread Wicked Lovely to really know what's happening. It's been sooooo long since I read it.

[Krista]

Thank you for the review, Joel. I was intrigued by the cover for Angelology but didn't get drawn in by the description on the jacket. Your review confirms my fear. Perhaps I'll check it out when it hits paperback. Thank you!

[Krista]

I started Descent into Dust and am loving it. A bit predictable, but an enjoyable read all the same. Looking forward to finishing it this weekend and then starting the new Ted Dekker - The Bride Collector.

Yeah, I just finished it and hated the entire last section of the book. A one-star read. I wouldn't make it a priority.

[Carol]

I started The Ox-bow Incident. Has any one else read it? I am liking it very much. It is much more than just a western.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I have started If You Follow Me - a story about an american girl and her girlfriend who travel to Japan to teach english to high school students, and struggle with the japanese garabage laws... well, of course that's not the whole storyline, but that's what Ive read so far....

:)

[Paula]

I'm reading a YA called "The Deep and Dark and Dangerous" by Hahn. It's a ghost story and pretty good so far.

[Ana]

I just started "Percy Jackson and the lightning thief", by Rick Riordan

Carol, I have not read it, but I have it somewhere. I keep meaning to read it.

El find it if you can. It is so relevant even today. I was struck by the depth of such a short book.

The co-author of Three Cups of Tea came to my school (wright state university) to speak. It was amazing! I have not yet read the book, but after listening to him speak, I want to! I hope you like it!

[Carol]

Three Cups Of Tea is a mission of enlightenment. It was a wonderful book about people doing wonderful unselfish things. Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet was a poignant look at the internment camps during WWII and how different peoples lives and races were affect. It was an endearing book.

Renee, I'm one that loves this series. I've just put "Fearless Fourteen" up at the top of my stacks to read next. Hope you enjoy!

I loved "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" Carol. I haven't read much on this era and this book made me want to look for more.

[SillySuzy]

I am currently reading The Other Hand by Chris Cleave. It is a heartrending story that really gets to you.

[sheila]

I am currently reading "The girl that played with fire" by stieg larrson. I am 65% (kindle goes by percent read)done and it is SUCH a good book. I cant wait till the next one comes out!

[Susanna]

I'm almost halfway through The Lost Symbol but I didn't want to risk damaging the hardcover in my full-as-it-was backpack (since it's a friend's copy) so I decided to pack something a little lighter: a paperback copy of Flashforward . I'm 50 pages in and it seems to be a quick read. Good so far, too.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I had a little bout of insomnia last night, so I was on to a big fat non-fiction, How Rome Fell: Death of a Superpower, by Adrian Goldsworthy.

[Mary]

I have just started Promise Not to Tell: A Novel. Creepy and good so far.

It's pretty good. It's slower than his other ones though in terms of pace even though its 126 pages long but it's good.

[Marti]

I just finished reading The Queen's Lover which I enjoyed. I have a couple of books to read next The Girl That Played With Fire, House Rules, and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Not sure which one is the one I will end up with tomorrow morning.

[Alisha Marie]

I just finished I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith and absolutely loved it! I just fell in love with the main character and with the book as a whole. It is definitely one that I will re-read often. Now I'm going to start reading Locked in the Cabinet by Robert B. Reich.

[Elizabeth Hamor]

I am currently reading "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemmingway

[Alicia]

I keep starting books and then picking up more! I need to finish some of the stack I have started. Most recently I started reading one of the books I won through first reads, Beautiful Malice: A Novel. I am enjoying it so far.

[Petra]

I finished The Bronze Horseman. Ugh! Bad, choppy dialogue, incredibly unbelievable situations, very convenient and predictable solutions to problems. None of the usual integrity, fear, tension, valour, stout hearts usually found in Communist Russian set books.
Run....don't walk......away from this book. I don't know why it has such a high rating on Goodreads.

I'm going back to finish Fool now.

I just picked up Bel Canto from the Library today and am looking forward to reading it soon.

[Loretta]

Bel Canto is one of my all time favourite books. I hope you enjoy it!

I just finished The Accidental Tourist, and was sort of "meh" about it - okay but not great. I found the characters mostly annoying - so quirky I couldn't connect with any of them.

Wandered into Chapters yesterday and picked up Women, Food, and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything and The Private Patient - am now reading the Food one and should finish that today - it's interesting. Roth is taking ideas and concepts that I'm familiar with from other areas (mindfulness and meditation) but linking those specifically to our sometimes disfunctional relationship with food.

This is my favorite Hemingway! I read it last spring for a class and absolutely loved it. I hope you enjoy it!

[Paula]

I'm just starting "Fearless Fourteen". I'm looking forward to Stephanie and the gang.

[Marti]

I am reading House Rules by Jodi Piccoult and I am mesmerized and had to force myself to put the books down to accomplish other things!!!!!

Paula - LOVE LOVE all of the Stephanie Plum books - already have preordered Sizzling Sixteen. Her books make me laugh out loud until I hurt from laughing so hard!!!

[Jamaie]

I started just last night & literally got pulled in within the first few sentences.

[Paula]

Same thing for me Marti. I buy them in paperback so am always one behind. I got my hubby hooked on them also, he loves them and he doesn't read a lot of fiction. : )

[Joseph]

Finished The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and have started This Side of Paradise

[Lianne]

I've started reading Ian McEwan's Amsterdam (finally got my hands on it after eyeing it for ages). I'm about a chapter in but it's shaping to be an interesting read =)

[Clara]

I am now reading Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. So far so good.

[Susan]

I'm reading When You Went Away by Michael Baron and The Secret Life Of CeeCee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain. Loving both of them!!

[Vicki]

I am reading A Reliable Wife. It is quite strange.

[Catamorandi]

I am reading Light in August by William Faulkner.

[Carol]

Vicki wrote: "I am reading A Reliable Wife. It is quite strange."

I liked it a lot.

[Jayme]

I took a quick break from Wizard's First Rule to read Batman: Arkham Asylum, which was not bad, but not not amazing either.

[Jessica]

Vicki wrote: "I am reading A Reliable Wife. It is quite strange."


I just finished a Reliable Wife last week. Let me tell you, it does not get any less strange as you read further. I think the jacket cover was misleading. I was expecting a shocking twist, but was left with a predictable, unrealistic turn of events. I did, however, like the winter imagery and the metaphors all throughout the book.

I've toyed with reading this, but was a bit worried when Oprah went all gaga over it. I either love her recommendations or hate them.

[chucklesthescot]

I'm on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which has been a fun read so far. I'm probably going to go with The Hunger Games as my next read.
