The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

Dissolution

[Marti]

I started to read The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson. Just finished the Prologue - and I am starting the book mad, madder and maddest ...

[Sasha]

I wish my name was Brad Thor.

It is a pretty cool name.

[Linda]

Just finished 13 Hour by Richard Doetsch and gave it a 5. What a roller coaster ride and the ending did not disappoint. I hate when that happens in other books that just fall flat at the end. This one is sooooooooo good from start to finish.

[Renee]

I finished Dead Until Dark. It was soooo good that I stayed up until 1:00 am to finish reading it. I am currently reading The Hound of the Baskervilles. After this it will be A Virtuous Woman or 1st To Die.

[Efe]

I just finished Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and I absolutely loved it. It has been a few books since I got my teeth into some really good lit fic. I am now going to read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan before picking up 100 Years of Solitude for the group read.

[Donna]

Finished up on Noah's Compass, and finishing up on The Help then off to read Forever by Judy Blume.

[Cait]

I'm 1/3 of the way through Flowers for Algernon and I've already cried a few times. I think I'm in for an emotional roller coaster with this book.

[Flora]

I finished Anna Karenina, I loved it but I thought it would never end. Working on Shutter Island I've heard it was really good.

Donna, what did you think of Noah's Compass? I have it on my TBR list and had picked it up at the library but had to return it before I could get to it.

[Donna]

It was a nice comfort read.That's pretty much what I can say.

[Janet]

I am reading Love Mercy, the latest novel by Earlene Fowler. She is a very engaging writer.

Donna, i just finished a reread of Forever. Love to hear what you think when you're done.

Oh I LOVED that book! Beautifully written ..."

That was an awesome book. It is in my totebag to take to the beach tomorrow for a re-read!

I never read Judy Blume and everyone insists so this is the first one I was recommended!

[Felina]

I'm currently read Dune and will probably follow it up with Horns.

That is one of my all time favorites.

I thought it was a really good "first love" story.

[Katie]

I just finished Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. It served well for a good laugh after reading some darker books.

I just started South of Broad. I kinda have cabin fever, as I haven't been anywhere fun since Christmas. So I thought it would be nice to read a book that really ties into a location. I've been to Charleston twice, so I'm familiar with the layout and landmarks. Reading this is kind of like taking a much needed trip, even if it's only in my mind.

[Susan]

Good for you Katie!!

[Claire]

I just finished In the Woods and liked it, although I had hoped for a different ending. Now have to figure out what to read next.

[Jason]

I have read the first chapter of Quantum Breach and was very impressed with it.
It is pumped up and full of adrenaline and
starts with a high pace that never lets up for
a second. Slight quibble in one place the grammar
lets the author down a little. But as I have enjoyed
what I have read so far I am willing to let that pass.

[Sydney]

Just finished a book by Laurie Notaro
Now I am going to jump right into Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde. :) Once I finish that I will probably read One Hundred Years of Solitude!

Let us know what you think of Lost in a Good Book. I was a bit put off by the Eyre Affair, but if the sequel is better, I may give it a shot.

[Paula]

I'm reading a Ya I picked up working at an elementary school this week. "Running Out of Time" Haddix. It sounds like a book the movie "The Village" by Shymalan was based on. It's not bad so far.

Monef- I will let you know what I think-- I enjoyed the Erye Affair- and have heard from several people that the series gets better with each book.

[Marti]

I am about 1/2 way through The Girl Who Played With Fire. OMG It is sssooooo good.

[FromAna]

this month I read: I Am Legend, Peter Pan, Princess Bride, Wizard of Oz, Agnes Grey, Awakening and today I started Madame Bovary :)

Oh good! I am about a hundred pages into this now...

[Sasha]

Cool, Madame Bovary! I've been meaning to reread that. Love to hear what you think.

Ohhhhhhh..... you are ahead of me!!! I'm on #5, will hopefully start it next week

[Linda]

Started yesterday on my Kindle (so have no real sense of what page I am on) and cannot put the thing down. Ingredients: Charleston, SC (1910); murder of a Jew; NY journalist seeking the truth; black man accused. Mix it all together and what a great story (and it's true).

[Claire]

I'm getting ready to start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.From what it sounds like, its a little slow but I better read this one so I can get to the second one, which is much better, so I've heard.

Personally, I loved the Eyre Affair. I have read the whole series and they are all really great except for the last one, which was just sort of meh. Though if you didnt like the first one, I dont see you liking the rest.

[Brenda]

I am 8 pages into the bookThe Tender Bar : A Memoir by J.R. Moehringer. This book was left at my local coffee shop. Has anyone read it? It has won some awards so that is why I thought I would give it a try.

[Jason]

Who is Moe ? and why is he being Ringed ? I feel the world deserves to know !!

[Mary]

Brenda, I read The Tender Bar: A Memoir a couple of years ago and I liked it very much. It takes place in my hometown and I know several of the characters (though not the author or his family) and all of the landmarks, so I am sure that influenced my opinion. That said, I have several friends who read it without my frame of reference and really liked it as well.

[Bhumi]

Just finished Living Dead in Dallas and am in search of another good book.

That sounds really good. I'm adding it to my TBR.

I'm currently reading Dune & audiobooking Cleopatra's Daughter. Both very good so far.

[El]

I loved Dune. That's one of those I wish I could read for the first time again.

[Felina]

So far its very good. Like my face exploded good.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Finished After Elizabeth: The Rise of James of Scotland and the Struggle for the Throne of England, by Leandra De Lisle, last night. Interesting read.

El wrote: "I loved Dune. That's one of those I wish I could read for the first time again."

El - have you read the whole series? I read the first one a few months ago and really liked it, but didnt feel inspired to continue on. Worth it?

[Jodi]

I just finished Olive Kitteridge, and now I am reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

I've heard the rest of the series are very lack luster. Kinda makes me sad.

[Marti]

I am reading Desires of a Perfect Lady. Lovely romance.

I am still finding myself unable to let go of what I finished before this The Girl Who Played with Fire. I have already called the bookstore to have them put a copy of the third book The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest on reserve for me.

[Lori Ann]

I am reading The Elegance of the Hedgehog and then The 19th Wife. Elegance is different than I thought it was going to be, haven't decided whether I like it or not...

Bridgit, the first one is definitely the best. Then they go downhill from there. I still really enjoyed the second and third books, but the fourth and fifth were only ok. I'm about to read the sixth and have done with it.
