I'm starting (at 119 pages so far) The Passage by Justin Cronin.Excellent with a series of character vingettes that keep you burning through the pages into this dystopian world.

[Sasha]

Cool Betsy, that book's getting incredible reviews.

[Sasha]

And Bridgit, Bruno Littlemore sounds really interesting. Keep us posted.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Bridgit, I gotta find a way to get my hands on that damn book!! You're killing me!!

[Maria]

i set aside The Calligrapher's Daughter for the time being. i needed to get some space and then go back to it. as a quick read in the interim, i picked up Love the One You're With from Emily Giffin on recommendation from a co-worker. i'm about 95% enjoying it; the other 5% of me wonders why the character doesn't do one of the 2 things i think are obvious in her situation. of course, i'm only about 100 pages in, so we'll see if my opinion changes any.

oops, I meant Brave New World is what I ordered - is this good as well? (hope so).

[Jenn]

I keep starting books, then finding something else and starting that and so on, lol. So I am reading:

High Noon, by Nora Roberts

The Scent of Sake, by Joyce Lebra

Certain Girls, by Jennifer Weiner

[Mona]

Jenn: I love world fiction so I checked out here and added it to my list. How is it so far?

[Jenn]

It's awesome! I am about 3/4 of the way through, I highly recommend it. It's a fast pace and goes through several decades, which I love.

I read an "Advance Readers Copy" last year and found the book very enjoyable.

[Rosabelle]

Alex wrote: "Rosabelle, Pirate Latitudes was just okay, huh? Bummer. I've been sorta tempted by that one."

Alex, yes, it was just okay. Not as good as his other books that I've read so far. It gets better the second half of the book. I imagine it would be have been better watching the movie if it gets made into a movie :)

[Joycer]

I am currently reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon which continues to amaze me as I get further and further into the book . And re-reading neil gaiman's American God just because its been a really long time since I've read it :)

[Carol]

I am reading finally Wolf Hall. I have had this on my shelf almost a year so decided the time was ripe for it.

[Rosabelle]

I am currently reading The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson, the second book in the Millenium series. I'm on about 28 pages in.. hopefully the second book is as good or even better than the first one :)

[Mona]

Jenn & Brenda: Thanks for the comments about . I'm looking forward to it now.

[Jayme]

I finished The Age of Innocence and really loved it. Can't wait to try another Wharton out. I'm going to start The Tipping Point today on audio and I'm about 50 pages into Doomsday Book and loving it.

[Mary]

I finished Hannah's Dream and really like it. I am now reading The Irresistible Henry House.

[Paula]

I'm just starting "Death of a Trophy Wife" Laura Levine. I love her wit.

[Marlene]

I'm currently reading The Lovely Bones. Have not seen the movie. I am midway through this book. It is unquestionably a powerful story. I am also reading Rose Cottage by one of my favorite author's Mary Stewart.

[Carol]

I think I have read all of her's but that one. I started reading her in junior high school.

[Carol]

I will be discussing House Of Mirth in December with another group here on goodreads.

I had to order a Kindle sample of this one, The Scent of Sake based on the timing. I just enjoyed a lovely bottle of Hakutsuru Sayuri sake last night with my incredible sushi/sashimi. The Amazon ratings/comments area bit mixed so I eagerly await yours.

I absolutely love Mary Stewart novels. I go way back some 20 odd years or so with reading her fiction novels. She is like an old friend that I love to catch up with from time to time.

[Cait]

I'm going to start (and finish) Tinkers today. After that I'm on to The Passage, which I'm so excited to read.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I gotta get my hands on Tinkers. How was it, Cait?

[Carol]

Lori Tinkers is fantastic. My other group will be discussing it soon and I can't wait.

[Sasha]

Claire wrote: "oops, I meant Brave New World is what I ordered - is this good as well? (hope so)."

I loved that too, but some people find it a little bit difficult to get through. I'm sure you'll be fine. :)

[Rayna]

I loved Brave New World. I read it a while ago and I think I may have had a bit of trouble getting into it for the first few pages, but then it really grabbed me. I hope you enjoy it, Claire.

[Marti]

I finished Summer People and Ten Things I Love About You. The first two of my summer reads.... Next up is Maisie Dobbs.

[Fran]

Just starting The Hemingses of Monticello, Annette Gordon-Reed

I like Nora Roberts trilogies when they deal with the paranormal or supernatural.Although this set was darker,more Stephen King like,than some of her other trilogies, I enjoyed it very much. My favorites of these type of trilogies deal with the three sisters on the island of the same name and the Irish tales with jewel names in them. Funny though I'm not crazy about her Eve Dallas series which she writes under a another name.( Yeah,I'd use another name too:)

[Betsy]

I'm reading The Passage by Justin Cronin. It's an excellent Sci/Fi about a dystopian world brought about when a failed military experiment unleases man-killing semi-human monsters on the planet. At this point the surviors are living in fortress type compounds fighting off the "virals" and worrying about their dimishing power resources.

[Vicki]

I am reading Fahrenheit 451.

[Beth]

I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson

This sounds really interesting. I just requested it from the library. I'm #116 in the queue.

[Cathy]

Currently reading . So far, I'm really liking it! More to follow..

[Sasha]

Vicki, awesome! That book is awfully good.

[F1Wild]

Lori wrote: "I gotta get my hands on Tinkers. How was it, Cait?"

I'm hoping we may end up reading Tinkers for a possible July pick (if under 200 page genre decided on??) as it's 192 pages.

[Nimapolite]

I've just finished "eleven minutes" by Paulo Coelho and I'm reading "The Winner Stands Alone Paulo Coelho".I am very busy with my work but do my best to finish it as soon as possible

[Samantha McNulty]

I'm curently indulging in my Pride and Prejudice spin-offs. I'm reading Loving Mr. Darcy: Journeys Beyond Pemberley, the second book in the series by Sharon Lathan

Bridgit wrote: "...Planning on going to Hulu once I finish to watch the TV show that was based on the series: The Dresden Files. Did anyone see it? It was cancelled after one season, so I don't have high hopes...but I always pray for another Firefly or Arrested Development where the show is just too good for the general public to realize and THAT is why it was cancelled... sigh..."

I've never seen it but the people who guide all my scifi TV viewing recommend it.

[Loretta]

I enjoyed the Dresden series too, and hadn't heard anything about the books at the time.

Just finished a really really lovely book, The Lake Shore Limited. Beautifully written book about grief and relationships among a group of people who lost a loved one in 9/11.

Now I'm starting Anna Karenina. I'm having a hard time getting into it, because I just haven't had time to read more than a few pages at a time, and today won't give me much time either, but I'll keep plugging away.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Vicki wrote: "I am reading Fahrenheit 451."

For the first time? Ohhhhh I loved this book!!

[Sasha]

Yeah, Karenina begs for big old swathes of time, but I totally dug it. Just finished it last week.

I'm reading The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker by Leanna Renee Hieber
I've been so looking forward to reading this book I kept saving it until I realised there would never be a perfect time to start it.
I'm only a few chapters in but so far I am not disappointed.

[Myne]

I am currently reading, The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingslover and I love it. The narrative is a gimmick, writing from the perspective of the four daughters in a forward continuation. Very interesting.

[Rosabelle]

I am currently reading The Girl Who Played With Fire, the second book in the Millenium series... I wish I had more time to read this weekend... have been so busy, didn't have enough time to read and I have to go back to work tomorrow... *sigh*

[Trish]

I am on some sort of YA fantasy kick lately.
Just finished The House of Night Series and now I am on book #2 of The Vampire Academy series ( which I am loving) I have also read The Sookie Stackhouse Series.. so any recs on what series to start next?

[Cait]

I will know today. Yesterday I got a bit sidetracked; my 2 year old managed to get a sequin in her eye (seriously, wtf) and we spent some time at Urgent Care. I guess those are the kinds of injuries I can expect with four daughters. :o) But I am reading it today and I'll let you know.
