[Emily]

It's been slow going recently. I'm reading The Mists of Avalon and The Vampire Lestat. I'm still sort of waiting for them both to pick up and get going. I guess we'll see.

[Rachel]

The Vampire Lestat was my least favorite Vampire Chronicle. Queen of The Damned is my favorite.

[Kristin]

I started AND finished yesterday. I enjoy all of her books.

I'm reading now. 130 pages in!

Really? My mom said that Interview With a Vampire was her least favorite, and that Vampire Lestat was the best. But then I have heard good things about Queen of the Damned. Hmm. I'll have to report back on this once I finish it.

[Heather L]

I'm about 400 pages into Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Slowly working my way through this series.

[Maria]

i finished the 6th book in the Pink Carnation series, Betrayal of the Blood Lilly yesterday.

i started the 4th book in the Mistress of the Art of Death Series, A Murderous Procession this evening. i'm not far, but hopefully it's just as interesting and enjoyable as the other 3 were.

i also picked up 2 books for my trip, i grabbed Breaking Dawn and The Girl Who Played with Fire. i'll be flying cross-country, so hopefully i'll get through both of these, or at least one of them. i'm considering bringing a third, less entertaining book that will help put me to sleep the night before my race. i'm already having strange marathon dreams, so i think i may need the help!

[Elena]

I am reading The Cider House Rules . This book is good. It was made a movie but I can't imagine it in the big screen.

I am also listening to Mockingjay . It seems to me that the purpose of the author is to think of the cruelest things she can present to the reader. I don't get it.

[Carol]

I finished Sarah's Key Now I am readingBlame: A Novel

[Kate]

Kate, I read The Kitchen God's Wife a long time ago and really liked it alot. I've liked all of the books I've read by Amy Tan. I got to see her at a reading one time and she was great.
."

I rather enjoyed it and I'll definitely try to get around to reading more of her books. It was heartbreaking in some parts and almost had me in tears towards the end which doesn't often happen. Sneaky Helen! She seems like a great story teller, seeing her would have been excellent. Lucky you!

Currently reading Sherlock Holmes in order and loving it so far. I don't know why it took me so long to read them!

[Marlene]

The Catch Trap and I just finished Adrift.

[Ann from S.C.]

I am almost finished with FALL OF GIANTS by Ken Follett and it is fantastic!! I will look forward to the next 2 books in the series!

[Regan]

Just finished "Good in Bed", as an 'escape' novel from my more insightful and 'enlightening' literature, and it did it's job, easy entertainment.

[Rosabelle]

I finished reading The Enemy by Lee Child. Quite an enjoyable read, lots of mystery, action and twists. I'm currently reading Shanghai Baby by Wei Hui and also re-reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Cider House Rules made an unforgettable movie. Haunting.

[Dana *]

I finished Life Among Them (The Walking Dead, #12) which was fantastic and now can't wait until the next installment. This is a fantastic graphic novel, setting a high standard for others, IMO.

I am trying to make my way through but it is slow going. Somehow I am not getting drawn in at all.

[Sasha]

I loved that most recent Walking Dead, Dana! I wasn't sure where they were going with this one, and I was worried I wouldn't like it - but now I get it. It's terrific. Dying to see what happens next.

Ihad the same for The mists of Avalon. was really looing forward to read it but the beginning was a bit slow. For me it did it take up after a bit and I really liked the book.

[Lianne]

I am currently reading Dan Simmons's Drood; I needed a book to read the other week while waiting for someone so I went to the bookstore and picked it up since it was on my want-to-read list. It's been interesting so far =)

[Vonney]

Halfway through The Wet Nurse's Taleand love it. Author will be at our book club Oct 29 in Raleigh. Looking for laughs so I started The Financial Lives of the Poets. At least the first chapter is a scream and so appropo for these hard times. When I finish my homework, TWNT, I will have some difficulty in deciding what to read next.

[Casi]

I am almost finished reading Love Unscripted by Tina Reber.

This book is freaking awesome! Finally, a story where the protagonist isn't a helpless twit that needs to be rescued from her own stupidity. I cried my eyes out at one point. The writing is so authentic, you feel like you are actually there with the characters. I even read some of it out loud to my boyfriend, who started reading over my shoulder. Hope to finish it tonight!!

[Efe]

I finally finished The Count of Monte Cristo and felt as though I had run a marathon! It was an amazing read and I am so glad to have joined TNBBC or I might never have tackled it. After that I read both Gregor the Overlander and Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane because Mr Monef bought me the box set for my birthday. I am currently reading Eva Luna after which I will read one more Gregor book before tackling Sarah's Key for the group read.

[Sasha]

Interested to hear how Drood ends up for you, Li. My wife was all excited about the description, but the book ended up leaving her cold.

[Jayme]

You didn't really just say it left her cold did you, Alex?

[Leslie T.]

I just finished I, Robot and really liked all but the last story. Now I'm going to try Let the Right One In again.

[Rosalie]

Currently I am reading and loving it. I finished Ms Brooks which prompted me to try this book. I highly recommend both of these books.

[Esther]

I've just finished The Angel's Game. The first and second part were wonderful even better than The Shadow of the Wind but the third part was a little ordinary and the ending was weak. Still a great book, though.
Now I am reading The Girl Who Played With Fire. So far so good.

[Cait]

I was counting on Jane Austen to rescue me from my string of sub-par reads and she did not disappoint. I just finished Persuasion and gave it 5 stars.

Now I'm starting The Bad Seed by William March. It's the first of many creepy books that I hope to read during the month of October.

[Gitte]

I just started The Mermaids Singing by Val McDermid today. It's the first in the Tony Hills series and I'm very excited to read it.

[Jeane]

Rosalie, this are the only two books I read of her, Year of wonders as first and I absolutely loved the stories too, the way it was written, the history in it. She writes great books.

[Jeane]

I am half way through Inkdeathfeeling so good reading it but sad thinking it is the last one.

[Vonney]

Loved People of the Book.

First I thought of the Inkheart series as a book for children only and didn't really feel like starting... but after I convinced myself to start reading this series, I couldn't stop! Cornelia Funke's characters are so lovely, they are not only friends for children, but adults aswell:)Tell me how you liked Inkdeath?

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Finished Vanity Fair last night - what a great book!

[Emily]

The Mists of Avalon is picking up quite nicely.

[Scott]

I just finished the epic Under the Dome.

Now I am reading Horns. Keeping it in the family, I guess.

Horns is the first ebook I've borrowed from the Carnegie Library here in Pittsburgh. I bought the hardback awhile back but it is just to easy to read it on the Nook.

[Claire]

I'm reading Dracula by Bram Stoker for my creepy Halloween read! Not too far in, but liking it already.

[Regan]

oh lovveee The Mists Of Avalon. Just started, An Assembly Such As This, my FIRST ever fan-fiction. ok so far.

[Madeline]

I remember as I read The Mists of Avalon I was always infuriated with the women (so stubborn!), however it was such a well constructed book that I did come away thinking it was quite good.

Sarah. I didn't know the books but my boyfriend had me watch the movie with him because he thought it sounded like something I might like. What he meant was, it is about books so you will like it. :-) I was completely in love with the movie nd the first chance I had to go to the bookshop I searched for it. We found it, guess where? In the children section! :-) I for sure don't think it is only a kids book. Actually, finding it pretty adult like. Have you read all of them? I am half way Inkdeath and torn between going on which I really want to do and stop ebcause I don't want to finsih and I am afraid of what will happen!!!! This is a very weird feeling because even with my favourite books I don't have this. Even if I am getting very excited, I keep realizing that it is fiction and most of the time it will be all ok. But this one is driving me crazy! :-)

Madeline, I heard that comment a lot but couldn't really share it. But for now I haven't heard anyone sharing this feeling of me:-)

[Liz]

I am currently reading The Gargoyle & plan to read The Woman in White afterwards.

I didn't see the women as stubborn. I believe they bore a great responsibility, and were fully aware of the need to temper the selfishness of the unenlightened. Like the Bene Gesserit for whom they serve as a template, they are resolute in their mission to see humanity reach its highest potential. But of course, they have their own inner demons to vanquish.

She also wrote an interesting story set during the Civil War, March, which won the 2006 Pulitzer prize for fiction.

[PDXReader]

Totally bogged down in To the End of the Land. It's beautifully written, but definitely not a page-turner. It's requiring a lot more concentration than I have right now, particularly as I keep looking longingly at all the other books I've downloaded over the past four weeks!

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Started Coriolanus today. Man, that is one long first act. (Though not as long as one of the acts in Antony and Cleopatra, which lasted approximately forever!)

[Jeane]

Donna wrote: "Jeane wrote: "Rosalie wrote: "Currently I am reading and loving it. I finished Ms Brooks which prompted me to try this book..."

Donna,that is another one I want to read!!

Jeane and Antoine, I was reconciled to them by the end. Somehow I felt they'd done the best their prejudices would allow. Its just that I often felt their own actions were the cause of all the turmoil they were forced to endure. Which is when my frustration flared highest. It however was a book that I thought about for a while after I'd finished and would definitely recommend to others.

[Matt]

After Fahrenheit 451, I started the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I thought the Gunslinger was fairly good, although it's mainly a "set-up" for the rest of the series, and am now reading The Drawing of the Three.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I just finished Jessica Francis Kane's The Report - and gave it 4 stars. This is a book that makes you appreciate the life you are living - check out the full review on TNBBC's blog: The Report

Now getting ready to start Rayner's Marvellous Hairy
