How did you like it? I am reading it for my book club next month.

[Julie]

Just finished Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I absolutely LOVED it!!

[Sasha]

Suzanne - yeah, I did, and that makes sense to me. DDL could pull off tall, awkward and inspiring.

He and Streep and maybe Johnny Depp are the people I would go see no matter what because I know they'll pull it off.

[Gitte]

I've been reading The Vampire Lestat. I like it, but it's a bit too dark and gloomy for my taste, so I'm taking a break from it and started reading The Accidental Woman by Jonathan Coe, which is a short, light and entertaining read.

Oh, man, really? i was looking forward to that one. No idea why I expected Steve Martin to be a good writer...

[Flora]

Just finished The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon and I loved it. I thing I would like to read Exploration Fawcett as well sometime. Its a fascinating mystery to be sure.

Getting ready to start The Crossroads

Yeah, and if they couldn't actually pull it off, you'd know it was because no one could pull it off!

Reading The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War. Some curious organizational decisions, but interesting.

I loved Steve Martin's other two novels. This one was just slow and sucky. All about the behind the scenes of the art world, and an uber aggressive gallery employee.

I am now reading Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason"


I've heard that this is a good book for recommendations. I should see if the Library has it.

I'm reading a recent Goodreads Giveaway win, Three Seconds. I'm only about 40 pages in and am enjoying it. It's a police crime story revolving around the Eastern European Drug Mafia. It's quite detailed but not overly brutal (yet, that is. It's still early in the book).

Oooh, that's on my TBR list. I'll be looking forward to what you think.

[Jessica]

Currently reading Waiting for the Taliban: A Journey Through North Afghanistan - it was an inexpensive read for my Kindle. Really enjoying it so far. It's non-fiction, written as almost diary-like dispatches by the offer on assignment for Foreign Affairs magazine. She'd been there in '01, and returns to Northern Afganistan 9 years later. Finding it answering some of my questions of what is going wrong there.

[Patricia]

I just finished The Distant Hours. I liked the beginning and the end, seems it just dragged on through the middle of the book. I was going to read The Forgotten Garden next but I'm going to pass on it for awhile. I'm going to the library tomorrow to pick up The Scent of Rain and Lightning.

[Sasha]

I'm with Petra, Suzanna: I've heard good stuff about Rape of Europa and I'll be looking forward to your final opinion.

Clara wrote: "I think I want to read this book as well. I have Kinsella's book on my TBR. I haven't started yet... too many good books to read."

Clara, I didn't care for this one. Hope you like it better than I did.

Kelly wrote: "Kristi wrote: "Let the Great World Spin"

Kelly, it was...interesting. I was ambivilent in the beginning, liked it part way through, grew frustrated even further in, and then realized what was actually going on and liked how it all concluded.

Overall, all I can say is keep an open mind, enjoy the discussion, and wait until the end before you judge it.

And if that's not the most frustrating response to a direct question, I'm not sure I know what one is. LMBO!!!

[Kristi]

Finished Twenties Girl, began The Children's Book (about 50 pages) and will start either I Am the Messenger or The Late, Lamented Molly Marx (which ever seems to be lighter).

Can't wait til Monday when I just SINK into The Children's Book.

[Emilly R]

Finally i finished reading "The Alchemist"It is ok, but, i wouldn't read it again i prefer,"By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept"by the same author Paulo Coelho.I just starting to read "THE STONE DIARIES" BY CAROL SHIELDS

Patricia, I agree that The Distant Hours was too long, even though I really enjoyed it. When you get ready for it, The Forgotten Garden is the best of Kate Morton's books so far.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Did I mention that I finished Autumn and it was really really good? Great spin on the zombie-pocalypse!

Now I am getting ready to start Duncan's Diary: Birth of a Serial Killer - sounds a bit like Dexter in a sense, and also a bit like Peter Crumb. We shall see....

[Rosalie]

Currently I am reading and enjoying it. I am also reading . I am givin myself a change of genre from Tudor England. World War II has been a very interesting genre which I have just begun to read.

[Esther]

A little while ago I finished The Marriage Artist. I received the ARC and wanted to review it before it came out but it put me in such a funk I had to get some distance before I could write about it. The writing is beautiful, and probably the main reason I finished it but the characters are so bleak, not really sad just bleak.

I am currently reading the beach street knitting society and yarn club. It has been an enjoyable read.

I loved "The Last Child." The story was suspenseful and the characters were so endearing! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Brittany, I hate putting "The Last Child" down! We've had company for the past few days and it's all I can do to not sneak in a few more pages! LOL

[Madeline]

I just finished Dead Until Dark, I liked it quite a bit. I missed some of the characters that are only in the show, but good none the less. Not really sure what I'll be reading next. Maybe Dracula. I don't know what I'm in the mood for though.

Paula: I have read Every Man Dies Alone and it is an eye opener to life in Germany during WWII. Not everyone was extolling the virtues of the party agenda. A very different perspective. Can get pretty intense, but you would expect that of a war novel. Hope you enjoy it.

[Flora]

Just getting started on Inkdeath and also The Lost Hero

Thanks Linda, I'll have to move it up.

I finished Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian and started Zeitoun by Dave Eggers.

[AmandaLil]

Just started Juliet and Matched is up next

[Matt]

Finished Animal Farm last week. Picked up the 3rd and 4th books in the Dark Tower series, so I just started The Waste Lands.

[Steph]

Finally reading The Sweet Far Thing so I can finally see what this "terrible ending to the series" I keep hearing about is. Haha. Also most of the way done with People of the Book and I am enjoying the little stories from history but I really don't like Hanna very much.

[Jennifer]

Let me know what you think of the ending to the sweet far thing!

Overall, yes. If you find yourself getting frustrated, remember it's one of those that the end brings it all into focus.

Finished all but The Children's Book. Still plugging away on that one.

I've decided to go for something a little... lighter. I'm reading Goodbye, Jimmy Choo by Annie Sanders. It's not great, but it's not the worst book I've read. It's pretty tolerable, I suppose. It seems by the reviews on here that it's either a love it or hate it book. Personally, I'm siding with the former so far. It's a bit dull.
