[Marti]

It has been a while since I checked in - I have been very busy. I finished reading the Hunger Games Series - LOVED IT and the New JD Robb book - again LOVED IT

Now I am reading This Must Be the Place: A Novel by Kate Racculia. It is interesting so far, but curious main character.

[Jeane]

Just finished March and now starting Ironcrown Moon.

[Rachel]

I started The Passage by Justin Cronin.

[Toni]

Reading Huckleberry Finn (ugh) and Wuthering Heights (better).

I think I was mostly disappointed bc I've read books she writes under another name, I believe it's Madeliene Wickham or something like that. Anyways, I really enjoyed them. Since this wasn't a shopaholic book I thought I'd give it a shot, bc I did enjoy her humor before.

Ah well, not everyone will like everything. I'm glad Gitte is enjoying it though.

[Jeane]

for now Ironcrown mood doesn't seem very good and don't think it is because I didn't read the first one in the serie.

[Kristi]

I've had to set aside TBC to conquer some group reads. So right now I'm reading:
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
I Capture the Castle

and The Postman Always Rings Twice on audio. But that ones just for me.

Is it possible not to love JD Robb? Lol.

Really great book, though a touch longer than it needed to be (IMO).

But, Nick... tell me how you really feel about THE ROAD :)

[Patricia]

I finished A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and will read Black Girl/White Girl by Joyce Carol Oates next.

I loved and adored [book:I Capture the Castle! It's tied with Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird for my favorite books of this year. I really hope you enjoy it.

[Rosabelle]

I'm currently reading The Most Wanted by Jacquelyn Mitchard. So far so good..

[Sasha]

Ha! And I deeply disliked the ending of The Road. Didn't feel earned.

[Cait]

I finished Skippy Dies last night. I almost took it back to the library unfinished because it was overdue and it hadn't really hooked me yet. Thankfully I ended up housebound and decided to continue, since I was racking up late fees anyway. What a wonderful book.

Now I'm starting a book I won on GR, Hypothermia, as well as HELP! A Bear is Eating Me! (yay!)

[Sasha]

I read that this year, Felicity. Quite liked it.

[Beth]

I'm just beginning The Surrendered by Chang-rae Lee

[Flora]

I'm about 100 pages away from being done with Inkdeath and while I have enjoyed the book it feels like it will never end.

Toni, I absolutely hated The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn when we read it in high school, but gained greater appreciation for it when I had to reread it four years later in college. Wuthering Heights, on the other hand... I have attempted that one twice and failed to finish both times. Good luck with both!

[Ann from S.C.]

Finished MOLOKA'I and gave it 4 stars. Also read THE MANY LIVES AND SECRET SORROWS OF JOSEPHINE B. by Sandra Gulland and gave it 3 stars. Now am reading PRIVATE by James Patterson.Kind of slow start.

[AmandaLil]

Just started Matched

[Steph]

Finished People of the Book and really liked all the little side stories of the books history but didn't care for Hanna's portions.

Started The History of Love and finished it in a day which is something I haven't done with a book in awhile. I was excited to pick this up and it was wonderful even though it was a little confusing at times.

Still reading The Sweet Far Thing and deciding what other book I want to read next.

[Dani]

I just finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and I'm currently reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke as well as Minder by Kate Kaynak.

As soon as I receive my copy of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick I will start reading that one asap!

[Petra]

I really enjoyed Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell as well.

I finished reading The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette and Embroideries. Both light, interesting books.

I'm currently reading Three Seconds, which I won in a Giveaway. I'm really enjoying this book. It's a Swedish crime (drugs/mafia) thriller that is suspenseful and detailed and very "real to life" (not Hollywoodish and gun-slinging, etc).

[Dani]

Catie and Petra,

Glad to hear you enjoyed Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. I'm only about 60 pages in and so fair I'm definitely intrigued! Thanks for your input.

Catie, well it's still early in he month so you have some time still but don't put it off too long! :P

Thanks ladies.

[Marti]

I am now reading The Emperor's Tomb by Steve Barry... Great book so far thriller/mystery

[Angela]

I'm almost done rereading High Fidelity. I forgot how much I love this book. It's a quick read and it's pretty funny.

[Emilly R]

Hi everyone,i finished "THE STONE DIARIES"by CAROL SHIELD,this book was just wonderful.I am reading THREE JUNES BY JULIA GLASS.

I wish it had felt like that for me because I didn't wanted to read on because I didn't wanted it to end!

Hi Stephanie, what was it about Hanna that made you feel that way? This is my favourite book of the writer (read years of wonder which is second position and jsut finsihed March which is 3rd position for me) and absolutely loved Hanna as character. You are right that the history told beside it is great! it is one of those books which makes you go on the internet constantly or makes you put all related books on your tbr list!

[Sarah]

I'm currently reading Lady of Hay by Barbara Erskine. It's one of my mum's favourite books, and my sister read it recently and enjoyed it. So now it's my turn...!

I'm also reading a couple of books for uni, but I don't really count them!

[Tracy]

I recently started reading The Battle for Christmas. I am also currently reading The Gargoyle and The Wishing Trees. I recently finished The Weight of Silence it was wonderful :o)

[Paula]

I've had this one on my list forever and keep hearing good things about it. I'll have to move it up for next year.

[Carrie]

I'm starting The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. I hope it's good. I've been having a hard time lately and I need something to take my mind off of drama.

[Ann from S.C.]

I finished PRIVATE by James Patterson and I was not a fan. 2 stars... Now am reading A MURDEROUS PROCRSSION by Ariana Franklin.

[Kelly]

I'm reading: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Dragon Wing (my husband is a huge fantasy fan and asked me to check out this series...so far so good!).

There was just something about her that irked me. She seemed full of herself and I was tired of reading about her credentials and her colleagues and where they went to school and how they were famous for this and this. Just irritated me I guess. I did appreciate how the author left things with her mother in the end; because I'm a firm believer that happy endings don't always exist and just because someone is a blood relation doesn't mean they deserve the right to treat you like crap.

I looked for [book:March at the library but it was out so I picked up Year of Wonders. Have you read that one?

For now I've started The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox.

[Patricia]

I finished Black Girl/White Girl by Joyce Carol Oates. I ended up only giving it 2 stars. Now I'm reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. So far I'm enjoying it.

Ender's Game is a book that I need to add to read list! Thanks Patricia! I hope you enjoy it. Let me know how it is.

[M.G.]

Since I'm planning on writing a detective novel soon, I've just bought a few award-winning mysteries for inspiration:

The Ice House
Fox Evil
Raven Black

Years of wonder was the first one I read and for now my second favourite. I thought it so so when reading it but the whole story was very beautiful told. Enjoy!

The ice house is very good I think.

[Flora]

I just finished The Lost Hero which I loved. I can't hardly wait for the next one to come out next fall.

Currently I have just started The Tombs of Atuan

[Yasmin]

Reading "The Meaning of Liff", very amusing.

[Gabriella]

I'm reading Woof! Writers on Dogs. There are some very cute stories in there. I am reading it while I am waiting for a book to come in that I ordered from the library, it's called Fallen Angel: The Unlikely Rise of Walter Stadsnick and the Canadian Hells Angels.

[Esther]

I finished The Wish List which was light and not really my thing.
Now I want to start my ARC of Angelfire

[Scott]

I just finished The Venom of Vipers, a very good sci-fi story from an independent author.

Now onto The Waste Lands.

Kristi, what's your favorite Madelei..."

I just went to look, to see/remind myself which ones, storylines, etc, and realized I hadn't put any of them on my list! So, I just starred them based on the synopsis and what I remembered as the story.

Cocktails for Three was the one I remembered the best. To me that means it was the story I liked the best, got into the most, and it stuck in my head.

So far it's (I Captured the Castle) is really good. It's with a weekly book club, so I can only read 1/3 at a time. That can get frustrating at times, bc I just want to jump ahead. Lol.

Anyways, so far I'm enjoying it!

Great stories. Great Expectations was good, but "A Tale of Two Cities" I thought was great!
