Patricia, what do you think of Sula so far? I found that book mildly disturbing and I still haven't really made my mind up on it.

[Tracy]

I finished Year of Wonders and absolutely LOVED it. I started Wand Peace which will be my main focus for the next weeks/months. Also I would like to finish The Battle for Christmas by the end of the first week of January.

Hope you enjoy Dracula, Danielle. I recently read it and liked it very much.

I'm about 70% of the way in and I am really enjoying it. It's so creepy. Vampires should be unnerving just like the Count.

[Madeline]

Hmm I can't remember the last book I posted about here.

I recently finished An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England, which I thought, despite an annoying main character kind of making up for it in the end, was a mildly unpleasant read. Really too bad because I fell for that title.
Before that I read Love in the Asylum: A Novel, which I think I mentioned here, and just to reiterate, I loved. :)

Now I'm reading The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories. Which I'm enjoying so far. I find Susanna Clarke's writing to be a soothing kind of excitement.

[Sasha]

Ah, I wanted to want Arsonist's Guide, but when I looked into it further I got dodged out. Glad to hear you backing up my misgivings, Madeline.

[Scott]

I just finished The Graveyard Book. It was excellent.

Now I am reading The Innocent.

[Alisha Marie]

I finished Going Bovine which was incredibly disappointing. Now I'm reading Sacred by Dennis Lehane and With Good Behavior by Jennifer Lane, which was a First Reads win. Both pretty good so far.

[Rebecca]

I've finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I found the book most entertaining, evoking many differing emotions... disgust, suspense intrigue, and a few laughs also. I am looking foward to the sequels. 4stars
City of Ashes The twists are epic and jaw-dropping, the action very gripping. I can't wait to read the rest of their journey in City of Glass. I would recommend this series to all ages. 4stars
Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley It is extremely well researched and very careful in it's dealings with highly biased source material. Alison's Weir's conclusions on Mary and the murder of Darnley hardly rock the boat, but nevertheless this is a readable and highly detailed account of a most interesting historical event. I also gave this book 4stars
I have started Cry Wolf and Wild Magic

The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium. Enjoyable so far.

[Jessika]

I'm reading The Christmas Box Collection: The Christmas Box Timepiece The Letter by Richard Paul Evans, just like I do every year around this time!

[Patricia]

I actually couldn't get into this one Danielle. Between Sula's grandmother's storyline (with her leg and what she did to her son) and the the relationship between Nell and Sula, I just wasn't sucked in. Definitely disturbing.

[Madeline]

I'm almost done now Marjorie, and it's good, Usually in short stories I am usually ehh about one or two, but so far I wish they were all full novels!

Yeah good on you Alex, if it hadn't been a free book, I hope I'd have had your intuition to stay away. Pity the waste of a good title.

[Alisha Marie]

I finished Sacred, which I liked, although it was my least favorite of the Kenzie/Gennaro series. I also finished With Good Behavior, which I thought was a really great romance book even though I don't tend to like romances.

Now I'm going to start Her Fearful Symmetry and I'm really hoping that I could get through this one as I couldn't get through The Time Traveler's Wife.

[Sasha]

Well hey, Madeline, free is free.

[Caity]

I've decided to go ahead and start The Wake of Forgiveness, since it was a give-away win on here and all. Only read the first chapter, but so far it seems to be headed in a much better direction than 2 of the 3 others I've got going right now.

[Paula]

I'm reading "The Judge Who Stole Christmas" Randy Singer and listening to "The Gift" Cecelia Ahern. Both have been good and are getting me into the Christmas spirit.

[Jessika]

Right now, I'm reading A Christmas Carol. I love it--it always puts me in the Christmas spirit!

[Dania]

Currently reading: "Brisingr" (Inheritance Cycle 3) - Christopher Paolini

Just began:"Maximum Achievement" - Brian Tracy

[Gabriella]

I'm reading The Girls by Lori Lansens.

[Susan]

I'm reading Those Christmas Angels by Debbie Macomber...I just love this series!

[Carol]

I am starting The Brothers Karamazov today. and I am still reading Stone's Fall. I still won't be joining the group read for next month, but I hope to get to "The Sun Also Rises" within the next few months.

[Alisha Marie]

I just finished Her Fearful Symmetry and really liked it. I thought it was a very well-written, spooky, ghost story. Now I'm going to start The Vyne: Mystery of the Hidden Ember, which was a First Reads win.

[Jennifer]

Finally starting last sacrifice!

[KHoopMan]

My goal for 2010 was to read 25 books. I just realized that I have 6 days to go and 3 books to read!! I'm on vacation and the Northeast is enjoying a blizzard, so maybe-just maybe- I can do it! First up is Life of Pi. Hope everyone had a great holiday : )

[Sasha]

I like Life of Pi! Good luck!

[Caity]

I loathed Life of Pi and wanted to set it on fire. I almost threw my copy against the wall, but the fact that I was reading a PDF on my laptop stopped me in time.

In celebration of getting a Kindle for Christmas, I have decided to start a book on my Kindle, so I am currently reading too many books again. My Kindle book happens to be The Year She Fell. So far I'm only two chapters in, but it is interesting and the writing is at least decent. It's kinda nice having to keep reading the chapters in order to know when a chapter ends - it keeps me from obsessively counting the number of pages I have left before I finish that chapter and saves me probably 10 minutes per chapter.

On top of this I still have The Wake of Forgiveness, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Little Book, and Citizens of London going. I'll finish a certain two of those books eventually...

[Steph]

I thought Life of Pi was good in the end but the first few chapters made me want to throw it as well.

I'm reading Lady Oracle and St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves: Stories which I got for Christmas. I love the titles and the book is just as imaginative.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Finished The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium and gave it four stars.

[Paula]

I'll be starting "Room" Emma Donohue later today.

[Kaion]

Caity, I think I did throw the book multiple points. Probably first when certain people convened at the zoo much to Pi's discomfort. Bah. What a wannabe-deep book.

[Mary]

I just finished Cloud Atlas yesterday and re-started Black Swan Green, which I had set aside many weeks ago. Next up is The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet and then I'll be done with David Mitchell until he writes a new one. (I'm not interested at all in Ghostwritten and haven't heard too many positive comments about it.)

[Caity]

Ooh, Mary, I'd be interested in hearing about Thousand Autumns... It's one that has recently caught my eye.

[Alisha Marie]

I put down The Vyne: Mystery of the Hidden Ember because I was finding it boring and started reminding me of second-rate Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I'm going to start reading The Shining. It seems appropriate with the snowstorm going on outside.

[Rebecca]

I have finished Wild Magic An immensely enjoyable read 4 stars
Cry Wolf there are so many character holes you start to wonder if you have just caught the "punchline" and missed the main event 2 stars
The Shack I quite enjoyed it , but found some of the religious ideas difficult to fathom 3 stars
Beastly This book was recommended to me by a friend for a reading challenge and I am so glad I read it. I found the book which was written in the Beasts point of view to be an enlightening read 4 stars
I have started Catching Fire and Once Bitten, Twice Shy

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Started Defining the World: The Extraordinary Story of Dr Johnson's Dictionary.

[Donna]

I'm reading Louise Erdrich's Shadow Tag. I bought it for my husband for Xmas because I wanted to read it. DH loves Louise Erdrich, but as soon as he read the end flap, he knew that I had really bought it for myself. BUSTED!

[Beth]

LOL, Donna. That's funny!

[Diane]

Just started Salting Roses, by Lorelle Marinello. I got a free advance copy through my librarything.com membership, so now I've got to read and review it. So far, (34 pages), I like it. The story grabs you immediately--you're thrown right into the action. I hope it continues in this interesting, quick read vein.

[Clara]

I am in between books. I am finishing with A Window Across the River. Not bad so far, I am on page 77. After getting stuck with The elegance of the Hedgehog, I need something light. I think my next read should be Louise Shafferor Pursuit of Happiness. One of them is bound to be good. They told me so much about Serendipity I really hope it won't disappoint me.

[Lynda]

I just finished for NetGalley and really enjoyed it. Now I'm reading . Hmmm...I see a title theme here. :)

I also read "The Judge Who Stole Christmas" here is December. I thought the book was well worth the time to read.

[Paula]

I also read "...

I enjoyed it also Brenda and just added "The Justice Game" by Singer as a free download to my Kindle.

[Eden]

I'm currently reading Pennsylvania Fireside Tales: Origins & Foundations of Pennsylvania Mountain Folktales & Legends by Jeffrey R. Frazier. Pretty interesting so far.

[Andrew]

I am currently reading For One More Day by Mitch Album. I am actually pleasantly surprised after reading Tuesday's with Morie...which I found less then satisfying. Album takes the prospective of an ex-pro baseball player to tell his story, and I never want to put it down...maybe it is because I feel like I am snooping into this persons life, I don't know.

[Huda]

im reading the Ha Ha ny Dave king, its his first book and so far its really good :)

[Lori, Super Mod]

Recently finished The Orange Eats Creeps - which was a bit beyond my taste range...

and now diving right into The Visiting Suit: Stories From My Prison Life - which has really grabbed my attention.

Both are from indie publisher Two Dollar Radio (a great press with kickass novels!)

The Ha Ha was a great read! I really fell in love with the character - so frustrated and so warm-hearted!

[Suzanne]

Right now I am reading God Still Don't Like Ugly and reading through World Religions: The Great Faiths Explored & Explained.

[Steven]

Just finished The 7% Solution. Now on Undaunted Courage.
