I am working on reading Out of Her League written by Kaylea Cross. I am enjoying the book.

[KHoopMan]

Goal: 25 books in 2010. 22 down, 3 to go. Finished and LOVED Life of Pi...just remembered that I read Gossip Girl over the summer and was too ashamed to add it to my list on this site, so good news- 1 book to goal!! (Yes, I'm still ashamed of Gossip Girl... it was terrible and I hated it, but I am using it for my 25!)

I am now reading A Simple Plan.

Good for you. You met your goal. I am hoping to read about 15 books next year since I know I am a slow reader.

[Claire]

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs - Molly Harper

[Sasha]

Nice Eliza! Almost there!

[Suzanne]

WTG Eliza!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Awesome job hitting your reading goal! And you will have to let me know how Simple Plan is...

[Sasha]

I loved that movie.

[Suzanne]

I finished God Still Don't Like Ugly and am now starting God Don't Play, the next book in the God Series by Mary Monroe.

[Lianne]

I am currently reading Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. I don't know if it's because I'm tired from all teh travelling or what but I'm not entirely feeling the novel (if that makes any sense) at the moment. Might take a break from it, I don't know.

[Scott]

I finished The Innocent and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass.

Now I started Wizard and Glass.

[Mary]

I'm reading The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet--it's lovely! But this morning I came home all tired from work and felt like something light so I started My Fair Lazy: One Reality Television Addict's Attempt to Discover If Not Being A Dumb Ass Is the New Black; Or, A Culture-Up Manifesto, which is amusing. I also read Underwear: Fashion in Detail last night at work, which was interesting, with gorgeous photos, but inexpicably did not address the "bullet bra" of the 1950s at all---a shocking oversight IMO.

[KHoopMan]

Aw, thank you guys for the support! I sat down to read The Simple Plan and didn't get up until it was done...it was honestly that suspenseful!

I hated The Gunslinger. I read it over 20 years ago and never continued the series because of my hatred for it. I reread it a couple of months ago and still did not like it but everyone told me that it really picks up with the second book. I agree and have been continuing the series ever since. I don't think that the series was King's best work, as some people think, but it is a good story once you get by the first book.

By the way, I thought Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal was one of the funniest books I've ever read.

I loved The Dark Tower Series, and I thought that it was some of his best work. Not THE best, but some of the best. I want to reread this series, I just have so much else to get through.

[Donna]

Finishing up Last Rituals and listening to The Hanging in the Hotel: A Fethering Mystery for a light change. Will be starting Three Seconds tomorrow.

To be completely honest, I can't actually remember if I did read the epilogue. It was a few years back when I read the series, and that's one of the reasons that I want to reread them!

Choose your own adventure :)

[Brenda]

I am reading "Let The Great WorldSpin" for a January Book discussion. I am liking it and finding it very puzzleing.

[Jessika]

I'm reading Need by Carrie Jones and Behind the Mist - Book One of the Mist Trilogy by M.J. Evans.

[Kristin]

I am reading . It's actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

[Nina-Marie]

I'm just about to start Sam Lipsyte's The Ask. Finally! Saw him read from it a few months ago, but have been too swamped for a serious splurge on newish fiction until now. Also dying to dig in to Union Atlantic by the always amazing Adam Haslett, also Jonathan Dee's The Priviledges...

[Clara]

I am now reading The Kitchen House. I just finished the first chapter and I like it.

[Samantha]

I finished Outlander about 20 minutes ago. I'm going to finish It and The Pillars of the Earth before I start the next in the series.

[Samantha]

Catie wrote: "What's the verdict Sam? Do you still like it?"

I loved it. I couldn't put it down. I finished an 800 page book in 5 days, I think that says something about it haha
I don't know, I just fell in love with Jamie and Claire and their relationship. There were a few raunchy scenes, but I'm not easily offended and it didn't bother me. I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.

[Kristin]

I finished Tales Of A Drama Queen which I thought was good, a lot better than I had expected.
I am now reading The Ice Queen and was totally hooked within the first paragraph. I love it so far.

[Betsy]

Because it was Christmas Break, (12/23-1/3) I inhaled books. I finished The Red Pyramid by Riordan,Dangerous Fortune by Follett and two cheesy Romances, Ice by Howard and Texas!Chase by Brown. Of the four I'd reccommend Dangerous Fortune with a theme of love verus integrity during the Industrial Revolution.

[Anne]

I am re-reading Southern Christmas Literary Classics of the Holidays, and also readingWhat Should I Do with My Life?: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question

[Lori, Super Mod]

Read and enjoyed Alan Heatcock's collection of short stories in Volt: Stories. This one releases in March.... If you would like to see my review - here it is: http://thenextbestbookblog.blogspot.c...
Moved on to Subversia - the author of Banned For Life, which I raved about oh so many months ago. This is a collection of his non-fiction previously published short stories. So far, they are very short and very interesting.

I always wonder what authors think when their life stories are laid out for public scrutiny - that's gotta be so hard to deal with.... When strangers meet them, they already their deepest darkest secrets...

[BirdiesBookshelves]

I am loving right now! Cannot put it down!

[Leila]

I'm currently reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman :)

[Steph]

Just about to start The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again! It's rated pretty high by everyone on my friend's list. Never read it before.

[Paula]

I'm reading "Candy Apple Dead" Sammi Carter.

[Linda]

Just started Range of Motion by Elizabeth Berg. Goes back and forth between a wife struggling to do what she can to pull her husband out of a coma and the husband's revelations while in a comatose state. Interestingly different.

[Leanna]

I'm nearly halfway through I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith and am really, really enjoying it thus far.

[Karen]

U is for Undertowby Sue Grafton

[Rachel]

Finished John Dies at the End which is laugh out loud funny. Back to The Passage now.

[KHoopMan]

Just started Choke...wasn't expecting it to be so raw. Interesting start!

[Maria]

it's been ages since i've checked this thread!

anyway, i finished The Wife's Tale from Lori Lansens today. i started it right after Christmas but didn't get a lot of time to devote to it right away. a nice story, and a good way to kick off 2011!

[Marti]

I just finished the Wolves of Andover - great historical fiction from the Mass Colony in the 1600s. I now have The Secret River to read as well as This I Believe II.

[cazdoll]

[Susan]

I'm just starting Untraceable by Laura Griffin. So far so good!!

[Mafi]

I'm reading A Gentle Rain by Deborah Smith. It's beautiful!

[Ann from S.C.]

I just finished THE WISHING TREES by John Shors and it was ok for me. I gave it a 3.

[Claire]

I'm reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I was trying to remember who wrote A Clockwork Orange the other day, because it was on the tip of my tongue, so I asked my father and he gave me a strange look and asked why I would want to read that baha.
That's on my TBR list this year. I hope you enjoy it!

I read A Clockwork Orange this last summer and really enjoyed it. The language was difficult for me at first, but it was so worth it. How are you liking it?

[Efe]

I finally finished The Children's Book by A.S Byatt. I enjoyed it for the most part, but it was really tough going and dragged unbearably in parts. it really felt overstuffed, but I'm glad I read it. It did however completely kill my ambition to read 50 books in 2010. I only managed 40. I'll have to try again this year. I'm now reading Starter for Ten: A Novel by David Nichols which I got in a Goodreads giveaway.

[Diane]

I just finished What a Difference a Dog Makes by Dana Jennings. I thought it was great! Very funny and genuine.
