I started The Fellowship of the Ring today, for a book club. I'm STILL not done with The Pillars of the Earth like I wanted to be. I don't even know if I'm 50% done. :/

[Kristin]

I just started .. not a lighter read like I had wanted, but at least this one wont make me cry!
And I should get through it fairly quick.

Claire it did sound interesting but once I got into it, it was just a lot of speculation. A lot of questions asked that could not be answered and a lot of repetition. I got in about 50 pages and thought I'd skip ahead a little and maybe it would change but it didn't. I was very disappointed because I was looking forward to it.

I really enjoyed the Fellowship of the ring and look forward to reading Pillars of the earth. How do you like it so far?

[Alisha Marie]

Not S. Leighanne, but I'm also reading The Pillars of the Earth and am really enjoying it so far. I was shocked at how easy it was to get into. Even though it's about 1000 pages, it moves at a very good pace. For me, it hasn't had one boring part and I've got about 250 pages to go.

[Jason "Book Sniper"]

Thanks Alisha, Ive been avoiding this book because of the length... you just motivated me to add it to my next tbr book :)

[Rebecca]

I have finished Swallowing Darkness I was delighted to pick up this book and find not only little sex, but a fast paced, hectic and actually exciting and absorbing read. The main storyline is being stretched way too far now, but hopefully the next book will bring it to an end so I gave it 3 stars
The Hunger Phylly is a fourteen-year-old girl living in Ireland in 1845. Phylly fights to keep her spirits up through her family's struggle for survival and even experiences the wonder of first love. 4 stars
Awakened Stevie Rae and Rephaim, I felt like somthing was missing 4 stars
Angels' Blood fresh and original but it didnt grip me from the start 3 stars
I have started Halfway to the Grave this definitely has a grip on me from the start.

Finished Morality for Beautiful Girls, and now am probably on to Major Pettigrew's Last Stand.

I enjoyed The Major. It was quick reading.

My mother just read it and found it really charming.

I was just about to add this to my list. Glad I kept reading the thread. Too bad it wasn't well executed, sounded like an interesting book.

[Madeline]

I read Blood and Chocolate in a day. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the main character's mental journey, from extreme self assurance to self-loathing, back to acceptance. A very teenage transition.

Now I'm reading Cover Her Face and Dracula. I usually don't do two at a time, but I keep forgetting to bring the former and I have Dracula on my iphone. I'm the farthest into Dracula so far, and the ride up to the castle was deliciously creepy!

Kristin, I will definitely continue with Stephanie Plum! She's so much fun, and I love the culture of her neighborhood.

[Maria]

i finished The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane last night, and i really liked it. a very intriguing story that was told very well.

i'm finishing up a fluff read tonite, Love Me if You Dare by Carly Phillips. it's ok, nothing special, but it helps me feel like i'm getting some reading done!

[Anne]

Annie Dillard's For the Time Being.

It's been awhile since I've read AD...she hasn't faded one bit....bird-headed dwarfs, the Peking Man, GOD.
I rest my peace.

[Flora]

Just finished Foundling and I really liked this one. Am looking forward to the next one in this trilogy Lamplighter. I also read Letters From The Earth over the weekend and must say I loved it.

Getting ready to start Helen of Troy

[Alisha Marie]

I finished The Pillars of the Earth and absolutely loved it! It went very fast despite the fact that it's close to 1000 pages. Now I'm starting Book of Shadows by Alexandra Sokoloff.

Oooooh, that sounds interesting! My family has vacationed in the Outer Banks ever since I was a little girl and we used to go to the "Lost Colony" play every summer (http://www.thelostcolony.org/)--I'm definitely adding this book to my TBR list!

ETA: just read your second post...maybe not.

E(again)TA: Ew, just read some GR reviews of this book. Definitely will not add to TBR list--I detest poor writing. Dang.

I really wanted to like it but it just wasn't for me. I'll look for something else though, I'd like to read about it.

[Paula]

Mary, I'm really bummed that it wasn't written in a way to make it interesting. She asks a lot of questions and then just makes conjectures, there's no factual evidence. Oh well, maybe something else will come up on the subject and be better.

[Elizabeth]

I've gone a bit crazy since I got a Kindle for Christmas. Picked up quite a few books but I'm currently working on The Okapi Promise, by Paula Boer. Haven't gotten very far though because I'm still at my sisters until tomorrow.

I have the same thing since I got my Sony ereader. Suddenly I'm reading several books at once (and fast!), depending on the mood I'm in...
I almost finished girl with a pearl earring, still reading in Sense and Sensibility/Breaking Down and a few books with shorter stories/coloms

[Scott]

I just finished Wizard and Glass. This is really an epic story.

I think I'm going to read Catching Fire next.

I need something lighter to read and by that I mean about 400 pages lighter.

[Dana *]

Just started continuing my current zombie theme.
Finsihed and also working on and and

[Christy]

I'm reading A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. It's the second in a series and I am really loving it. But it's stressing me out because really awful things are happening to some of my favorite characters right now.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Reading Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, and enjoying it so far.

[Ruby]

Very interesting about the Roanoke story. My family comes from coastal northern NC, and there is a story come down on my mother's side of a very dry year in the swamps when hunters (great or great-great uncles of her father I believe) could go further on land than they ever remembered going before. Supposedly they found a tombstone that said Virginia Dare on it. Probably apocryphal but still fascinating to me.

Very interesting Ruby. My oldest son is the one who got me interested in this subject and now I have to find out more. LOL

[Paula]

I'm now reading "Finger Lickin' Fifteen" Janet Evanovich. I know I will like this one! LOL

[Madeline]

Christy, I think it is only a matter of weeks before I start A Game of Thrones. I've had it on my shelf for a couple years now, and with the new TV series coming out I'm itching to start it. Only draw back is I'm not sure I'm ready for such a dense read right now. Glad to see someone who likes it though, helps move me closer to picking it up!

I really enjoyed the first one, this one is ok so far, but it's not really pulling me in like the first one did. I am only about 50 pages into it though (before I fell asleep!) so hopefully it will pick up! I will still read her next two books regardless though.

[Kiki]

I'm reading "The Curse of the Wendigo" by Rick Yancey. So far it's not as engaging as Yancey's "Monstrumologist" which my HS students and I really liked.

Sorry to hear its a disappointment, Paula. It does sound like a good book by the title, but guess I'll pass this one by.

[Rosalie]

Currently I am reading I am taking a short break from English history & the Tudors. This book is a real page turner. It is set in Poland and follows a family of Jews trying to survive against first the Russians then the Nazis. I do not know if I would be as strong as Clara

[KHoopMan]

I just stated Son of a Witch. I seriously loved Wicked, so I have high hopes. There's a major snowstorm in New England- there's nothing better than getting cozy with a book while you're snowed in!

[Alicia]

I finished Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass and now I'm starting Everything That Rises Must Converge. I have heard good things about this one so I am really excited!

[Saffina]

I am just finishing Port Mortuary by Patricia Cornwell and then I will be starting Impeding Justice by fellow indie author, Mel Comley.

[Flora]

I loved that one too. You should continue with A Lion Among Men. I keep looking for the next one cuz surely it doesn't end here.

[for-much-deliberation]

Currently reading 'The Voyage Out' by Virginia Woolf

I started The Okapi Promise before Christmas but got sidetracked by all the festivities when I went to my sisters. Hoping to jump back into it.

I picked it up because I saw the HBO preview. I'm so glad I did. They are VERY long and involved books, but such good reads. It almost reads like historical fiction with a little fantasy thrown in.

[Alayna]

currently reading Apartment 16 so far quite interesting

[Maria]

i started The Privileges yesterday. i've heard mixed thoughts on this, and as i'm only 60 pages in, i'm not sure what to think just yet.

[Mary]

I'm reading The Lady in Red: An Eighteenth-Century Tale of Sex, Scandal, and Divorce. It's very well-written and not the least bit dry, which some historical non-fiction can be.

I am on page 809 of Pillars of the Earth, LOVING IT

[Tess]

I am reading Far fromt eh Madding Crowd, Only on page 75 but loving it

[Ruby]

still working on Scotland: The Story of a Nation. It is very entertaining and fun to read, which is good considering the size! It isn't exactly the story of Scotland - it isn't about the land and people really. It is exclusively about the powerful nobles, a few very prominent others, and the royal family. So, a political history. I had really no idea Scottish history was this wild.

[Susan]

I'm reading Between Sisters by Kristin Hannahand it has hooked me from page one!!

[Gemma]

I'm currently reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Going pretty well so far - just trying to decide which location in it to count towards my "round the world in 80 books" challenge!
