Betsy (mistymtladi) | 511 comments Stared reaing The Robber Bride by Atwell. I'm finding it funny so far. I expected it to be more preachy like Cat's Eye,so I'm pleased.

message 23961: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Sword of the Prophet: The Mahdi of Sudan and the Death of General Gordon, half way and really interesting and very well written. Also started finally Suite Française. Not sure what I think about it for now. There is a lot of describing but not so much happened yet.


message 23962: by Christy (new)

Christy | 181 comments I couldn't get through Suite Française. I thought all of the characters were incredibly unlikable.


message 23963: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Mmmm, for now the characters feel all a bit....empty, maybe unlikable like you said. I hope the story gets better though, fuller. I mean the name this book has, I need to get more than what i got for now!


message 23964: by Alicia (new)

Alicia (kalypso) | 102 comments I am still reading Everything That Rises Must Converge. I am really enjoying it. It's totally different from what I expected. I just wish I had more time to read. Life keeps getting in the way.


message 23965: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne (thisoilfieldwife) | 134 comments I just started reading The Kitchen House, and have a feeling I will be done with it very soon! Such a great choice for the book club here at TNBBC. I can't wait to start discussing it!

Bridgit | 475 comments Been gone a while, but back to posting!

I'm reading The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America and really enjoying so far! About 1/3 of the way into it. I love this sort of well written micro-history!

I like how you have your order planned. I can't think that far ahead, there are so many books I want to read!

Dani (The Pluviophile Writer) (pluviophilewriter) | 237 comments Ha ha thanks Alicia! I have a flare and a passion for organzing so I get some sort of sick joy out of having my reading list planned out lol.


message 23974: by Flora (new)

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) I finished Helen of Troy and absolutely loved it. I really hated to see the book end.

Now I am almost finished with City of Bones which has been ok. Its not great on the scale of Helen of Troy but its not just horrible either.


message 23975: by Tess (new)

Tess Mertens-Johnson | 1411 comments The Book Thief is one of my favorites


message 23976: by Brenda (new)

Tess Mertens-Johnson | 1411 comments I just started "Oh my Stars" by Lorna Landvik and am into it. I am from MN, like her, so I can relate to how she says things and the area


message 23983: by Alisha Marie (new)

Alisha Marie (endlesswonderofreading) | 715 comments I finished Saving Ceecee Honeycutt and thought it was great. Now, I'll probably start The Historian.


message 23984: by Renee (new)

Renee (pontiacgal501) | 70 comments I'm currently reading Along Came A Spider by James Patterson. I started reading this book and remembered I saw the movie but can't remember what happened. It's a little slow right now but I hope it gets better.

Next I will read:
The Shack by Wm. Paul Young
The Red Tent by Anita Diamant

Natalie (aquariusnat) | 41 comments I'm about to start Gulliver's Travels .


message 23986: by Amber (new)

Amber | 11 comments I just started Moon Called by Patricia Briggs this afternoon, It's okay so far. I just finished Shadowfever by Karen Moning and so far Moon Called isn't half as enjoyable to me as Shadowfever was!


message 23987: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 212 comments Well how can you expect anything to live up to shadowfever. It was epic! But I hope you enjoy moon called. It's the only mercy thompson I've read, but I liked it. But I read it before shadowfever so...


message 23988: by Amber (new)

Amber | 11 comments That is what I am afraid of Jennifer....that nothing will EVER live up to Shadowfever. :)


message 23989: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 212 comments Well this is Barrons we're talking about!


message 23990: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments I just finished the non-fiction book Sword of the Prophet: The Mahdi of Sudan and the Death of General Gordon and it was great! It is written in such an intertaining, understandable way and soooo interesting.


message 23991: by Lekeshua (last edited Jan 23, 2011 12:03PM) (new)

Lekeshua | 40 comments I am juggling a couple right now. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which I am enjoying but this one question is stuck in my head. Would society be so accepting of the Bennet girls learning and pursuing the dark arts? I know during that time period women become accomplished by learning art, music and languages. Nothing physical and fighting which at that time is a considered a male past time. Second Uncle Silas, which is okay. And third A Game of Thrones to get prepared for watching the series on HBO. Enjoying it so far but a very slow read so that I don't miss anything.


message 23992: by Julie (new)

Julie  | 39 comments I am reading Winter Garden and I am completely engrossed!! It was a bit of a slow start for me for about 50 pages, but then it took off and I had a hard time putting it down. I have 70 pages left of 400. I am a very slow reader, but I hope to finish it today! Excellent Read!!

i LOVED The Red Tent. i read it about 7 years ago, and it still sticks in my mind. you'll enjoy it, it's well written, and very informative as well.


message 23998: by Ruby (new)

Ruby Hollyberry | 60 comments I'm reading several other things as well, currently, but really trying to finish up my library books. I'm in the middle of two of them: In The Forests of Serre (liking it as I nearly always do the author's books) and Tender Morsels (not liking nearly as much).

The other library books waiting are:

House of Many Gods: A Novel, CHICAGO, Tarzan of the Apes, and Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux.

I'm also reading one of my favorite children's books aloud to my husband, who hasn't read it before: The Apple Stone


message 23999: by Katie (new)

Katie I just started reading The Gargoyle. My friend recommended it and I told him I'd give it a try. I was just wondering if there was anyone else here that had read it and would recommend reading it.

I read it a couple of months ago. I wasn't that excited about it, but it was OK.
