Now reading The Emperor's Tomb by Steve Berry. I won this from Goodreads First reads. This is the first Steve Berry book I've read and it is really a page turner.

How do you like Zadie Smith? I have On Beauty sitting on my tightly squeezed bookshelf, but I've been reluctant to read it due to some bad experiences of other friends. However, they are not really big readers, so I don't know!

[Kelsey]

I'm currently halfway through Yukio Mishima's The Sound of Waves. Normally I don't enjoy the "coming of age" stories, but his imagery of the ocean and nature is quite beautiful and makes me wish I was sitting on the beach witnessing this story.

[Patricia]

I finished The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery which I wasn't crazy about. Now I'm moving on to The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson.

[Tess]

I just Started "Stalking Susan' by Julie Kramer

i LOVED The Gargoyle. still one of the best books i've ever read. slightly disturbing, and occasionally tough to read, but so worth it. i hope you enjoy it!

[Maria]

i'm kind of in a reading slump. i've started 3 books this week, Lark and Termite, The Zookeeper's Wife, and Misguided Angel and not one of them has really grabbed me. this is unusual, so i'm not sure what to do about it. i may just scrap them all and try a new set of choices. of course, The Zookeeper's Wife is for a book group, so i'll to read that one sooner rather than later.

[Petra]

Maria, I just compared books with you.
Of the books we've both read, our ratings are very similar. Going by that, I would recommend you read Child 44. It's on your TBR list, it's fast paced and it's a good story.

[Jeff]

Just started reading Evil Plans: Having Fun on the Road to World Domination, by Hugh MacLeod, which I won on a Goodreads giveaway!

[Gitte]

I'm reading A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore - I needed something light and fun after reading Virginia Woolf ;-)

I really enjoyed this mystery. Hope you enjoy it.

Oooh, thanks Petra that is good to know. I finally finished it, but it really was like pulling teeth. I will give the third book a shot to see if the series can win my affections back.

I have had to push Room slightly down the list becase I won a FirstReads copy of Townie by Andre Dubus III so I am about to start that now. After that, onto Room.

[Scott]

I'm going to start Coraline. My son is reading it so I figured that I might as well read it also.

[Betsy]

About 1/2 way through Dangerous Heat by Jance. It was good enough to inspire a copycat dream when i fell asleep reading it last night!

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Don't have a fiction going, and am contemplating Burr, by Gore Vidal.

[Susanna]

I started Under Fire: A Century Of War Movies last week when I went home, and I'm about to start Uncle Stephen's Just After Sunset which is actually a re-read.

[Allison]

Ugh, I'm glad to hear you guys struggled to get through Dragonfly In Amber too. I've been plugging away at it for months, and just can't get into it. I keep putting it down and reading other stuff. Bah. Glad it's not just me.

How are the rest in the series, Petra? Is it worth continuing on to the next books? I loved Outlander so much, it sucks that this one is so slow.

[Petra]

It will restore your affections, of that I have faith. It's a great series (although I haven't read A Breath Of Snow And Ashes yet or any beyond that).

[Petra]

Definitely. Although this one is slow, there's a few important characters and events that influence the story later on. But that whole French court thing was boring, dull, yawn! Pay attention to the people and events, rather than the historical aspect.

[Paula]

I'm going to start "Brimstone" Preston/Child tonight.

[Mary]

Susanna wrote: "Don't have a fiction going, and am contemplating Burr, by Gore Vidal."

My husband loved Burr! I haven't read it, myself, though I've read other books by Vidal and have Lincoln on my TBR list.

Currently I'm reading In the Time of the Butterflies and Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories.

[Scott]

I'm going to start The Running Man on the way home.

[Janny]

I am reading The Bards of Bone Plain, which is, as always for Patricia McKillip, wonderful.

Next up for our local book club is The Help, which is great, I've wanted to read that for awhile, now I can put priority on it.

I agree w/Petra too. I have read all of them up to "A Breath of Snow and Ashes." I found that "The Fiery Cross" was a bit slow for me, but the rest of the series is fabulous IMO.

[Donna]

Now finishingout the Lucy Valentine Series with Absolutely, Positively. I need a little chicklit now and then.

[Kelly]

I am almost finished with Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (holy cow what an amazing story!!!) and will pick up Clockwork Angel next, which I am REALLY excited about b/c I loved the Mortal Instruments series.

[Flora]

Kelly, I thought that Clockwork Angel was even better than MI series.

[Dana *]

I am reading as well as , and filling in the gaps with and Eaters: The Beginning

[Kelly]

I have heard that from other people as well, that makes me even more excited!

Kelly, it's true that the story drags a bit in The Fiery Cross but the information we get about the Time Travel phenomenon made the book worth it. Also, Ian becomes a much larger character and I like him so I was glad about that.
....I really need to read A Breath of Snow And Ashes sooner rather than later.

I know what you're saying... :) I personally, always grab Sophie Kinsella or Marian Keyes when I'm in need :)

[Flora]

I just finished Tehanu and really loved it.

I'm gonna try to finish Kraken and then start The Wise Man's Fear

[Sarah]

I'm about halfway through The Help for my book club next week, and I'm loving it! Very well written and a really interesting plot.

[Alayna]

about a third into Here We Go Again

[Patricia]

I finished The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson which I really enjoyed. It's an unique and entertaining read! Now I've moved on to By the Light of My Father's Smile by Alice Walker. Very sexual in nature so far.

[Betsy]

I am 50 or so pages shy of finishing Dangerous Heat by Jance. So tonight when I go home that's the first thing I'll do and the start A HitchHiker's Guide to the universe which I have wanted to read for ages.

[Linda]

Just finished Blood Memory by Greg Iles and gave it a 3.6. Better in the end than in the beginning. But I guess that is what you might want in a mystery.
