[Patricia]

I finished I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith which I definitely liked. Now I'm moving onto Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri.

[tiasreads]

I tried reading TC Boyle's "The Women", about Frank Lloyd Wright, but I just couldn't get into it. It assumed too often that you knew who obscure people and events were in the time period. And FLW comes off as an egomaniacal jerk. So I'm going to try either Roses or Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart: A Novel.

Flora, if you enjoy a little different take on the Robin Hood story, you might like the BBC's recent TV series "Robin Hood". It was pretty fun.

How do the Dexter books compare to the show in terms of characters? I love the show because of the personalities on it.

[Katherine]

Finished "I'll Walk Alone" by Mary Higgins Clark yesterday. I thought I knew what was going on but was in for a surprise. Now onto "Miles to Go" by Richard Paul Evans (sequel to "The Walk"). It pulls you right in.

Would love to be able to watch that sometime.

I'm currently about 1/4 of the way into The Wise Man's Fear and so far I like it as well as the first in this series. I've also just started The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and finding it really interesting.

[Judy]

Currently reading The King's Speech and Wench...enjoying both...talk about a cultural gap -- the distance between those two is vast. Also started The Bones of Avalon -- Just finished and loved Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen and Little Bee, and two audio books by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes...Mother Night and Dangerous Old Women

Ah, books are so wonderful...the only thing better than a good book is a good book on my kindle!

[Alayna]

just started reading Blackwater by: Conn Iggulden

[Julie]

I just started reading The Garden Spells today, I am enjoying it so far so that's good. I just finished Betty White Here I am again and it was great.

[Krys]

Finished Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld yesterday and began the next book, Behemoth today. I'm also reading Ghost Trap and one of Kevin J Anderson's books, too. :o)

[Susanna]

Finished Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. Not really my thing but I'll probably give him another try. Now, I'm finally starting Stephen King's The Shining .

[Claire]

One of my favorite Stephen King books, Susanna! Be prepared to be scared!!!!

[Maria]

i started The Woman in White today at lunch. i didn't get far, but i can tell it's going to take a bit to get into. at least that's my first impression.

[Mafi]

From Dead to Worse by CH

[Gitte]

Mafalda wrote: "From Dead to Worse by CH"

After season one, the series departs almost completely from the books. The main character is in keeping with the book, as is his sister, but after that, its pretty much all new stuff. But the season with John Lithgow is fantastic.

It took me a while also Maria but once I got into it, I did enjoy the story. It still seems like the longest book I ever read, but the story was good. : )

[Brandi]

I am reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold, The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton and Lucky by Alice Sebold.

[Paula]

I loved "Water for Elephants" and after stewing on it, I did like "The Almost Moon". Very thought provoking book.

[Patricia]

I finished Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri and next will readFalling Man by Don DeLillo.

[Rebecca]

I have finished Lover Revealed Undead and Unreturnable Beyond the Highland Mist Tales from the Terrific Register: The Book of Ghosts One Foot in the Grave
and I am reading Kushiel's Dart and Red-Headed Stepchild

[Beth]

I'm reading Deborah Coonts's Wanna Get Lucky? and I'm finding it to be a lot of fun. I needed a light read after Emma Donoghue's Room and before delving into the second book of the GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO trilogy: The Girl Who Played with Fire

[Allison]

I just finished A Million Little Pieces which I enjoyed more than I expected to. Now I'm starting Children of the Resolution.

I thought the stories were entertaining. A nice glimpse into Indian culture within the US however not always very uplifting storylines. Enjoy!

[Maria]

I just finished reading "Somthing Blue". At first I did not like it but as Darcy's character became more mature, I started enjoying more the book. I kept reading because I wanted to see what happened at the end. I just saw an ad on TV for a new movie being released in May --"Something Borrowed".

Sounds interesting! I'm glad it found it entertaining! :) I'm looking forward to it.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Charlaine Harris

[Jeane]

I finished another Cornelia Funke book The Thief Lord and I start to reallya dore her books. Fourth book and all absolutely great. Into the second part of Mussolini.

[Scott]

I just finished A Game of Thrones.

Now I'm going to start Death Mask. My first foray into Masterton.

[LindaD]

Finished Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.
Starting White Ghost Girls by Alice Greenway. oops, I realized I already read a book from china, no time to repeat countries on this challenge!
Continuing Three To Get Deadly by Janet Evanovich.
Starting(again)The Invisible Mountain by Carolina De Robertis

[Alex]

I'm about halfway through Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, and am hoping to get through The White Queen by Philippa Gregory too. Not off to a great start as I'm not getting on with the voice very well but I love a bit of historical romance based around the monarchy so will keep on trucking with it.

[Jeane]

I seem to really like Philippa Gregory's books but ouch I had to drag me through Alice's adventures. I took me such a long time and I really didn't like it.

[Paula]

I'm reading "The #1 Ladies Detective Agency" Alexander McCall Smith. I started it about a week or so ago and couldn't get into it but I think I was in a slump. I tried again and am now enjoying it.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Scott Westerfeld

[Paula]

What did you think of A Game of Thrones? It's one of my all time favorites!! Did you catch the HBO's premiere of A Game of Thrones? Did you like it?

[Flora]

I started City of Fallen Angels yestarday and don't like alot being finished with it. Its been really good so far just a little too much teen drama for my taste.

[Maria]

I sdded another book to my list of "to read", Learning to Die in Miami.

[Wendy Fee]

I'm currently reading Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. My husband has been trying to convince me for years to read this book (or any other by Mr. Moore!).

[John]

I'm reading Noble House by James Clavell. It's the first Clavell book I've tried, and I'm addicted. People say Shogun is even better.

[Dana *]

I am reading The Night Season (Gretchen Lowell, #4). I enjoyed the first two quite a bit, the third in the series less so, but let us see what is next for poor Archie.

[Flora]

I finished City of Fallen Angels and when it was all said and done I was pretty disappointed. Too much teen love life drama and not enough cohesive storyline.

[Matt]

I've recently finished Wolves of the Calla and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and started up The Maverick Experiment and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: And Other Tales of Terror.

[Scott]

I just finished Death Mask and will start Mockingjay later today.

[Dani]

I'm currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and loving it!
