I hear such good things about that book. It is tempting. Enjoy!

I thought this one looked very good Nicole, glad you're liking it.

[Jane]

Still reading The Tiger's Wife, and really liking it... but not having quite the time/energy to put in that it requires.
Plus, The King of Plagues came in for me unexpectedly early at the library, so I'm trying to finish before it is due.
And... I should probably start The Sun Also Rises soon, because my bookclub is meeting to discuss it... this weekend.
I forsee a lot of reading in my near future. A good thing!

[Rebecca]

I have finished The Virgin's Lover Undead and Unpopular To Die For Red-Headed Stepchild Very Bloody History of Britain (Without the Boring Bits!) : (Without Jane Eyre Vampire Diaries: The Return - Midnight Angel Kids Lenora
and I have started The Lunatic Cafe

[Susan]

Am also reading this book and it has a grip that just won't let you go. I am also reading Paul Auster's The Book of Illusions and am torn between the two.

[Gitte]

I'm reading Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis.

[Donna]

Just started to read 1916: A Novel of the Irish Rebellion and so far VERY good! Let's hope it stays this way!

[Allison]

I just finished Children of the Resolution and now I'm starting The Better Mother, which I won through First Reads.

[Karen M]

Still reading Poisoned Pins and started Just Kids which I am having trouble putting down.

[Mary]

Just started Super Sad True Love Story and am loving it so far. I'm also reading How to Really Love Your Child.

I hope you're enjoying it as much as I did! It had a fast pace to it, but not necessarily in a bad way. It just sucked you in and didn't let go until the very last page :) Enjoy!

[Angela]

Right now, i'm trying to finish up Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolutionso I can then finish The Count of Monte Cristo. After that, I am not sure what I will read next.

[Jeane]

After finishing my book about Mussolini, my first book for May will be Fuori da un evidente destino by Giorgio Faletti. Not sure if this one is translated, hopefully it is because he writes great books.

[Lianne]

I am currently reading Yukako Kabei's Kieli, Vol. 3: Prisoners Bound for Another Planet at the moment (in preparation for volume 4 which just came out last week). It's pretty good so far (as always); I love how it can be a mix of a heart-warming tale with bouts of melancholy throughout...

[Lori, Super Mod]

Hey guys! I just wanted to pop over and let you know that those of you who have or will be reading THE BIRD SISTERS can join us here for the discussion has started!!!

I am currently reading Sophomoric Philosophy by Victor David Giron.

[Janny]

I finished Fledgling (Theo Waitley, #1) for a comfort read to relax, and am now starting The Salt Road, which has opened beautifully. I loved this author's former work, The Tenth Gift, so I expect this one will be well done, too.

Our neighborhood book club is reading Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before, and meets Friday, so I'm about a quarter of the way done that one. The juxtaposition of past and present impressions is quite interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes wrenching.

[Jack]

It'll take me at least a week to finish this one...

[Dana *]

I just finished The Night Season (Gretchen Lowell, #4) and thought it was ok. Not about Gretchen this time, just Archie. Anyone else reading this series?
Now trying to get interested in The World House.

And still listening to We Need to Talk About Kevin.

[Alex]

Just finished my current read, and I think I'm going to start Water for Elephants as my next.

Also have The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements on the go as a non-fiction to dip in and out of. The chemistry can be pretty complex though, so I have to be in the right mood!

How are you finding We Need to Talk About Kevin, Dana? A former colleague was telling me about it a while back and it's something I might like to read.

[Lisa]

I have read this series as well. The latest was OK, but not as good as the previous.

[Paula]

I'm reading "The Bird House" Kelly Simmons. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I just read that one over last weekend and loved it. A fast, enjoyable read!

Since then I've read a rom suspense I liked, Protecting Plain Jane by Julie Miller, and a mystery I didn't much care for, Faux Finished by Peg Marberg. Now I am reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and thoroughly enjoying it.

[Linda]

So when I began reading I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was drawn in to the 1930's depression era in the mountains of North Carolina.

Then I became engrossed in a number of other books and let it slide for awhile. About midpoint I was thinking so okay this seems to be dragging, but maybe it is just me and being distracted by other books.

Now I am about 50 pages from the end and can't seem to put it down. I guess you just have to ride the rollercoaster all the way around to appreciate the end of the ride.

[Lianne]

Despite still working on my thesis big time, I've started reading a number of books: Bob Ong's MACARTHUR, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina (at long last!!!) and Sarah Bradford's George VI (inspired after watching The King's Speech twice now xD)

[Karen M]

Yesterday I started Tell Me Where It Hurts: A Day of Humor, Healing and Hope in My Life as an Animal Surgeon. Reminds me of the James Herriot books and I get a definite impression that Dr. Nick Trout may have been influenced in career choice by the All Creatures Great and Small TV series.

I bet it is hard to read, just length, and format of letters. Hearing it is much easier. It probably could be way shorter, but listening to the narrator build up to discussing the important question, is fascinating. I am on 9/16 disc. I have not found a character to like at all, but the description of situations is really heart wrenching. I do want to make it to the end.
I think that describes a good book!!

[MissSusie]

I am currently listening to The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by, Rebecca Skloot it is very fascinating!

Also reading Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's by, John Elder Robinson

Don't know why I ended up with 2 non-fiction at once I think because I finished The Bird Sisters and knew that right now no other fiction is going to live up to it so needed a bit of a departure.

[ILoveBooks]

I just finished reading Waterfall: Lisa Tawn Bergren!

[Mafi]

I just started by Sherrilyn Kenyon :D

[Allison]

I just finished The Better Mother by Jen Sookfong Lee, which was very good. Now I'm starting Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda.

[Brenda]

I just started this evening, The Bird Sisters, I enjoyed the first chapter.

[Anna]

I've had this on my shelf for ages and haven't gotten around to reading it. I shall be interested to hear what you think of it.

[Gitte]

I started Gone With the Wind last night.

[David]

I just picked up Scott Nicholson's Liquid Fear. Great start so far.

[Meg]

I've always been intimidated by that book. It's on my list of books to read at some point but I'm going to need to gather my courage first...

[Maria]

i'm going to try to finish The Woman in White tonight. i have about pages left, so it's ambitious of me to try finishing it tonight.

i have a few books to choose from when i'm done, but i'm thinking i'll start with the second Flavia book.

[Sarazen]

I just finished Travels with Charley: In Search of America which was outstanding. I'm still working on The Forgotten Garden, and I'm gonna start Tulipmania: Money, Honor, and Knowledge in the Dutch Golden Age I also picked up The Ghost Trap but I think it may be a week or so til I get a chance to get that underway. Much like the time that I loaded up a good 2 quarters of mashed potatoes on my plate though, I think my eyes may be a little bigger than my stomach. Saying incantations for speedy reading!

[LindaD]

started working on these for the next week:
The Invisible Mountain fin 5/4/11
The Bone People
High Five fin 5/5/11
The Graveyard Book

finished The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao yesterday

[Scott]

Yesterday, I finished American Gods. Great book. I really love Gaiman's writing.

Now, I'm continuing The Circle Trilogy: The Complete Trilogy in One Epic Edition. I'm onto the second book in the series: Red.

[Patricia]

I finished Outlander by Diana Gabaldon and now am reading Nomad by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

[Karen M]

I'm reading You're Next which is very good.

[Dani]

I just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins which was absolutely phenomenal and just started The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett for this TNBBC's May read.

[Chris]

I just finished The Hunger Games. I liked it, but not enough to start the next book in the series. I'll give it a few weeks.

I just bought Mistress of the Art of Death I'm looking forward to starting that tonight.

[Carla]

I am reading The Art of War and The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, Revised Edition. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind is a good read but as a Christian I don't agree with all of his tactics. I would love to discuss this book with anyone else who has read it. Thanks

I read Hunger Games about 9 months ago - a doozie!

Pillars of the Earth has been taken up by another discussion group here, I think. Might do it again - still have it on audio.

[Susanna]

So far about 100 pages into The Historian . Intriguing but a little slow. I'm interested in the history but vampires are not really my thing so the legend feels kind of blasé for me.

[Paula]

I'm reading "In Plain Sight" Lorena McCourtney on my kindle.
