Hi Susanna, the beginning is indeed slow but it changes later and you get two great stories which come together.

[Venuskitten]

I am reading Mr Briggs' Hat by Kate Colquhoun, the true story of the first murder (in1864) on a railway in England. Anyone who enjoyed The Suspiciions of Mr Whicher would like this.

[Susanna]

Hi Jeane! I'm hoping for the story to pick up soon. I'm getting a little tired of the slow exposition.

[Maria]

i finished Dating Big Bird by Laura Zigman today. i wasn't very impressed with it, so i'm glad it was short and only took me 2 days or so to finish it.

This one was good, but it can be slow at times. Another one where you think "Gee they coulda told that story with less pages!" but it does get better! Stick with it!! =)

[Joy]

Yesterday I hit the library and came out with a pretty good stack but I decided I would start with Safe Haven. I've not read a Sparks book for awhile, and needed something a bit light and easy. So far it seems pretty good!

[Susan]

I'm reading A Turn in the Road by Debbie Macomber book 8 in the Blossom Street series!! I love this series!!

Get well soon Catherine and in the meantime enjoy the book!!! This was the second book I read of this author and I noticed that for me the author seems to write in a way that is very catchy!!

Let's see, I'm currently reading Cezanne's Quarry and enjoying it so far. I'm about 1/3 of the way though. I'm also reading The Alchemyst, which I am loving. He'll by visiting our local Barnes & Noble on May 29th, as part of his tour for the next book in this series. I'm looking forward to meeting this wonderful writer. The third book on my nightstand isCry of the Icemark, I'm enjoying, but haven't been giving it much time lately with everything else I have going. I'm listening to The Wise Man's Fear, in the car, and i can say that Day 2 is as good as Day 1 was, at least to this point. God I love books.

[Patricia]

I finished Nomad by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Next will be We Are All Welcome Here by Elizabeth Berg.

[Linda]

Just finished reading . Gave it a 5. While an older book, Lehane has it all going. Humor, intensity and plenty of bad guys who could have done the deed.

[Patricia]

I finished We Are All Welcome Here by Elizabeth Berg. A quick read, sweet story. Next I'm on to Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Sherrilyn Kenyon

[Amber]

Reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. I am having a love/hate relationship with this book, It seems like I love one chapter and hate the next one. I haven't had a lot of time to read lately but I am hoping to have it finished this week and see how I feel once it is completed. I am also reading The Iron Queen, I am enjoying it more than the 2nd one so far!

[Flora]

I recently finished The Wise Man's Fear as well as The Purple Emperor and enjoyed them both. I'm just getting started on Jurassic Park and really like it so far.

[Angela]

I am finishing up The Count of Monte Cristo

[Amber]

I just purchased
Jurassic Park a couple of weeks ago, haven't had a chance to read it yet but I think I might read it next, Hope you enjoy it :)

[Lorraine]

I just finished Maeve Binchy's latest "Minding Frankie". Very satisfying read, and characters from Heart and Soul, Quentin's and Scarlett Feather cropped up as usual. I am currently reading Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane - it's very good, so was interested to see Scared reviewed above. I just bought that at a 2nd hand shop.

[Deepti]

I m currently reading Under the banner of heaven by Jon Krakauer. He is one of my fav author and have read Into Thin Air and Into the wild and loved it..

I'm almost half way thru it and I really like it so far. Apparently they followed the book closely when they made the movie which is usually not the case.

I loved Jurassic Park as the movie! I'll run to the library now...never occured to me it was based off a book *face palm

[MissSusie]

I am reading/Listening The House at Rivertonby, Kate Morton I am enjoying it it kind of reminds me of Downton Abbey & Upstairs, Downstairs.

I had never thought about it either until I ran across The Lost World at a library book sale so I knew book one should be easy to find. So far its very much like the movie.

[Devin]

I just finished The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. It was a fun read, very quirky characters.

I am debating now whether I want to read A Confederacy of Dunces or Oryx and Crake next. Any opinions?

I've recently been amazed at how many movies I love were based off of books. My reading list is growing by leaps and bounds!

[Angela]

I am reading Showdownby Ted Dekker.

[cazdoll]

I'm reading this is my second attempt at it :)

I finished Red yesterday. It ended in a cliffhanger. I'll have to finish the trilogy soon.

Then I started Hearts In Atlantis.

[Susan]

I'm finally getting back to reading Shelter Mountain by Robyn Carr--I am loving this series!!

I highly recommend it!

[Flora]

I just finished Jurassic Park and must say I loved it. It such a fun read. I'm now just getting started on Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution

[Ioana]

I am reading Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. It's a great book, and I feel like both devouring it and slowly reading it, to prolong the enjoyment. Weird, right?

[Patricia]

I finished Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult which I enjoyed. Next I'm going to read Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.

[Claire]

I'm still reading Jane Eyre and really enjoying it so far.

[ILoveBooks]

you have to pick up the others in the Spellman series. they are just as funny and quirky as the first one.

[Maria]

i finished The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag from Alan Bradley, and i liked it just as much as the first one.

i started The Art of Racing in the Rain for our library book group. not sure what think; it's engaging, but i'm not big on animal-as-narrator, so we'll see what happens with it.

[southpaw285]

I just started a biography - Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix by Charles R. Cross.

[Esther]

I just finished Q and A by Vikas Swarup. It was an interesting story well told but not nearly as dramatic as the film.

[Ana]

I recently started Daughter of the Forest.
