Just finished Room by Emma Donoghue. I've been so busy with my own writing, I wasn't able to get to this wonderful book till just last week. What a touching story, and so thought provoking. I had no idea what direction the author would take. She brings you right smack into the lives of two very emotionally detailed characters. I became attached to both mother and son almost immediately. Room is a great read.

[Betsy]

Finished Ghost Moon by Karen Robards. It was pretty involved for a Romance,but in the end, that's what it was,and so it only got 3 stars from me

[Jack]

More like trying very hard to concentrate reading it. It's not easy with all the gory details...

you could try London from Edward Rutherford. it starts really, really, really far back and moves through the history of the city by telling the story of inter-related characters and families. all of his historical fiction that i've read have been awesome.

you could also look in to books from David Liss. his stories center on late 17th/early 18th century, and the changing economic and social climates of england, and to some extent america.

if you are willing to read historical romance, check out Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation series. they are too serious (they are romance books after all) but they are set around the time of the Napoleonic wars, so you can learn some good stuff in those also about the ways of society.

The teacher from my last course suggested I read it so I picked up Understanding Color: An Introduction for Designers, 2nd Edition by Linda Holtzschue.

I'm also browsing through 101 Action Movies You Must See Before You Die .

I don't have anything literal going right now. I finished The Historian a few days ago and I have to say I did not really care for it. Next, I'm going to pick up Uncle Stephen's Pet Sematary for a re-read.

[Natalie]

I'm almost done with Sense and Sensibility which has proved to be a surprisingly delightful read. I so enjoyed reading it I'm going to read the rest of Jane Austen's works soon.

I started The Winter of Our Discontent but got too caught up in S&S to get very far. As soon as I finish S&S I'm going to get back to this; Steinbeck is a favourite of mine^^

Sense and Sensibility is my favorite Jane Austin book!

[Angela]

I am almost done with Dreams of Joy: A Novel, and i'm really liking it :)

[Patricia]

I finishedThe Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro which I thought was really well written and contained an interesting character study. Next I'm reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.

[Angela]

I just finished Dreams of Joy: A Novel. Now I decided to go back to my inner child, and read Ozma of Oz:)

[Paula]

I've just started "Finding Jack" Gareth Crocker.

[Angela]

I am currently reading Pygmalion. I like the movie My Fair Lady, so we'll see how this book compares.

[Lauren]

I just finished Days of Magic, Nights of War by Clive Barker and loved it even more than the first Abarat book! I will now start Land of the Lost Souls by Cadillac Man!

[Yassemin]

I'm reading Kay Scarpetta 10- The Last Precinct and Robinson Crusoe

[Scott]

I just finished Ghost Road Blues. I was really impressed by Maberry's writing.

[Flora]

I'm currently just over half way thru The Secret Garden

[ILoveBooks]

The Last of The Little Blue Envelopes :) Maureen Johnson

[Alex]

Mistress of the Art of Death, which is heading towards being a solid four-star read, and one I'm enjoying!

Hopefully completing it and starting Skippy Dies in the next few days.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Jill Mansell

[Lauren]

I just started The Devil's Star by Jo Nesbø yesterday after work and I am already half way through it! I can't stop! I finished Land of The Lost Souls by Cadillac Man yesterday and it was really good too!

[Ahuva]

I'm reading "The Lost Labyrinth" by Will Adams.

[Simone]

I just started reading Torn by Amanda Hocking.

[Allison]

I just finished Tabloid City: A Novel, which was quite good. Now I'm starting Incognito and Mini Shopaholic. :)

[Angela]

I am just starting The Priest's Graveyard. I typically love anything written by Ted DeKker, so I hope this isn't a let down.

[Mafi]

by Karen Marie Moning

[Angela]

So I finally finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. It seemed like it took forever to read, but I kept myself from reading it quite a few times cause I didn't want to see it end. Right now I'm starting Labors of Love to help fuel my other habits, and Dead Until Dark to carry around with me.

[Kelly]

I am about half-way through Jane Eyre. I have been reading it slowly to savor it, since it has taken me this long to get around to reading it. Next up is One Day, then hopefully I will be next on the list at the library for the latest Sookie Stackhouse book. After that I am thinking The Shadow of the Wind.

[Angela]

I really enjoyedThe Shadow of the Wind. One of the few books that I just couldn't put down. The second book The Angel's Game, seemed very much the same, but he has a good rhythm.

[Kelly]

That's great to hear! I have had it on my nightstand forever, but the lure of picking up new library books always wins out, lol.

[Marla]

I finally finished Tempted by P.C. Cast. I will be starting The Unsung Hero by Suzanne Brockmann. I am also still reading The Reason for God by Timothy Keller.

[Gabriella]

I did read about 30 pages of Testament: A Novel by Nino Ricci but I put it down, I think I'm going to save that for another time. Now, I'm reading The Prison Angel: Mother Antonia's Journey from Beverly Hills to a Life of Service in a Mexican Jail
by Mary Jordan.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Cassandra Clare

[Scott]

Yesterday, I finished Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings. I love his books.

This morning, I started reading Relic. This is my first read from this series. Not very far but intriguing so far.

[Gabriella]

ummmmmmm........ how come there`s nobody else posting on here?

[Chantelle]

I just finished The Commoner: A Novel and Room and loved both of them. Now I'm casting about for something to read. Hm...

i *loved* the Mistress of the Art of Death series. the characters were fabulous!

[Maria]

i finally was able to find the time to finish The Book Thief. excellent story and so well written.

i started The Forgotten Garden and am totally loving it. i need to go to bed, so i won't allow myself to pick it up tonight, because i would never get to sleep for wanting to keep going!

[Patricia]

I finally finished Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. I enjoyed it (definitely didn't read like a non-fiction). Next I'm going to read People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks.

[Flora]

I'm currently half way thru

[Beth]

I'm taking a break from mysteries to read a couple of romance novels, one by Debbie Macomber and one by Mary Jo Putney. They both write well, but I prefer Mary Jo's writing by far. Her book will probably get 4 stars from me, while Debbie's got 3.

[Karen M]

Almost done with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and just started The Gallows Murders.

[Rayna]

Patricia, I absolutely love People of the Book. I read it a while ago and just recently bought a copy for myself and started reading it again. I hope you like it!

[Leslie T.]

I'm reading Bossypants by Tina Fey. And I guess technically I'm in the middle of Love in the Time of Cholera but I can't make myself finish it.

[Allison]

I just finished Mini Shopaholic, which I really enjoyed... I always love Sophie Kinsella's books. Now I'm starting The Help, which I've heard loads of great things about.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Cassandra Clare

[Angela]

I just finished The Priest's Graveyard, and I am just starting Dorothy And the Wizard in Oz(I know it's a kid book, but I always wanted to read the whole series, and I figured I might as well read it now).
