Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Started the book that was chosen this year in Dublin for 'One city, one book' Ghost Light. Finally I also started reading Notes from an Exhibition. Was afraid it was going to be on those long feeling, boring stories but I am really into it.

I hope you enjoy it! :) I just finished it, and it's very good. There's lots of good discussion happening on the Goodreads book club challenge page for the book, so check that out once you start reading. :)

message 25061: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) I finished all but one of the books I was reading:
Busy Body (Agatha Raisin, #21) by M.C. Beaton Finger Lickin' Fifteen (Stephanie Plum, #15) by Janet Evanovich The Quick and the Thread by Amanda Lee Extreme Measures (Mitch Rapp, #9) by Vince Flynn and enjoyed them all. Now, to finish Sew Deadly (A Southern Sewing Circle, #1) by Elizabeth Lynn Casey and start The Runaway Quilt (Elm Creek Quilts, #4) by Jennifer Chiaverini . Gotta pick a new audio, too--maybe Sweetwater Creek by Anne Rivers Siddons which I'm reading for a summer challenge.

and still listening to:
Moloka'i.

Also loved "The Giver". Glad you are enjoying them.

I finished [book:The Giver|3...

Yes, I liked "Gathering Blue" and "Messenger" was ok. "The Giver" was the best imo.



Cate (The Professional Fangirl) (chaostheory08) | 89 comments I am still on "The Devil Colony" by James Rollins. Up next on the nook is Songbird by Angela Fristoe .

I just finished Dark Matter Heart A Cor Griffin Bloodsuckers Novel (Volume 1) by Nathan Wrann for review considerations and posted it here: http://wp.me/p1CKWU-4e.

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Started
The Cricket on the Hearth , but ...well nothing really to say as for now I don't have a clue why I am reading it.

Finished Notes from an Exhibitionand loved it. Bought it because of te cover and title and it was so good to judge a book by its cover!


message 25092: by Mafi (new)

Mafi I'm reading Falling for You by Jill Mansell by Jill Mansell


message 25093: by Linda (last edited Jun 25, 2011 05:15AM) (new)

Linda | 887 comments I am reading Island Girl by Lynda Simmons , The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon , and Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls . Island Girl is pretty good. Not far enough along in the other two to comment. Also MP3ing Save Me by Lisa Scottoline. Interesting subject (alot of bullying on many levels), but have to say I don't understand the actions of some of the characters in the storyline. Seems to be a really rough world out there for kids and parents today. So harsh that I find myself wanting to talk back to some of them.


message 25094: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Stilwell (jennstilwell) Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill was on a few of the spooky lists posted in the group so I decided to give it a go. So far i'm impressed!
