Lianne (eclecticreading) I am currently reading:

- Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov (at long last I've cracked it open)
- Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora (I'm actually re-reading it; it's been a long time and I was in the mood for a good fantasy)

message 25110: by Ioana (new)

Ioana I picked at random a book from my Kindle, that I got for free some time ago: Genghis: Birth of an Empire. It's really good, and I enjoy it a lot. It seems this is a series, so I'll probably get the next one(s) too.

Heart-Shaped Box was good but I thought Horns was even better.

Angela, did you enjoy "The Friday Night Knitting Club"? I liked it when I read it and just finished "Knit Two".



message 25127: by Heather L (last edited Jun 28, 2011 08:33PM) (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) Yulande: I read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader earlier this month, two more to go in my (re)read of the series. I hope you enjoy(ed) it!

Have also read books five and six of the Harry Potter series this month, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. One more to go before the last movie comes out!

Picked up a shorter one before hitting the last HP, Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet by M.C. Beaton.

message 25129: by Agnieszka (new)

Agnieszka Mauch (wolfandwords) I'm currently reading:

To the Lighthouse
The Good Thief's Guide to Paris (which is less entertaining than I expected and I've already skipped a couple of pages. Alas.
And 'Ten Little Niggers' by Agatha Christie. The search option can't provide me with a link to this book. I hope I'll manage to uncover the culprit this time!

The reason you can't find 'Ten Little Niggers' is that it is also titled 'And Then There Were None'. That book went through a couple of title changes: TLN to Ten Little Indians and then, at least in the US it became And Then There Were None. There may have been other iterations in other countries and other times. The changes were due to sensitivities to certain words in the titles. You must have a very old copy of the book! Enjoy!

Thank you for the information, dear! There's a copy on Goodreads, though. I have it on my 'currently reading' list in my profile but somehow I couldn't find the link to it while posting here.
Actually, I have a Polish version in which the original English title is also presented. :)


message 25137: by Flora (new)

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) I finished A Reluctant Queen The Love Story of Esther by Joan Wolf and really enjoyed it. I'm currently about half way thru The Three Musketeers and am wondering if this book ever ends.


message 25138: by Agnieszka (last edited Jun 29, 2011 12:37PM) (new)

Agnieszka Mauch (wolfandwords) I dropped The Good Thief's Guide to Paris after reading slightly more than half of the book (it wasa utterly boring and the characters were uninteresting and flat). Picked up W dżungli życia (a Polish book) and something the Goodreads had on its sidebar as a recommendation: Entropic Quest. The latter starts off in a very promising way and the writing style is very lovely.


message 25139: by Glenda (new)

Glenda (glenda-r) Mudbound. Set in the 40's after WWII, this book is beautiful. It is about a married couple, living in Memphis, TN leading a quiet peaceful life. When circumstances throw them into the Delta land of Mississippi on a farm, the turmoil starts. It is about the adjustments that all the characters have to make and the trials of racism that existed during that period of time.


message 25140: by Allison (new)

Allison (sockweasel) | 432 comments I'm currently reading Rachel's Holiday by Marian Keyes and Unfinished Business: One Man's Extraordinary Year of Trying to Do the Right Things by Lee Kravitz. Enjoying both so far! :)

I read this book some time ago and thought it was very well written and a powerful story.

Glenda,
I just got it from the library, good to hear you liked it. It's my next in line to read.

Or you might have to seek the book

The Little Women Letters out. I re-read the Lost Summer & now have started reading The Little Women Letter. Last summer I did find that I re-read Little Women after finishing The Lost Summer....

Molly (mollygirlwhoreads) Against the Wind by Brock and Bodie Theone....


message 25148: by Peter (new)

Peter Medley | 1 comments The Perfect Deceit

An enthralling book on how countries vie against each other to be top dog on the world stage. Spies, double agents, love triangles -- it’s all in a days work! In today’s interconnected world, this book gives one an interesting perspective on how much competition goes on behind the scenes with ambitions and stakes running high. Hearts are broken and for some power is gained. High drama and lots of mind games involved. Perfect summer reading!

This is the fifth or sixth Vince Flynn I've read and I really like them. I bought my husband the first two for his kindle and he seems to be liking them also. Gives him something to read between Star Wars books and military history.
