The Woman in White

and I will be starting today:




Next up, some YA:

I also just got

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted here... nice to see what everyone's reading :)
I am currently reading alt.punk by Lavinia Ludlow and I'm loving it. It's sharp and sarcastic and the female protag is an absolute trip!
She weighs under 115 pds yet everyone around her calls her fat so she refuses to eat near people, though she will binge on soda, candy, and other unhealthy things at home. She is a severe germaphobe who is disgusted by sex and stray pubic hair....
I wish I never had to put this book down!

I looked up IndieBound and BetterWorldBooks but both are selling at full price... It's still new and also very indie so I am not sure that you will find very many used copies floating around yet.

Also starting on A Midsummer Night's Dream:)

I'm currently reading Caleb's Crossing, which I enjoy (but not love, at least not yet).
The Birth of Venus was on my TBR list for a long time, but I just realized I have over 90 books on my Kindle. Need to read at least some of those first, before getting any new ones.


NO wI am continuing on with A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

Just finished Swimsuit and Cat & Mouse.



Now reading:






I'm going to start The Case of Charles Dexter Ward this afternoon. This will be my first read of any Lovecraft.


Just started on


Now I am reading The Lotus Eaters by Tatjana Soli. I'm only a few pages in but it seems really interesting so far, about three photographers in the Vietnam War in Saigon. I won it on Goodreads. It's the first book in a long while that I haven't read on my Sony eReader - it's a nice change (:






Most Public Libraries have "Interlibrary Loan" They can get a book from another library in your state for a small fee of $5.00 or less. You might be able to get the book that way, if you don't want to own the book. If you want to own the book try www.betterworldbooks.com they have many books really frugally priced.


i started Sister Mine from Tawni O'Dell today. i feel like i've read this already, but i could be wrong. i like her stuff, it takes place in areas that i know well, both geographically and emotionally.




I saw David Mamet's production of The Voysey Inheritance in 2004, which was fortunate. Unfortunately, I worked for a family-run company whose fortunes were eerily similar.


I read this book a while ago, I liked the first half better than the second but that's because I could identify better with the first half. Enjoy!
