I have also recently hopped on the bandwagon and am now partway through Book #2. What is everyone thinking so far?

I realize that I'm a little late replying here, but I have to say that I totally agree! I had such high hopes for this one, but it felt like any old run of the mill mystery novel to me.

I don't think it helped that I read it right after -- felt too similar (memory issues + mystery), though I've had a harder time deciding how I felt about the latter.

in last week, i've finished Wicked which i LOVED, and 29, which was OK but nothing great. today i started The Wolves of Andover but have only gotten about 30 pages in to it.

Putting it down as one of my favorites!

I'm also just starting . I'm on page 18. i'm hoping that it lives up to it's reputation.

[Gary]

Just finished Beautiful Liesby Lisa Unger and Fresh Disastersby Stuart Woods. Started today on Letter From Homeby Carolyn Hart.

[Lauren]

I finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson yesterday and loved it! Now I am reading The Turn of the Screw by Henry James and UR by Stephen King! Really enjoying both!

I'm not much farther than you, I'm only on pg 40. I think its not bad so far.

[Karendenice]

Flora, I agree. I loved the part when (view spoiler)[ Adelia and Simon were in the cart doing surgery on the prior and the person hiding heard but didn't see what was going on (hide spoiler)]. I almost busted a gut.

[Anne]

I'm reading The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver. Don't know why I've taken so long to read this! I love her writing style, so her other works are on my "to read" list as well.

I just finished The Excess Road and am working on The Sixth Discipline and then two or three more books to wrap up August. :)

[Mafi]

I just finished Wow amazing! Now I'm reading by Luanne Rice, it's a new author for me :)

[Gitte]

I'm reading Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler.

[Eve]

I was going to start 13 Rue Therese but I got distracted and started Discord's Apple by Carrie Vaughn instead. Very good so far.

[Scott]

I finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban last night and I started The Summer I Died this morning.

Reading Hell House by Richard Matheson and The Secret of Lost Things by Sheridan Hay!

[Garry]

Mark Twain - all over.

[Linda]

Am about three-quarters of the way through . So glad I discovered this author. My first experience was in reading her latest and similarly could not put that one down either. Russell does so much with language that reading her books is an experience you don't want to miss.

[Flora]

Just getting started on The Garden of Eden and not really sure what to think of it yet.

[Eve]

I started Clash of Kings but I've stalled because of other books. Can't wait to get back to it though, especially to find out what happened next after that amazing last scene in Game of Thrones.

[Eve]

I'm currently reading The Butterfly Cabinet by Bernie McGill. The first 50 pages in so far and I am completely engrossed in this gothic late 19th Century setting in an Irish castle. Reminds me a bit of The House at Riverton by Kate Morton, only because it’s a servant girl telling one side of the story.

[Karen M]

Reading Practical Magic and listening to the evacuation list for New Jersey.

[tiasreads]

This week I read Cleopatra's Daughter (excellent!), Sarah's Key (part brilliant/part annoying), and 220 pages of The Tea Rose (a big, horrible soap opera, which I eventually threw across the room in disgust). Now I am half-way through Summer Blowout, which isn't exactly Shakespeare, but OK for a quick read.

Everyone in Hurricane Irene's path: be safe! Here in Florida, we're used to that sort of thing, but I know a lot of you haven't had to deal with these storms. I hope you are all Okay.

The Child Queen: The Tale of Guinevere and King Arthur - Nancy McKenzie

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Catherine Anderson

[Jean]

I' currently reading Ghost Story. I heard it was scary.

[Mafi]

I started by Sherrilyn Kenyon

[Collin]

I just bought Will Kenyon's short storiesThe Giant/The Littlest Goblin - Two Short Storiesvia Kindle. Also reading Sarah Maclay's latest poetry collection, Music for the Black Room

[Eve]

I started Among Others by Jo Walton. So far, just fantastic. This book is for anyone who's ever looked at life through the prism of childhood books.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Alyson Noel

Reading Pigs in Heaven

[John]

Right now, I'm reading "Truman" and "The Last Dickens." Both good so far.

[tiasreads]

Just finished The Black Tower, which was good. Going to the library tomorrow to pick up Kane and Abel.

[Scott]

I finished The Summer I Died on Saturday. That was an intense book to say the least.

After that, I decided to go with something much lighter. So I started I Am Ozzy. It is very funny so far.

[Ami]

Reading "Half Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls. Talk about an up all night lamp burning page turner! I just started reading this book sometime last night and at six in the morning I am already halfway through it due to not wanting to stop reading and go to bed! What a life Ms. Walls grandmother lived!

[Rosalie]

Currently I am reading ELLIS ISLAND and thoroughly enjoying it. It is such a departure from what I usually read, but I cannot stop reading it. in fact, I was still reading at 3AM. Yesterday we went to BN and I bought Elizabeth Chadwick's LADY OF THE ENGLISH.

I really enjoyed "Kane & Abel" when I read it a while back, hope you will too.

[Mafi]

I finished Night Star by Alyson Noel, oh gosh, I love the series but this book didn't worked for me. I didn't like it but I'm going stick with the series so I started

[Efe]

i am currently reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford and I really don't like it. Mayne it is because I read What is the What right before this and now my standards are all high and stuff. Either way, I can't wait to be done with this one and on to Zeitoun

I have enjoyed many of Luanne Rice's books. Are you finding her a good writer of daily happening stories?

[Joy]

I just finished War and Peace, and started The Poisonwood Bible.

Hi Monef, I read both of those books and I know what you mean. They are very different! If you just think of "Hotel" as a cute little love story then it's actually a really nice book. It's definitely not going to move you the way "What" did. Never read Zeitoun though, so no comment on that!

[Devin]

I'm in a classics phase right now: recently finished East of Eden by Steinbeck, The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway, The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald, and Lord of the Flies by Golding. I am now reading Of Mice and Men for the second time since high school. I loved East of Eden and Lord of The Flies, but Gatsby and Old Man were only okay.

Next on the list - Les Misérables. I've got tickets to see the musical in November so of course I have to read the book first!

[Flora]

I'm finally getting started on The Help and I really like it so far. I've also started My Life in France as well as The Cat Who Said Cheese

[Amy]

i am reading nineteen minues by Jodi Picoult!

[Think]

Currently reading Room by Emma Donoghue. I can't hardly put it down it's so good! Better late than never...
