message 25568: by Scott (new)

Scott | 257 comments Yesterday, I finished The Great and Secret Show. I enjoyed it but I thought some parts of the story were a little slow and drawn out.

Now I'm reading The Godwulf Manuscript.

Ami E. Bowen (skayda) | 26 comments Just finished with My Life as A White Trash Zombie (White Trash Zombie, #1) by Diana Rowland and will be starting The Thirteen by Susie Moloney as soon as I get my butt off these forums. I like to take a break between books to see what other people have been reading and what they think about them. ^_^

I loved it, too! I wonder if it was a stand-alone novel or is it going to be a series? I can't recall if anyone was mentioned either way. I loved the pictures.

I think it may become a series, especially because of the way it ended. I have read other reviews where people thought it may be a series. I guess we'll see!

I LOVE this book!


message 25584: by Mary (new)

Mary (attorneymom) I'm re-reading Lahiri's The Namesake. I read it when my youngest was a baby and don't remember much about it! Hopefully, it will be a quick read.

I'm also reading Noah Feldman's Scorpions: The Battles and Triumphs of FDR's Great Supreme Court Justices. It's very interesting (or maybe I'm just a huge nerd!).

In this book she is funny and how they say "Slut and proud"

I hope it was a series, I would love to know how their story continued.

I'm now reading The Serpent's Tale which I like so far.


message 25589: by Scott (new)

Scott | 257 comments I finished The Godwulf Manuscript. It was enjoyable. I also realized that these books were what the TV series Spenser for Hire was based on. I will definitely read more of them.

Now I'm going to start Hammerhead Ranch Motel since it became available from the library yesterday.


message 25590: by Gitte (new)

Gitte (gittetofte) I'm reading The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen. Seems fun!

message 25593: by Alex (new)

Alex Kudera | 49 comments I just finished American Scream, about Allen Ginsberg and the making and marketing and more of "Howl," and I'm about to begin teaching Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 (again). And I'm also rereading An Adultery by Alexander Theroux and reading for the first time Francis Wheen's biography of Karl Marx. The latter is a great fast-paced biography, and you don't have to know too much about his actual philosophies to enjoy it.

This was my favorite by Addison although Garden Spells was a close second.



message 25595: by Allison (new)

Allison (sockweasel) | 432 comments I just finished Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, which was good.

Now I'm starting The Night Circus! So excited! I've been waiting for this one for months! :)


message 25596: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) Just finished Gone with the Windsors Gone with the Windsors by Laurie Graham . Good book but my god, Wallis Warfield Simpson was annoying and selfish. I read a bio of her about 25 years ago and thought the same thing then.

Ami E. Bowen (skayda) | 26 comments Just started Rage by Julie Anne Peters . It looks interesting. Supposedly it's about toxic relationships.

Yep. I love Chelsea Handler and her show Chelsea Lately. Have you read "Are There God, It's Me Chelsea"? I have "Lies Chelsea Handler Told Me" but haven't read it yet.
