Karen M | 1956 comments I was right about The Alienist. I was trying to read it at a time when I didn't really have time to read. I'll definitely finish it this time!

I would get depressed, bored, annoyed.... good luck!


message 25554: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Just finishedIt Must Be Love which I thought would be boring, fluffy, empty and at the beginning it was. London, good job, great flat, wedding on Christmas eve to a rich guy..... not really my thing. But now I have a nice cozy feeling after having read about Sarah going to the West coast of Ireland and becoming a different person, one I liked much more than in the beginning. And even if ehr friend Abigail didn't make a huge part of the story, but mroe a huge part on the back ground part of the story, I feel like she is my favourite person in the book.

Lisa Hall (lisachall) | 8 comments Just finished "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and immediatly picked up "Girl Who Played with Fire". Mikael Bloomkvist and Lisbeth Salander combo have me hooked.

Linda | 887 comments Got an ARC of The Homecoming of Samuel Lake by Jenny Wingfield awhile back and decided to take the plunge just recently. Have to admit, while I wasn't certain what to expect, it is quite good so far. I love books that you can ease into like a cozy chair. This is certainly one of those.

message 25564: by [deleted user] (new)

I take 12 books a month to read/review and goodreads is the easiest place to keep track of that. If you want to know what I'm reading at any given moment, all you have to do is look at my currently reading list here. goodreads is awesome! :)

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 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 25600: 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!).
