Naughty, but make me laugh. I never heard about these guys before. But what it has with Cleopatra's daughter???? I just about to start, but don't think in this book there is connection to this song


message 25761: by Michelle♥ (new)

Michelle♥ Listening to Bossypants by Tina Fey. It's my first audiobook ever and my first autobiography ever. Apparently I'm trying new things this week...so far she hasn't cracked me up yet. Kind of hoping it gets better or else it goes back to the library...

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments The Naked Name of Love, a bit slow for now but it keeps getting close to nice descriptions, words....I just hope it will expends from 'almost' and getting near to that.

I really liked it. It was dripping with satire to say the least.

I'm currently half way thru The Witching Hour which has been really good so far.

Dead Man's Song is an excellent horror novel!"


I really enjoyed Ghost Road Blues. I'm just glad he did a recap so I could remember what happened.

Emilly R (rosario0829e) | 198 comments I'am reading "THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS" BY ARUNDHATI ROY


message 25770: by Linda (new)

Linda | 887 comments Just finished Shock Wave (Virgil Flowers, #5) by John Sandford and, once again, thoroughly enjoyed Sanford's work. The Virgil Flower's character is a nice change from his too serious Lucas Davenport. Quirky in a good way.


message 25771: by Jane (new)

Jane | 221 comments Started The Night Circus - lots of characters to keep track of but good so far.


message 25772: by tiasreads (new)

tiasreads Just finished Dark Lover: The Life and Death of Rudolph Valentino- quite engrossing and (a little too?) thorough. I've loved Valentino since I saw my first silent movie years ago. My lord, that was a handsome man!

Next I'll continue my old Hollywood kick w/ either Becoming Mae West or Clara Bow: Runnin' Wild.


message 25773: by Jane (new)

Jane | 221 comments Suzanne - thanks for the old Hollywood choices. I love that era and didn't know about these!

I read about half of this book and for some reason I put it aside and never finished it. I came across it a while back and put it back on my TBR shelf. As I recall I enjoyed it, so I don't know why I never finished it.


message 25775: by Ann from S.C. (new)

Ann from S.C. | 1395 comments I have been gone for a while and have really missed this group! Can't wait to catch up with what everyone has been reading. I am reading THE CONFESSION by John Grishom and it is good.

Karen, this is the second time I try too! I started reading it a couple of years ago, and found it a bit slow. Then, just as I was actually starting to like it, my bag was stolen - with the book in it! Now I got a new copy, and again I'm finding it a bit slow... but I've only read about 30 pages, so it's too early to judge... but I think I might end up liking it - if I manage to tell the diffrent couples apart ;-)

Karen M | 1956 comments I started Mudbound last night. I'm enjoying the different POV so far.

Mudbound by Hillary Jordan

Lynda | 14 comments I'm just starting Dead as a Doornail on my Kindle and I'm about halfway through a paperback copy of Beautiful Creatures.


message 25782: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) Just finished Envy Envy (Luxe, #3) by Anna Godbersen which is the third book in the series. I liked it but at the end of book 2 one sister promises to help the other to get her lover back, then in book 3 the first sister pretty much checks out of the situation. She's got one more book to keep from making a liar out of the author. :-). Good series though.

I haven't read this book yet but if you're interested it was done as a series on British Television and you can view it on Hulu, just search for "White Teeth".


message 25789: by Claire (new)

Claire (clairebear8) | 514 comments I changed my mind, I'm going to go back and pick up where I left off with Duma Key by Stephen King. I'm only on page 60 so I have quite a bit of reading ahead of me.

Everyone guessing what would you happen to you life if you would go different ways - for example married the other person and didn't moved from you homeland... How then you life looked would be, how it would be different from current life. I just start reading and very intrigued by main character possibility to moved from her one life to other,,,,

Karen M | 1956 comments Still reading The Greek Treasure enjoying but wish they would stop listing every piece of treasure they find! LOL Seriously, the book would be twenty or so pages shorter if they would stop. About halfways done with Mudbound which is a pleasure to read.

I remember reading that a few years back. It was a hard one to get a-hold of. How are you liking it?


message 25796: by Rory M. (new)

Rory M. I just finished Finny which I believe was a group read at some point. Loved the quirky characters.

Also just finished Slow Man and am now reading The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (both YA / I'm a teacher), The Red Queen and On Beauty. The later is an audio book.

Jane | 221 comments What did anyone think about Virgin Suicides?


message 25798: by Lianne (new)

Lianne (eclecticreading) I just finished Georgette Heyer's Venetia (which I absolutely loved!) so I'm on to reading Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game (which I've been meaning to read for a very long time now), Bram Stoker's Dracula (I started reading this book last year but then stopped a few chapters in. I decided to start reading it again but yeah, it's a bit boring at the moment) and re-reading Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey =)
