IM reading Dolores Claiborne by stephen king

[Trina]

I am reading Stephen King's . About 1/3 of the way through. Liking it so far.

[Heather L]

Have just started The Christmas Clock by Kat Martin.

[Ami]

Just started . So far so good. Took me forever and a day to get through , though. I'm getting kind of sick of this universe and looking forward to moving on to something else to be honest.

You can't go wrong with anything by . I absolutely devoured his series. Soooo freakin' goooood!

The Currents of Space by Asimov -- Totally obssessed with Asimov these days

No you're not. I couldn't finish it."

I'll take it one further: I couldn't even start it. When I learn a novel is about circuses, I reach for my . . . water pistol. In my experience, hoakiness and sentimentality ensues.

[Rebecca]

Now to say something nice!

I see some people aren't giving a resounding shout-out for The Elegance of the Hedgehog, which is one of my favorite "small" books with one of my favorite fictional characters ever, the brilliant, witty, homely, cynical, acerbic French concierge at the heart of the story (she is the story). I think it's a question of aesthetics with this book. If you don't enjoy the attention to language and philosophizing, which is very French after all, you might find this book precious. I do enjoy that kind of book if the language is witty and insightful, not just show-offy and meandering and pointless. It's one of those rare books (my favorite kind) that is funny and serious at the same time. Seriously funny. And the ending is deeply sad. To be that close to pure happiness, after a lifetime with none...

If you do like it, you might also enjoy other novels by the publisher, Europa Editions. Our library keeps me stocked in them, which is good because I could never afford to buy the latest novel in translation from Europe otherwise, and 90% of them have been fantastic.

I just finished , it was an amazing book by Lisa Unger. She is one of my favorite authors, this book did not disappoint.

[Nance]

I'm currently reading A Discovery of Witches, which is pretty good so far. I was curious to read this because I've heard mixed reviews. It is filled with tons of history, and even though it is fiction, you can tell that the author did a lot of research to create an intrictly woven tale of witches, vampires, and daemons. Can't wait to see what happens in the final pages! I heard that it's to be a trilogy, so I'll have to keep my eye out for the second installment.

[Renee]

I just finished The Black Echo by Michael Connelly. That was a great book to start out the Harry Bosch series. I actually couldn't figure out who done it until the very end. I can't wait to read the rest in the series.

Currently reading: Coming Of Age In Mississippi by Anne Moody.

It's not hoaky, it's more the dark side of traveling shows. I just finished it and I can see where it's not everyone's taste in books but I enjoyed it.

[Rebecca]

Karen, I just can't stand reading about circuses and traveling shows of any stripe, for some reason--never have! This goes for that theme in movies as well. So, it really doesn't even matter if it's well-written and everyone else in the world seems to love it, I'm not going near it. I'm sure writers love circuses because there are so many rich elements to explore--the unique characters, setting, themes of vice, exploitation, etc. The potential for having to read about animal abuse alone is enough to make me not want to read about circuses. Not proud to be a wimp, but it's the truth.

I never think it will be like that because it doesn't look it are great books, but every time he just manages to do it!

[Yuliya]

I’m listening to The Birds and Other Stories by Daphne du Maurierand somebody was surprised how abruptly finished Birds? I was upset because I thought I didn’t download completely all story. I have to read summary of the story on line to understand that original story is like that! But I love du Maurier's style no matter that. And I'm really glad to have her other book to read this month as a book club choice. I didn't read it yet

[Flora]

I'm half way thru The Black Book of Secrets and so far I like it.

My husband and I reall like this series Renee. Glad to see you are also.

[Ami]

I am just starting . After which I will be reading both and . And then, in a few weeks when comes out I will be reading first so that I can read them both together without having to wait. ^_^

[Claire]

I'm still reading Mudbound and really liking it. I think this would make a really good movie.

[Vicky]

I'm reading Gregor the Overlander series. I really enjoyed the Hunger Games triolgy, and wanted to get a feel for Suzanne Collins as an author. The series is meant for younge adults, but it's written so well, that adults can enjoy the books too.

[Paula]

I've just started

Your comment about animal abuse is one I agree with completely. If I had known what the book was about in parts I'm not so sure I would have read it. I still enjoyed the writing but some parts did make me cringe. Animal and human abuse are not things I would deliberately chose to read about but that part wasn't apparent until I had started to read the book.

I am about to read

[Heather L]

Finished reading The Christmas Clock by Kat Martin this morning. Good, but also very Hallmark-y. Am now starting an older holiday read plucked from the TBR pile, Christmas in Calico by Jack Curtis.

[Jeane]

I am reading Seabiscuit: An American Legend. Very good!

[Eden]

I'm reading Harper's Anthology of Twentieth Century Native American Poetry edited by Duane Niatum.

Trina, how is 11/22/63 going? I've been curious about it.

I just finished Twenty Wishes. It was a good, light read. I've now read every single book in my physical TBR stack. Sounds like a trip to the library to me!

[Maya]

I finished Apartment 16 By Adam Nevill and I'm finished Where The Heart is By Mairead O'Driscoll

[Karen M]

I always enjoy a book that has multiple POVs, so I am enjoying Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan.

[Katherine]

"Three-Day Town" Margaret Maron
"Best Friends, occasional enemies" Lisa Scottoline

[Kayden]

I am reading Run, Run, Run AwayRun, Run, Run Away [bookcover:Run, Run, Run Away by C.R. Cummings. Have to admit that it isn't what I was expecting, but a good book just the same.

Finished The Closers today-- really liked it. Also Up Jumps the Devil. Still reading A Drop of the Hard Stuff and am completely sucked in. Also about a quarter through Where There's a Witch for a lighter mystery.

Jeane- I'm just starting this as well. :) Hope you enjoy it, we'll have to chat when we're both done.

Paula- Glad to hear you loved it!! :)

Fall out - Ellen Hopkins, it's so far pretty good, although it's a third in a series I am not overall crazy about, but I do love her writing.

[Maya]

I'm currently reading Have You Seen Her By Karen Rose and The Killer Takes All By Erica Spindler

[Barbara]

I finished reading Five-Star Fleecing by Maura Stone, yesterday.

I also loved it. Couldn't get over how much I learned about the sport of horse racing.

[Gabriella]

I just finished reading Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier. I loved it. It was very dark, mysterious and a little bit scary too. It always kept me wanting to turn to the next page. I stopped reading Dairy Queen for a little while to read this book.

[Karen M]

I'm reading Maine on my Kindle right now!
