[Debsp]

I am halfway through The Alchemyst and I am also reading Explosive Eighteen. And of course today the library e-mailed me that Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption is available for check out! Yikes! I might have to put the other two on hold while I read my library book.

[Paula]

I'm about 100 pages in

Enjoying it so far.

[Lillie]

Reading Stephen King's 11/22/63 & loving it! Haven't read anything by him for 20 years. Great writer & it's not horror.

[Danna]

I have finished this morning and went on to keep reading , which seems to be very good, maybe even one of my best reads! I guess it may even get a 5 stars rating from me. I like the feminst strong heroine concept thing.

I've read Hotel du Lac which I can highly recommend. I'll have to add The Rules of Engagement to my wish list.

[Antoine]

Finally getting around to Moneyball. I had a chance to be an extra in the movie, which would have been a big thrill since I'm an A's fan, but they cancelled filming for scenes in Phoenix.

Just started reading the 2nd book of the 13 To Life series.
Secrets to Shadows

[Cassie]

As I just finished Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire I decided to start reading a book that I have heard recommended by a lot of people called The Hunger Games. So far I am really enjoying it. Hard to put it down actually. I keep wanting to know what is going to happen next. After I am finished my partner is actually going to read it as well cause I am enjoying it that much.

So was I! I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

Just finished Fracture by Megan Miranda ~ http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95... ~ Absolutely wonderful! I was totally taken by the story, it's depth and how well everything held together until the final page... immediately and truly impressed with Megan's writing style. Her storytelling and characters definitely put me in mind of Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall (HUGE compliment!) so I look forward to following this new author in the years ahead!

I enjoyed Push but the movie did pack more of an emotional punch. Have you read The Kid, her latest book? I can't get it to link up here but if you have, I'd love to hear what you think. It's one I'd like to read but haven't gotten to yet.

No I never read that yet, if it is anything like Push, I don`t want too. thanks for the recommendation.

I was the opposite of you Michael. I couldn't stomach the movie Precious, but loved Push. Push was more real and gritty than the movie. I feel that the movie cut out what the book was really about. It was about the struggle of this girl to be better than she was and it was reflected better in the book because of the writing style and the word choices. You didn't get all of that from the movie, at least not for me.

[Rachel]

I felt the way the book was written, with all the spelling and grammar mistakes, bogged down the story. The movie removed that gimmick/roadblock for me.

[Ted]

11/22/63 by Stephen King; A very heavy book, some 700 pages long. Not exclusively about the assassination...involves time travel and alternate history. Overwhelming question on finishing the book:
Where does the Yellow Card man come from and what duties do his employers expect him to do?

[Annette]

I'm reading The True Story of Butterfish by Nick Earls. I like his writing very much and his evocation of suburban Brisbane is wonderful.

[Titta]

Just finished and started to read Wuthering Heights. I have read this many times before and it is one of my favorite books. :)

[April]

I'm finally getting around to reading the Hunger Games trilogy, just started Catching Fire last night so I'll probably be done with the whole trilogy by the end of the week. Not sure what I'm going to read after that. Has anyone read 1Q84 yet? I'm leaning towards that one or The Secret Holocaust Diaries: The Untold Story of Nonna Bannister.

[Patricia]

I finished The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver and now I am going to start One Day by David Nicholls.

I thought it would be boring and a bit stupid but just loved it and enjoyed it. So happy I finally read it.

The grammar I can overlook cause I understood the author`s intention, but I did not care about precious at all. I know that was a hurting child, but she was not someone that I can sympathize with. In the movie, I felt the connection between precious and her school teacher. In contrast,in the book, I did not feel any connection, cause it was lazy writings and inconsistent to me.

[Michael]

I just finished , in one word- terrible!

Did you like "The Bean Tree?"

I think I went into the book with too high of expectations and ended up thinking that it was just okay. Most of my friends who've read it gave 4 or 5 stars. I stuck with 3.

In the Still of the Night: The Strange Death of Ronda Reynolds by Ann Rule

[Gitte]

I'm reading Sunset Park by Paul Auster.

[Claire]

I just started Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. So far I'm enjoying it.

[Lillie]

Finished 11/22/63 and am starting Sixpence House: Lost in A Town Of Books.

[Michael]

I am about to begin .

[Dave]

Reading The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan . Just blown away by it. The writing style and the perspective are incredible.

Best book I've cracked open in the past year.

[Gitte]

I just finished that one - loved it!

[tiasreads]

I just finished Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor. It was a fun and fast read. A lot of Jane Austen fan fiction just plain stinks, but I'm not too much of a Jane purist to enjoy well-written fan fiction. Can't wait for the next one!

I also finished Night Road, which was intense, but good. I can't decide what to read next, possibly The Wedding Dress.

Hi Lori! I finally figured out what "heavy boots" means. ha ha! I'm only on page 50 but really liking it so far. I do plan to see the movie and want to finish the book first though.

[Flora]

I'm currently about half way thru Delirium and I've just started Eirelan

[Jeane]

started reading Fated

[Titta]

I finished reading Wuthering Heights and continued reading 1984. I started to read 1984 last year, but for some reason couldn't finish reading it.. Now I decided to give it an another chance and has to say more I read it, more I like it.

[Jennifer]

Every now and then I pick up several books at once and find in some way they intersect. At the moment I'm reading Evenings With Cary Grant: Recollections in His Own Words and by Those Who Knew Him Best and Once Upon a Time: Behind the Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier where the connection between the two is obvious. I find I'm also drawn to start Fellow Travelers which if I recall what I read about it correctly is also about the 1950s. Hoping to make some headway into that tonight so we'll see.

[Maria]

I finished Catching Fire tonight, and it was great. I may wait until tomorrow to start Mockingjay until tomorrow though, that way I get some sleep tonight. If it were the weekend tho, all bets would be off.

[Olivia]

I am so close to being done with Super Sad True Love Story . I think editing my own novel and getting it ready to upload to Amazon, etc., has slowed me down. But SSTLS is SO GOOD. As my friend Karie said, it's chilling and funny.

Just finished Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susannand I liked this book for reallity of description of celebrities life. Also reading now my favorite (for relaxation, not serious reading) Alex Cross series book London Bridges (Alex Cross #10) by J Patterson

[Michael]

I am about to begin very excited about this!

I loved "Valley of the Dolls" when I read it years ago. There is also a movie if you're interested. There is also a sequel to Valley, something with Sparrows in the title. It was pretty good too but not as good as Valley imo.

[Paula]

It was "Shadow of the Dolls" (I knew it had an "S" in the title) LOL and I thought it was pretty good. Susann had started the draft for it before she died and this Rae (I forget her last name now) finished it. I liked that it told us what happened to the characters later in life.

[Tom]

I'm currently reading The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta. I've read and enjoyed him before. This book is strange, but it is humorous and thought provoking.
