I just finished Inca Land: Explorations in the Highlands of Peru, which was really interesting. Now I'm reading Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner, which is cute so far! :)

I'm reading The Solitude of Prime Numbers. I'm only a few pages in, but the description seemed interesting.

. I am about half through it and enjoying it very much. Can't wait to finish!"About half way through The Night Circus, too, and don't think I'll be able to stop until the last page. A very good read.
I just finished the really nice Fatedand will now start The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Still reading Atlas Shrugged and loving it.
I just finished The Bronze Horseman. What an amazing, beautiful, heart-breaking story! Now I'm reading Specials.
I just finished Intimations of Austen. Some of the stories were good, some were awful. Now I'm in a dither about what to read next. There are eight books in my TBR pile and they all look really good!
I'm reading A Game of Thrones and listening to The Count of Monte Cristo. They are both really interesting, and I can't wait to see how they end.

I've only read 30 pages so far, but it has certainly grabbed my attention! I've got a feeling that I'm gonna like it!
Patricia wrote: "I've decided to tackle Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell."I read that one about a year ago - loved it!
Patricia wrote: "I've decided to tackle Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell."Enjoy GWTW, Patricia! If you like the movie, you'll probably appreciate the details the book adds to the story. I've read it nine times and it never gets old.
I just finished Search the Dark. It was great- I couldn't guess the murderer and that's the sign of a good mystery.
Michael wrote: "I just finished
m it was pretty forgettable."Michael, that's a couple forgettable reads in a row for you. :( I hope your next one is better! What are you reading next?

Thanks Suzanne & Gitte. It's really long so I kept putting it off but always wanted to read it. First 3% in on my Kindle and like it so far. : )

I would love to read GWTW sometime. I tried to read it 2 times when I was in junior high, but I had the attention span of a gnat back then and only read it about halfway through. Maybe I'll give it another try someday.! Let us know how you like it, Patricia!
April wrote: "Anne, I just finished that one a couple of weeks ago. What do you think of it so far?"I am loving it. The imagery is amazing. In my Mind's eye, I could see the striped tents against the grey skies as I waited in line with the others waiting to find out what kind of Circus only opens at night. The characters also sucked me in, especially Mr. Gray. I'm about 70% done and can't wait to finish it tomorrow - I left it at the Dentist Office, dag nabit!
I'm still reading
which has been really good but I still have a long way to go. I'm also reading
and I've just started
April wrote: "I really enjoyed it. It's like the circus itself is the main character."Very true, though I was commenting on the supporting cast as it were. I'm a little groggy from the meds the dentist gave me...
April wrote: "I really enjoyed it. It's like the circus itself is the main character."That's such a great way to describe it!
My current reading material is
by Sarah Cross and it's so good! I am staying with my grandmother to help her out a bit and was reading at night in bed and had to shove a corner of my feather pillow into my mouth to keep from laughing too loudly for fear of waking her up since she has trouble sleeping and the walls are very thin in her double wide mobile home and since she lives in a very small town it gets very quiet at Knight. This book is very entertaining and highly reccommended for comic book/superhero fans. My last two reads before that were
by Patricia McCormick and
by Adam Rex.

"I loved 1Q84: Book 1 and Book 2 and have book 3 to start. While i cant wait to find out what happens to the main characters, i keep putting it off because i dont want it to end.

Its quite different from other Lansdale books ive read but im really liking it. Its a murder mystery story but gives an interesting portrayal of life during the depression, covering the attitudes of white people to blacks. Ive had it for a while and really glad i got round to it.
I'm reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and am in love with it. This will be one that I don't want to end. Sadly the author passed away before she finished this book. Clever writing in the same style of 84, Charing Cross Road which I've read 3 times becaue I so love it!
I just started reading Girl Friday by Jane Green, i'm excited for this book, it's my first Jane green book, i heard she's a great author :)
I just finished
. It was an absolute page turner. Whenver I had to brak away from it I couldn't wait to fiand 5 minuties to get back to it. The story kept you guess right up til the end and it provided a very realistic picture of life in NYC in the early 1900's. Will definitely be going back to read book one and two in this series. I am now starting
I have just started Whispers of the Dead by Simon Beckett (David Hunter 3). Hope it is as good as the first two.
Into The Light by Darcia HelleTouching story of a man who is murdered and wants to find his killer and a motive so he latches himself to a PI named Joe. the results so far are touching yet comical as Max tries to manage the ghost world while finding out why he was murdered.
