message 26406: by Jessika (new)

Jessika Hoover (jessalittlebooknerd) I'm starting The Borrowers by Mary Norton and The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara.

The Borrowers is just something for fun, but The Killer Angels is something I've been wanting to read for ages.

Betsy (mistymtladi) | 511 comments Been reading more than writing,and my book count has remained Static. So I'll to add some today. So far of what I can remember, I've read This is Where I leave You (hysterical but very touching) Roses
(interesting 1920 's Southern dynasty) and others. Guess I'll have to crawl around my bed and see what I got.


message 26413: by Betsy (new)

Betsy (mistymtladi) | 511 comments Finished This Is where I leave You by Jonathan Trooper. It's absolutely hysterical and reads "spot-on" for dysfunctional families.

Michael (book_nerd1991) I just finished The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, for those that want to read it, please don`t waste your time. It dragged and it added unecessary information it started off promising but ended in travesty!

I am about to begin The Sonderberg Case by Elie Wiesel .

I'm absolutely with you, Michael! It what I was telling to my friends about this book - not very bad, but overrated. And who would need all this details about Swedish politic and government structure?

Gabriella (stardust_126) | 429 comments I'm still reading In the Still of the Night: The Strange Death of Ronda Reynolds, and I've started Fairest by Gail Carson Levine.


message 26428: by Karen M (new)

Karen M | 1956 comments I just finished Signs and Wonders which was an interesting little novella and I just started Zombie Eyes which seems to be a scifi/mystery.


message 26429: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) Had difficulty sleeping last night, so was up until almost 6am reading A Tale of Two Cities, and nearly finished -- which I did after I got up around 11am. I was happy to find that 'book three' of the novel went much faster than the first two. A good book, but it has put me two behind my reading goal, so time for a couple of faster (and more fun!) reads.


message 26430: by Yuliya (new)

Yuliya (yuliyalovestoread) | 1685 comments I got back to reading books from Alex Cross series by James Patterson - for relaxation, and they just was found in my building library, so why not - a lot of killing but make me relax :)


message 26431: by David (new)

David Santos (authordas) Return to Horrorland (Goosebumps Series 2000, #13) by R.L. Stine

Ive decided to mix it up. I have lots of books with small fonts that are super thick, so Ill read these smaller books ever other time to help my ADD ha


message 26432: by Katherine (new)

Katherine (katsikes) I just started reading Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk for my "real world" book club (vice online book club.) Enjoying it so far - only about a quarter of the way in. I had never heard of this book before it was chosen for book club. One of my favorite things about book club is reading books I wouldn't otherwise read or know about.


message 26433: by Claire (new)

Claire (clairebear8) | 514 comments I just finished Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and thought it was great, albeit, very sad. I'll be off to see the movie soon. I started 77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz.

message 26435: by Michael (new)

Michael (book_nerd1991) I just finished
The Sonderberg Case by Elie Wiesel , it was forgettable and let me down greatly. I don`t know what it is but I am starting to check out dull books, is my expectation that high? I hope the next one is good.

I am about to begin The Cure for Modern Life A Novel by Lisa Tucker .
