I started last night, The Look of Love: A Piper Donovan Mystery. I was in the mood for a mystery.

[Rayna]

I'm currently reading We, the Drowned, Kafka on the Shore, and Our Mutual Friend.

I kind of want to read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close again before I go see the movie, but I have a feeling that I'll have an incredibly difficult time getting my hands on a library copy right now.

I also want to re-read the Hunger Games trilogy before the movie comes out next month (I'm so excited).

I understand the Kindle obsession. I'm finding I love my Kindle almost more than paper books. I enjoy letting it read to me while I cook or clean. 8=)

Rayna, how is We, the Drowned? I just got a copy of that for christmas and think it sounds amazing!

I am reading Spaceman Blues: A Love Song, started it yesterday and I have a little less than 60 pages to go... it was really strange and slow to start but it's finally started to pick up. I had no idea where the darn thing was going at first....

I am also still (yes still) listening to the audio for Couch - the reason this is taking forever is because it's on my phone, and I only listen to it in my car through the av in/out.. so if I dont have the car on my way to work, i dont get to listen it :(

[Rayna]

Lori, We, the Drowned is taking me a while since I've been reading it on and off, but I like it. There are a few bits where I find the identity of the narrator confusing, but it might be a fluke of the translation? It's still pretty good though. I'll let you know about my thoughts when I finish it.

Can anyone recommend any good books about the Kennedy assassination? I've decided I want to read 11/22/63, but I feel like I should learn more about what actually happened before I read a "what if" book.

[Sharon]

I'm reading John Adams, and the Girl Who Played With Fire. John Adams is a slow go for me but very interesting. The Girl....is exciting reading.

[Karen M]

I'm reading The Dead Saint and it's a good read, mystery and murder.

[Gary]

I have just started by Ann Patchett.

[Yuliya]

The Rose of Sebastopol and I actually really like it
finsihing on of the about Alex Cross ( by J Patterson)books
and catch up old months group reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, like that too, even footbinding description horrify me

[Jennifer]

Finished Murder by Mocha and Tripwire . Started The Tin Roof Blowdown , Die Trying and Death At Wentwater Court along with the other four I'm working on.

The Red Queen is getting better. Now, bearing in mind that my exposure to what historians call "primary sources" is ZERO, I'm wondering if the sort of feminist interior reactions the main character is having about being parceled off to husband after husband without her consent would actually have occurred, or if they are a way to ensure the modern audience can identify with her and respect her.

[Michael]

I am currently reading Matrimonyby Joshua Henkin.

[tiasreads]

I'm reading Kane and Abel. So far, so good.

I really liked this one Suzanne, glad you're enjoying it too.

[Chad]

I'm reading The Borrower. Last 80 pages or so, and though I am simpatico with the authors political views to a certain extent, I am curious to see how or if she redeems her narrator or if she lets her off the hook. Trying to read 2011 books that got some press last year. This is better than avg. but not amazing. This is mostly because I feel like the author's moral and political views are the main reason for this plot. I do like all the chapter names and literary illusions since the main character is a librarian. That is what drew me in the first place.

[Lis]

I've taken a gander into The Book of Amber by Robert Zelazney. It's really gripping, I'd definitely recommend it as a nice and juicy long read to any high fantasy fans.

[Tess]

I am almost done with State of Wonder. Slow moving in the beginning, but good topic. Love to hear what you think when you are done

[Linda]

Just finished listening to . Gave it a 5. Unbelievably well done! Simply fascinating. Nuf said.

[Gitte]

I started The Help yesterday - so far I like it.

[Brenda]

I am bouncing between three books right now. I hope to finish at least two of them this week.

[Jane]

Just finished a great time travel fantasy The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack. It's a "steampunk" story. That is a descriptive term I've never heard but that's what the reviewers call it!

[Libbie Hawker]

I am reading Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. HOLY CRAP, SO AMAZING!!! It's been a couple of years since I read a book that I knew within the first few pages would forever be on my All-Time Greats list, but this is definitely one!

I very strongly recommend it, particularly if you are a nature lover!

Hi Rayna - If you google "books about kennedy assassination" there are several sites - some on Amazon.com. Good luck! I have the S. King book on my TBR list, and am looking forward to reading it.

[Michael]

I just finished , the book exceeded my expectations, love the character development and fell in love with all of them. I love how amicable the relationships were and how it passed over time.

[Renee]

I just finished After the Apple by Naomi H. Rosenblatt. This book was about women of the Bible and how they made it in a man's world and also how important they were to theri men. It was a interesting read.

Just finished by Ann Patchett. It was a good story but took about 100 pages to long to tell it. Not sure what is up next right now.

[Gary]

I'm now reading by Alma Katsu. The start is really captivating.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished Need by Carrie Jones and found Cursed by Tara Brown on Smashwords. Seems awesome so far, love buying books from the tub.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Wow guys, I am reading The Avian Gospels and it is really good. It's about a city that is living under a plague of birds, and a father and son who can control them... Loving it so far.

Also listening to the AudioGo version of The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim - its sad but also kinda funny at the same time. Really liking this one!

[Karen M]

I'm reading Scorpio Rising which was a free download and is rather good. It will be interesting to see how the two storylines converge (assuming they do!).

I've tried to start this book about three times, having a very difficult time getting into it. I feel like it would be good if I could just get past a certain point. Problem being, I don't know where that point might be! First book I bought for my kindle, so I can keep trying. :)

The first part of the book is hard to get into but once you get there it is worth it! The second book in my opinion was the best. Honestly stick with them they are very good reads.

[Ashleigh]

Im reading 'When god was a rabbit' by Sarah Winman. Im really enjoying it. Its about a brother and sister, a coming of age type. I adore the writing style though and have had a few laughs and a few tears already and Im only half way through. I would definately recommend it to you all. :D
