The end is great! The second book in the series has been published. I need to check to see if the library has it!

Scott | 257 comments I just finished Ready Player One. I'm on a streak of great books. Hope it doesn't end.

This morning I started The Bottoms.


message 26909: by Lis (new)

Lis (lazyseagull) Reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. It's a bit dry starting out, but I want to see how it ends, so I'm sticking to it.

At one point I started to think I knew how this was going to end but I was surprised.

Kyle, That is an inappropriate question. Please do not ask questions like that of our members or the books they are reading.

Shary (sharyfg) | 104 comments I'm reading Smokin' Seventeen. Love Janet Evanovich!


message 26916: by Usako (new)

Usako (bbmeltdown) | 326 comments Heard there is a bananza for Fifty Shades. It's amazing how it hit the bestseller's list since it started out as fanfiction. This may get other authors who do fanficition a greater possibility of publication with other works.

I started reading The Baker's Daughter and am in love. I have had to double-check certain german words since I forgot what a few mean. But I am liking the direction thus far for a WW2 era book.

Hooray for that! Can't wait until Sarah McCoy joins us to discuss!

As for me, I am reading Two Dollar Radio's upcoming Radio Iris, which is really good so far,

and listening to Jim Greer's The Failure via Iambik Audio. The audio is recorded by a guy with a strong english accent and he speaks incredibly fast... so not sure how I feel about the book yet. It's hard to catch the storyline when my brain is racing to catch up with his words.


message 26918: by LindaD (new)

LindaD (freedom333) | 253 comments Still on my WW2 reading binge, learning and growing through history. This is also related to the realization that race is not the cause of war as everyone wants us to believe, they just profit from it when it's ___vs___. Fill in the blank: white/black, hispanic/white, hispanic/black, sunni/shia, light-skinned/dark-skinned, tutsi/hutu, russian/german, jewish/german, japanese/american, south/north, tupak(west)/biggie(east), etc. Always generalizing about groups to stir the pot. I have the faith most people are too smart to fall for it. Here's my list:

A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern-Day Slavery
Exodus
American Gods
48 Hours of Kristallnacht: Night of Destruction/Dawn of the Holocaust

just finished Love in a Nutshell, a light read with a happy ending!

Linda- Thank you so much for the suggestion! I haven't heard of that one, I'll get my hands on a copy. I really appreciate the suggestion, I need something good to read! :)

I like PRIVATE GAMES and all James Patterson books, which I read very often between other reading.
Right now I'm reading one of Scarpetta series - Trace by Patricia Cornwell which I like very much too (like to read about area of forensic )


message 26927: by cazdoll (new)

cazdoll | 48 comments I've just finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett it was a fantastic read, now I'm reading I Heart Paris (I Heart #3) by Lindsey Kelk which is very good also :)


message 26928: by Linda (new)

Linda | 887 comments Just finished Stay Close by Harlan Coben. It's his newest, but not his best. It was slightly more than an okay read. Am currently reading Charles Martin's new one - Thunder and Rain A Novel by Charles Martin . Really good so far. If the man has written a so-so book, I haven't read it. Highly recommend him.


message 26929: by Karen M (last edited Apr 05, 2012 01:56PM) (new)

Karen M | 1956 comments I finished Site Unseen which was a really good mystery. So I go to my "to read" listing and decide I'm going to read Dune again. Can't find the darn book. So then I decide to read Tara Road which I found on the attic steps a couple of months ago. I read 50 pages and finally realized there was a reason why the story seemed very familiar. Guess I put it there a few years ago when I read it the first time. So, undaunted, I am actually reading The Moneychangers which was staring at me from the shelf where it has been waiting it's turn for years.


message 26930: by Michael (last edited Apr 05, 2012 02:21PM) (new)

Michael (book_nerd1991) I am about to begin The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb , the plot intrigued me.


message 26931: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) 'Nother one down-- 29 to go in this batch! Finished Jolie Blon's Bounce Jolie Blon's Bounce (Dave Robicheaux, #12) by James Lee Burke last night. James Lee Burke is one of my 4 or 5 favorite mystery authors and he does two things extraordinarily well-- first, he mixes description in with narrative so well that you don't realize a picture is being painted. You wind up with a story set in a place that arose fully formed in your mind as the story unfolded. The second thing is dialogue. His dialogue reveals his characters even as it communicates and pushes the story forward.

And I'm sorry, I just love Clete Purcel. I realize he is intensely flawed and there is almost nothing about him that withstands scrutiny-- but, dude.

Kimberley (aviendha) | 10 comments Just finished Sorrows of an American. Nothing blows up, there are no supernatural creatures or earth shattering mysteries. This is just a solid novel on many levels. I really enjoyed it.

Meh, good luck. I found it to be a disappointment compared to the other two books.

So far I'm not getting through it as quickly as the other two, but have to see how it ends.

is it any good so far?


message 26937: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) Two more down. 27 left in this batch. I love when I get near the end of a set of 8 or 10, and I'm so close to being done with most of them that they fall like dominoes. Accomplishment, and off to a new bunch, all at the same time.

The Reversal The Reversal (Mickey Haller, #3) by Michael Connelly -- didn't see the end of this one coming!

The Winter Garden Mystery The Winter Garden Mystery (Daisy Dalrymple, #2) by Carola Dunn -- the second in this series. Took me a bit to get absorbed in it but it paid off in the end. The first one was the same way for me.


message 26938: by tiasreads (new)

tiasreads I just finished I Still Dream About You, which was pretty funny. Next up is whatever jumps out at me from my last trip to the library.


message 26939: by Mirvan. (new)

Mirvan. Ereon (mirvanereon) | 82 comments i am excited to read THE STORY OF THE EYE BY GEORGES BATAILLES AFTER I FINISH THE NIGHT CIRCUS.


message 26940: by Michael (new)

Michael (book_nerd1991) I just finished The Hour I First Believed, it started off compelling but the author added too much detail that I felt drained. I love his writing style but it was not very consistent, hence the low rating it received.

I am about to begin I'll Be Watching You. I read one of her other novels-Wrong Place, Wrong Time and was disappointed. On the other hand, I decided to give her another chance.


message 26941: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished High Five (Stephanie Plum, #5) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich last night and now I've started The Pearl by John Steinbeck by John Steinbeck.


message 26942: by Helen (new)

Helen Smith (emperorsclothes) I subscribe to Granta so I'm dipping in and out of Granta 118: Exit Strategies. I'm also reading The Driver's Seat - both of those are in paperback. On my Kindle I'm reading a collection of short stories: Jumble Tales.

I just finished Before I Go to Sleep and thought it was brilliant.

Alex is The Romance Fox (wwwaromancefoxblogspotcom) hi, someone help ....how do I add the book covers and book info?????


message 26946: by Paula (new)

Paula | 1098 comments click on add book/author, put in name of book and click "add". For just the cover, click cover rather than "link".

If you look just above the box where you enter your text, you'll see a link that says "add book/author" (to the left of where it says "(some html is ok)".
Click on that and you'll get a pop-up box, search for the book or the author and choose to add the cover or a link. After you've found the book you want, click "add" and it'll automatically some text in brackets and then you submit your post, it shows up like this ---> Across the Universe by Paul McCartney
