Linda | 887 comments Just finished Gertruda's Oath A Child, a Promise, and a Heroic Escape During World War II by Ram Oren . Simply amazing. So well crafted. What a tragic and uplifting story of a woman's devotion to a child and the promise she made to his mother. Most definitely a 5.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle was excellent.

Love The Likeness. Did you read the first one in the series? In The Woods? (You don't need to. They do stand alone just fine.)

Both books I've read and really enjoyed.


message 27018: by tiasreads (new)

tiasreads I just finished Laurie R King's The Game. It was the best of the Russell/Holmes series so far, and that's saying something. It was so engrossing, I read it in 5 hours and ignored a Braves game in the process. (We take our baseball very seriously around here, so you know it was a good book!)

Danielle Lemon I just finished reading We Need To Talk About Kevin and I'm currently reading Norwegian Wood.


message 27021: by Michael (new)

Michael (book_nerd1991) I just finished Starting Out in the Evening, it was medicore, it started off good but got very inconsistent in the end.

I am about to begin Where the River Ends

Yes, I did read In the Woods and loved that, except for the ending---was a little disappointed (you probably know why). I'm really enjoying The Likeness as well, so far.


message 27023: by tiasreads (new)

tiasreads Welcome, Jacqueline!

I finally finished Beneath a Silent Moon. It took me several days to struggle through- I'm hoping this book was an anomaly and the next in the series will be back to the standards of the first one.

message 27025: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) 'Nother one down, 22 to go, not reading all that quickly at the moment because I've had a lot of distractions this week! Finished Death by Diamonds (A Vintage Magic Mystery #3) by Annette Blair and what a great cozy mystery series this is. About 40% through Friday Mornings at Nine by Marilyn Brant which I thought I'd find more compelling than I do so far. About halfway through The Help by Kathryn Stockett which I'm actually liking better than I thought I would.


message 27026: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've finished Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma by Tabitha Suzuma and now I'm reading Hot Six (Stephanie Plum, #6) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich.

Kym Grosso (kgrosso1) | 7 comments I just finished reading Fierce Dawn (ParaRealm, #1) by Amber Scott Great book!


message 27028: by Michael (new)

Michael (book_nerd1991) I just finished Where the River Ends by Charles Martin , well I did not finish it. I hated the writing style, got to page 50 and gave up.

I am about to begin Don't Look Now by Linda Lael Miller


message 27029: by Heather L (last edited Apr 22, 2012 05:57PM) (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) Claire: I too was disappointed in the ending of In the Woods, one reason being that the author essentially made a promise at the beginning of the book that was never delivered.

Aww...Heather is In the Woods still worth reading? I've never read any of Tana French's books yet.

Anne  (Booklady) Molinarolo (wwwgoodreadscomAnneMolinarolo) | 164 comments I'm currently reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. Not sure if I quite like it. It is a bit strange and Aimee Bender's use of punctuation confuses me.

Love the Janet Evanovich series. I just started no. 18 on my kindle.


message 27033: by Heather L (last edited Apr 23, 2012 07:18AM) (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) Anne: I read In the Woods as it was mentioned and recommended so much at GR -- not just this group, but others as well. And it was a pretty good read -- at least, it had me up late turning the pages -- but like many others who read it, I did not like the ending.

I'm on a bit of a cozy mystery jaunt now. Started and finished Night of the Loving Dead by Casey Daniels Saturday -- I love her Pepper Martin series. Started Deeply, Desperately by Heather Webber Sunday, but did not get very far as I was gone a good chunk of the day.

Anne - Don't be scared off because of the ending of
In the Woods. It is definitely worth reading and introduces you to some characters that are in The Likeness. IMO, they are well written books and hard to put down.

Just a reader of all three (so far) of Tana French's novels. I enjoyed them all. I'd have to go back to The Woods to know why some others were disappointed. I liked Faithful Place the best because of the romance angle and the crazy dysfunctional families.

Julia (goodreadscomjuliap) | 26 comments I just finised reading The Baker's Daughter. It was a great book and I enjoyed the story, time line and charcters.

Razmatus | 23 comments Memories of Ice (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #3) by Steven Erikson Just such a good book, right now reading a part concerning the siege of Capustan, he sure knows how to write thrilling battle and war sequences :P


message 27039: by Michael (new)

Michael (book_nerd1991) I finished Don't Look Now, forgettable, boring and lame. This is like the third book that is disappointing me, not a good feeling:(

I am about to begin The Best a Man Can Get: A Novel.


message 27040: by Angela (new)

Angela Sellers I'm still reading Les Miserables. It's an awesome novel, but so, so long. I hope to finish it soon, so that I can finally read something else...


message 27041: by Scott (new)

Scott | 257 comments I finished Sandstorm and Material Witness.

I am currently reading Mile 81 and I should be able to finish that on the way home so that I can start The Wind Through the Keyhole tonight.

Hi Angela, I read Les Mis a few months ago and agree - awesome novel but way too long! It's so beautifully written though, otherwise I may have had to give up before I finally got through it. In the end I think it was worth it. I've seen the play and really liked it, but the movie (the one with Liam Neeson) was incredibly disappointing. They didn't capture the powerful, charismatic, kindhearted essence of Valjean at all. Anyway, hang in there, you'll be glad you stuck with it!

Agreed. I really enjoyed that series, too.

I just finished The Cat's Table and didn't enjoy it.
However, I just started The Monk and it's going to be a fun read, I think. Very humerous.


message 27048: by Ted (new)

Ted Magnuson (tedmagnuson) | 7 comments I just started reading 'American Sniper.' The author is a rough and tumble hard guy with personality. With assistance from the man behind the Richard Marcinko saga. It's a fast paced lively read. That's an acheivment considering snipers spend three hour shifts scanning a site for a kill. American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History

Lori (tnbbc) | 10643 comments Mod
Reading Jose Saramago's Manual of Painting and Calligraphy. This is his first novel, but the newest to be translated.

SO unlike his others. You can tell he was much much younger when he wrote this one!
