Thanks so much, Kyle. I'll have to download some of these Koontz books and get to reading!!

Aaron Thibeault (thebookreporter) | 76 comments Just finished reading 'The Social Conquest of Earth' by legendary biologist E.O. Wilson. The book charts the biological and cultural evolution of our species from the time we branched off from the chimps to the dawn of civilization. It was really excellent. I've published a full and comprehensive summary of the book at newbooksinbrief.wordpress.com if you are interested in this topic.

Cheers,
Aaron

Jennifer, I loved the Amelia Peabody series, it was a lot of fun! I haven't read the the last, say, five of them, because they started to seem like the same book over & over. But its been a while & I might pick them up. Gosh, now I'm in an Amelia mood!


message 27013: by [deleted user] (new)

Really enjoying "The Pursuit of Cool" by Robb Skidmore. Its a coming of age novel set in college in the 1980's. Its very well written and enjoyable. Check it out at The Pursuit of Cool

Jennifer: Sadly, the publisher cancelled the series after three books--despite reader demand--but Heather Webber has written a fourth book available in ebook format soon.

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.

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 27034: 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.

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 27039: 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.

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 27042: 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.

message 27044: 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 27045: 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.

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.
