I actually am in love with this trilogy read the first 2 but saving the third because I don't want it to finish. Its not a book I would normally read but I am so glad I have.

[Wendy]

Halfway through A Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold and just started Equal Rites.

[Michael]

I just finished , it was good but could have been better.

I am about to begin

[Paula]

I'm going to start this afternoon.

[Betsy]

I finished Escape by Barbara Delinski. She's someone who I like or think is totally blah. This one I liked.In looking up a list of her books,I noticed she wrote for Harlequin. Excuse my snobbery,but that explains alot to me. Yeah, I know Nora Roberts wrote for Harlequin too. But I have the same either/or reaction to Roberts novels too. Funny, the Roberts. novels I like best deal with magic or the paranormal.I guess I can "suspend disbelief " on the really outrageous fantasy stuff but not the supposedly more realistic romance.

I've finished reading Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell last night and I absolutely loved it! Today I've started A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard.

[Jessica]

I've just finished listening to Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony with my son and we've begun the next in the series, The Time Paradox. As for actually *reading*, I'm in the middle of Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair, and I'm nearly finished with Erik Larson's Devil in the White City.

I found the book to be an emotional read such as frustration, anger, disbelief, etc.

[Fenixbird]

Gary, I am looking forward to reading your review of "The Drop," especially as I have only recently gotten into Michael Connelly. Don't know Colin Harrison?!

100 Vegetables... Trying to garden & LOVE the amazing historical information brought to light by this wonderful author!

[Sofia]

Reading: , ,and - really enjoying them all so far!

[Gitte]

I'm reading The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly.

Two novels of Nora Roberts made me her ANTI-fun. I never took any of her books in my hands. They were boring, slow, and so not true; even they supposed to be about real people and real life situations. One book about grandmother who was in past Russian ballerina makes me laugh because even wrong not existing Russian names were used and so on... But I never heard about Nora Roberts "magic realism” novels. Can you give me titles, please; maybe I will try them to change my negative attitude about this writer

[Betsy]

Sure,glad to reccommend the ones I like... Hope you will too.. They're all trilogies...

Jewels of the Sun
Tears of the Moon - all these have an Irish flaver
Heart of the Sea

Key of Light - little witchcraft
Key of Valor
Key of Knowledge


Blood Brothers
The Hollow - a little Stephen King ish
Pagan Stone

Dance on Air
Heavan and Earth - probably the most fun
Face the Fire

I liked the 1st set best though, although its' romance-y. Let me know what you think.

[Yuliya]

Thank you!

[Michael]

I just finished ,it was terrible.

is the book I will read next.

[Betsy]

Just started a very short novel The Making of An American Quilt. It's quite lyrical and thought provoking about the role of woman and how its' changed.

[Claire]

I am right in the middle of The Likeness by Tana French. Its really good and I'm looking forward to finding out what the mystery is and who-dun-it.

[Tellulah]

Love that book. Let me know what you think in the end.

[Linda]

Started yesterday and can't put it down. Sandford is so consistently "on" I just love his books.

[Patricia]

I'm reading Beach Music by Pat Conroy.

[Betsy]

Just finished about 6:30 this morning How to Make An American Quilt by Otto. Very lyrical,short and touching insight on the roles of women.

[Michael]

Patricia wrote: "I'm reading Beach Music by Pat Conroy."

Pat Conroy is one of my favorite authors, let me know how that goes!

[Olivia]

I am reading the memoir Faery Tale by Signe Pike. Loving it so far. About one woman's search for the magic of childhood in the sadly not-so-magical world of adults.

[Heather L]

Started The Descendants by Kaui Hart Hemmings, not very far into it yet.

[Cam]

Reading by Betty Smith

[Jessica]

I just finished Erik Larson's "The Devil in the White City," and I feel cheated. It was very much like simultaneously reading two stories that happen to be set during the same period. I really expected Larson to somehow join the two into a larger metanarrative. Maybe he tried. Maybe he thought he was successful. If so, I must respectfully disagree.

I'm hesitant to even pick a next book.

Beach Music is one of my favorite books, Patricia. Let me know what you think of it when you're finished."

Michael & Kyle,
I'm really enjoying Beach Music so far. I loved The Prince of Tides but was just so so on South of Broad. So far Beach Music reminds me of a better executed version of South of Broad. I watched a video about Pat Conroy's upbringing and definitely see it's influence on his work. I'll let you know my thoughts when I finish.

[Betsy]

Started reading A Thousand Secret Senses by Tann-although I don't remember hearing of it before now, I think I'm going to enjoy these more than the other two I read. It deals with mental illness and culture, or so it seems so far.

I haven't read that one of his but I can recommend In the Garden of Beasts: Love and Terror in Hitler's Berlin if you haven't read this one. It was a bit of an "eye opener" for me.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Long time no post for me!

I am reading Jac Jemc's My Only Wife, which is really good. I recently finished Amelia Gray's Threats: A Novel.

Funny connections between these two books - which was completely unknown and unintentional to me:

Both are written by women, and contain a male lead character. Both male characters have lost their wives and are grieving them. And Amelia Gray blurbed Jac Jemc's novel...

[Aoibhínn]

I'm reading the latest book, Deadlocked, in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris.

[Wendy]

im reading Equal Rites and Nobody True and probably whatever i decide to start on my Kindle.

[Scott]

I recently read Scar Tissue and You Suck.

I'm going to start Flesh and Bone this afternoon.

[Rich]

I am reading Jasper Jones. Not sure why it is called a Young Adult title as it is satisfying thus far to this middle-aged reader.

[Kaitlin]

Hi all! I'm new here :-)

I just finished House of Sand and Fog, which I just couldn't put down.

I also recently finished The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America, and liked it a lot. I agree that the two narratives weren't well-linked, but thought they were both well done and needed each other.

I really enjoyed The Likeness too, but recommend you skip Faithful Place, which is next in the series.

[Heather L]

Started Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris last night.

[Betsy]

.About 1/6th of the way through Zorro by Allende.I'm enjoying it,but the real reason I'm reading it is because the former tennant left the book here. Not bad taste,if not my exact taste.

Oh shoot, I just bought Faithful Place. It looks to be a bit shorter of a read so I'll go ahead and read it.

[Michael]

I am currently reading Magnificent Obsession

[Karen M]

Just finished Club Dead which interrupted my reading of Beggarman, Thief, The First Excellence and Blind Instinct. Anyone else find that when they borrow a book from their digital library they feel compelled to read it as quickly as possible?

Well, hopefully you'll like it! I just thought it really couldn't compare to the first two.

[Brenda]

Today I finished reading the wonderful book...The Bungalow: A Novel. the characters were well rounded!

[Michael]

Endless Love

I usually feel that way when borrowing books from friends, lol. Finished my own Sookie book, Dead Reckoning, as I'm sure you saw in the Cozy Mysteries group. Now to await the latest coming my way from the same friend who loaned me this one. *g*

[Ann from S.C.]

I just read on my kindel SINCE TOMORROW by Morgan Nyberg and it was pretty good. Now am reading also on my kindel THE DROUGHT by Lily White and am really loving it. Also reading for my face to face book club THE WORLD BELOW by Sue Miller.

[Gretchen]

Hello all,

I'm new to this group (but not to goodreads) and thought I'd share some recent good reads. I loved The Thousand Autumns of Joseph De Zoet; not light reading but well worth it. Very much enjoyed A Monster Calls, an illustrated YA novel that tackles a tough topic. Am currently rereading A Wrinkle in Time, which I probably last read many decades ago. I need to learn how to hyperlink to titles! Am now looking for a good, meaty "summer" read. Two I really liked in recent years were The Passage and The Gargoyle. Any suggestions along those lines would be appreciated.

[Paula]

I just finished Loving Frank by Nancy Horan, which I really liked. I then started Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James. What do they have in common? I'm not sure other than a passionate love affair. I'm anxious to see what all the hype is about Fifty Shades of Grey.
