message 27307: by Riley (new)

Riley Dawson Hushak About 60% through The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America and enjoying it pretty well! For those who are looking for a murder mystery though, watch out--it tends to go into long passages about the construction of the fair, engineering, government, etc.

Night is a powerful read.


message 27316: by tiasreads (new)

tiasreads I tried Wuthering Heights and put it down halfway through. What a bunch of loathsome, selfish, unsympathetic characters! Then I read Hold Tight, which was pretty entertaining.


message 27317: by David (new)

David Abrams (davidabrams) | 17 comments I've just finished reading Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War, am in the midst of Dust to Dust: A Memoir, and will start Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk: A Novel shortly. It's an Iraq War trifecta!

message 27321: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've finished reading The Client by John Grisham last night and now I'm reading Island of Lost Girls by Jennifer McMahon.


message 27322: by Lorraine (last edited Jun 15, 2012 01:37PM) (new)

Lorraine (saanichlori) I'm about half way through Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. While I find details of her life story to be hard to read, the details of hiking along on this trail are fascinating.


message 27323: by Karen M (last edited Jun 15, 2012 03:31PM) (new)

Karen M | 1956 comments We may be starting a theme here. I'm reading Turn Right at Machu Picchu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time which is about Bingham who laid claim to discovering Machu Picchu and the travel editor who many many years later followed in his footsteps/trail and then wrote this book.


message 27324: by tiasreads (new)

tiasreads I just finished The God of the Hive and am about to start The Sins of the Father.

message 27328: by Flora (new)

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) I'm about 100 pg into Fifty Shades of Grey which I keep hoping is gonna improve. So far I don't think it lives up to all I've heard about it. I've also just started Nicholasas well as Red Leaves and the Living Token both of which I like so far.


message 27329: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) Since my last update:

Finished:

Worth Dying For (Jack Reacher, #15) by Lee Child Worth Dying For, 61 Hours (Jack Reacher, #14) by Lee Child 61 Hours and Persuader (Jack Reacher, #7) by Lee Child Persuader, all by Lee Child. On a Reacher roll, always like Reacher, but I have to admit reading his later books all in a row brings his recurrent formula of "town in trouble" into stark relief. I'd probably like them a teensy bit better if I spaced them out and didn't notice that so much. Hasn't stopped me from starting another one, though-- in my "currently reading," below.

The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley The Rose Garden
I liked this more than I thought I would-- I was just on the point of thinking she was going to wind it up as a typical time-travel romance when she changed it up at the end in a couple ways I never saw coming. Good book!

Finished The Ghost and the Dead Deb (Haunted Bookshop Mystery, #2) by Alice Kimberly The Ghost and the Dead Deb -- I just love the ghost. And I like how the author has sort of cleverly expanded his abilities. Be reading more of these.

Absolutely, Positively (Lucy Valentine, #3) by Heather Webber Absolutely, Positively which I was able to read without a pang now that I know the series isn't ending and the new one is out!

Currently reading:

11/22/63 by Stephen King 11/22/63 which is enthralling although I'm taking it slow and reading other things alongside,

One Shot (Jack Reacher, #9) by Lee Child One Shot -said I was on a Reacher trip... And

The Poet (Jack McEvoy, #1) by Michael Connelly The Poet which I think I read about 14 years ago but have no memory of. I'm enjoying it but I think I might like Bosch better. We'll see.


message 27330: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've finished reading Island of Lost Girls by Jennifer McMahon and now I'm a couple of chapters into Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James.


message 27331: by David (new)

David Abrams (davidabrams) | 17 comments I'm just starting Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk: by Ben Fountain.


message 27332: by Karen M (new)

Karen M | 1956 comments Finished Heart of a Knight, historical romance which was definitely steamy. Started Death Is the Cool Night which starts with a death. Still slogging along with The Royal Victorians: King Edward Vii, His Family And Friends but made very nice progress with Turn Right at Machu Picchu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time.


message 27333: by Razmatus (new)

Razmatus | 23 comments still makes me wonder how one can read more books at once and really get into them all... I mean, doesnt it affect the reading in a way that you are not able to discover some subtleties, sometimes important ones, because your mind works on more than one book? just wondering... maybe most of you are able to do that... I for one dont venture into that territory, I just cant imagine reading more than one book with plot at pretty much the same time :)))

Emilly R (rosario0829e) | 198 comments i just finished "INTERPRETER OF MALADIES"by Jhumpa Lahiri,i felt in love with this book and all the sotories in it.


message 27335: by Scott (new)

Scott | 257 comments Finished Double Cross: The Explosive, Inside Story of the Mobster Who Controlled America. If it was true, I now know who killed Kennedy.

Now I'm reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

I think maybe I have a little ADHD. I read one a while then change and read a different one. And I usually have one I read at home and one I read at work.

Claire (clairebear8) | 514 comments I just finished The Other Side of Suffering: The Father of JonBenet Ramsey Tells the Story of His Journey from Grief to Grace by John Ramsey (very good and inspiring) and am now starting Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I read the first Harry Potter book several years ago and this has just been lingering on my bookshelf. I'm looking forward to reading the series.

message 27345: by Timothy (new)

Timothy Pilgrim (oldgeezer) | 107 comments Re-reading 'The life in the Woods with Joni-Pip' by Carrie King. No idea why as it isn't my genre at all! can only be 'cause it's a great read, kicks J.K. and Mr Potter into the weeds, or should that be 'the woods'.
All the best Paul Rix [oldgeezer]
