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]

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.

[Jodi]

I'm reading The Leopard, by Jo Nesbo.

I'm reading Bang: Memoirs of a Relationship Assassin. Half way through and loving it.

[Emilly R]

i just started "HAPPENSTANCE"BY CAROL SHIELD

[Tellulah]

For any loves of pop culture and retro geek, definitely read

[Timothy]

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]

[Joseph]

I'm reading Howard Zinn's A Power No Government Can Surpress

[Heather L]

Finished reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and have started The Sea of Monsters.

I loved the HP series!

[Ginny]

Just finished War and Peace! My goal was to get this book read during my summer vacation and two weeks into it I did. I'm now reading The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Sparks and Running with Scissors.

[Betsy]

I'm reading "I, Alex Cross " It's pretty good especially when you can imagine Morgan Freeman saying his lines. :D

Glad to hear you liked the series, Nicole! I am finding it charming and magical but I know there are some dark parts to it, maybe later in the series....

[Riley]

I'm reading Desperate Passage: The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West and so far it's really interesting! The writer uses a lot of material straight from letters and journals and I like that better than just getting beat over the head with facts.

That sounds like a really good one! I'll have to put it on my to-read list!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Hey guys, checking in to see what everyone's been reading...

I am finishing up Inukshuk by Gregory Spatz. It's a relatively short book and it's taken me almost a month to get through it. Not exactly sure why this is. When I'm reading it, it's ok. But when I put it down, there is no urge to return to it...

[Ann from S.C.]

I finished CATCHING FIRE and loved it. Now reading for my f2f bookclub LORD OF THE FLIES. And also reading CALICO JOE by John Grishom.

[Ashley]

I've just started A Novel Bookstore. I'm intrigued, but I'm also wondering if it would be worth it to track it down in its original language rather than an english translation.

[Linda]

Just finished J.T. Ellison's A Deeper Darkness. Gave it a 4.5/5. Was afraid Ellison had lost her touch for awhile, but this one was "spot on".

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James earlier today and now I've started The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

[Claire]

Sounds really interesting. Let us know how you liked it...I may have to add it to my list.

Now there's a range of attitude in sexuality...:D

[tiasreads]

This past week, I read The Sins of the Father, The Garner Files: A Memoir, Bombshell: The Life and Death of Jean Harlow, and Alice I Have Been. All four were pretty good reads, but I have to say 'Alice' was deeply, deeply disturbing. I felt the need for a shower after I finished it. (Read it- you'll understand.)

[Sofia]

Just started - I usually have three or four books going at one time ...weird just reading one lol

[Gary]

Just finished and Patricia Cornwell is back in form after a couple of what I considered weaker books. Today I started by Amanda Kyle Williams and it has started out quite good.

[Riley]

I finished it yesterday and loved it! It was actually a really fast read for me (the last 30% or so of the book is all indexes and notes so I was done much sooner than I thought I would be). I'd definitely recommend it for anyone interested in the Oregon Trail/American social history- be warned, it does get a little grisly at parts.

Linda, have you read So Close the Ha..."

Yes, and I gave that one a 4. I thought The Immortals was weak.

Love Life of Pi! Let me know how you enjoy it.

[Flora]

I've just started

[Patricia]

I finished Roots: The Saga of an American Family by Alex Haley which I thought was really good. Now I'm reading Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum.

[Tellulah]

Finished by the showrunner of Game of Thrones. Lovely story.

[Paula]

Going to start this.

I have heard only great things about this book and the first 30 pages are wonderful :)

Rereading New Moon - Stephenie Meyer x

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne this morning and now I'm about to start Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner.

[Tellulah]

Just finished Celebrity In Death. A fun series to come back to.

[Gabriella]

I read Everlost by Neal Shusterman and Peril at End House by Agatha Christie, and now I'm reading Mayada, Daughter of Iraq: One Woman's Survival Under Saddam Hussein by Jean Sasson. The first one was unpredictable and fun, but kind of cheesy, the second one kept me guessing and this one is enticing.

[Brooke]

Gone Girl. It is getting really good!

[David]

I just started The Greatest Show: Stories by Michael Downs, a series of connected stories about the 1944 Hartford Circus Fire. Highly recommended so far.

[Amy]

I just started an ARC of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas.
Review coming soon :)

[Patricia]

I read Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum and next will read No Angel by Penny Vincenzi.

[Vicki]

Getting ready to start Yes, ChefYes, Chef: A Memoir
I just finished Ten Big Ones! I am making my way through Janet Evanovich' s Stphanie Plum series...too funny, and great quick reads.

[Tracy]

Good book!

[Marla]

I'm finally starting on my TBR list and I am reading Catcher in the Rye.

Not as good as I thought it would be considering it is a classic but I am determined to finish it.

I remember having to read that in high school. Haven't read it since. The thing about classics is that, even though they're widely celebrated, you don't necessarily have to enjoy them.

EDIT: Meaning not everyone likes all classics evenly, or even any classics. Not a bad thing**

[Sofia]

Reading , - the only place this book belongs is in the garbage. Having read REAL BDSM novels and being someone that reads REAL literature, this is neither. An insecure young virgin falls for one gigantic a**hole of a man who is neither sexy nor what any woman should consider a "man". Egotistical, controlling, and completely full of himself. I will finish reading this just so I can really understand what the non-reading masses of American find entertaining.
