I read that. I thought it was okay. His writing is good, and it is a very unique book. But I just didn't care too much for the story.

[Cecilyn]

Just finished reading last week... Am contemplating on which to read next...

[Bryn]

John Cowper Powys, Porius. He's been a discovery for me this year and I have a pile of his... I like this setting most, Wales in the year 499, after the Romans, a mess of peoples/tribes and religions in conflict. Glorious book, if heavy and eccentric.

I'm doing a weird thing. I read Crime and Punishment, finished last week, and - started again. Twice in a row, don't even know why. It must be talking to me at the moment. I worship Dostoyevsky but I've never been that keen on C&P. Seem to be now.

I've already finished Visions of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich, which was a short but hilarious novel, an now I'm about to start reading The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen.

[Paula]

I just started Sister

[Karen M]

I'm reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and for something completely different The Witch's Ladder.

I quite like it, but there are some parts that just aren't that interesting.

Currently reading , and I think I have (temporarily) given up on

I'm just about finished by Jack Higgins.

[Brenda]

For a discussion I am reading Lonestar Angel I am enjoying it.

[tiasreads]

I just finished . It was okay, but not a page-turner like most of this series. My next read will be... whatever I can turn up at the library tomorrow.

Just finished The Bellman Chronicles. What a read that was. Loved it and was horrified at the same time by people's behaviour.

If horror at people's behavior is your thing,try "Gone Girl". I read the blurb for your book. Is it a memoir? Now that would really be scary! :D

[David]

I'm about halfway through Glaciers by Alexis M. Smith. It's a short novel, beautifully printed by Tin House Books, about a day in the life of a Portland librarian. She collects paper ephemera (old postcards, letters, etc) and the story moves back a forth between the present and her memories of a childhood in Alaska. Highly recommended!

[Flora]

I just finished The Road to Hell which was awesome. And currently I'm about 2/3 of the way thru The Dragonslayer's Sword which has been really good so far.

How did you enjoy Off Balance. I watched a program with one of the sportcasters about her disabled sister - what a woman!

I really liked it. I love watching gymnastic and I remember watching Dominque and the Magnificient Seven. A little jumping around and some instances of repetitiveness. I knew about her emancipation from her parents, but was unaware of an additional sister. Her life story was interesting and I learned more about her and the sister she never knew she had was such an inspiration! It also mentioned the Karolyis and their coaching techniques etc. It was a quick and I purposely read it during the gymnastics portion of the summer Olympics. Shawn Johnson also has a book out and I'd like to read that as well. I must be on an Olympic Gymnast Biography kick.

[Catherine]

I've just received my copy of Kendare Blake's "Girl of Nightmares", which I'm looking forward to reading. I really enjoyed "Anna Dressed In Blood" previously!

Thanks for your thoughts. I wish you could see the piece on her sister. The people who adopted her taught her there is no word can't and she never believed there was. I am now really interested in reading this book.

[Nancy from NJ]

I just finished The Killing Floor and while I enjoyed it, I can't even count up the number of people who were killed in this book.

I decided to wait to read Back Spin and Friends Forever. I have so many books I want to read and reserved books waiting for me at the library soooo

I will decide later today what I will read. To be honest its hard to read three books at the same time but I do like the Kindle at night when my husband is asleep.

[Claire]

Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen this morning and now I'm about to start I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.

[Paula]

I'm reading No One Is Here Except All of Us by Ramina Ausubel. It's a little slow starting out, but I hope it gets better! Has anyonevelsecread this? If so, what did you think of it?

[Ann from S.C.]

Finished RAPTURE OF CANNAN, now will start 11th HOUR by James Patterson.

[Ethan]

I just finished I, Michael Bennett by James Patterson. This series has been one gem amongst many of Patterson's recent travesties. While there really was no ending, probably in anticipation of another Bennett novel, I still found this to be an entertaining read.

Now I'm working on Fire Season by Jon Loomis. I haven't read the first two novels in this series, so it will be interesting to see how this one is.

I've been on a mystery/thriller kick lately, but I'm looking forward to changing things up a bit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Gabriella]

I'm reading The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo.

I am about to begin I, Michael Bennett. I really enjoy Michael and his brood and think this is a pick me up from Patterson's recent drivel.

If you're into mysteries/thrillers, have you read and of David Rosenfelt's books featuring Andy Carpenter and Lee Child's books featuring Jack Reacher. Another author I enjoy is Dennis Lehane and his Pat and Angie series.

[Betsy]

I'm about 4/5ths through Stephen Kings', 11/23/63 ,and inhaling the atmosphere of the times and feeling absorbed into the characters. It's almost 2 in the morning and I don't want to quit.

[Sadie]

I've just finished Shadows of the Past. I'm about to start Shadow Boxer and Murder Takes Time. I didn't purposely choose two shadows in a row either.

[Jennifer]

Have finished Gone Tomorrow (and am now out of Reacher until a new one comes out, dammit); Very Valentine (at least there are two more to go in this trilogy so I'm not entirely bereft); Skirting the Grave (love this series but found this one harder to follow than the others for some reason. One to go here before I'm stuck waiting...); The Sins of the Fathers (I'm rereading this series-- not by accident-- but it turns out I'm reading them in order, which is ENTIRELY by accident!) all within the last week or so. So now I'm in the middle of Time to Murder and Create and Days of Splendor, Days of Sorrow . Been awhile since I picked up a European historical royalty read.

I so couldn't put this down that I read it all day on my phone in lines at Disney-- and the phone died about 20 pages from the end!!!!!!!

I'm reading Dead in the Family - very cozy.

[Ly]

Have just finished I Will Plant You a Lilac Tree: A Memoir of a Schindler's List Survivor, not quite up to expectations ... just started The Fault in Our Stars EXPECTING EXPECTING!!!

[Scott]

I finished The Lies of Locke Lamora. I enjoyed the book but for some reason it just took me forever to finish it.

Now I'm reading Seed. Enjoying it so far.

[Karen M]

Reading and , both holding my attention.

Waiting on from the digital library.

[Catherine]

I've just finished Catherynne M. Valente's "The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making", which is kind of a cross between "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz". (Highly recommended if you enjoy reading fantasy). Now I'm part of the way through Elizabeth Wein's "Code Name Verity", which is also pretty good so far.

Not much I could do except gripe and complain to my husband-- and plug the phone into the charger the second I got in the car....
