Just started yesterday and could have just kept reading and reading all day.

[Betsy]

Finished before school starts 11/23/1963 - WOW - and Rainshadow Road-how sweet

[Nancy from NJ]

Currently listening to Summerland by Elin Hilderbrand and reaDing I, Michael Bennett. I have too many books here from the library but what's a girl gonna do.

[MaryBeth]

I just finished reading The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty and as much as I love a good dom/sub romance this wasn't for me. I thought I had read it all but I was wrong, so wrong! I am the type of person that once I start a series I have to finish it, I have to see it through all the way to the end even if it's not exactly my cup of tea. This book took dom/sub relationships above and beyond anything I've ever read before but then again I have to consider the source, this was the woman responsible for Interview with a Vampire. I'm not one to talk badly about any book there are redeeming qualities to any book I think but this went beyond what I could handle for my taste anyway.

I have this book on my nook! I must put it higher on my to read list! So many good reviews.

[Cecilyn]

Finally had the guts to read 's Haou Airen Series. I do love this series but I did not like the ending. It's a tearjerker for me... but I finally completed reading this series.

Right now, am still reading . So far so good... Looking forward to the ending....

[Amy]

Now reading Magic Study by Maria V Snyder! Good so far

[Patricia]

I finished Into Temptation by Penny Vincenzi. I enjoyed this series. I think the second book was my favorite but overall it was an entertaining family saga.

This morning I started a free e-book I got called I Am Alive by Cameron Jace.

[Amoon]

Reading and I like it so far.

[Gargi]

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.

[Gary]

Just finished . This was a typical but enjoyable Sean Dillon series read although dillon was not as active in this book as Daniel Holley. I'm going to start by Camilla Lackberg today.

[Ann from S.C.]

I am reading MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL by John Berent for my face to face book club. Have never read it but have heard good things about it.

[Jennifer]

I read this years ago and really liked it- about a year later I made the effort to go to savannah. Beautiful city!

[Paula]

Ann and Jennifer, I loved this book when I read it and wanted to visit Savannah but as of yet haven't been there yet. I'm glad you got to go Jennifer. Berent made it sound like such an interesting and quirky place to live or visit.

[Think]

Finally reading City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare! Loving it so far.

[Jennifer]

"I imagined I heard a slow, steady drumbeat wherever I went." -- the character of Marie Antoinette in Days of Splendor, Days of Sorrow as things begin to deteriorate. What. A fabulous. Line.

[Stacie Lauro]

Hi, I just started "Gone Girl" yesterday, so far it is very good. I love Flynn's writing style. This is my first novel by her. I finished "Bloodroot" yesterday. It was a very good read. I will start Philippa Gregory's newest book, " The Kingmakers Daughter" as soon as I finish Gone Girl. I love book recommendations, if anyone wants to tell me about a book they read recently and loved, please let me know!

I recently finished Flynn's first novel "Sharp Objects" which i really enjoyed. I haven't read Good Girls yet.

Just finished Hostile Witness by Rebecca Forster 5/5 stars, it was gripping.
currently reading Ulysses, Meet me under the ombu tree, the colour of magic, breakfast with socrates and a netgalley

I thought that Dark Places was her best so far. I would recommend that one before you pick up Gone Girl.

This one of my favorite books, so well written and fascinating. I hope you enjoy it. The movie was also very good John Cusack and Kevin Spacey.

[Jennifer]

Finished two today: A Stab in the Dark as part of my rare-for-me reread of Block's Scudder series, and Days of Splendor, Days of Sorrow , the second in Grey's Marie Antoinette trilogy, wherein Marie starts wending her tragic, hapless way toward doom.

[Claire]

I just finished People of the Book. What a great book and good story, good writing. I recommend it highly. I am now starting Gone Girl.

[Jennifer]

Started four last night/ today: The Dressmaker , which has already sent me scurrying to Wikipedia to see what fashions by Lucille looked like; Murder With Puffins , which is the second in a cozy mystery series that I read the first of several months ago; Sand Sharks , which is one of two or three later books in this series that remain as part of my "batting cleanup" project, and Eight Million Ways to Die , next in my series reread of the Scudder books. Hoping to race through a couple of these mysteries because I really want to read Gone Girl and Rules of Civility .

[Al]

Half Broke Horses Engrossing story. If it gets any better I'll have to move it out of the bathroom. I read her book The Glass Castle and became a fan. A lot of similarities between her mom and my recent circumstances. The author has brains and beauty.

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading by Dodie Smith and I've started by Jane Casey this morning.

[Paula]

I enjoyed both of these books also Al. Hard to believe someone could rise above the way she grew up.

I really liked her grandmother, she was quite a lady.

[Scott]

I finished Seed last week. I really enjoyed it.

Then I started The Black Dahlia. I like the beginning but I didn't get much read over the weekend.

[Paula]

I've been enjoying a couple of children's books:
Instructions: Everything You'll Need to Know on Your Journeyand The Griffin and the Minor Canon. Both teach great life lessons and have terrific art! I'm rereading False Colours while working on reading The Violinist's Thumb: And Other Lost Tales of Love, War, and Genius, as Written by Our Genetic Code.

[Hayley]

I've just finished The Descendants and it was rather a lovely read. I'm now reading The Art of Happiness

[Linda]

Just finished . Gave it a 5. What a beautiful, emotionally heartwrenching read.

[Jennifer]

I just finished Devious by Lisa Jackson and started the Dark Monk by Oliver Potzch (loved his prior book, the Hangman's Daughter and am very excited about the sequel)!

[Ethan]

I just finished Fire Season by Jon Loomis. It was a short, light read, but still carried enough weight to be worth the time.

Now I'm reading Calico Joe by John Grisham. I'm always happy to have Grisham step away from his usual legal novels. So far, I'm really enjoying this baseball story.

[Flora]

I'm just starting

[Janny]

I just finished Stormy Weather and The Snow Child, both for my local book club.

Janny, what did you think of "The Snow Child". I enjoyed it when I read it.

[Paula]

I'm just starting . I won it from Goodreads.

I just finished a novel called : "The Pursuit of Cool" by Robb Skidmore. I really got caught up in it and enjoyed it. The characters were really funny and engaging. It is set at this college during the 1980s and there is a lot of pop culture in it. This guy is a really talented writer and it's his first novel.

You guys should check it out.

Thanks for the recommendations! I think I'll add a few of the suggestions to my "to read" list! I just started reading "The Hobbit" (before the movie comes out)and "Middlesex," and am enjoying both.

I finished the 3rd book in the Maeve Kerrigan series The Last Girl by Jane Casey last night - I really enjoyed this novel and I can't wait till the next one! Jane Casey is becoming one of my favourite crime authors. This morning, I began reading One Breath Away by Heather Gudenkauf.

[Aaron]

Just finished reading David K. Randall's new book called 'Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep'. It was superb. The book takes a look at the science behind pretty well every facet of sleep you can think of from sleep deprivation, to natural sleep patterns (and how it changes over the course of a lifetime), to putting your kids to bed, to dreaming, to sleepwalking (and the bizarre phenomenon of committing crime while sleepwalking), to insomnia, to just plain getting a better night's sleep. Fascinating stuff. I've written an executive summary of the book available at newbooksinbrief.wordpress.com

Cheers,
Aaron

[Jesi]

I'm starting to read the Soul Thief by Cecelia Holland tomorrow, reading Damned by Joesph Sweet and am enjoying it so far.

[Dorie]

I'm reading The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, which is a mid-life quest novel. It's been alternately sad and uplifting but overall very moving.

[Patricia]

I am reading The Paris Wife by Paula McLain.

[Kristin]

Reading , after that it will be and
