That's on my list next... is it good?

[Heather L]

Lori: Not Shaun, but I read The Lincoln Lawyer last fall and did like it. Enough, at least, that I am interested in reading the second book in that series. I keep forgetting to look for it at the UBS.

[Yuliya]

I'm reading Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie.... Oh....

Hope you're enjoying it. I liked this one as well as her others.

Thanks Paula, I am enjoying it. She's a first time author for me but I know I will be looking up some of her others.

Thanks Brenda, I really am enjoying it. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

For another Goodreads Group, I'm reading The Killings At Badger's Drift which is the first novel in the series which was adapted into the English TV series Midsomer Murders. At first I found it veddy, veddy British, but it's easing up a little and I'm starting to enjoy it more.

[Anne (Booklady)]

I'm reading , a good atmospheric crime noir novel in the vein of the late Raymond Chandler.

[Robin]

The Lifebaot by Charlotte Rogan. Bookmarks Magazine rated it very highly. It's interesting - always a great concept: one overcorwded lifeboat and a whole bunch of days to try and figure out with whom your best chances of survival rests.

[Karen M]

Still waiting on so I'm reading

Changeling - Philippa Gregory

[Brenda]

This weekend I hope to finish After the Fog. I am really enjoying this book.

[Sofia]

Recently finished and now reading

[Paula]

I liked both the book and the movie. I read it because I wanted to know how the book and movie compared and get the "real" story. Movies tend to put their own twist on the story. Differences between the movie and the book do exist such as the movie toned Scottie's lanaguage vs. in the book and Sid calls Julie and tells her what's going on and I don't recall that being in the movie. Plus, it has been a while since I have seen the movie.

[Scott]

I recently finished The Black Dahlia and yesterday finished Equal Rites.

The last 1/4 of Black Dahlia was excellent and I thought Equal Rites was much better thanThe Color of Magic. I will definitely read more of both series.

Now I'm reading Casino Royale.

[Paula]

Are you liking Tipping the Velvet? I have read several of Sara Waters' books and have liked them very much. I like the way she writes.

Cool Paula. and woo woo for Iowa!! I am originally from there :)

[Catherine]

I've just finished "Gone Girl" and Alan Garner's latest, "Boneland". I'm currently making my way through Volume One of "The Walking Dead" and have both Gwenda Bond's "Blackwood" and Elizabeth Hand's "Generation Loss" ready to make a start on as well.

[Patricia]

I finished A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin and enjoyed it!

[Claire]

Changeling - Philippa Gregory

[Patricia]

I'm about to start Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me by Chelsea Handler.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished by Donald McCaig earlier today. Basically the storyline of the novel is Gone With the Wind from Rhett Butler's point of view and it was a bit of a disappointment really. Gone With the Wind is one of my favourite novels and I found all the characters in RBP, even the major ones of Rhett and Scarlett, are out of character. There is also a lot of errors that contradict the original, characters dying when they lived in GWTW and vice versa, Melanie knowing about Scarlet being in love with her husband, etc. As a standalone historical fiction novel, Rhett Butler's People is okay but as a complement to Gone With the Wind it sucks!

Now I'm about to start by Diane Chamberlain.

[Erin]

I am reading Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter and really enjoying it. I picked it up after reading a bunch of glowing reviews and have not been disappointed. The book has multiple different storylines, all set in different places and times, and yet it brings them all together cohesively and meaningfully. I think I am going to be sorry when this one is over. Totally enjoyable.

[Brenda]

Did not finish any books this weekend. I did enjoy the time to spent with The Forever Queen this weekend. Not the type of book I read often, but I am really enjoying this one.

[Linda]

Just finished . For historical fiction fans this one serves up quite a reading feast.

[Claire]

Changeling - Philippa Gregory

[Stephenie]

I am finally starting the Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. FINALLY!

[Brenda]

I have that book on my night stand to read soon. Please post here and let us know if you enjoyed it or not.

[Nicholas]

What is the name of Mitch Albom's new book?

[David]

Nicholas, it's The Time Keeper

[Patricia]

I finished Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me. I've read three of her books now. First I read Are You There Vodka which I thought was "laugh out loud while reading on the subway, who cares who stares" funny. Next Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang which disappointed me. Maybe the fame and lavish lifestyle came at a price. Finally this book which was worse. Almost like she had a deadline for a new book and just packed it in. I'll stick with pre-fame Chelsea from now on. At her best, she can be pretty darn funny!
Now I'm onto a much different read...Incendiary by Chris Cleave.

[Brenda]

I am currently reading two books After the Fog & The Forever Queen. I am enjoying both of them.

[Claire]

I am about halfway through Gone Girl and I can't put it down. Wow is all I can say, what a ride.

Thank you. That's what I thought.

Usually, I'm not a knights, queens, fantasy fan, but I'm loving Graceling! I have about 63 pages left and can't wait to finish it. Another series I must complete reading ASAP!

Let me know what you think of the Chrsi Cleave book - I'm just starting his book, Little Bee.

[Flora]

I'm 3/4 of the way thru No Crying For Elena and I've hardly been able to put it down.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Diane Chamberlain just a few minutes ago. It's a brilliant read! It took me a couple of chapters to get into this novel but once I did I was hooked! Every time you think you've guessed the big secret, it moves to another level and you realise what you think you've guessed is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. I couldn't put it down!

Next I plan to read by John Steinbeck.

[Dorie]

I just finished Trickster's Point, which was wonderful, and am now excited to be starting Delusion in Death. I just love Dallas, she totally kicks butt.

Ellie, I really liked it also. I'm looking forward to more of her books.

Get the tissues out for Steinbeck!

Let us know what you think of it! I read it earlier this year, and I enjoyed it. It was something different and quirky.

I know exactly what you mean! I loved this book. I couldn't believe the "big twist" in the middle of the book. It blew me away. I hope you enjoy the rest of it!

[Tara]

Just finished Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life. Now it's on to Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas and Jane Eyre.

I'm also reading The Brontes (Authors in Context) and really, really enjoying it!

i just finished Incendiary this morning. Wow, what a powerful read. Definitely depressing (especially since I too am a mother of a little boy) but incredibly unique in its delivery and hauntingly realistic after 9/11.

Thanks! I couldn't believe it either! Now I can't wait to see what happens next.
