I'm reading "The House I Loved", I think I like it, is a pretty calm and easy read.

[Gary]

by Mary Higgins Clark

[Kristin]

[Mickey]

I'm reading Backstabbers, Crazed Geniuses, and Animals We Hate, which is a collection of short essays about topical people and assorted other highbrow pop culture phenomena from Slate magazine. It's an amusing and light-hearted read, which I definitely needed after reading Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil.

[Betsy]

Just finished my Give Away read fom GoodReads that was sitting in my mail-box when I returned from Pa. A nice unexpected Christmas present and a very touching story called eleanor & park.

[Ethan]

I just finished Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d'Art by Christopher Moore. I'd never read anything my Moore but found this to be wildly entertaining, although a bit outrageous.

Now I'm reading Dinner with Lenny: The Last Long Interview with Leonard Bernstein by Jonathan Cott. Bernstein was such an eccentric character, so I'm sure this will be interesting.

[Betsy]

I just finished the last collection of poems by Shel Silverstein (author of Where the Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree). It's called Every Thing on It. It has some very beautiful moments in there (as well as some zany ones).

[Betsy]

Finished eleanor & park and wrote the review. This the fifth book I've won in two years,and it sure is fun. I see Heather answered your question,so give it a shot. It's definitely worth your while. I certainly have had better luck with it than lottery tickets!
Started the Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman. Excellent. her style of writing especially suits this story.

[Patricia]

I finished Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall and am returning to the Game of Thrones series with #4: A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin.

[Eden]

I'm reading The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien.

[Martha]

I will add it to my list, thanks!

I just finished Backstabbers, Crazed Geniuses, and Animals We Hate, which is a collection of short pieces from Slate magazine analyzing whatever is topical at the time (but taking a long view of it, so it's not tied to the time period). There were short features on Martha Stewart, Dunkin' Donuts, Scooby Doo, Antonin Scalia, salmon and a few dozen other topics. It was amusing and fun. The structure (about 3-4 pages for each subject) makes this a good stop-and-go book.

My next book is Sarah Vowell's Radio On: A Listener's Diary, which is a diary of a year she spent listening to and ruminating about the radio. It's definitely a nostalgia trip for me. It's about 1995 so the Republican take over is talked about as well as the rise of conservative talk shows. Vowell also spends a lot of time mourning Kurt Cobain's suicide of the year before. It's hard to believe that this was 18 years ago.

[Jessika]

I'm still working through The Gettysburg Campaign: A Study in Command by Edwin B. Coddington, which is very good, but I'm taking my time with it.

I'm also reading Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier, which is one of my favorite books.

[Sheri]

Just started Jamaica Inn by Daphne Dumaurier. A lot of mixed reviews on this one, but I loved Rebecca so here goes!

[Aoibhínn]

I finished by Sanjay Gupta yesterday morning. I really enjoyed this novel. It is actually very similar to ER. At times during reading this book, I did feel like I was reading an ER script just with different characters! The plot was interesting, gripping, well-developed and well-written. The medical lingo was easy to understand.The characters were interesting, vivid and well-developed. My only gripe about this novel was that I would have liked to learn more about what happened to the characters at the end of the novel.

After finishing , and , which were all lovely reads, I decided to go classic and non-fiction. My classic choice is a re-read of which is still wonderful but unfortunately my non-fiction choice is which I am determined to finish because although I am pushing myself to read it, it is interesting at times.

I've finished reading by Liane Moriarty. I really loved this novel! The plot was very intriguing, compelling and well-written with an interesting and unique premise. I loved the author's writing style. The story was very funny and some parts were quite touching and made me want to cry. The characters were all well-developed, vivid and believable. I found it easy to relate to Alice and the other characters. I was unable to put this book down for long. I was desperate to find out what was going to happen next! I gave it 5 stars!
