[Daisy]

I just finished The Curse of the Mistwraith. I really enjoyed it, but I can't believe it took me four weeks!

[Az Zahra]

I've just finish read Isabella a novel by Maulana muhammad Saeed and now I've got three more books that I currently reading

[Daisy]

Started and finished You Wish and really enjoyed it! I'm not sure what to read next..

[Tami]

I finished Half Blood Prince over the weekend, and started and finished The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans. I received it for Christmas last year, but never read it. Now it will probably be reread each Christmas season. Good little book. I am trying not to start anything right now, I need to get my Christmas presents finished! We will see how long that lasts. :)

[Tami]

Didn't last long, I picked up Deathly Hallows last night and today, I forgot my book at work, so I downloaded Treasure Island from Goodreads onto my computer and have started that too. Something I hardly ever do is read more than one book at the same time!

[Heather]

I finished Alice I Have Been last night which was a really interesting read about the Alice who inspired Alice in Wonderland.

I just started The Jane Austen Book Club. Has anyone else read this? It gets some pretty bad reviews on here but I'm liking it so far (only 30 pages in though).

[Ashley]

I finally finished Blue Moon by Alyson Noel. I'm now reading the third installment, Shadowland and for holiday reading, I'm reading Chicken Soup for the Soul:Christmas Magic.

[Niel]

I finished reading Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan

[Meagan]

I just finished The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. They were both soooo good!

[Lindsey]

I'm trying to get through Revolutionary Road. I had to stop during the summer to finish up some books for school, so now I'm trying to get back into it.

[Lauren]

Right now I'm reading Night of Many Dreams: A Novel, Lipstick in Afghanistan, and Some Girls: My Life in a Harem. All of them are really good! I just need to pick one and finish it!!

[Kayla]

Lauren, Lipstick in Afghanistan sounds really interesting! Glad to know you're enjoying it. I added it to my TBR list.

[Lauren]

Kayla, so far it's really good. I'll post a review when I finish it. I really need to get on here and post a bunch of reviews. I'm such a slacker. :)

[Shwetika]

I'll be starting VA:Last Sacrifice

[Kirsten]

I just got Life of Pi, but I'm scared it won't live up to the hype. Trying to keep an open mind...

I'm jealous :(

[Tami]

I have never read any of them. My sister keeps saying I must. Maybe that is something I can get to in January.

[Caroline (Bon Bons and Reveries)]

I finished reading Nightshade last week. I'm reading My Antonia right now-for a class.

[Emily]

I just finished The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt. It was amazing. I cannot recommend this book enough. I'll have a review eventually.

Veronica, I LOVE The Trial! I read it in high school and it is still one of my favorites! Hope you got around to reading it and hope you enjoy(ed) it!

[Niel]

I just started reading jesse Leather by ken norton

[Meagan]

I just finished Fight Club and it was amazing. I completely loved it. (Which isn't a surprise because I <3 the movie!)

[Kirsten]

I just started Cutting for Stone and A Natural History of Time. Both have been highly recommended, so we'll see.

[Lauren]

Kirsten, let me know how you like Cutting for Stone. I bought that one not too long ago and can't wait to read it.

[Charlotte]

Just started on A Christmas Carol for this months read, although I'm not a huge fan of Dickens.

Aha! :') This gave me a laugh - it's so true. My boyfriend loves reading, thank God. If he didn't I wouldn't be impressed.

[Kirsten]

Lauren-it's pretty good thus far. There's a lull in the middle, but I'm told the ending is worth it.

[Sashana]

I just started

[Emily]

And my review of The Children's Book is up!

[Anika]

Great review Emily! I read your review of Possession also. I've never heard of Byatt before now, but I'm thinking of ordering either one of both of these books immediately! Is there one in particular that you liked better, or would recommend I read first?

Anyways, I just finished Jane Eyre, which I thoroughly enjoyed except for the ending- which was good, but just not as good as I expected. I am now starting Vanity Fair and am about six or seven chapters into it. I'm already hooked on the characters, but am hoping the length of the novel won't eventually discourage me from finishing.

Oh, thank you for reading my reviews. I'm not sure which one I like better. Possession is much more exciting to read, while The Children's Book is much more in depth. They both start out kind of slow. I think if I had to pick one to start with I would pick Possession, just because it is slightly shorter and a little more plot-driven. That said, the beginning really drags, so it can be hard to get into. Both are good, so I guess I would just read whichever you can get your hands on.

I have been meaning to read Jane Eyre for a long time now, and in fact I'm hoping to read it over the break. Apparently there is a movie coming out next year, and I want to read the book before I go see it.

[Kimberly]

I started and finished Before I Fall today. Great read, and an emotional roller coaster.

I seriously spent the entire day reading today. It was wonderful!

I just checked this out from my library. I'll probably read it soon.

[Kelly A.]

My Christmas break started on Thursday and I've been going a little book crazy since then. I'm currently reading three books at once: Wolf Hall, The Hours, and The Heretic's Daughter. None of them are thrilling me immensely, but it feels nice to be able to read so much :)

I'm hoping to read Wolf Hall over the break as well. It won the Booker prize the year that The Children's Book was short-listed. I hope it's good!

I ordered Possession on Amazon! Thanks for the warning about it being hard to get into, I'll know not to get too discouraged. I don't know why, but after reading about it I was immediately intrigued!

I saw a trailer for the Jane Eyre movie a few weeks ago, and it motivated me to read the book. I don't like to read book-movies unless I've already read the book. I can't remember when it comes out though... March maybe?

Kelly, [book:The Heretic's Daughter is one of my favorite books!! I absolutely loved it! It's another historical fiction so of course I liked it, but I recommend this book to everyone.

[Daisy]

I really enjoyed The Heretic's Daughteras well! I did think it did started kinda slow, so maybe it will get better for you.

[Samantha]

I have finally gotten around to reading 1984! Though I gotta say, probably not the next idea to start it during finals week. I wanna read it so much but have so much work to do. Good thing break isn't far.

I've been meaning to read some Chomsky. Have you read any of his other books? They all look great so I'm not sure which to start with.

[Kelly A.]

Lauren & Daisy: I really shouldn't have lumped The Heretic's Daughter in with the other two, as I'd only read the first chapter. I'm now about 100 pages in and like it a lot! :)

[Lauren]

I'm glad you like it, Kelly! :) I love that one.

[Daisy]

Yay :) Glad you're enjoying it!

[Jane]

Started reading Bitch Goddess Notebook by Martha O'Connor a couple of days ago and now nearly finished... quite liking it!

[Tami]

I too enjoyed The Heretic's Daughter. Good book.

I finished all 4 of the Luxe series and started Atonement, my secret santa gift!

[Kirsten]

I just finished Cutting for Stone and am planning on starting a couple of environmental policy books. And Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime.

[Lauren]

I just finished Night of Many Dreams: A Novel. It was pretty good. I gave it 4/5 stars.

[Jen]

I finished The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane a couple of hours ago and I think I'm going to start Dash & Lily's Book of Dares next.

[Lauren]

I know everyones already read it, but I just started The Hunger Games!

[Jen]

Lauren, I loved the Hunger Games trilogy! One of my favorites! :)

[Kimberly]

Can't wait to hear what you think of it, Lauren!
