Second Honeymoon by James Patterson

[Victoria]

Having just come back from Mexico, I couldn't resist rereading Like Water for Chocolate.
I loved how sensual this book was when I read it years ago, and I must say, it is even better the second time. The pages are peppered with flavor and passion for all things culinary and is the perfect tribute to Mexico.

[Sarah]

Finished - best book I have read on race issues in America so far. This book is brilliant.

Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra

[Claire]

Currently reading "The lost city of Z" by David Grann for my Brazil read.The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon

Its about a british explorer who enters the amazon to try and locate the legendary city - but the disappear. Many explorers went in to try and find him but many dies or disappeared. True story!

Its being made into a film currently by Brad Pitts production company - and will star Benedict Cumberbatch as the explorer. So definitely want to see that too.

[Dee]

i've been sooo bad about keeping up with my around the world challenge...but i'm going to do better

i'm listening to I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban which i'm still kind of ambivalent about because right now (3 cd's out of 9 in), i'm getting a good lesson in pakistani history, but not so much about her - but i'm sure that will change

Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Drayson

[Sandra]

Just finished The Signature of All Things that I found boring. I gave it 2 stars just because I really like Gilbert's prose.
Before it I read the Hanger Games series. A wonderful YA series really!
I'm still working on The Visionist, and really having problems swallowing it.
When I'm done with it I'll go through The Rosie Project and Y: a novel.

[Sarah]

Got me some great non-fiction going on - and - both are really good.

I loved - what a quirky and funny story. It was so enjoyable. I have Y: A Novel on my tbr - didn't get the highest ratings but the synopses really intrigued me and I still want to check it out.

[Mj]

I quite enjoyed Y. I found it mesmorizing and thought provoking and found the author really drew me into the story. Hope you enjoy it.

[Sarah]

Yeah, when I get to it someday...

[Jason]

I'm reading this right now, which is the most frightening and inventive novel I've ever read about the Far East:

[Chinook]

Fairy Tales from the Arabian Nights. Only one story in so far though.

[Sarah]

[Jennifer]

I just finished and really enjoyed it.
Now starting

[Neil]

I just started JOYLAND. By Stephen King. While a little slow to start, King sure can create compelling characters in interesting situations.

[Nabse]

Having just finished Harmattan by Gavin Weston, and before that, having read Behind the Beautiful Forevers (Katherine Boo), I have now moved on to Say You're One of Them by Uwem Akpan.

I have good things to say about all of them (see my reviews), however, I will be looking for something significantly more cheerful for my next read....

[Som]

(75 pages in to this one of a kind genius of a book, poetic prose..have a feeling this is going to be my fav book of all time, my very own holy book..can't get any better than this!!)
“My past is everything I failed to be.”

(50 pages in, somewhere @ life's meaningless as much as death so what's the point of suicide!? enh..)

[Samantha Clark]

My fiance recommended I read this, and so far, it's surprising addictive:)

[Athena Shardbearer]

A Discovery of Witches It's pretty good so far!

[Sandra]

My last reads have been:
The Visionist that was not what I was expecting. It didn't really catch my attention,
The Rosie Project that was so funny and enjoyable!
Y that was just ok,
Orphan Train, a really great historical fiction,
and The Silkworm, another incredible Cormoran Strike novel, really recommendable.
Now I'm working on Olive Kitteridge and not really enjoying it. I don't know why it won a pulitzer!

[Esteban]

"In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote

[Sarah]

Listening to - really good.

[Sandra]

Just finished Olive Kitteridge, and really didn't enjoy it. But in any case it will do a good discussion next week in my book club meeting.

I'm reading now Reconstructing Amelia and Blackbirds.

[Sandra]

Just finished Reconstructing Amelia that was a great mystery, with a clever plot and an absolutely page turner.

Still working on Blackbirds and I started yesterday The Help by Kathryn Stockett. So far so good.

[Jennifer]

Just finished , which I enjoyed.
Now reading

[Sarah]

Listening to .

[Sandra]

Just finished The Help, a beautiful historical fiction.

I'm still reading Pride and Prejudice and starting today The Perfume Collector

I'm sure you'll enjoy it Hattie!

[Sandra]

Just finished The Perfume Collector by Kathleen Tessaro. I was happily surprised by this novel. I enjoyed the journey through different places and times, but I especially loved the the journey through scents.

I'll start today The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure.

[Jennifer]

Reading - so far so good.

[Laura]

i'm starting to read wonderstruck. can you guys review it for me? i've heard its quite good.

[Laura]

hey guys i'm a new member.

[Sandra]

Just finished The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure. It was an interesting story in a good picture of Paris under Nazi occupation.

Now starting The Light in the Ruins by Chris Bohjalian. I read Midwives by this same author a couple of years ago for my book club and liked it a lot.

[Nabse]

Sine my last post, I have finished Say You're One of Them by Uwem Akpan, Baking Cakes in Kigali by Gaile Parkin and All our Names by Dinaw Mengestu (I've posted a reviews on all of them).

I'm now on Season of Migration to the North (very good but slow going), My Fathers' Daughter by Hannah Pool (a fast read which I am enjoying a lot!) and, feeding my other addiction, Anfield of Dreams (interesting social history of Liverpool - not "just" about football).

[Nabse]

(When I've finished one of those I'll be moving on to the Painted Veil, which is ready and waiting - I want to join in the discussion...)

The Painted Veil

[Courtney]

I'm currently reading Alphabet Weekends

This one is in my TBR pile. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

[Sarah]

and loving it so far.

[Nabse]

And I've finally manage to start

[Sandra]

I'm done with The Light in the Ruins by Chris Bohjalian. It's an enjoyable novel that has romance, mystery, and a good description of the events in Italy during WWII. It was really interesting to read about those events. Does any of you know about other historical fiction novel set in the same period and scenario? I only know about A Thread of Grace and I plan to read it soon. But I'd like to read a little more.

I started yesterday One Breath Away by Heather Gudenkauf, and I'm trying to resume Pride and Prejudice.

[Brittany]

Mirian by D.S. England

The Mountain Place of Knowledge by Marshall Chamberlain

[James]

I'm reading after reading

In case you don't know, they both take place in both Indianapolis (US) and Amsterdam

[Donna R]

Just now I have two 'door stoppers' on the go -

Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

Recent television interviews of each author prompted my decision. One on Kindle the other paper and so far the K is winning most of my attention - definitely easier to read in bed!

[Sandra]

Just finished One Breath Away by Heather Gudenkauf. Her style is similar to Jodi Picuolt's. I liked it but I didn't love it.

I'm starting today The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls for my August Book Club meeting.
