The Vampire Diaries-The Awakening and The Struggle

[Jason]

Just finished Only Time Will Tell. This book is Jeffrey Archer at his best. I have to admit, it's the best book I've read so far (out of 18 books) for 2011. It's such an emotional book. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Mr. Archer's previous works.

Currently starting on 11/22/63. Anyone else is reading this?

I recently discovered Lee Child and really like his books. I'm reading them in order and I haven't been disappointed in any of his books so far.

Probably need to start with the Jack Reacher series myself. Seems like everyone is raving about it. Must be really good.

I'm rereading

[Gayatri]

About to finish and then read

[Libby]

I'm reading THE INFORMANT by THomas Perry. It's one of the sequels to his very first novel, THE BUTCHER'S BOY. This is a man who knows how to tell a story. The incredible thing is that most of it is narrative, and you might think it would be boring. But it's not. It's addictive.

I should say I have an advanced copy. It will be out in May.

[Scott]

Read and loved Wendy and the Lost Boys

[Tay]

Finished and starting

I read The Enemy and Blindsighted,Tay. Both great books!"

Blindsighted was a great intro to Slaughter's Grant County series. It was fantastic.

[Keith]

finished Crusade now for a bit of light reading death before finish reading fall of templars

[Tay]

Just finished Blindsighted

I thought it was okay. She is a good storyteller but there were too many characters that I got mixed up for a little bit. I figured out the killer about halfway in but still some good things about it but there were some minor flaws in it.

[Lisa]

I got bored with the classic list I started working on, LOL, although I finished Jazz & loved it. I actually picked up a "free read" book that's been sitting on my shelf for months:

The Pirate's Daughter-it's about a mother, daughter, & Errol Flynn's sojourn in Jamaica. So far it's been a light, easy read, but a good one too.

[Bill]

I am currently reading A Touch Of Frost by R.D. Wingfield and enjoying very much. I've just started The Leper of Saint Giles by Ellis Peters, the 5th in the Cadfael series.

[Tay]

Just started and loving it .

[Brenda]

I am currently reading Missing Mark, I was in the mood for a cozy mystery.

[Libby]

Just started RAVEN BLACK by Ann Cleves which is set on the Shetland Islands. Wasn't sure I would like that isolated a setting, but it's a terrific read. Won a Dagger Award too...

[Lisa]

I recently finished Jazz by Toni Morrison, The Cartoon History of the United States, The Pirate's Daughter & Matanzas Bay.

Am currently starting The Robber Bride, & The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test. Both of those are 1001 Boxall list books.

I'm at 81 for my 100 book challenge since I started counting, but I know I read more than that, WAY more than that. I just have to keep better track next year, LOL.

[Tay]

Just finished and like it. I just started

[The Pirate Ghost]

Finished The Hidden Oasis by Paul Sussman on Audio book. I found it to be a good ready. Enjoyed it.

I'm about three quarters of the way through Fool Moon by Jim Butcher and it's better than the first one by far (Fool Moon is Dresden 2)

and I can't wait to read C.L. Bevill's Bubba and the Missing Woman (Bubba Snoddy #3).

[Jillyn]

I just received my copy of It's promising so far, and I love the weird binding.

I enjoyed Fool Moon very much; I like Butcher's style.

[Tay]

Finished . I have to say it's been a long time since John Grisham had a great book and this was one of his best in a long time. I am now starting The Hunger Games

Ooh, that's on my tbr shelf! ..."

I enjoyed it. It was an odd little story, but it was definitely unique. I still can't get over how cool the binding/packing is!

I'm currently reading as a first reads win.

The little prince sounds cute!

[Mike]

Reading Blue Blood with some urgency. This is an odd book for me. I have had to renew it twice at the library because it is simply a "dense" book. I love the author's literacy and skill with the language and obvious knowledge of "the job" - I served as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff in our county and so can identify with some small part of his observations. His tendency to wander off into family histories, etc. is interesting, but I'm not sure germane to the main story. I have some extra time this week and plan on attacking this book front-on and getting through it.

Gossip Girl

[Dierdra]

I am reading if you like books about haunted houses, this is REALLY good! It is so hard to put down! The only reason I have not finished it yet is because I have such a horrible cold and my eyes keep watering up so bad I can't see so I have to take breaks! Oh that and my kids keep distracting me! Dang kids! =P (teasing of course)

[Linda]

Ooh, that sounds great!! (must find, must find, must find!)

Hope you feel better soon :)

Me too! I feel better then I have the last few days (which were spent in bed mostly sick :( ) today at least I have been able to get up and get around more. :)

let me know what you think of the book if/when you get around to reading it!

[Jillyn]

I'm reading and so far I don't like it at all.

[Nancy from NJ]

I am currently reading and am really enjoying it. My favorite genre is Historical Fiction and with this title almost 1,000 pages long and two more books proposed for this trilogy I am in 7th heaven.

This past year I rad 140 books and my current read will be my first completed read for 2012.

[Linda]

Oh gracious! I think I've found another book to add to my list, I love historical fiction, have you ever read it's the first in a trilogy and I LOVE the first two books (haven't had a chance to read the 3rd yet)

[Cristina]

I'm currently reading

I read all three of these books and while I enjoyed the latter two, The Winter Rose and The Wild Rose, neither of them entranced me quite the way the first one did. Don;t get me wrong they are worthwhile reads but I simply loved The Tea Rose.

[Bill]

First book of 2012 is The Wasp Factory by Iain M. Banks. Just getting in to it and it has drawn me in already Looks very interesting.
