oh it takes a bit of time to read 4 books at once. I have a whole stack to read myself. But I have read marked last year i think it was a good book. Enjoy! ^.^
Just started Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore this weekend. Only about a quarter of the way through, but it's great so far!

Totally cool, Jessie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And thanks for that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am reading
and LOVING it. I'm writing some fantasy novels myself and while I find it pretty easy to add romance, gruesome things don't come so naturally to me. But, I love the emotional upheaval that comes with brutal things being done to a main character ... and so I am taking notes! Very much sword rather than sorcery at this stage. But, I'm guessing there is magic to come ...
currently reading
as think the romance triangle with Jem, Tessa and Will is far better plotline than The Mortal Instruments
.. Just finished the
series by Lauren Kate recently and loved it.. Def in my Top 5 books
This book is kicking my butt so far, but I'm determined to finish it before the school year ends, hopefully my school library doesn't get mad at me for holding it for a few months ;)

Yep! Luckily for me my editor has pushed me to re-write some of my fighting. *So* much better.
hello.. I'm reading 'Return of the rose' by Theresa Reagan! I'm on chapter 4 now. is so addictive. is a small book I recommend if you like romance and fantasy and medieval times. bye!
Alternate history detective fiction. Loving it so far. It's exactly what the Automatic Detective could have been but fell short of.
I finished up The Yiddish Policemen's Union (highly recommend for anybody here into the hard boiled detective fiction genre).I then read Animal Farm because I hadn't read it in a long time and it's such a short read.
Now I'm onto:

How are you liking it so far?
Anne Sofie wrote: "The Sandman, Vol. 2: The Doll's Houseand i've just finished : Bleach, Volume 8: The Blade and Me :)"
Did you enjoy "Bleach" ???????????
I cannot ask about Sandman...... Sorry........
I'm focusing mostly on the 'Unsweetined' because it's a super quick read, whereas 'Porno' is taking me forever!

Good to know - I think I'll add it to my "to read" list!
I am currently reading Daniel Abraham's The Price of War, the second omnibus to his Long Price quartet. I had been waiting forever for this quartet to come out as an omnibus so I was really excited to be finally reading it. It's an interesting world and I kind of can't put it down; last night I stayed up and just read through An Autumn War so now I'm in the last installment of the series xD
I just finished the latest Iron Druid book,
Trapped, and it was AWESOME! (I <3 Kevin Hearne!)Next I'm considering
The Name of the Wind. My husband recommended it.

@Kathy, I haven't read Voyage of the Space Beagle, but if you like to read about the "psychological aspects of space travel/exploration," you might like
Orphans of the Sky by Heinlein
Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri, a Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin, and Green Lantern/Green Arrow.
