What Are You Reading Right Now?

I just finished Alison Weir's Innocent Traitor. It was her first fiction book (she has written many historical books on the Tudor period), and it is about the life of Lady Jane Grey. I found it absorbing, even though I knew most of the story.

I am reading "Twilight" because of all the hoopla...so far so good, although I feel a little old & voyeuristic since I am 40, not a "young adult!" it should be a quick read, I just don't have that much time to read it.

OK girlfriend - right there with ya age wise. I really liked this series. I think the first was the best. Finished the last today. Read all four in about 10 days. I have certainly read "headier" novels, but it was still quite the page turner.

I had an interesting talk with my hubby (of 20 years) about what is so appealing in this book as I tried to explain it to him. I decided it is pure, basic romance (on steriods perhaps). It made me think that at the heart of (almost) every woman is someone who wants to be so cherished. Ahhh - so he took me in his arms and made sure I knew I was.

I just started reading "Dead Until Dark" by Charlaine Harris. I am addicted to it! HBO's True Blood got me into it. Its a good book, I'm looking forward to reading the next book!

I just finished "Dead until Dark" too. Really liked it, can't wait to find book 2.

I just finished "Dead until Dark" too. Really liked it, can't wait to find book 2.

Charlaine's writing improves as the series moves along. I found that I had to reread some paragraphs in Dead Until Dark to understand what point she was trying to make. When I got to book 3, I didn't have to do that anymore.

To kill a mockingbird -Harper Lee (For school, but I'm loving it!)
The secret life of bees -Sue Monk Kidd (For school, but again it's pretty good)
Stripes of the Sidestep Wolf -Sonya Hartnett (This is for my own time, but I haven't started it yet.)

How to make love like a porn star - The auto-biography of Jenna Jameson.

Stimulating literature.

I finished, Plain Truth, by Jodi Picoult. All I can say is it had a surprising ending! I really liked this book. The characters and plot were well developed. I was wondering all along about a few things and people. The ending summed it up well. I highly recommend this book.

I'm on a wait list for a few others by Jodi Picoult. In the meantime, I'm reading, Dancing in the Dark, by Mary Jane Clark. She weaves her stories around a newscast crew, KEY news. Her day job is being a producer for a news show, I think for CBS. There was one of her books I didn't care for, It Only Takes a Moment, but I really liked, When Day Breaks, and so far, Dancing in the Dark , is pretty good too.

I just finished My Sister's Keeper. Another excellent book by Piccoult. I think I may pick up Plain Truth next.

I started on the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse series and devoured them! Still waiting for a few more of those to come in at my library. I also finished two books from the Grave series and will be looking up the Shakespeare series as well. But Sookie is my favorite character by Harris so far. I have James Patterson The Lake House in my pile next. Then I will have to start going through my list from here again!

Almost forgot that we are listening to Inheritance by James Paolini. The third in the Eragon series. I really enjoyed the first 2 books, but this one hasn't grabbed me yet. Maybe because we listen to it as we go to sleep??

This afternoon I'm going to start "The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc" by Loraine Despres.

My thought was it would make good beach reading but so much for that

Has anyone read anything by this author or this book?

I'm currently reading The Palace of Laughter by Jon Berkeley.

I am about to start Plain Truth, but I already know the ending, so it is a little anticlimatic, but want to read it anyway since I love Jodi Picoult. (In conversation, someone I know was talking about the ending and I know she didn't mean it as a spoiler, just wasn't thinking about it...)

I'm reading "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" by Chelsea Handler.

She's a stand up comic, and it's a nice no brainer, and it keeps me laughing out loud.

There are also books by Celia Rivenbark that I really like. "Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like A Skank" was pretty funny.

But these aren't novels. Just funny stories that the authors have about their lives.

I'm not really in to reading novels. Right now I am reading "The Disney Way" by Bill Capodagli and Lynn Jackson. I tend to enjoy business books...I guess I'm a nerd that way.

If you like Charlaine Harris, try her Aurora Teagarden series. I'm in the middle of devouring that now. I read The Julius House on Saturday and most of Dead Over Heals yesterday.

I have another Aurora novel for today, when I finish the one I'm on now and then I'll start The Host by Stephenie Meyer.

 

[Pixiedust34]

I'm reading City of Dreams by Beverly Swerling. It's a historical novel that spans more than 130 years starting with 1661 and the setting is early NYC. It's a good read! I'm learning about the beginnings of NYC and the characters are interesting. Some medical procedures thrown into the book as many of the characters are surgeons, physicians, or apothecaries. It's one of those books that I know I'll re-read someday.
