What Are You Reading Right Now?

[Kristineamb]

I'm reading "Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World" right now. The author tends to ramble a bit but it's a sweet book about an amazing cat.

I recently read this too.
Ready to start another Suzanne Arruda book, The Serpent's Daughter.

Russian Concubine.....really good!

I just finished The Thirteenth Tale for my bookclub and it was interesting. Was great for a discussion but a little dark. I also read Sunday at Tiffany's by Patterson and I enjoyed it. Now I'm going to start The Gatehouse by DeMille. Can't wait, I love his books.

I really liked The Thirteenth Tale! Very gothic!

I just finished the last Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. They are funny, I actually lol, and they take about an hour to read! I have Inkdeath, and then World Without End ready to go.

But I got A Thousand Splendid Suns for Christmas. I love it! If I were single, not a parent and didn't have a job, I would have finished it in a day. But I'm trying to read it slow because I really enjoy it.

I also got Atonement and the new Grisham, but they've been packed and we don't move until the end of March (at the earliest).

I am thoroughly enjoying A Thousand Splendid Suns right now. What completely blowed my mind is that this book is pretty much set in present day time.

Tried Atonement & really, really wanted to enjoy it, but I couldn't do it! 200 pages in I just gave up. Disappointed in myself, but there were too many other books that I wanted to read.

I just finished Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, which can be exciting, startling, and audacious (in good ways, unless you're a major prude, and is also a Pulitzer winner--this is a current trend of mine)

I recently read Middlesex. Very interesting, isn't it? A very different read. It really makes you think.

I like to check out the books the children read so I can know what they are reading.

 

[Pomlover2586]

I just finished "Sarah's Key", "The Kindness of Strangers", and "Second Chance"........all three were wonderful, the first 2 were intense and powerful and the 3rd was lighthearted and mostly fun.

 

[CharityLynn]

I just finished Testimony by Anita Shreve. Very good read, I really like this author. Read her book Body Surfing too. Next up is a Danielle Steele book A Good Woman is the title, I think.

 

[Simba's Mom]

Please let us know how "A Good Woman" is. I have it to read after "Tribute" by Nora Roberts.

 

[CharityLynn]

Tribute is by far my Favorite Nora Roberts book! Enjoy it. Its probably the only one I would read again.

Tribute is by far my Favorite Nora Roberts book! Enjoy it. Its probably the only one I would read again.

Tribute was very good.

CharityLynn, have you read "the Pilot's Wife" by Anita Shreve? I found it to be one of her best.

 

[Dana49]

I'm currently reading "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez. I'm about halfway through it and it's pretty good.
"The Brass Verdict" by Michael Connelly is on deck.

 

[mouseears4life]

I just finished reading Karen Kingsbury's "Even Now", and "Ever After". I had a really tough time finishing the second one because I had to keep putting it down I cried too much.

 

[crazyme5kids]

I've recently finished reading Water For Elephants. I loved it! I highly recommend it. So far the two people I passed the book onto have also loved it.

I also finished reading two books by A.J. Jacobs. The first one is called: The Year of Living Biblically (One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible, as Literally as Possible). It's a true story, Jacobs tries to live a "Biblical" life. Very, very funny. A great read.

His other book is called: The know it all. I really liked this one too. Jacobs is an entertaining writer.

Right now I'm reading Rock Bottom. I can't remember the authors name (I'm too lazy to get up right now). It's just OK, not one I'd say a must read.

Next up is Amy Tan's, Saving Fish From Drowning.

 

[suzimar57]

"he's just no good for you: a guide for getting out of a destructive relationship" by beth wilson (my sister is going thru a bad time with her husband, so i'm reading this then passing the book on to her)

"the duggar's: 20 and counting!" by michelle and jim bob duggar (can't get enough of those crazy duggars!)

 

[TeacupDemon]

I am re-reading 2 books right now, "Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving (upstairs) and "Something Borrowed" by Emily Giffin (downstairs). I hate having to run up and down stairs when I need something to read!

 

[Simba's Mom]

Tribute is by far my Favorite Nora Roberts book! Enjoy it. Its probably the only one I would read again.

Ooh, thanks for that recommendation. Now I can't wait to get started (my "DH is hogging the TV for the Super Bowl" book). I know I've read "Something Borrowed". Is that the one where she dates the girl friend's boy friend?

 

[PrincessKitty1]

I'm reading a mystery by Kate Wilhelm called Cold Case. I remember Wilhelm as a science fiction writer in the 1970s, and didn't realize she'd switched genres! She's a great writer and Cold Case is a real page-turner.

 

[TeacupDemon]

I know I've read "Something Borrowed". Is that the one where she dates the girl friend's boy friend?

It is! I really enjoyed her first three, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and Baby Proof. Her newest (Love the One You're With, maybe???) was not as good, but still a quick and enjoyable read.

Finished A Thousand Splendid Suns last night (great book) & started The Choice by Nicholas Sparks, which I think I will enjoy.l
