What Are You Reading Right Now?

[Simba's Mom]

Right now I'm reading Killer Cruise by Laura Levine. I'm on a cozy mystery/amatuer sleuth kick, and I picked this one because DS also works on a cruise ship.

The Element.
A book about how finding your passion in life can change your life, and bring success to a new level.

The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner. She may be the best suspense writer I have ever read. I have never figured out the "punchline" of her books until the end. And I have often then gone back and re-read the book, knowing the ending, to truly appreciate how she weaved the story together. Awesome, intriguing and totally engaging.

I am getting excited about the new Jon Krakauer book about Pat Tillman. It is supposed to be released on Tuesday.

Here is a story about it on ABCNews.com:

I've read Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air" - and it was mesmerizing. He is an intelligent, thoughtful storyteller. I'm sure he will have some interesting insights on the life of Pat Tillman.

SO I am not a reader (magazines are about my attention span) but I read the WHOLE Twilght series this week. I started the first book the last few weeks but was only at page 130ish. This am I finished reading Midnight sun on her web page.

I'm so proud of myself. My 2 older girls were starting to read the series so we had 3 of the books in the house already. I'm planning a b-day party for my older by going to the movies to see New Moon so I wanted ideas for her party/cake.

We loved the first movie and can't wait for the next one!

Area 7 by Matthew Reilly Straight non-stop action thriller. Totally improbable but lots of fun!!!

I am about half way through at this point.

Paths of Glory by Jeffery Archer. It is about George Mallory and the leading up to and climbing of Mt Everest.

I read Alex Cross' Trial in 2 days while watching my MIL in the hospital and at home while she was sleeping. I kept remembering how much I hated
John Grisham's A Time to Kill while I was reading this and thinking about how much better Patterson was at writing a truly rivoting novel about the atrocities of the KKK in the early 20th century.

Today I start Maus II by Art Spiegleman. I should have that finished today since it's a graphic novel. It starts up where Maus left off, when his parents were sent to Auschwicz.

I can't wait for Dan Brown's book, The Lost Symbol to come out this week. I'm #2 in the queue for this book at the library. I hope the first person reads it quickly.

I ran out of books this week, so had to raid my daughter's bookshelf. I'm currently reading "Book of a Thousand Days" by Shannon Hale. So far, I'm really liking it. I've enjoyed most of her books. I really liked "Princess Academy," "Goose Girl," "Enna Burning," and "River Secrets." Her adult book "Austenland" I really didn't care for.

I'm off to the library tomorrow morning to pick up "Cry the Beloved Country," and "Their Eyes Were Watching God." Hope they're good!

[rie'smom]

I just downloaded The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown's new book. Also downloaded, Anne Perry's Buckingham Palace Gradens and Execution Dock.

Just finished Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fischer.
It was a one night read. Funny at times- laugh out loud funny but other times so very sad. And it sort of just ended - with no real beginning middle or end. So I say eh. Not as great as Postcards but a light read on electroshock treatment- really somehow she made that all light!

 

[BadgerGirl84]

Now reading Attonement by Ian McEwan. Next up, Revolutionary Road. I plan on staying in on an upcoming weekend and watching the movies.

Sookie Stackhouse series--I read the latest one on Sunday. I can't wait for the next book!
Then I read Hunger Games and Catching Fire on Monday/Tuesday . They were great books. My oldest ds really liked them and I am trying to get my middle ds to read them. So I am reading the first few chapter to him. I wonder when the next book will be out.

I have to take a break from series. So I am currently reading Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac. Oldest ds has been bugging me to read it for awhile. I also started reading The Trouble with Boys by Peg Tyre. I'll have to get back to that when I finish Code Talker.

I just ordered The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexia and a couple of Vampire Academy books from Amazon. I have a few other Sherman Alexia books but haven't gotten around to read them.

It has been awhile since I could find a lot of time to read so I am catching up on my reading. My baby started K this year. I have a nice long list of books to read thanks to this thread!
