Whatcha reading?

[breezy1077]

I can't believe they've made "The Road" into a movie! It was a good, but disturbing book, just not sure I want to see it visually.



Breezy, my DS is working on Confirmation this year and is studying the Bible, so I have been reading it with my kids each night! Most of my southern friends can recite it backwards and forwards, I'm just trying to read it once!
(Although I know many passages well...) Happy reading!

I am currently reading "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer. I'm not a huge science fiction kind of gal, but working through it.

Thanks minniebeth!

The I just read "Third Degree" by Greg Iles - very supsenseful and good.

Me too!! It was such a good book, I think I read it in 2 days! Right now I am reading "Footprints of God" by Greg Iles. It is a very strange book and it is taking me forever to finish it!

I just finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Now I'm taking a Harry Potter break and am reading Twilight.

I'm reading "Acedia and Me" by Kathleen Norris. It's a non-fiction spiritual book by the author, in which she is really frank about naming an issue that is a lot more common then we all may realize. The author is a brave woman, and it's a good read.

Also, I just started "Blindness" by Jose Saramago. It promises to be a great book, but the author uses very long paragraphs and sentences. I'm determined to get thru it because I think it will be rewarding.

I just finished The Seance by Heather Graham...normally don't like this genre (ghosts/other worldly) but Graham wrote a can't putter downer!!

I am now reading The Alexandria Link by Steve Berry at work...pretty good and Brimstone by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child at home which is another one I wouldn't normally read but am enjoying very much!!

Steve Berry is an excellent author. I have all his books. Preston/Child is a good combination. I just finished reading Cabinet of Curiosities.

Right now I am reading The Ashes of Worlds by Kevin J. Anderson, one of my fave sci-fi authors. After that I will get started on The Magician of London by Mercedes Lackey.

I have taken the leap into the Star Trek series and am currently reading "Resistance," of the Star Trek: The Next Generation series.

I have taken the leap into the Star Trek series and am currently reading "Resistance," of the Star Trek: The Next Generation series.

I started reading those in middle school. But then made the leap to the Star Wars books. Currently I have the first book of the Legacy of the Force series sitting at home waiting to be read.

I just got done with the first two books of the Thrawn Trilogy and decided to wait on the third until I read one of the Star Trek books. I'm trying not to make the mistake I made with the Sharp series by Bernard Cornwell (historical novels). When I read Sharp, I read them back to back and before I knew it I had read 6 books in about month and a half and got burned out. So I'm going to alternate series now.

Waiting in the wings (very impatiently) is Duma Key by Stephen King -- I just found it in paperback!

I just finished "Duma Key" and loved it! Of course, I love almost everything by Stephen King.

In addition to Duma Key, I've recently read:

"The Secret Between Us", by Barbara Delinsky

"Swim To Me", by Betsy Carter

"Here, There, and Everywhere", by Geoff Emerick

I loved this book. Geoff Emerick was the recording engineer on many of The Beatles recording sessions, and he gives a first-hand account of those sessions. I've always been a huge fan of The Beatles, so I really enjoyed this book.

"Here's the Story", by Maureen McCormick

This book had me doing this several times! Wow, her real life was so far removed from her tv character's life!!

I just bought "The Shack", by Wm. Paul Young. It sounds intriguing.

Are you Ready - Bob Harper

It's actually really nice written

I just finished The Manga Messiah which I got on interlibrary loan after reading The Manga Bible (which was a birthday gift). I"m not particularly religious, but I got a kick out of the manga format. Especially the way some of the characters were portrayed. Like Job (or maybe it's Jonah, have to go look) is a man without a face pretty much..he's got eyes and a mouth but no other features to speak of. He looks like one of those pictures of the aliens with the big heads and big eyes and a slit of a mouth.

Right now I'm reading The Other Queen, which is by the same author who did The Other Boleyn Girl,which I really enjoyed. I've also been reading quite a few ST:TOS novels which I picked up at the library for a song.

Just started St. Patrick's Day Murders by Leslie Meier. It's a small book so should be quick and easy to read.

 

[CDoobee]

Just finished To The Nines by Janet Evanovich. It's part of the Stephanie Plum series. I didn't think to much of the first two books but by the third, I was hooked.

I'm reading this series, too. I love Grandma Mazur!! HAHA I am almost finished with High Five. I read, then pass to my sister, who passes to my niece, who then passes to a friend of my sister. We got them all hooked!

The Shack, by William. Paul Young

I've just started it. DD read it and thought it was pretty good.

While at Vero Beach I read A Gift From the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindberg again.

I'm reading this series, too. I love Grandma Mazur!! HAHA I am almost finished with High Five. I read, then pass to my sister, who passes to my niece, who then passes to a friend of my sister. We got them all hooked!

Oooo! Get ready because Hot Six was my all-time favorite!

]The Shack, by William. Paul Young[/B]

I just put that one on my queue at the library. I think I'm #41 in line, so I should get to read it in about 2010.

I received a preview copy from the author for my B-day, read the first 2 chapters then misplaced the book. Finally found it a couple of weeks ago.
Did the same with one of Sylvia Browne's books, finally found it in with a bag of stuff that never got unpacked from a trip to USO and a martial arts tournament. I started The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide, but am putting it aside until I finish Dream Weaver

She's my favorite character too! Don't you think the series would make a great sitcom?

 

[CDoobee]

Oooo! Get ready because Hot Six was my all-time favorite!

Oh, goody! I only have 2 more chapters of #5. My sister will be thrilled when I'm done with it also, since she finished #4 a few days ago!

She's my favorite character too! Don't you think the series would make a great sitcom?

YES!! They'd have to change the dialogue a little, but it would be hilarious!!
