Whatcha reading?

[TheGoofster]

I just started Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz yesterday.
Good name for the book, because it does seem rather odd. But Koontz is a good writer, so it's easy to get into the story.

I too am hooked on the Stephanie Plum series of books. I started last week and am just about finished Book #5. I will be ordering the remaining series so that I continue reading one after the other. Guess I should also order the Plum Loving books mentioned above

Sure love Morelli!

I just finished Dean Koontz's The Darkest Evening of the Year. Have any of you read this yet? I have to say that I'm disappointed with it! I absolutely love the way he brings a dog into his stories, but this one was just not as good as his other books. It seemed very disjointed and all over the place.

 

[HerdOHuds]

Yeah, I read Darkest Evening of the Year and was sorry I had bought the hardback. The inside flap description seemed so promising, but it wasn't his best work.

I am trying to complete Stephen King's Insomnia. I am almost to the end and really don't care how it ends, but after the time invested it seems a shame to not at least finish the darn thing. I have SK's Just Before Sunset waiting for me at the library and I hope that one is better. I think it is short stories.

Just to shut my two DDs up I just started reading Twilight last night. Funny thing is I promised to take youngest DD to see the movie this afternoon. Wonder if I will be able to finish the book after seeing the movie?

I just finished "8 Sandpiper Way" by Debbie Macomber

I've read all of this series that's currently in paperback. Can't wait for the next one to be released.

The Winding Ways Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini
The New Years Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini

I'm going to have to look those two books up. I love her quilt books!

Sure love Morelli!

Me too! And when Ranger calls her "Babe" I could just melt.

Yes, even with 4 kids, one a preemie newborn, I still find time to read. It is one of my "vices". I read 2-4 books a week usually.

I've only got two kids who are basically grown, but I always found time to read, even if that meant I got up just a little early to have time to myself.

I purchased this recently. I hope that I'm not too disappointed.

I read this recently and am glad I did before seeing the movie, which I hope to see soon. I liked it for the most part but have heard that the movie is a little hokey. This came from a teenage girl.

Listening to Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns. Not a recent book but very good. Also People of the book by Geraldine Brooks. Oh and of course my little bit of mind candy - Tribute by Nora Roberts. Anyone else picture the people in the books?

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Mercy by Jodi Picoult, will have it finished tonight.

I read it earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Finished Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich. There were some really funny parts in this one.

 

[MushyMushy]

I really need a new book! I just went through my shelves and nothing is appealing to me at all. I just finished Pigtopia, which was okay. I forget who wrote it, Kitty Hamilton or something? It's about a 30something year old man who was born with an enlarged head and he was badly abused by his mother growing up. He befriends an adolescent young girl. 30something deformed man + adolescent girl = not gonna end well. Ya think?

noon.

That's terrible! I have about 25 books I have never read and nothing has jumped out at me.......I need to pick something ~ with me different moods make me want to read different authors/genres.

End of lunch, end of The Paid Companion by Amanda Quick. I haven't read this type of book in a long time. A little bit of loosey, goosey, not in too much detail and some suspense.

I did like a sentence in the book on the next to the last page. "Money is not the most important thing in the world but it is a useful commodity."

Les Fleurs Du Mal - Charles Baudelaire
and
Psycho House - Robert Bloch

 

[pfishgirl]

I just got started on the second book in the Southern Vampire mysteries, Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris.

I'm also very slowly working on Deepak Chopra's Life After Death, which was recommended to me by someone after my mother died.

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

What are you reading?

I just started Book 1... Dead until Dark..

I watched the series on HBO and now I NEED to read the books..

I can't wait until Summer for series 2

 

[HerdOHuds]

Finally finished Insomnia by Stephen King. Not my favorite. Not on the first page of my favorites by him. But it was moving at the very end. Didn't really see that coming.

Now I am in the middle of The Good Guy by Dean R. Koontz. Typical for him. He is a little wordy for my taste, but as long as I read him and don't try and listen to his books on CD, I am okay. I am a very effective skimmer.

I am saving Salvation in Death by J D Robb (Nora Roberts) for the drive to Disney, but it won't get me through the first day so I had better stock up on big fat books!

I've read a couple of her "In Death" books and decided to go back to the beginning and read them. Finished Naked in Death this week. Now I know how Dallas and Rourke met.

Twilight

I saw the movie and didn't hate it, so I figured I'd give the series a shot. Not half as good as the HP series but I'm liking it.

I thought parts of the book were a little on the slow side but I'm interested in reading the other three and going to see the movie.

Just got done reading a couple Jane Porter books, Flirting with Forty, Mrs. Perfect and Odd Mom Out. Stephen King's Duma Key was the one before them.
