What are you reading?

I just started Seven year Switch by Claire Cook. Light beachy type read.

 

The Westing game by Ellen Raskin.

 

Perfect Peace by Daniel Black

It is a really interesting read. Explores issues of racism, sexuality, gender.

 

I want to read that. She is local to the South Shore of Boston. (Lives in Scituate, MA where my sister lives).

 

just started my name is mary sutter, which is about a midwife wanting to me a surgeon during the civil war. bonus it has a twin theme

 

Started The Given Day by Dennis Lehane this week. So far I really like it.

 

Thanks Ladies!!! Now I have my wish list all ready for what I might want to read soon. I just got a Nook for my anniversary and love it. Currently I am reading Breaking Dawn again (I know, I'm a dork) and Jacquelyn Frank's Damien. I like the steamy books once in a while. :laughing:

 

Bedeviled angel by Annette Blair, twin/surrogate theme included

My audio book is the great hunt by Robert Jordan. Try to finish it because I just got the passage!

 

Currently reading Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner

 

Still listening to the passage by Justin Cronin. If any one can fill Michael critons shoes he just might be able to.

Book wise I just finished deaths excellent vacation which is short stories. I am reading a certain wolfish charm by Lydia dare.

 

I am just starting One Day by David Nicholls.

 

Just finished the last book thus far in The House of Night series..Burned

Started MockingJay last night which is book 3 in the Hunger Games series.

 

I am currently readingAbraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, it's much better than Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Other books I've read in the past few months include Daemon and it's sequel Freedom

 

Just finished reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore and have begun Mockingjay!! Yay!! After Mockingjay, I will begin a series I just learned from An Aussie friend who blogged about the opening of the movie over there. When I saw the trailer I was like HOLY CRAP MATE. It looks sooooooo good and based on the trailer alone, I want to read the series. It's called Tomorrow When The War Began and it's by Australian Author John Marsden. It is YA so if that's not your think, you may not be interested. *shrugs* Anyway, I'm super psyched. She's sending the series to me from Australia because believe it or not it's hard to find around here (Barnes and Nobles only had the first book in the series in hardcover.)

Some other great YA stuff I've read recently if anyone is interested is:

The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty (another Aussie author)
Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers
Paper Towns by John Green

 

I've really gotten hooked by the new fiction novel Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. Only quarter into the novel...great character development and emotion thus far and the narrator is a twin!

Just finished reading the memoir Let's Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship by Gail Caldwell. This one had me choked up for a bit.

Really, really looking forward to Louise Penny's newest Inspector Gamache mystery novel which will be available at the end of September!!!

 

That was a really good book!

 

Cutting for stone was good. I just finished down river by John hart.

 

I'm currently reading Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin. It's very good!

 

Just found out they are making the passage into a movie it's going to be out in 2013, which is funny because the book starts around that time.


I'm currently reading no mercy by sherrilyn kenyon

 

Heather Brewer : Eight grade bites, The chronicles of Vladimir Tod

 

Lady of the Butterflies by Fiona Mountain. Excellent! It's about Eleanor Glanville, a remarkable woman of science. I highly recommend this one.

 

Sometimes I'll pick up books that I think my soon to be teenage son will like. I loved Hunger Games and found out that the author, Suzanne Collins, has another series that she had written earlier. They are Gregor the Underlander, and so far I am on book 3 and they are really good for those of you who have pre-teens, or if you like a quick easy read.

 

I'm reading Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich. I just finished Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella.

 

Just finished 206 bones and am reading Juliet by ann fortier

 

I just finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. Now I have to decide what to start next. I had two Patterson's book that came in from the library Don't blink and Postcard killers. Not sure which to read first.

 

I'm bored with the Stephanie Plum series. Sizzling Sixteen got on my nerves.
I love all of Sophie Kinsella's books, so I'm looking forward to that one.

I just finished Mennonite in a Little Black Dress. I highly recommend. I laughed out loud several times and chuckled through the whole book. It's a memoir written by a Mennonite woman after her husband leaves her for Bob, his lover he met on gay.com

 

I just finished reading One Day and I thought that was good with a very bittersweet ending.
I started a book that my BF loaned me This Lovely Life by Vicki Forman, it's about the birth of her preemie twins (born at 23 weeks).

 

I am reading Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life by Steve Almond. I am loving it but the average person might not unless you are really into music. Next up is The Girl Who Played With Fire.

 

I am reading Promises to Keep by Jane Green. It's good. I accidentally put the large print edition on hold so I feel like an old person. :laughing:

 

Glad you've gotten to it Maureen.

 

I'm reading Late, Late at Night by Rick Springfield.

 

I am so shocked!!! :rofl:

 

i just finished Naamah's Curse by Jacqueline Carey & have now started The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde (thanks all for the suggestion!).

 

I'm reading Between Sisters by Kristin Hannah for my book club. I normally read supernatural series, so this is more serious and dramatic than what I'm used to. I'm about 25% through the book so far and think it's pretty good.

 

Good! You got it!! :good:
