What are you reading?

Just started The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo. I'm actually waiting for book 4 of the Overlander saga.

 

I'm currently 1/3 of the way thru "Dexter is delicious" by Jeff Lindsey

 

I just picked up A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay (She wrote Sarah's Key). So I'll be starting that today.

 

Just finished Tomorrow When the War Began (book 1--excellent!) by Australian author John Marsden. Now I'm reading The Shifter by Janice Hardy

 

I am just starting Me Myself and Why by MaryJanice Davidson. I love her series, this is her first stand alone in a while.

 

I just started the Girl with the Dragon tattoo.

 

Just finished water for elephants :wub: I am starting James pattersons postcard killers tomorrow

 

I'm so glad I clicked on this forum topic. I just read through from the beginning of the thread and I got some great recommendations for my next couple of books. I don't post much in general, but I love to read, when I can. By the way, my girls just turned 2 on October 14 and they also love to *read* and be read to.

I just finished reading The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.

 

I'm just starting The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest after finishing book two in the series. Definite page turners!

 

Finished The Shifter (excellent MG story) by Janice Hardy and now I'm going to read the second book in the series, Blue Fire. (The third book comes out next year sometime...I think.)

 

Today, I just finished the "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Would def recommend....it's a page turner! It's not something that I would have been drawn to on my own but a friend suggested. I have to pick up the next book in the trilogy... "Catching Fire".

 

I just finished Unbearable Lightness by Portia De Rossi...what a page turning memoir that was. I felt like if she was in front of me, I would have given her big hug. I definitely recommend that book!
I am trying to finish The Abstinence Teacher by Tom Perrotta, I really liked Little Children by him but I am not digging this book so far.
Still on the wait list for The Girl Who Played with Fire.

 

Just finished "Vision in White" by Nora Roberts. Really cute. Could so see this becoming a romantic comedy.

 

I got a nook recently and in the past two weeks I've read:

Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey
Heat Lightning (Virgil Flowers #3) and Bad Blood (Virgil Flowers #4) by John Sandford
American Gods and Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick
Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll
and I just started 20K Leagues Under the sea by Jules Verne (which is part of 50 Classic Novels for $2.99!)

I have to let my husband play with my nook so he can get caught up reading the same books I have.

 

Earlier this week, I finished Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer. It was good, a lot like a Kristin Hannah book.

I am now reading The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman. I like it.

Nancy, I was looking at that Portia de Rossi book today. I'll have to put it on my list.

 

Maureen, definitely do. I could not believe someone so beautiful could hate herself so much :cry:

 

The library won't let me put it on hold. :grr:

 

I'm reading Shattered Dreams by Irene Spencer. She was raised in a polygamist family in Utah and then become herself the 2nd of many wives. Her half-sister (and their mothers were also half-sisters) was the 1st wife. Her husband's family lived in northern Mexico and still do to this day. Several of her extended family have been murdered by the drug cartels after protesting the violence.

It's a fascinating memoir and glimpse into the fundamentalist, Mormon world.

 

I'm reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

 

I've finally given in and I am reading Harry Potter. I'm on the Chamber of Secrets now.

 

I started Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. Really good so far!

 

I'm anxious to read that book, I loved the Corrections!
Maureen, I hope you can get Portia's book!

I am reading The Girl Who Played With Fire and I am having the worst time getting through that book :blush: I got through the Dragon Tattoo in a weekend, I couldn't put it down and this one has taken me almost three weeks :faint:

 

I'm about to start Blue Bistro by Elin Hildebrand. A little light reading after Dragon Tattoo.

 

I just started Keith Richards' book Life.

 

This is waiting for me at the library. Thanks for reminding me!

 

Apparently we aren't reading anything :lol: I have the latest Hannah Howell book to read soon but I've been busy with christmas and a guy

The hunger games series! Loving it

 

I finished Keith Richards Life and Freedom, both excellent books.
I'm midway through George R R Martin's Game of Thrones...pretty good so far.

 

I liked Freedom but didn't love it as much as others. I am currently reading The Art of Racing in the Rain which is written from the dog's perspective. Enjoyable!

 

someone gave me the audio book of this - i've never listened to an audio book before, but maybe i should start! i've heard lots of good things about this series.

 

Just finished The Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand, just started The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks - passed down from my mom. I LOVED The Castaways!!

 

Supposedly this is the next "big" series after the Twilight phenom.

 

Jori, I LOVE Elin Hilderbrand's books. I just took another out of the library today.

I just started Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum. It looks really good.

 

I've discovered Sue Grafton. I know, she's been around since the 80s, but I've just found her. I just finished the D book. I'm taking a break to read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

 

I've read all of those SueGrafton books. They make great summer by the pool reads!
