Decided to read Dying Light - Stuart MacBride (early), but will dip into library books as they are mostly short in between the books I am reading as well.

It is a story of a family of witches by Ann Rice back from the 1600's to the present time.

Well at 01:00 am I finished The Coffee Trader by David Liss. An intresting historical financial mystery and novel. I look forward to read more books from the same author. I recomend it to people that like historical fictiion and all kind of mysteries.
I started this morning Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicky Myron. It looks like an intresting read.

I'm reading The savage garden by MArk Mills

I'm not real big on witch books.The best long book I read is And Ladies of the Club. You read about the entire lives of best friends living in a small Ohio
town. You can skip about the first 80 pages which are boring and might turn you off the book.

I just started first cut by Dianne Emley. I little slow to begin, but its thefirst in a series. Gotta give her some slack.

I'm reading Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence and re-reading I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak

Ok, still reading the Blue Bloods first book. I know, I'm taking forever, just haven't had a whole lot of time to read. So, yesterday I watched Storm of the Century and I noticed that what was going on in the movie with Roanoke and the Croatan stuff is what is based in the book I am reading! I found that interesting. HAHA Just wanted to share. lol

Reading When You Are Engulfed in Flames.

Well I started and finshed today The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K.Rowling I like it not as much as I liked the Harry Potter Series it is a 4 star this time. That's what I wrote about the book:
Good imitation of fairy tales, an interesting look into Dumbledore's character, a good look into some of the attitudes that underlie wizarding culture. I am surprised by how well the fairy tales of this book stand on their own, not just as small bits in the massive Harry Potter universe. I loved reading Dumbledore's part after each story though. How I MISS the Harry Potter series though!! It was pretty bitter sweet. But put something that has to do with Harry Potter in front of me and I will gobble it down with a smile.

I started Sybil last night and kept on repeating through the whole thing "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME"

I have been wanting to read that! It sounds so interesting! I've heard stories and think I've seen a movie about her on Lifetime. How far into it are you?

I am reading Mrs Dalloway from Virginia Woolf, is my first from her

I have read The Night Bus - Anthony Horowitz & Scared - Anthony Horowitz. Will now read Getting Rid of Karenna - Helena Pietichaty.

I am more then half way. It is incredible how the mind will find ways to protect itself.

Though I am not a huge fan of psychoanalyzing I see where it was a benefit for Sybil.

I am reading Into the Darklands - Unveiling the Predators Amongst Us, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's My Melancholy Whores and Kangaroo Dreaming: An Australian Wildlife Odyssey.

I'll probably finish Into the Darklands and Melancholy Whores tomorrow, but I've been working on Kangaroo Dreaming for a couple of months now.

Stopped readin kids books and now gonna carry on readin Dying Light - Stuart MacBride

Lyra's Oxford, by Philip Pullman.

Just finished Dying Light - Stuart MacBride. I am now gonna read Lucky - Alice Sebold.

Hey Guys I won a book through GR's giveaway, Something Borrowed and I can't wait to receive it and get started on it! ;o)

Gave up on Alice Sebold's Lucky. I will go and read Broken Skin - Stuart MacBride.

Just finished reading The Time Traveler, now reading Extemely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer and starting Look Homeward Angel by Thomas Wolfe.

Sandra,
how are you liking Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close?

I am reading slow but sure the book Truman by McCullough. It will take awhile it's huge.

Just started The Ten Year Nap and sure am enjoying it. I remember having a good career going and then finding myself unable to stay away from my daugther too. It becomes otherworldly but really who you are basically. I can really empathize with the characters and it is well written. This is my first book by Wolitzer great writer...

Will carry on reading Broken Skin - Stuart MacBride

Sandra I loved Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Oscar is such a great character.

I just finished When You Are Engulfed in Flames which was hilarious. And now reading Galapagos by Vonnegut.

Will hopefully finish Broken Skin - Stuart MacBride. Will listen to Flesh House - Stuart MacBride. If I finish Broken Skin before I get to Bookaholic_ros's today, I will carry on reading Blood Test - Jonathan Kellerman til I arrive there to do the audio.

I am currently reading Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe. It is a rather salacious tale of this woman's unconventional life set in the eighteenth century. It was supposedly written to give the masses moral instruction, but seems penned to be the sexual best seller of its time. I am actually enjoying it, but right now I am bogged down with the descriptions and illustrations of family and marital politics. I'll be glad when I am through with this part.

Judaye

Last nite I finished Broken Skin - Stuart MacBride. I am now listening to Flesh House - Stuart MacBride.

I am currently reading 2 books...Fool by Christopher Moore and I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.

Just finished The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly and am starting Heartsick by Chelsea Cain, which I hope is good.

Lindsey- The book of lost things is one of my favorites, did you like it?

I just started Coraline a graphic novel (my first time reading a graphic novel) so good so far.

Well I started two:
1. Kafka on the Shore - Haruki Murakami
2. The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafo'n
I am at the beging of bouth books.

It was really good; I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like it, but I ended up not being able to put it down.

Is that the Coraline by Neil Gaiman? Cause I've wanted to read it, but wasn't sure if it'd be good or not.

Ya it is but it's a graphic novel adaptation. I saw the animated movie recently and loved the story line so I was curious how the book was.

What are Stuart MacBride's books about? Many of you are reading him. I apologize, but I never heard of him.

Listening to "The Girl With No Shadow" which it the sequel to "Chocolat" by Joanne Harris. Really enjoying it but wishing I was reading it rather than listening to it. Reading "The Red Leather Diary" by Lily Koppel.

He is a Scottish author that writes thriller novels. I will add 1 of his with a synposis for you Tom.

I have finished Flesh House - Stuart MacBride (Audio) & Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World - Vicki Myron. Will now read Bloodtest - Jonathan Kellerman or A Home for Rose - Jon Katz.

I've just finished Kangaroo Dreaming, will finish Nim Chimpsky later and just started Mayra Montero's The Last Night I Spent With You. I thought that would be a Caribbean book, but so far its a beautifully-written very dirty book indeed.

Nearly finished Blood Test - Jonathan Kellerman. Will read Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K. Jerome.

Lisa- I couldn't imagine listening to the girl with no shadow, it is so nice to read..but perhaps with a good narrarator it would work

Finished Blood Test - Jonathan Kellerman.

Just finished Heartsick by Chelsea Cain and am starting Downtown Owl by Chuck Klosterman; never heard of it before I checked it out, so I hope it's good

Gave up on Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K. Jerome. Decided to listen to The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame.

I am really having a hard time staying focused on any one book...Not sure what my problem is at the moment. However I am trying to read Fool, I Capture the Castle and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. I want to try to finish Angels and Demons this week but the way I'm going I'll be lucky if I get through 2 pages. :(

Just finished "The Red Leather Diary" by Lily Koppel and really enjoyed it! Starting today "Indignation" by Philip Roth. Just a few pages in and liking his writing style very much.

just started blind assasins- AMAZING so far
and water for elephants- entertaining!

I have dipped into and read Michael Morpurgo's Billy the Kid and Cool!. Now readin The Okinawa Dragon - Nicola Monaghan.

just started A Thousand Splendid Suns (a book group read). Hasn't really grabbed me so far ...
