    Re-reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon (total of 7 books so far: Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross, Breath of Snow and Ashes, and An Echo in the Bone) in preparation for book #8 (Written in My Own Hearts Blood) being released in late 2013. Can't wait! Awesome series - if you haven't read them, check them out!

    Just finished Gone Girl.. Was very disappointed with the end. It was such a good book until the last quarter of it. :ohwell: I'll probably go back and read the new Bernard Cornwell book again (my favorite author!).


    aarrrghhhh I am starting this tonight and my niece who recommended it said exactly the same thing you did. Now I HAVE to read it...so I can be all nice and psd off.

    Yup, I'm w/you---great book though, Gone Girl. but was a little perplexed at the end. read the other Gillian flynn novels too, Sharp Objects and Dark Places and both are really good....definitely worth reading.

    I would recommend Tana French, an Irish author, I have read all her books, most recently Broken Harbor---but love all her stories and writing. Also just finished Richard Russo's memoir Elsewhere...really great. Am reading Cascade by Maryanne O'hara now, it's ok, not sure I'd recommend it.

    I LOVED Gone Girl-just finished it. Thought it was so different and unique.

    Now: Bone Bed by Patricia Cornwell
    Next: second book in the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett

    eagerly waiting for the 14th Dresden book to come in from the library and for the final Wheel of Time book. Squeal!!

    Love these threads because I always find new things to read.

    I just finished The Dog Stars by Peter Heller; an odd little post-apocalyptic fantasy. Superb characterization, I recommend it if you are open to this sort of story.

    Tonight I picked up The Hobbit to reread and also (new to me) Catch Me by Lisa Gardner, and At the Mouth of the River of Bees by Kij Johnson.

    I read a lot and will probably have finished these by the end of next week.

    Just went back and read the rest of the thread -- you all have good taste in books! And some I haven't read (now waiting in my Amazon cart) -- and my son would love the Art of War graphic novel (he's hard to buy books for). Thanks!
