    Just finished Stephen King - Under The Dome. A hefty read but very enjoyable. Some of his better 'recent' stuff.

    A-MEN! I liked it so much. Now I find myelf wondering what would happen if a dome were to suddenly slam down in front of me while I'm driving...or walking...or sleeping. LOL Got right into my head with that one

    I recently got hooked on Beverly Lewis' books. I'm onto my 8th book of hers, "The Reckoning."
    I'm waiting for 2 more of her books to arrive and Nicholas Sparks' new book. Oh, can't wait!!
  • Just started "The Lace Reader" by Brunonia Barry. Within 10 min, I'm having trouble putting it down.

    I love Janet Evanovich but her newest "Wicked Appetite" has not caught my interest. It seems too out there. I'll keep trying.

    I did finish the 4th book in the werewolf "Kitty" series by Carrie Vaughn.

    I am reading the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. I read a LOT and these books are the first in years that I honestly have trouble putting down. They are SO GOOD. I read the entire second book (Catching Fire) last night after getting it in the mail... didn't get to bed until 2 hours past my bedtime. I will probably get through a good portion of the third in the series, Mockingjay, tonight. Absoutely riveting reads!!!

    I read 'Where are you now' by Mary Higgins Clark mostly yesterday (i started it the day before) it is really good!

    Last night i started one called 'the concise Chinese-English dictionary for lovers' by Xiaolu Guo; it is about a 23 year old woman who has been sent to England from China by her parents to learn English. It is a bit of a tough read because it is written like someone who does not speak English like some lines are : "Is unbelievabal, I arriving London," (spelled as in book) and "I standing in most longly and slowly queue with all aliens waiting for visa checking."

    I have had a lot of exposure to immigrants coming from Korea, China and Japan, so as i am reading it, i can 'hear' her talking the way it is written, so i think it is not as confusing as it could be had i not had that exposure.

    Almost finished with Catching Fire right now. I love these books. Mockingjay is waiting for me as soon as I'm done. Love dystopian society fiction.

    How's that one? I'm reading Patterson's book called Lifeguard. I think it has been out for several years, but I now have about a dozen of his to get caught up on.
  • I just started reading the Sword of Truth series. I'm in the first book, Wizard's First Rule, and I'm loving it! I wish I could be reading it right now but I'm still at work. ;)

    I just finished that series - all 12 books. I loved the story but by the last book I was finding myself skipping some of the speeches. Seriously he had Richard give a 3 page speech! I just wanted to tell him to shut up and get back to the story. LOL

    Right now I'm reading non fiction Dave Ramsey Financial peace and David Allen How to get things done
    Fiction - rereading Anne Bishop Black Jewels Chronicles because new books fell below the line. :)
  • Hi All,

    Anybody ever read Jean M Auel's series. She's writing a sixth book thats out next year. I absolutely love these books I re-read them every year and a half. I've never found anyone thats read the series though which is a shame. I'm so excited about the new book. I can't wait to read more of Ayla's story.

    Themes - Prehistoric, Strong Women, Invention, Survival, Fitting in, Spiritual, Mythical.

    The Clan of the Cave Bear, 1980
    The Valley of Horses, 1982
    The Mammoth Hunters, 1985
    The Plains of Passage, 1990
    The Shelters of Stone, 2002
    The Land of Painted Caves, 2011

    Wow, I didn't know those were still going. My mother had these when I was in junior high/ high school, and I read the first 4 then. I remember getting in trouble because she didn't want me reading them. Adult content. She should have known not to leave books around. I have always read everything I could get my hands on. Seriously I read our encyclopedias when I was board and there was nothing else in the house.

    Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I'm absolutely loving it, so much so that I won't watch the film because it will most likely not be as good! x

    I am almost done 'the concise Chinese-English dictionary for lovers' and am thinking of reading all the Kathy Reichs books again next. (books that the Bones Television series is based off of). There is a new one out that i am in queue (#76) to get from the library, i should have it by Christmas, so i figure it might be a good time to reread the rest (even though i just read them for the first time in March, they are really good!)
  • I'm a big nerd. Reading Shadowstorm by Paul Kemp.

    Reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Almost done, though, so this afternoon i will be starting House Rules by same author.

    i said a couple days ago i was going to re-read the Kathy Reichs books, but a bunch came in from the library that i didn't expect for a couple weeks, so i guess not!

    I'm a huge fan of historical fiction. Favorites are from Philippa Gregory. Also, currently reading some classics for my classes. Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying", "The House of Mirth", etc.. We just got finished reading "Unaccustomed Earth" which was GREAT!

    Can be anything from fitness to politics to fiction...



    Me, I just started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoos by Steig Larsson.

    Just finshed reading the Vampire Diaries series. Was not impressed.


    I am currently reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". I thought the first 13 chapters were TORTURE!! It was so boring!! Now that I have gotten past that, its really pretty intresting.
  • Listen to audio book, Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman. Just finished reading Heartbreaker by Julie Garwood yesterday. Going to start re-reading the Twilight series tonight.

  • I just picked up John Adams by David McCullough and have 1776 coming to me soon. :wink:
  • I just finished listing to "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett it was sooooo good, the narrators were fantastic! I might have to listen to it again. Next on my audible.com wish list - "The Room" by Emma Donoghue

    Non fiction "the power of Now" but I'm struggling to get through it. I think Dave Allen's "Getting Things Done" is next on my non fiction list. Should come in the mail this week.
