    I'm a grad student so unfortunately I don't get to read casually as much as I'd like [or EVER], but I got The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling for Christmas, so that's what's sitting by my bed right now. Hopefully I'll get to read it soon!

    Recently finish the 2 completed books in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy. Its fantastic. Book 3 out shortly and Book 1 is in movie production.

    Currently reading the White Princess by Philipa Gregory. Liking it very much. I saw the White Queen Mini-serious so I read the 3 books, the White Queen, The Red Queen and the Queen Makers Daughter before that. Its all historical fiction.

    Next up will be the Divergent Series.

    I just finished "Glamorama" by Bret Easton Ellis and I'm a third of the way through "Fight Club" right now.
    I keep picking up all these post-modern "man-lit" books that are all gritty and depressing... One day I'll read something fun again.

    The Handmaid`s Tale by Margaret Atwood.

    I loved that book. I read it when I was about 13 and it had a really strong impact on me.

    At the moment I'm reading "The abide guide; Living like Lebowski" . Basically, it extracts the meaning from the film and tells you how to apply it to your every day life. A really interesting book if you are trying to not give a **** about your surroundings and remain in inner peace with yourself :)

    Mostly posting so I can find this later.

    I just finished Minding frankie by Maeve Binchy - typical Binchy - fun and easy read, set in a small town in Ireland, lots of characters. I enjoyed it.

    Beautiful book - really enjoyed it.

    Currently reading The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. Dipping in and out of The Complete Book of Running for Women.

    Have also been reading LOTR books for years, half way through the second, for someone who loves to read and will try a hand to anything, its taken me AGES.

    I have recently finished Chickenhawk - not my normal book, but found I could not put it down.

    Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe (Anne Applebaum) - absolutely fascinating, and very well-written. A treat if you like reading non-fiction.
