    'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett was a very good read. I'm considering Steve Harvey's 'Act Like a lady, Think Like a Man' ...

    I am reading A Song Of Ice and Fire Series. I am on book 4. It is sooooooo good. they are pretty long but so addicting. Also in a few weeks the HBO series based on the books starts. SO excited!! I have a Kindle and am always reading now. I love it!!

    It would be better if it was ever finished LOL

    I hope the HBO series is better than what they did with the sword of truth series because legend of the seeker sucks bad

    I'm reading Unbroken, and it is SOOOOOOOOOO good!

    I am usually not a fan of non-fiction, but I really enjoyed this book. I certainly learned a lot when reading it!

    I know, me too! I never read non-fiction, but this book is constructed with such an intriguing story, it has me glued.

    I have been reading War and Peace for a year and I only have 20 pages left so I feel like I have been left out of the reading scene lately! I have a stack of books to read when I finish W&P but I also second the rec's on Middlesex and have heard good things about The Help and Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and that trilogy. I have read a lot of Jodi Piccoult, I find it compelling but frustrating sometimes. Also, I might be the only person who didn't like Eat, Pray, Love. I thought it was boring and poorly written.

    I usually only get to read books I really enjoy during the summer because the rest of the year I'm reading text books but my all time favorite books are Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (it's also being made into a movie releasing in April) and The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly... I highly recommend them.

    I'm reading MFP Posts lately. haha


    I really need to find a good book and read it, but I tend to sit down and read and get nothing else done. And I'm busy doing that here lately.

    Crave by J.R. Ward. It's the 2nd novel in her Fallen Angels series. I've also read and love her Black Dagger Brotherhood series as well.

    The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. Great book.
    My Mom told me about this book and I loved it, too! It was fascinating to see how she grew up and still really made a successful life for herself!

    I'm reading One of Our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde, Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King, and Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse.

    Are any of you on Goodreads.com? I love that site...it helps me keep track of books I want to read and what my friends are reading. I'm a middle school lang arts teacher, so I have a mix of YA novels and grown up stuff on deck most of the time.

    The Human Story by James C. Davis. It skips alot of the evolution stuff and goes right into civilization. So far, I like it. But it does lack alot of detail and contains alot of opinion. Still, worth finishing.

    Kings, Queens, Bones and *kitten*: Who's Who in the English Monarchy from Egbert to Elizabeth II, by David Hilliam, and Raspberry Vinegar, by Joan Fern Shaw (the latter, while fictionalised, is based on real events and experiences in my extended family during the '40s - the author is my maternal grandmother's cousin!). I always have a novel and a non-fiction on the go at the same time, I loooove reading.

    The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. Great book.

    I read it a few months ago; so amazingly well written, though it left me with a sort of lingering melancholy for a few days (that's not a bad thing, I love to really *feel* a book).

    I just finished reading The Lovely Bones. I loved it, and thought the movie was pretty good too. I'm also waiting on the next Sookie Stackhouse book, and a few others to come out.
