    The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides was excellent. That's the last really good one I read over my holiday break from work. I'm currently reading Pym and it's ok - good enough that I want to finish it.

    Have you read Middlesex? Excellent book. I need to read more of his stuff.

    I'm a dork, I don't read novels, but I read textbooks for fun. I'm currently reading Medieval and Early Renaissance Medicine. Interesting stuff.

    I just finished reading House Rules by Jodi Picoult. Probably one of the best books I have read in awhile. If you have a passion for children especially children with special needs (autism in this case) then it is a must read. I work in the education field (in a "out of school time" capacity) and it was phenomenal.

    I have also recently started reading the Janet Evonovich (sp??) series (One for the Money, etc) and those are fun as well!



    I am on 18 of the Janet Evanovich series. You will love them. They just keep getting more funny. My husband always looks at me cause I am laughing outloud LOL Enjoy!!

    Faithful Place by Tana French. It isn't at all what I thought it would be! I thought for some reason it was about relationships or some other estrogen-filled topic. It's totally not, it's a very well-written mystery. Two thumbs up.

    I strongly suggest the Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. Sooooo good. I just finished that one and loved it, but have some tissues ready. I can only read books like that a couple times a year. Enjoy :)

    I love to read and was recently visiting a friend who loaned me the first of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J. R. Ward. It's about warrior vampires, not my normal stuff... but I can't put them down!!! I'm on book 3 already!! Vampire smut... but well done!

    I've re-read the Twilight series each time a new movie comes out, so 4 times now... probably will again before the last movie releases. Loved the HP series as well. Still looking forward to the Hunger Games series, hopefully soon before that movie comes out. Yes, I like the books better, but I do like seeing what they come up with for movie adaptations.

    Oh, and I'm doing a challenge at church to read the entire Bible this year. We're doing it chronologically... so far it's awesome and I'm reading the Message version so it's more contemporary and I'm finding it easy to read and understand that way.

    "V" is for Vengance by Sue Grafton. I started with "A" is for Alibi and now I wait every year for the new book to come out. V came out in November and I got it for Christmas.

    I am about a quarter of the way through IT (Stephen King), much better than the film.

    A million times better than the film.

    Nothing at the moment; I guess Sizzlin' Sixteen by Janet Evanovich has about fifty or so pages left from when I ... kinda stole it from the library four states away. I've read almost all her stuff, but I like Jeffery Deaver [yeah, the guy who wrote The Bone Collector] better.
