Malanee - what are you in the mood for?

I just finished Critical. It wasn't one of Robin Cook's best that's for sure. It seemed to be written hastily.

I finally got Beautiful Boy from the library but I don't know if I"m in the mood for a sad book. We'll see.

Pandora's Daughter was just meh.

I whipped through Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner. Pretty good - easy read. Its a sequel to Good in Bed.

Not sure what's next on the "pile".

Mellen, I just put Beautiful Boy on my list at the library.

I'm reading Pandora's Daughter by Iris Johansen. A bit different than her usual - this has a touch of psychic stuff going on. Its good.

I'm reading Charley's Web by Joy Fielding. Its good, easy reading. Her books are always good never amazing.

I'm reading "Last Night at the Lobster" by Stewart O'Nan. I"m really enjoying it. Its super short so I will be done before you know it.

I finished The First Patient and it was just ok. Not one of the author's best. I'm reading The Secret Between Us by Barbara Delinsky. I like it so far. The story is basically a mother/daughter hit a pedestrian and the mother takes the fall even though the daughter was driving. Very Jodi Picoult-ish.

I'm reading The First Patient by Michael Palmer. I generally like his medical thrillers. This one is a bit slow but I"m only 50 pages in.

I recently finished a few books by Chris Bohjalian, Midwives and Law of Similars. They were both great. I'll definitely pick up more by him.

Beverly - I bow down to you in having any time in your life right now to read.

*shakes head*

I just finished Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst - it was ok. REally short. Not sure what's up next. I literally just finished it.

Silvia - I did like Lake. Definitely worth my time.

I'm reading Gravedigger's Daughter by Joyce Carol Oates. I like it but its way depressing....my reading speed has definitely slowed because of it.

I'm reading Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman. Its about a school for girls (on a lake obviously) where some of the students have drowned both years ago and present day and how these 2 instances are linked. I like it.

I need to get to the library today to stock up again.

I'm still reading Lost and Found by Carolyn Parkhurst.

I'm also reading Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work.

Robber Bride was really good! Crystal what's next on my MArgaret Atwood list?

I'm reading Lost and Found (forget the author) - its about a scavenger hunt game show. Pretty cool so far.

I'm reading Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood. It is *so* good. We had to read Handmaid's Tale senior year of high school which was just weird so I just assumed I didn't like her writing. I'm glad I tried her again (18 years later!)

LB - Shoot the Moon was good. Definitely worth a read. I just finished The Post-Birthday World. It was so good - I highly recommend it. The story splits off into 2 parts after the first chapter where a woman in a relationship has the opportunity to cheat on her partner. The following chapters are do...

I've been doing lists for a few years now. I just track it in a nice bound notebook - it'll probably take the rest of my life to fill it up. I decided to transcribe them into Excel so I could sort by author, etc. I feel like its a constant struggle to find good books. Start a list Spudd - its the be...

I did read it. I guess I missed it when I was making my spreadsheet.

Thought I would share my 2007 list with you. I love to see what others read in the hopes that I might find a new author to love. Some of my new favorites this year are Tawni O'Dell, David Ellis, Elizabeth Lowell and Peter Abrahams. Rating Title Author 2.5 Thursdays at Eight Debbie Macomber 3 Survivo...

Beatcha!

I'm reading Shoot the Moon by Billie Letts.

Finished Twilight. I think I'll read the other 2 books in the series. You can tell they're young adult but well written nonetheless. I also whipped through Water for Elephants. If I'm not the only one out there that hasn't read it, I highly recommend it. Interesting to read about train circus and an...
