July! What are you reading?

I HATED The Hypnotist by Lars Keplar. Rambling story, didn't make a whole lot of sense. Way too many storylines as well.

I'm about 1/4 of the way into Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner. Pretty good so far.

Yep, Sílvia, I thought it was the best of her books -- very good!

I finished Water for Elephants and LOVED it. I couldn't put it down. Now I'm getting ready to start The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder by Rebecca Wells.

Swamplandia! was good but weird at times.

In Zanesville was a recommendation from a daily book email I get. It was a story about 2 teenage girls (in the late 1970s?). Easy read with a few parts that I laughed out loud.

I read Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich which is a new character series for her. It was an easy entertaining read that I whipped through in ~2 hours last night. If you're looking for something light this would be a good one. It features Diesel who is in her Number Series books.

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

I read The Cradle by Patrick Somerville last night. It was soooo good. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Its hard to describe it without giving it all away but it revolves around a married pregnant couple and in particular the husband's journey to find the wife an old cradle that she *has* to have. Very character driven.

I know it's August, but this belongs to July: I gave up on The Night Watch. I was hating it (sorry, Beverly ). Thank God for wikipedia summaries. You don't have to suffer through a book you don't like anymore just to find out what happens. Then I started The girl who fell from the sky http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Who-Fell-Sky ... 497&sr=1-1.
