Anna - let me know if that's a good one.

I've just finished:

Sepulchre by Kate Mosse - Meh
The Basic Eight by Handler - Very interesting
Driving with Dead People by Monica Holloway - good, but depressing
The Woods by Harlan Coben - not his best

I've also been reading a bunch of Oliver Sacks novels. He's a neurologist who wrote a bunch of books, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Awakenings.

I'm going to read:

The foreigner by Francie Lin
Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards
The King of Lies by John Hart
The Thirteenth Tale by diane Setterfield

I just finished The Secrets of the Sistine: Michelangelo's Forbidden Messages in the Heart of the Vatican by Benjamin Blech and Roy Doliner because I am an art history nerd!! 8) It was fabulous! So many ways Michelangelo hid messages about different religions, especially Judaism, all around the Vatican and the attention to detail...amazing!

Picked up Candy Girl by Diablo Cody but haven't opened yet. Malanee did you finish this one? How was it? I was just looking at old posts and I thought you were reading it a few months ago.

Missy, that first book sounds really interesting

I am reading Blinded by the Right by David Brock (2002). Interesting so far.
I am about to finish Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie. I am almost done, not sure what I will read next.

I finished In the Woods by Tana French and was totally unsatisfied with the ending. :?

I'm still slogging through The Slaves' War by Andrew Ward. The subject matter is so interesting but the writing style just blows.
