I finished the Tana French book and will be looking for more of her stuff.
For a complete change of pace I have the new Fannie Flagg: "I Still Dream About You".

I finished Sworn to Silence by Linday Castillo. Nice little murder mystery with a bit of Amish thrown in. I like the lead character - Kate Somethingorother who used to be Amish and is now the Chief of Police in the town she grew up in (1/2 amish and 1/2 "English"). There is another in the series that I will pick up.
Not sure what's next. I'm making my way through the Beck Diet Solution but its a re-read.

I just finished "I Still Dream About You" by Fannie Flagg. Cute, but it was no Fried Green Tomatoes.
I have a few at home and will read whichever one is due first.

I got The Pillars of the Earth from the library, so that's my current read. And then, like a day after I picked it up, another book came in for me. There's no way I can finish them both in time.

Re: January! What are you reading?
Is the other one a high demand book, Spudd? I bet you'd be able to renew Pillars of the Earth so you could read the other one first.

Re: January! What are you reading?
A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan - good in a weird way. It's about music intertwining with life and peoples back stories....I liked it.
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress - Rhonda Janzen - Was good but was more fluffy than I expected
How to sew a button : and other nifty things your grandmother knew by Erin Bried - Lots of long lost tips on cooking, saving money, sewing, cleaning, etc.
Of course I just got a bunch of holds in all at once. Not sure what I'm going to read next. I have: The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown, The Diviner's Tale by Bradford Morrow, American uprising : the untold story of America's largest slave revolt by Daniel Rasmussen and The Panic Virus : a true story of medicine, science, and fear by Seth Mnookin.

I vote for the Weird Sisters - I've heard great things about it and our library doesn't even have it yet. Wah!
That is...if I get a vote.

Re: January! What are you reading?
Rowan I was swaying toward The Weird Sisters anyway so I will go with that first!
Re: January! What are you reading?
Yay! That way if its good, I can harass the library to get it.

Re: January! What are you reading?
I just started reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender. It's about a girl who can taste the emotion the cook/baker was feeling when he/she made certain foods. Sounds weird but I like the way she writes.
Re: January! What are you reading?
That sounds interesting, Blush. Let me know how you liked it when you finish it.

Re: January! What are you reading?
So I finished "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake" (about an hour ago) and I think it is one of those books that will stick with me for a while. I really liked the writing style of the author; I even stopped and re-read a few lines just because I liked how she described things. Now, it is a little...weird...for lack of a better word. You have to suspend disbelief a bit but she does make events seem true and real.
