Just finished reading Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness.  Liked it almost as well as the first one!  Now I'm reading The Bone Bed by Patricia Cornwell.  Thank goodness for the Public Library!

I'm starting the Hunger Games books.  My mother has been houding me to read them and tell her what I thought, since she read them already. I just finished the first book of the Dexter series.  I honestly liked the show better than reading the book, it was much different, and I didn't feel like I got to know the characters as well as I would have liked from the book as I did the show.

Bought "Blue Girl" by Charles DeLint at the thrift store, and just finished it.  Pretty good for a YA fantasy.  Had to laugh - I wondered what the scribble on the title page was supposed to mean - at least until I realized there was a sticker on the front saying, "Autographed Copy."  He's apparently much better at writing than handwriting....l

I've just finished reading "My Favorite American"     Its a book about a young woman named  Valen Cover, who has PKD. She has other health issues, like seizures, scoliosis of the spine. The author, Dennis McCloskey, is a Canadian author and wrote about her amazing journey how she has overcome a lot of her health obstacles.

Valen is an active advocate in the PKD  community. It's a must read, even if you don't have PKD, the book will leave you feeling very inspired!

I actually met the author at a PKD wak in Toronto last month and he autographed the book for me that I bought. I really enjoyed his book, like I said above, it's a must read!

I wanted to add that you can order the book on Amazon.com I think.

just picked up 3 mysteries: V is for Vengance by Sue Grafton, The Postcard Killers by James Patterson, and The Lighthouse by P.D. James.

Just got The Casual Vacancy by  J K Rowling from the library today.  I would not recommend the book I just finished, Laura Lamont's Life in Hollywood to anyone!  I thought it was gonna be good, showing life during Hollywood's Golden age...turned out to be a real snoozer that I couldn't get into!

Just got The Casual Vacancy by  J K Rowling from the library today. 

I'm watching for a copy of that book to free up at the library

I was at a book reading/signing today for a YA book called The Night Has Teeth, by Kat Kruger.  It's the first in a trilogy.  Kat is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and her book is the first published by the publishing company, which is partly owned by a friend of mine.  She's been talking about it so much, I decided I wanted to read it. *G*

and yes, it's about werewolves... don't judge me.. *LOL*

[Poppylicious]

and yes, it's about werewolves... don't judge me.. *LOL*

You're reading a book about werewolves?  That doesn't sound like the sort of thing you'd do ...

No, I generally stick to vampires... but since Kat is a friend of a friend.... *G*

[Simon Dog]

Following Atticus.

[cariad]

I finished Death at Intervals and it was breathtaking. A bit depressing, especially in the middle, but it had a magical and strangely joyous ending.

Now reading Is That A Fish In Your Ear?, a scholarly work about the field of language translation.

You usually read about Vampires? Then you've probably read all of the "Twilight" books. I have seen all of the movies and finally decided to read the books. I am on the 3rd one now, "Eclipse".
No, I generally stick to vampires... but since Kat is a friend of a friend.... *G*

[Riki]

Yeah.. I'm a vampire chick.. *G*  I read all the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles.. and I read all the Twilight books before I saw any of the movies.. I'm really excited for the last Twilight movie.. I'm going to the first showing on the 15th with a couple of girlfriends.. and my mom.. *G*  She's only read the first 2 books, but she's seen all the movies

[AnnieB]

I just finished a book by P.D.James, "The Lighthouse". Adam Dalgliesh is an inspector from Scotland Yard called in to investigate a suspicious death on a small island off the Cornish coast. I generally like the movies based on her books better than the books, since the books - though I think well-written - can be a bit of a slog for me to get through. Not like a Michael Connelly book (I like police procedurals, courtroom dramas, etc), which I can "zoom" through from start to finish. I have a couple other of mysteries lined up for next: the latest Sue Grafton "V is for Vengeance", and a James Patterson I haven't read, "The Postcard Killers".

Since starting dialysis 2 months ago, I've gone through 8 books already.  I read the Hunger Games (3) and they were AWESOME!

Does anyone watch "Pawn Stars" on History?  I read the autobiography of Rick Harrison and his son Cory, the "Old Man", and "Chumlee".  It was also very interesting, with lots of stories of each of them, and how to play the game of pawning and selling antiques.  It was so cool to read.

[Kitty Cat]

Annig83, the book you read about Pawn Stars does sound interesting, I really like the show. What's the name of the book, I'd like to read it?

I am currently reading 2 books. One on Kindle called "Pearl", it's an 1800's story and part 2 of 4 series. It's a very easy read, enjoyable and especially good for me right now trying to escape from the holiday season.

The other book I'm reading is called "Ireland". It is a history of Ireland from its inception through the years told in a story tellers perspective. It's huge has 559 pages, but is very interesting. It's not the normal dry kind of history, it's embellished in an interesting way. Not the usual thing I'd read, however, thankfully there are library book sales so I bought it for $1.00 and I figured if I didn't like it, it was no big deal. (This is how I've been able to read a whole group of new authors because of the library book sale. So far I've only had maybe 6 books that I feel I could never get the time I wasted on their books back :-) )

[boswife]

[Annig83]

@ Kitty Cat-  "License to Pawn... My life at the Gold and Silver" by Rick Harrison. 

[iKAZ3D]

The Hunger Games.

[AnnieB]

Just finished the "Game of Thrones" and am about to start, "A Clash of Kings". I haven't been into sci-fi in ages, and was pleasantly surprised at how good this series is....The best part of discovering a new author I like is, I have 4 more books left to read in this series! 

[lmunchkin]

"The Story" by Max Lucado & Randy Frazee.  TOTALLY AWESOME.  Its the Bible written in a story form.  I love it!!
