Where is everyone? What are you all reading??

Still reading Swimsuit by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. Reading Mad River Road by Joy Fielding while waiting for son at the HS.
Which reminds me--I need to put a load of laundry in the washer. Ugh--chores!

Torch by Cheryl Strayed and Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

I have to go back and forth between Mere Christianity and another book because it is so heavy and my mind is already whirling a million miles a minute! It's nice to pick something else up in between chapters.

I am currently reading April and Oliver. Very good read so far!

I am reading Three Weeks to Say Goodbye
It's about a couple that adopts a baby and the trouble they have after the birth father comes back into the picture! It hooks you from page one and you can't believe what this dirt bag puts these people through! Its a great book and I'm almost done!

Mere Christianity is a deceivingly small book, but I could only digest a bit at a time. So much to think about!

I finished Three Weeks to Say Goodbye and am now reading The Woman in Black A Ghost Story by Susan Hill. Its a ghost story that should scare me big time according to the reviews I've read on here!

Oh, I know! I thought it was something I could sit down and read in a day. Hahaha! After the first chapter I felt like I had just read a college textbook and hardly could take everything in.

Post how it is... I'm curious. I'm looking for a good scary book.

It was okay. It wasnt scary at all to me! I gave it a three. It isnt something that I would read again-LOL!

Oh darn! Haha, I'd rather hoped that someone found a good scary read just in time for Halloween!

I'm starting to read Smoke Screen by Sandra Brown.

I'm in the middle of .Dead Until Dark and am pretty much certain I won't be finishing the series.

I am reading three this week:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Julia's Chocolates
One Thousand White Women The Journals of May Dodd

I just finished The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I found myself, a time or two, lying in bed unable to sleep for distress and realized I was reliving my childhood while reading this book. It was amazing how much the author and I had in common. Thankfully, we both overcame our pasts. This is a fast read, and I highly recommend it.

It's on my to-read list, mainly because it's so highly suggested and popular... do you think someone can like the book without relating to it?

I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't related to it! It's hard to say, though. It is a fast read, so it's worth your time if dysfunctional families aren't terribly upsetting to you.

I am currently reading sMothering by Wendy French. About halfway through. It is very funny.

I finished Charlaine Harris' first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series.

I will NOT be finishing the series!

So now I'm reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer. Much better.

Britt, what happened? You didnt like it??

Susan wrote: "Britt, what happened? You didnt like it??"

Oh my goodness, no I did not like it at all! I very much had to force myself to finish it.

I just finished Rainwater by Sandra Brown. It's her new one and its like nothing she has ever written before! I loved it!!!

Susan wrote: "Where is everyone? What are you all reading?? "

I just started The Hunger Games...I'm only on page 21 (baby didn't want me to read last night!)...but it's really good so far. I love books like A Brave New World and Animal Farm!

Now I'm back onto Mere Christianity and I cannot stop reading it this time. I project it'll be finished in a few days.

Im reading 3 right now..
A Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber, Morning Comes Softly by Debbie Macomber and Murder Most Frothy by Cleo Coyle.

Now I'm reading I, Alex Cross. Hopefully, I can get some good Patterson in over the weekend!

I am reading: Julia's Chocolates and The Gift

Knowing you and his books, you'll finish it by Sunday night :)

I finished A Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber. I really liked it! A sweet story for this time of year.

I'm reading 13 days to midnight.

I'm reading Shadow Man by Cody McFayden...so far so good.....very creepy but very good!

Grand Avenue by Joy Fielding. This is the 3rd or 4th book I've read from her.

Ramona Forever (to my 4.5 year old). Still holds up after all these years.

Catching Fire!

It took me way too long because it wasn't one of his best.

While My Sister Sleeps by Barbara Delinsky

Ohhh LOL I already have that one Suze!! Is it good???

So far it is. I just sent you a PM,lol.

In the summer, I love romance and chick-lit. They are a guilty pleasure. I've been reading Kristen Ashley's Dream Man series lately. The men in these books are HOT!! Great beach reads!!! First book in the series is .
