Book Buying Addicts Anonymous discussion

Is the "Currently Reading" shelf for books that we are reading as a group, or just what individuals are currently reading? Because I am surprised to see so few books listed there. Does everyone just buy books, but not read them here??? I doubt it, so let's see what everyone is reading right now

Linda, it was never really stated what that shelf would be used for in this group. I just figured if anyone wanted to put the book they were currently reading on there to share with the rest of us, that was fine with me. This group isn't really one where a group read would come up, I would think. Anyone want to throw in their two cents is perfectly welcome to.

Oh, whenever I join a group I always add my current read just to say 'hey guys look what I am reading'. Unless it is a BOM type group and that shelf is designated for the group read. So...yeah =D.

I also read a variety of genres and post what I think would be suitable for a current read.

I like seeing what other people are reading, in case someone is reading something I have considered and want to inquire about, or someone is reading something at the same time and we can discuss it.
But I get that this is not a book discussion group - I belong to other groups that, do that so that's okay!

I am currently reading

I am trying to read DEADTOWN by Nancy Holzner at the moment. I am finding it very hard to get into - am only in Chapter 3. I have now started having a second current read (which I never do) just to help me along.

I finished and am almost halfway through

I'm reading Evil at Heart by Chelsea Cain and Bite (anthology) by Laurell K. Hamilton and others

I'm currently reading two books, Weird Florida, just like it says, weird things in Florida and Night of the Loving Dead by Casey Daniels, a mystery type story about a women who talks to ghosts.

I finished this weekend and started

I am currently reading Horns by Joe Hill and will soon be reading The Help or one of several Margaret Atwood books in my to be read pile. I decide on the next read when I walk over to the bookcase to pick up a new book.

I finished and am currently reading and about to start

I just finished Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. Really enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of the True Blood series so I thought it was about time I read the books! I'm now reading by Judi Fennell

I finished , have started and

YES! In fact right after I finished Murder on the Orient Express, I started Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I finished that yesterday and LOVED it! What other ones do you think are good? Those are the only 2 Agatha Christies I've read so far.
I heard The A.B.C. Mysteries is good as well? What do you recommend? (=

Amy, I definately suggest The A.B.C. Murders. I'm not a big fan of Mrs. Marple, I prefer Poirot, but another mystery that is neither of them that was a great Christie is And Then There Were None.

I just finished [image error] and really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the next book to come out at the end of the month. I'm now reading

The Historian is one my favorite books. I absolutely love Elizabeth Kostova's style of writing. I hope you continue to enjoy your books!

I finished by Katie MacAlister. I thought it was much better than the first book. I'm a little over half way through by Valerie Stivers. Cute paranormal vampire story, its a short quick read. Very Chick-litish.

How are you liking The Historian? I know it has its slow moments, but some really creepy ones too. I looked for my copy since reading your post, but I can't find that and my copy of The Count of Monte Cristo. I think they got lost during my move. Being that they are two of my favorites, I'll have to buy them again this weekend (of course!).

LMAO!!! I can remember reading one of the scarier parts, and my phone ringing at 2am. I was so scared I almost jumped out of my skin! Even if I never re-read it, I MUST have a copy in my collection.

I love the Beekeeper's Apprentice! Mary Russell mysteries is one of my favorite mystery series <3

Currently following online:

Naruto through Ch. 486
Bleach through Ch. 396
07-Ghost through Ch. 21
Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) through Ch. 38

I can't wait for them to come out in America!!! I just finished Flight of the Renshai by Mickey Zucker Reichert (excellent, just like the previous series) and Kieli: White Wake on the Sand (super excellent!). Just deciding what I should get next, haven't seen a lot of new fantasy that I want to read so I've mostly been sticking with manga, although Fang just came out so I might go pick that up...I really like Maximum Ride.

I'm currently reading , recently finished and

Amazon delivered today WOLF HALL by Hilary Mantel and THE SECRETS OF GLASS by Donna Russo Morin. Currently I am reading THE KITCHEN HOUSE by Kathleen Grissom. I have a problem now .... which book do I begin reading. I also have THE SCARLET LION by Elizabeth Chadwick and THE FRENCH MISTRESS by Susan Holloway Scott. It tough being a grown-up and making such big decisions.

I'm reading Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela. I'm about 200 pages from finishing. It's been a slower read for me then most books are. But it's wonderfully written!
