@RiverSong82 Holy shit, I just finished Fangirl today!!! What a crazy coincidence. I loved it. Even more than Eleanor and Park, which was also great.
My friend just read Attachments and said it was great. That's what I'll be starting next.
Rainbow Rowell writes such fantastic characters. She's my new favorite author.
Omg I finished last night! It was sooooo good! I got the audiobook of Atrachments, which was also good, but not as good as Fangirl IMO. I can't wait to read Eleanor & Park.
Innocence by Dean Koontz currently. I'm hooked and might finish by tonight.
Before that I was reading book 5 of the Mortal Instrument series. It's ok, but I'm not feeling it, I was just in way too deep to stop. In other YA tomes, I read Divergent but thought it was meh (compared to Hunger Games) so I stopped there.
I am so excited to read again. The kindle makes it so easy (I was a long time hold out in solidarity to bankrupt Borders books).
This week, I read Jeneration X and The Fault in Our Stars. I just started The Power of Habit and will probably start BSC next. This is the most I've read since [insert embarrassing length of time].
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...and soon Baby-Sitter's Club. Eeeee
OMG, we're book twins @thisisbrea! I have been working slowly on Hitchhiker's Guide for a while now. I've owned it for quite some and wanted to read it again.

I'm lame. I just got done reading Little Women and am now reading Mansfield Park. In my defense, both books are classics and they were free on my Kindle.
Currently reading Divergent. I hope I like the series more than you all did- nothing worse than trudging through a bad series to just find out how it ends!
I'm reading the 3rd Bridget Jones book. She's a mom in this book and her take on parenting is funny. Of course it still doesn't compare to the original.
At home, I'm re-reading all the Harry Potters because I'm a nerd. I think it's been like ten years since I read the first few! At work, I just finished The Human Stain by Phillip Roth. It was pretty good, and I just learned it's a movie too!

I just finished God's Demon by Wayne Barlowe. I found it fascinating.
I'm either about to reread The Last Unicorn by Peter Beagle because I saw a screening of the movie and met the author a couple weeks ago or I'll read How to Con Your Kid because I got that for Christmas. :P
I worked at a small amusement park for a few years in the summer while I was in college and it really brings me back.
ETA - finished Joyland last night - it made me cry. Doesn't happen that often when I read - I think the last time I cried over a book was The Lovely Bones...
I will have to check out the Rainbow Rowell books, it is funny to see her name here. She lives in my town and used to write for the paper. I am starting O Pioneers, but also want to read the Jim Henson biography.
Re: What are you reading?
I would also recommend Divergent. It was really quite good.

There's a PLL prequel?! I really need to get out from under my rock.
I have allegaint and attachments as well

So far I really like Joyland @angelashly

I have heard such great things about this series. That is on my list of books to read.
I am reading three books.
The Greatest Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is my bathroom reading (TMI?)
Toujours Provence is my nighttime reading.
The Kitchen Houseis my book club, lunch break reading.
I would recommend all three.
I am starting O Pioneers, but also want to read the Jim Henson biography.
