What are you reading right now?

Obviously, not right this second. But, what book are you currently reading? What do you think of it? All of the book posts have me curious.

Me: The Girl That Kicked a Hornet's Nest by Larsson

So far, so good. I just started it, but really enjoyed the other books. Now I have to see what happens;)

rebus82 · January 2011

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I've heard great things about him, enjoyed the movies I've seen based on his stuff (Stardust and Coreline), and he's really entertaining on Twitter. So far, he's living up to my expectations.

The Host by Stephanie Meyer. It is really good so far and I am only about a quarter way in. Much better than the Twilight series (which I also liked).

angelnscrubs7 · January 2011

The Cake Boss book.....and I just finished reading The Tattoo Chronicles by Kat Von D. I got them both for Christmas.

starlingrose · January 2011

I just finished The Secret Daughter - loved it, very good read. And Precious obviously which was good but nms. I need a new book to read now - something a little lighthearted. I hope someone has a good suggestion in this post...

dragonsmercy · January 2011

I'm reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan... I'm working on book 2... it's rather slow going right now... I need to get up to book 13, that I just got for Christmas! The only reason it's slow going is because this is my 3rd or 4th time going through the series, and I just don't have a lot of time or inclination to read right now... I haven't touched it since I left the hospital 3 weeks ago, actually!

lissah23 · January 2011

I just started reading a novella called The Sickroom. It's pretty good so far but I didn't realize when I started reading it that it's just a novella (I bought it on my e-reader so it wasn't like I could see the actual book for size)

I finished reading The Bishop's Man last night, which was great, but might be hard for someone who's not Canadian or familiar with parts of Canada to really "get".

berrysweet · January 2011

I'm reading the 4th Outlander book and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Before that, I read The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris, and HATED it.

peachypear · January 2011

First Family: Abigail and John Adams, by Joseph Ellis. I've barely put it down since I started.

JLW10 · January 2011

Jane Green's Babyville. I love reading her novels. I'm about to start reading Happiest Toddler on the Block!

Starlette1983 · January 2011

I'm working my way through the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I think I'm on book 9... very good, light hearted reads!

amandopolis · January 2011

I just finished The Help and I'm between books at the moment. I think I might read the Red Tent next.

j+s · January 2011

I just finished reading Fallout by Ellen Hopkins. I just started reading Showdown by Tilly Bagshawe. I read Adored by Tilly Bagshawe and loved it so I am hoping Showdown will be awesome as well.

jenn11980 · January 2011

I am reading Life by Keith Richards. My friends and I are doing a book club and this is January's book. It isn't a book I would have normally chosen to read, but it has been pretty good so far. It is a little long though, almost 600 pages.

I liked The Help and the Red Tent!

I just finished Murder on the Orient Express for a book club and now I don't know what to read next. I might try A Thousand Splendid Sons.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Mereou12 · January 2011

I'm reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. So far, it's fabulous. I just finished Sarah's Key, which I flew through in two days. I'm on a WWII fiction kick right now.

I get them for free. Or, got. SIL was one of the editors. I love them!

luvlylady78 · January 2011

Just started The Happiness Project.

kristie2422 · January 2011

I, Alex Cross by James Patterson. I have yet to read one of the books from the Cross series and not liked it. I wanna go look up The Secret Daughter. It sounds intriguing!

Sage Mommy · January 2011

I'm revisiting some books I read as a kid. Right now, I'm reading The Bumblebee Flies Anyway by Robert Cormier.

LMK8605 · January 2011

Squirrell seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris

I love David Sedaris and this is hilarious so far

TSD · January 2011

I just finished "You'll never nanny in this town again" by Susanne Hansen

woolgathered · January 2011

I just finished Water for Elephants, and while the depictions of the abuse 1930s circus animals suffered really got to me, the ending TOTALLY made up for it.

I'm now on to The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I just started it, but so far so good. I have a feeling it will be sad, though.

PrincessFiona9 · January 2011

I'm reading Traitor's Wife right now on my Kindle...had I known how long it was (512 pages) before I started reading I might have not read it, but it was a free ebook when I got it a couple weeks ago. ANYWAY, it is a historical novel set in the early 1300's England. It has a lot of facts etc that can get a little confusing/dry but there's a lot of intrigue that keeps me reading. I'm about 80% done and I'm determined to finish it through.

Abinormal · January 2011

Haha! I'm reading Black Hills by Nora Roberts right now. I like Nora Roberts when I'm in the mood for an easy read, plus, I think she writes a good story although they do all follow the same formula.

MaliaMouse · January 2011

I am ashamed to say I just started my first non-baby related book since LO was born. And it has taken me 5 days to get 30 pages in (I am so exhausted at night and that is my only real chance to read....) but despite that, I am in love with it....

The Art of Racing in the Rain.

SRodi811 · January 2011

I just finished Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins (YA but soooo good!), and I'm currently reading Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon (2nd Outlander book) and The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E Pearson... both good so far.

ksugrl84 · January 2011

Some of you are reading such great books, I loved Art of Racing in the Rain and Water for Elephants. I just read A Women of Independent Means which is set in Dallas and I love books that are set in locations I am familar with. I am reading Debt Free for Life (I like to mix in non-fiction titles in with my fiction) and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. My goal is 30 books this year since I fell 3 books shy last year.

ExpectantSteelerFan:
Just finished Cutting for Stone for my book club (really liked it) and started Outlander and am already loving it!

I just finished Cutting for Stone and loved it. I read all the Outlander books. I loved them in the beginning. The last few have been more work than they are worth.

I'm reading a new biography of Cleopatra. It's slow going, but I like it.

Cityplanner · January 2011

Duplicate post.

newguardwife · January 2011

The Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlene Harris. I love them perfect before bed reading. We started watching True Blood this past year and that got me into the books.

Torani · January 2011

DH got me hooked on the Wheel of Time series by the late Robert Jordan. I got him the new one for Xmas (book 13) and decided to reread the whole series because I have no idea what's going on. So right now I'm reading Eye of the World.
