Dark Flame by Alyson Noel

Currently reading Funny Misshapen Body by Jeffrey Brown on my Kindle for iPad :)

An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin

I've got 5% left of

I have been downloading the free books like crazy. I just finished The Perfect Woman by James Andrus. Now I am reading House of Dark Shadows (Dreamhouse Kings Series, Book 1) by Robert Liparulo

I am re-reading The Iron King so I can start the The Iron Daughter right after that one. Love it! Not a genre I usually choose but loving it.

Just started Two Rivers by T. Greenwood. Free from ereaderiq.com

I just finished several - A Gift of Grace, The Traitor's Wife, Breach of Trust - all free kindle books. Speaking of which, there haven't been many in the past couple of days. What's up with that?

I'm reading Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War right now - it's excellent!

Good to hear. It's among my sample books that I'm planning to read. I'm reading Freedom now and love it.

Louise, I hesitate when a book like Freedom gets a lot of hype. Keep me updated on how you like it, ok? (And anyone else who has read it.)

Donna, I don't know anyone else whose read it yet but I'm 55% done with it. If you liked The Corrections you'll like this as much. Ditto if you didn't like The Corrections.

Uh oh, sorry to say, I didn't read that one either..

My TBR list is HUNDREDS long!!! :)

BTW, I just checked out The Corrections and it looks very interesting! I may read that one first. (My Dad had Parkinson's.)

Haha, mine is getting up there too.

I'm just about to start The Body on the Beach by Simon Brett, which is the first in the Feathering mystery series, and one which I'm really looking forward to.

I just finished The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie. Now's the fun part where I try to decide what to read next!

Joel Arnold

Currently reading The Hangman's Daughter, which I think I got for free. It's historical fiction, set in Germany in the 1600s. So far, I'm finding it a bit grizzly, but I can't put it down.

This sounds interesting, must look it up...

I got my Kindle in October, and so far have read about 27 books, I'm currently reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I am 25% of the way through it.

Currently reading Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption . Not normally my kind of book but I find myself unable to put it down.

The Book Thief. Just started it and I'm really liking it.

I have that book to read eventually. Seems to have fantastic reviews.

My inaugural Kindle read was Bill Bryson's new piece, Home, which is fantastic. I find Kindle speeds my reading enormously.

Members, please permit me one brush with self-promotion. My novel, She-Rain, just launched on Kindle and Nook. From the very sophisticated readers here, I'd love to hear reviews. I'm honored to have you in the world of She-Rain.

Warmest gratitude,

Gratz on your book, Michael! I'll be sure to check it out. :)

I agree that Kindle makes reading easier! I've been reading far more since I got mine.

I just finished Josh Lanyon's Adrien English mystery series--fantastic! Now I'm moving on to The Help by Katheryn Stockett.

Rosemary, thank you. I'll count it a high honor to have you in the world of She-Rain!

Please, let me know how you like The Help. Here's to the Southern tale.

Warmest peace,
m

Help is a good read

Am reading Dracula's Guest am really impressed with kindle, love it's accessibility, quickness jsut really nice bit of kit

Jo wrote: Help is a good read.

I'm almost half-way through The Help now, and I'm completely absorbed. It's moving, funny and appalling all at once. (Appalling as far as the setting goes, I mean. It's an unflinching look at one aspect of the racial tensions and inequalities of Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's.)

don't know if you've read Long Song by Andrea Levy, i'm reading it at the moment, about slavery on the sugar plantations and the end of it, superb.

Just started Crime Beat by Scott Nicholson.

Enjoying it a lot so far!!

Hey everyone, I'm working on Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and The Waste Lands (Dark Tower 3) by Stephen King on my Kindle.

I'm nearing the end of Once Were Cops by Ken Bruen. My first from author Bruen. This is sharp, true neo noir crime fiction that doesn't hold back. No flash, just raw crimes warping minds and a lean storyline. It's a nice though grim diversion from my usual diet of historical (1930s/40s mostly) espionage/mystery novels.

I recently finished Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin and really, really enjoyed it. Right now I'm finishing up The Professional by Robert B. Parker, which I've found to be just as much fun as most of the other Spenser books, contrary to some reader reviews I've seen.

Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter looks good. If I didn't have so many books in the queue I'd be tempted to read it now. But if anything jumps my 'wish list' queue it'd be The Ghosts of Belfast.

Right now I'm reading Sins of the Seventh Sister and The Women.

I'm reading "Just Let Me Lie Down" by Kristin Van Ogtrop, the editor of Real Simple Magazine. It's about her adventures as a working mother. Just started but pretty entertaining and humorous so far...

I loved that book Ellen. Great read and funny. I'm reading fitness and health books right now. Need to get in shape and start eating better.

I have to stop reading this thread...everyday, I see what all y'all are reading, and I have to add new books to my to-read shelf.

Watched a BBC show called ZEN in the UK about an italian detective. Really loved it so just downloaded Ratking to see if it is any good. I will then do other 9 if it is.

Ratking

I read Ratking a couple of years ago, and thought it was really good. I liked the Italian context, plus Zen's an interesting character.

I'm reading the Clan of the Cave Bear. Never wanted to carry the big books around but with the kindle, it makes reading big books enjoyable.......so many people said they read this series years ago, i must be out of the loop, but loving the 1st one so far.

Miriam

did you read any of the others in the series. If you get chance the TV adaptation is really good

I've just begun with this first book in the series, have you read the whole series? really caught my interest since she is releasing a new book in the series, Land of Painted Caves, due out in March '11.

I haven't, but I keep meaning to. PBS always does such a good job, I'm sure it's excellent. I'll look for it.

Kathy, you are just in time. The final book in the series...#6....is coming out in March. I can't wait! You won't have to wait the 10-13 years in between each book like alot of us did. Lucky you! Enjoy! :)

If you like Scandanavian fiction, I'm reading The Hypnotist by Lars Kepler, well written, good translation, well worth looking out for.

I've not long finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and I am currently reading Eat, Pray, Love.
Though at this point I should say dragging myself through Eat Pray Love. The first portion of India in the Ashram I am finding very tedious. I can't wait till she takes off travelling again.

I have so many I want to read but i'm thinking I might grab the first Discworld book by Terry Pratchett next.

Mercury Falls - Robert Kroese

Robert said his book was very funny.

He is correct.

I have just written a new book for the Amazon Kindle, LOVE $1 . A collection of poems about love, relationships and heartache. Here is one of my poems.

I Do ( Dedicated to my wife Quanda )

Two words that mean everything
Two words that come with a ring
Two words that stand for something
Two words that without which I have nothing.

Buy the book for the Kindle here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HD67DA

Sad but true story. I find it amazing how brutal this story is yet the author remains strong. Muslim women are not as weak we think they are. Some are brutally strong.
