Right now I am reading The Beekeeper's Apprentice. It's about Sherlock Holmes and his "assistant" Mary Russell.
It's a good story, but the writing tends to move a little slow. For some reason, I can't tear through it like other books.

I also started reading 1st to Die by James Patterson. So far it's good, but I'm only a few chapters in.

What are you reading now? Do you read one book at a time or do you like to read multiple books at once?

I am reading Code Blue by Richard Mabry, ok, but not what I really expected, I was thinking more Robin Cook, and this is pretty romance based, but some good medical parts. Very similar to his other book, in fact some parts word for word. I ordered the three Women's murder club on my kindle by James Patterson. Looking very forward to those. when it is a series I like to have them all before I start reading so I can just go to the next book as soon as I finish one. I like to start and finish one all the way through before starting another one.

I am reading Live Free or Die by Jessie Crockett. It is a new series that I found in my kindle store for .99.

It is okay, not very compelling and rather surface characters, but I am entertained and sometimes that is enough.

I am reading The London Monster, by Jan Bondeson. It's about a strange series of alleged crimes that occured in late 18th century London, in which women were attacked by a man who slashed their thighs, buttocks or, less commonly, faces.
So far it's interesting.

I'm reading the Little Women series by Louisa May Alcott. I'm about halfway through the first one, Little Women.

If Look Could Kill by Kate White. I found it at a used book store. It's fine. (lol, yes that's my entire opinion of it so far)

I don't understand people that write pages and pages in review. My goal is to be one of those people, but I'm too busy reading!

Right? I have to finish the book before I can really form an opinion (unless it's really terrible) but once I get to the end I've forgotten all the little details. I guess a future as a book reviewer is out for me.

Right? I have to finish the book before I can reall..."


I haven't written a review since college, and then I was given a guideline on what to be looking for and what to be discussing. I have been relying on people's book recommendations since getting my kindle and I am positive I will not be able to reciprocate.

I'm currently reading Black Wind by Clive Cussler, borrowing it from my dad. It's not the sort of book I would have thought to pick up, but so far it's held my interest. Think I've got maybe 1/8th left, so it should be all coming to a head soon.

My one *HUGE* peeve, is the author wrote himself in there, same name and all. Just shows up for a chapter or two, but really? Why? Just to be a "cool" character? Ugh.

And yes, I have multiple books that I read at once too. They manage to get strewn about the house, you know, just in case...

I just finished Michael Tolliver Lives and it was good but not great, not like the other Tales of the city books which I just loved. I think it was because I didn't really want the characters to grow up, I wanted them to stay in that time period.

Next I'll be reading Angels Flight by Michael Connelly, the next book in the Harry Bosch series.

I usually like to concentrate on one book at a time, but do have a few others open that I'm only so/so interested in that I can go back to.

I started Lady Chatterley's Lover the other night. I only got five pages in before I fell asleep. I need to start my nightly reading BEFORE 11pm!

I'm just about to start Cool Water by Dianne Warren. My boss just dropped it on my desk saying he thought I'd like it... I seem to be on a bit of a Canadian author kick these days... The Governor General Awards finalists are generally an easy "must read" list if I haven't been reading in a while.

I am currently trying to read Andrew Vachyss Hard Candy. It is the fourth book in the Burke series. I started it due to a suggestion from the board, but am having a real hard time following the characters. I couldn't get any of the first three books in the series at the library and am wondering if I would be as lost if I had started at the beginning.

I'm still reading Hawaii by James Michener. I think when I get to the end of this section I will take a break and read something else. I ordered a Kindle today and will be anxious to try it out!

I always found Michener to be challenging, you may need something light afterward. Congrats on the Kindle!

I am reading Fat is a Feminist Issue. I'm not finding it too compelling and have gotten into a rut, so now I'm also reading a Nero Wolfe novel.

Wildkitties, I'm enjoying it a lot but it's not exactly a page-turner, KWIM?

YOU will love love love your kindle!

I just finished "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett.

It was a bit dry in parts, but the story was really engaging! Maybe it's because I don't understand Architecture?

I am now onto the sequel "World without end". I miss the characters from the first book!

Does that ever happen to anyone?

I just finished reading "The Wedding Girl" by Madeleine Wickham. Easy read, sometimes I just like a book to take my mind off life.

Has anyone ever read any of Brad Meltzer's books? If so what did you think?

I just finished another Harry Bosch book, I didn't realize that the author Michael Connelly puts characters from his other books into other series. So now I want to read all his books. In order that they were written of course.

Just started Water for Elephants and almost finished it in one day. I had to go to bed last night and forced myself to put it down. I know should have seen the movie first though, I'm going to be disappointed now.
