message 1: by Linda (new)

Linda 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.


Unapologetic_Bookaholic 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.


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


message 5: by Linda (new)

Linda 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!

Chrizette 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.

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? (=


message 23: by Joseph (new)

Joseph  (bluemanticore) | 1866 comments Mod
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.


message 24: by Valorie (new)

Valorie 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 Sex and the Single Vampire (Dark Ones, #2) by Katie MacAlister

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


message 26: by Valorie (new)

Valorie I finished Sex and the Single Vampire (Dark Ones, #2) by Katie MacAlister by Katie MacAlister. I thought it was much better than the first book. I'm a little over half way through Blood Is the New Black by Valerie Stivers 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 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.

Rosalie Sambuco 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.


message 50: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly 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!
