Tell us something about the current book you are reading. Definitely tell us the title. How long has it been on your TBR? Why did you want to read it? Is it living up to your expectations so far? Any little thing else you would like to say?

I am starting Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. I remember the movie coming out and thinking that I should watch that. I never did. So now I start the book.

Vicki Willis | 510 comments I am currently reading Framed Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions by John Grisham Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions
It has been on my TBR for less than a year because I got it from NetGalley.
It is very very dark and hard to read, but also very well written.
I have felt outraged many times today reading this. I would really recommend it.

Ann A (readerann) | 867 comments One of the several I'm reading is Birnam Wood. It's been on my TBR for about a year and a half. I had heard good things about it, and it's totally living up to expectations. I love Eleanor Catton's writing.

Dee (austhokie) | 127 comments I was doing dishes and making a snack so it was audiobook time

I’m listening to The Shadow King - HF set in Ethiopia, 1934 - it fits a challenge I’m doing (book set in Africa)

I added it a few months ago because the cover caught my eye

Vanessa Dargain | 503 comments I am on page 215 of Michener's HAWAII . Last June , I agreed to read it at a friend's suggestion . So it's never been in my TBR stack .
It's okay . The beginning was kinda bloody .

Christy Collins | 39 comments I'm reading Sarah Crossan's 'Hey Zoey'. I picked it up in a bookstore about a month ago. I'd never heard of the book or the author but it was the sort of thing I was in the mood for. I bought 3 books that day and read the other 2 first. When I picked it up I wanted to read it because it seemed 'breezy' and lightly but expertly written and yes, it's living up to this expectation. I'm enjoying it and finding it very easy to read.

Lamilla | 818 comments My current read is The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz by Anthony Horowitz. It is estate-approved new Sherlock Holmes story. I got it after I read and liked Сороки-убийцы (Susan Ryeland, #1) by Anthony Horowitz by the same author.
I like the tone of the book, it definitely has Conan Doyle vibe!
