Right now I am reading Darkest Fear.

It is the 7th (I think) book in the Myron Bolitar series. I really love the series. I usually get a couple of laughs out of them and I love characters that make fun of themselves, like Myron does.

I'm reading three books: during the day
during the nights
and this is just for curiosity xD

I am reading

Working on these two:

Nathan, I just got a chill. I picked up Harlan Coben's Darkest Fear this afternoon, and plan to start it in a few minutes. Is that the Twilight Zone theme song I'm hearing?

I just finished Steven James's and I'm starting by Amy Lignor.

Of Love and Shadows

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

1984

In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences

Catch-22

The House of the Seven Gables

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Northanger Abbey

Those are just a few of the ones on my currently reading list :) I have set myself a 75 books for the year challenge, & am 62 books in. I've also set myself a challenge to work my way through the Banned/Challenged book lists(various ones), & am also active in the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die challenge.

How do you read so many books at once!?

Well, when I find one hard going I pick up another one that I'm really connecting with, then I take a break & go back to the one I'm having issues with. I end up finishing several at once that way :)

I've just finished The Gunslinger and about to start Only Time Will Tell.

Oh oh! What did you think about the gunslinger? I just LOVED that series!! Well except maybe for Wolves of the Callathat was my least favorite.

Hmm The Gunslinger is a little odd to me, since it the first Stephen King book I've read that is continued to a second book. Nothing big (big as in Stephen King big) happened in the book. It almost feels like I'm watching the premier episode of a new tv series or Chapter 1 of a really thick book.

But I still loved it. I love how we learn about Roland's past in flashbacks (sort of like how the TV series Lost did it). But the book did raise a few questions for me though which I hope will be answered in later books. Especially Jake, he's like an enigma to me. Overall I loved it, but not as much as the other King books. I heard it gets much much better from The Drawing of the Three onwards.

I'm reading The Secret Life of Bees bySue Monk Kidd.

I usually never see the movie before I read the book, because it clouds my vision of the book. I do know I will never do it again.

But it is a good book!

Wow! I love that series. Just finished reading two days ago! Can't wait for the next one. So did u finish this book yet??

Just started reading

Right now I'm reading:

*To Kill an Angel-by M. Leighton
*The Night Strangers-by Chris Bohjalian
*The Wishsong of Shannara-by Terry Brooks
*East-by Edith Pattou
*The Son of Neptune-by Rick Riordan
And I'm slowly but surely making my way through 'A Dance with Dragons' by George RR Martin. :) They're all really good so far!

This week I'm reading Shanghai Girls by Lisa See and listening to Rules of Prey by John Sandford on audio

Violent and well written thus far. I'm about a quarter of the way through.

I'm about to start a book called Grimpow: De Stem Uit Het Duister (Grimpow: The Voice In The Dark), which wasn't up on Goodreads yet? It's a second book about Grimpow by Rafael Ábalos. Book 1 was a very popular ya book here in the Netherlands (voted best book of the year when it came out) and I quite enjoyed it so I picked up book 2. It's got one hell of a story, with loads of interesting Medieval details. I love it.

(Up next is The Son of Neptune, which I just got for my e-reader because somehow I absolutely cannot resist Percy Jackson. My to-read list hates me.)

I'm currently reading The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell.

Currently reading A Clash of Kings

I'm reading four books as of this writing.

by Joe McGinniss

Nonfiction, just released. Got from the library and reading on my iPhone.

by Stephen King

Ghost story, fiction. Reading in paperback. Loved the first 100 pages.

by Joe Hill

Ghost story, fiction. A man buys a ghost from an online auction website. Another ebook I got from the library, this one I'm reading on my Kindle.

by Edgar Allan Poe

Fiction. Rereading this ebook on the Kindle. I try to keep at least one classic cycling through my rereading list.

I just finished Sisters by Rosamund Lupton It was FABULOUS! I read it in one day.

Now I'm read "Is Jack in Love" its an ARC copy I won in a giveaway from a reveiwers site. It's pretty good so far!

I once finished four books in one day because I do the same thing!

I'm almost finished with The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

I'm also slowly making my way through Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert I suspect I will read at least 3-4 more books before I manage to finish!

Tim Willocks-The Religion

Currently reading:

Recently finished:

Currently reading Persuader by Lee Child.

Currently dragging myself through In the Miso Soup, by Ryu Murakami. Realizing I don't really care for psychological thrillers. But I will push on to the end!

I am heading to Barnes & Noble this weekend, a local author we know is having a book signing for his new mystery book. He wrote the YA series Windrusher(about cats), which we own signed copies of (of course, we've known him for years. I told him I wouldn't miss his book signing event for the world, so I will be reading Matanzas Bay by Parker Francis :)

Just finished Tallent & Lowery 13and moving on to Goldfingerby Ian Fleming.

I've read the first two. They're both very good. Hope you enjoy!!

I just wrapped up Redwall and HOSTILE WITNESS, though I still need to write reviews for them. My currently reading list is: The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri,Anything Can Be Dangerous and Before Starting a Business: How to Select Initial Entity Form for Your Entrepreneurial Skills, Capital-on-the-line, & Tax Accounting Psyche.

I just finished & reviewed
The Genesis Secret

VERY good book. It has everything :) Murders, mystery, a genius IQ psychopath, ritual sacrifices, a life changing secret discovery, etc. This was one of my "free reads", not on any of my challenge lists.

I'm enjoying both!!! The shining gives me goosebumps and the other one is very unique :)

Just finished Tallent and Lowery:13 and starting on "Goldfinger!" Ian Fleming.

Loved that book!

Just Started

I'm reading

I kind of have a tendency to read multiple books at once, but right now I am focusing on reading

I'm currently reading Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs

currently reading My Name is Memory but I'm convincing myself to not skip to the end because everyone has said that it's great but the ending ruins it.... anyone here read it?

Dierdra wrote: "I just started "

I loved this book :) I read it & reviewed it :)

Just finished Of Mice & Men last night, & I have in front of me to start now, James Joyce- A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, which was referenced IN The Genesis Secret, which I just finished yesterday, LOL.

The library just called, 2 of the books I had on order, Lolita & The Tin Drum, just came in :) I still have out on a state search, Fanny Hill & The Black Dahlia.

I just started In Cold Blood last night. because it's a true story, I'm already hooked :)

Ended up running out of time on the first Dirk Gently book & Of Love & Shadows, so had to return them to the library, but at least I logged in what page I stopped at on both, so in 2 weeks I can go check them out again & finish them. Have plenty of others to work through though, LOL

I'm reading 5 different ones but my favorite in the bunch is Sea Change by Robert B Parker.
