I recently finished What the Dickens by Gregory Maquire (The story of a rogue tooth fairy) and the next book on my list is The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneggar.

Re: What are you reading?

I am trying to get through The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. It's good, but not my favorite book by far. I bought it, though, and I am determined to read it.
I have Married in Seattle by Debbie Macomber and Murder by Family (a true story) by Kent Whitaker waiting, too.
I am also reading Praying Through the Deeper Issues of Marriage by Stormie Omartian. I have read that before, but I felt compelled to read it again.

Re: What are you reading?

I refused for the longest time to get into the Twilight thing until one evening I had no kids and was bored so I dug around for a movie to watch (Haley had gotten it in her Easter basket). I watched the movie and fell in love with it! So much that I immediately searched for Haley's copy of New Moon and started reading it the same night.

Re: What are you reading?

I loved the Twilight series! I was sad when I was finished with them actually.
I just finished reading Augusten Burrough's Running with Scissors. Very intriging! I am currently bidding on another of his novels called Dry. They are all true accounts of his messed up childhood and something about them facinate me!

Me too, Krista! I think I have read every one of them now.
I also love the Debbie Macomber Cedar Cove series. I am anxiously awaiting the next book which is coming out in September!
Yard sales are great places to find books, too.

I also recently read Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks.
I have Shanghai Girls, too, which is new and a best seller, but I have not started reading it yet.

Elaine, you might like that book, and also there's another book I have that I haven't started reading yet, Geisha: A Life. I remember, Elaine that you (like me) really loved Memoirs of a Geisha.

A month? I would have gone stark raving mad if I had to go that long! Hell, I don't go more than a day without reading at least a little bit. There IS a reason the bathroom is called "the library" in our house! I have at least 5 books in there right now. And I just cleared it out a few weeks ago.

I just LOVED the Twilight series. I read all 4 of them twice in about a 2 month period (they were borrowed). Supposedly, she is writing another book, but I'm not sure what the premise is.

I have loved Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series (even got Rick to read them). Now I found a new series of hers, Barnaby. It's about a NASCAR driver (Hooker) and his spotter, Barney (the girl and main character). I have Motor Mouth right now (found it at the resale shop for 99 cents). HILARIOUS!

I just finished a Nora Roberts trilogy called The Sign of Seven. Nora Roberts is one of my faves because she has so many different types of books. (Also writes as J.D. Robb). And reread The Cardinal Virtues by Andrew Greeley. I've read most of his and loved them all.

Oh I can't wait for the next motor girl series Brenda! And I have every single JD Robb book. I buy them the day they are released. I'm not ashamed to be at Waldens at 10 when it opens...LOL!!

I love the Cedar Cove series, Tammy

Re: What are you reading?

I just don't seem to have the time for reading that I once did. However I did manage to read 2 of Jude Deveraux's older books over the past 3 days.

Re: What are you reading?

I can't afford her new book. I had it in my hand at the store when it first came out and put it back. Its the first one I haven't bought opening week.

I have a box full of books to "get rid of" I'm happy to pass on to whomever for just the cost of shipping (and no not the WHOLE box it's HUGE)

The past month I have read all of Augesten Bourogh's books except Sellivision which I have on reserve at the library. I am addicted to his books cuz his life was so screwed up!LOL! I even have him on my facebook!
