Re: What are you currently reading?

I just finished that one! I like Hoag's books because she combines really good crime stories with a little hot romance on the side

The first few pages look good! I can't wait to get started.

Re: What are you currently reading?

I just started reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. I read it ten years ago when it first came out, so this is a re-read for me. It’s a long novel (900+ pages) and it juggles about half a dozen story lines from different periods, different locations, which can be confusing at times. But somehow, it works.

"An Echo in the Bone" by Diana Gabaldon -- her latest in the romance/time travel (I know, it's a funny category) Outlander series. I can't get enough of it!

I also am reading the Midnight Breed vampire series (*gasp* I'm embarrassed to admit it OUT LOUD)

Oooh, ooh, and James Patterson's Maximum Ride series.

I love books in series -- anyone have good horror/romance/drama series' to recommend?

Bob Spitz's 900+ page bio of The Beatles. Thought it the appropriate read to coincide with the box-set remastered albums and the video game released today.

Finished yesterday - took me two months. I just don't get enough reading time in my day.

Starting next: "Defying Gravity" by Carol De Giere, about the works of Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, many others).

I absolutely LOVE Gabaldon's books! I've read them all - several times for each.

Have you read the Stephanie Plum novels? they are in a series starting with "One for the Money". They have action, romance & will make you laugh out loud at times that can be embarassing. I was reading one on the bus the other day & i was laughing so hard i had to put it away!

Hmmm what am I currently reading? How about the Help Wanted ads! I'm sure that's on the TOP 10 nowdays...especially now that 10% is now the unemployment rate.

Not yet, but I'm adding them to my library queue!

I've also read and re-read Gabaldon's books. Just love Jamie and Claire!

Re: What are you currently reading?

I’m just into Last Evenings on Earth by Roberto Bolaño, translated from the Spanish by Chris Andrews. A collection of exquisitely rendered short stories (based on the first three stories I’ve read so far).

taking inspiration from this thread, I purchased Gabaldon's "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" - all 1,438 pages of it! I started reading it a couple days ago & just don't want to put it down

Valley of the Dolls. And it's really not as scandalous as I'd been led to believe. Although it did come out in 1966, so maybe it was at the time.

I read it when it first came out...I wasn't too shocked, even then. A good read; enjoy!

Re: What are you currently reading?

trying to get into my new book, The Historian, a novel by Elizabeth Kostova. It's like Da Vinci Code, but about vampires...Vlad the Impaler, Dracula.... alleging they exist today. hmmmmm.

Re: What are you currently reading?

Just finished A Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks. Pretty good and kind of eerily fitting considering it's about a plague in England in 1665.

Re: What are you currently reading?

These were my favorite when I was a kid. Anyone else read them?

OMG!! I had ALL of the Trixie Belden books when I was a kid!!!! I used to beg my mom for 5 bucks when she took us to the mall just so I could run over to Waldenbooks just to get another Trixie book! Actually, Im going home for the holidays, and I can read them when Im there!!! Awesome!

When you start reading Sweet Valley High tho, Im gonna start to worry....
