I finished the House at Riverton and it was kind of eh. The mystery that interested me was initially too obvious and then completely dropped. It did have a very compelling beginning and the ending was okay, I found the middle of the novel such a slog I almost gave up on it!

In contrast, I just finished Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Soceity and I loved it. It was hard to get started, I almost gave up (I find epistolary novels overly twee) but by page 67, I was completely hooked and just drank the novel as quickly as possible! A great book, I will probably give a copy to my mom for Christmas.

Picked up a stack from the library today, I'm so behind. Not sure what I'll read next!

LisaMarie - who wrote Such a Pretty Fat? Quick synopsis?
I just finished When You Are Engulfed in Flames and I wasn't all that impressed. I was kind of sad because I absolutely loved all of Sedaris's other books. I just couldn't get into it. Maybe because I have never smoked?

I'm reading Augusten Burroughs' 'Magical Thinking'. I love that crazy evil man, he is my long lost twin in snide humor

Started re-reading George RR Martin's series A Song of Ice and Fire- I'm still on book one A Game of Thrones - only to find out that the chick at the bookstore was wrong - there is no next book coming out at the end of this month. So crushed... but I'm still gonna re-read them in anticipation for whenever it does finally come out.

I just finished Small Favor by Jim Butcher. I love his Dresden files books. Now I am looking of ideas of what to read next. I love science fiction and fantasy stories.

GatorgalstuckinGa: I loved Neverwhere. Neil Gaimen is an awesome writer. Stardust and Good Omens (co-authored with Terry Pratchett) are my favorites by Gaimen.

After finishing all four of the Twilight series (in only 2.5 weeks!) I picked up Inside the Kingdom by Carmen bin Ladin and am now reading Mad Dash by Patricia Gaffney. I have all the Jen Lancaster books up next followed by Host by Stephenie Meyer and a couple others that I can't remember the title/author.

I am currently working my way through....Memoriors of a Geisha. I only have time to read to though on the train to school twice a week. The rest of the time, my head is in my math book!

Right now I'm reading textbooks
But my recent reads are "The Travelers Gifts." Awesome for people who like to live in history, in their imaginations.
I love all the Narnia books and read them as much as possible.
The Last Lecture is what I'm trying to get through now.

Since posting last I have read Size 14 is Not Fat Either by Meg Cabot and am currently reading Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich...I liked the first and so far 14 is good as well.
