Whatcha Reading July 2009?
 

New Month means new thread! Please share with us what you are currently reading.


I am reading Something Borrowed by Emily Griffen. I really enjoy it so far.

currently: how i live now, by Meg Rosoff. YA dystopic lit about (possibly) the end of the world. it's fantastic so far.

next up: What Happened to Cass McBride?, by Gail Giles. Also YA lit, about a girl who gets kidnapped. (i'm in library school and i'm taking a YA lit class.)

Currently, The Rapture of Canan then I have, I Know This Much is True, three stories from Corrie Ten Boom and a few other things I got from my Grandma.

I'm still reading Middlemarch by George Eliot.

Just finished Life of Pi - I can see why other people would really dig it, but I thought it was overly precious. I did enjoy the ending in a Sixth Sense sort of way. I liked the second half of the book (after the shipwreck) much more than the first half of the book (which I almost abandoned several times).

I just started reading the time travellers wife....its really good so far

On the trip to DC I read Crazy for the Storm which I enjoyed. It was an easy read and quite interesting. I then downloaded April and Oliver which I am also enjoying. I'm sure I'll either have to download a new book to the Kindle for the trip home or read one of the classics I already have on it.

The Samurai and the Sacred by Stephen Turnbull. It's about the various religious influences on Japan and the Samurai. Love it!

I just finished Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich. Fun book!

I read the bestseller "Lost and Found" (forgot author) last week in one day. It was one of those feel good kind of stories that are easy reading. Next up will be James Patterson's latest in the Women's Murder Club series--#8. I wonder, why is it that summer seems such a perfect time for reading?

I'm really enjoying seeing what everyone else has underway! I'm currently reading Strip Tease, by Carl Hiassen, for the second time. It's the book that the movie was based on, but the book is a lot more complex. It's a great read!

"the Demon in the Freezer" by Richard Preston. It's about smallpox. I want to go to grad school for epidemiology. It's SCARY and I'm now afraid of the Russians and their bioweapons. It's fantastic though, and I highly recommend it.

I am reading the "Dead..." series by Charlaine Harris. I actually just started and am on the second book in the series so I'm not even sure what they are calling the series itself...lol. I'm really into vampire books and I've read all of the vampire chronicles by anne rice (read those when I was in 8th grade) and i've also read the Anita Blake vampire hunter series as well. But I'm rambling again....So yeah...um...I'm reading "Living Dead In Dallas" right now. :)

I just started "Harvesting the Heart" by Jodi Picoult. I generally enjoy her books but I'm having trouble getting into this one.

I kind of have that problem with some of her books. I either love them or can't get through them.
