Whatcha Reading March 2011?
 

Yeah! March is finally here!! Another month of reading great books, please share with us what you are reading.

I just started Meg Cabot's "Big Boned"

Um ... April??

Wicked! by Jilly Cooper (quite fat book, at the pace I take it should take me the better part of 2 weeks to read)

Lily dale by Wicker I'm from the area where Lily Dale is located so it seemed interesting. Also Growing up Green, I can't remember who it's by and Hard Times by Charles Dickens. I keep books in various places so I don't have to haul them around but am never without something to read. lol

dang it! Guess I just *wish* it was April. ( tax season )

Could a mod please change that to March. Thanks in advance!

The Shack and also The English Patient..love love love that book..re-reading it again for the 3rd time.

Still plugging away at Dragonfly in Amber, and I have The Hunger Games set aside as my next read.

I finally found a new series that I am really enjoying: in fact I am almost obsessed! The Ian Rutledge series by Charles Todd (actually a mother/son writing team) . They are police procedurals that take place after WWI. The main character is from Scotland Yard and is badly shell shocked and gradually pulling his life and sanity back together as he works to solve his case. The attraction for me is the historical period and the likeability of the characters especially Rutledge but also his sister. The stories are very complex, maybe too complex but I like that too because I need to concentrate on them to get the whole picture.

a night to remember by walter lord.

it's purported as the most accurate account of the night the titanic sunk.

OH! That sounds interesting!

working on "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss- the second part just came out and I want to have it all fresh in my mind when I read it. Am so excited about "Wise Man's Fear"!!!

I just got Jodi Picoult's newest book in the mail, so I know what I'm reading for the next few days.

Sherry

the movie's great, too. some things make a lot more sense when the main story doesn't revolve around jack and rose.

anyway. moving on to shirley temple's autobiography.

Currently I am between books. I just finished reading the Bone Island trilogy by Heather Grahm.

I just finished Dewey by Vicki Myron. It was a good tale especially to a cat lover like me.
Don't know what is next yet.

French Pressed - Cleo Coyle

I am now obsessed with this "coffehouse mystery" series and have finished 5 of the books in the last few weeks. It's basically about a coffee house manager who solves murders. Very well written NYC cozy mystery books. Highly recommend.

Also

Don't Pee on my leg and Tell me it's Raining-Judge Judy

randomly found this at the library. I'm enjoying it. It's an insightful look at the family court problems of the US. Also offers pratical solutions. Plus its easy to read and offers Judy's straight talk and humor.

Oh bless you for reminding me of that lizzie! I was so obsessed with TNotW but completely forgot to check up on Wise Man's Fear until you mentioned that - thank you! :hug: Other than that I'm currently barreling through J.D. Robb's "In Death" series.. definitely lighter reading but I'm so caught up in it!

I'm halfway through reading "Restless" by William Boyd ..... a spy thriller set in world war two with a female protagonist .... enjoying it so far ...

Next on my list is 'Faceless Killers" by Henning Mankell .... I loved the Wallander TV series so really really looking forward to reading this one .... I've already got two and three on my reader in anticipation that these will be must reads too ...

Re-reading all of the Harry Potters. On the Prisoner of Azkaban currently! :)

I just finished Alice I Have Been. It was such a good book! Well, I liked it a lot at least. I think next up is the newest Robert Crais The Sentry because I bought it for my son and we both like his books. It's a real book, I usually read mostly on my Kindle but for some reason my son dislikes the Kindle and I have to buy real books for him. At least this way we can loan it to my in-laws when we're done.

I'm about halfway through Teenage Waistlane: http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Waistl...8&sr=8-3-fkmr0 I am really enjoying it so far.

about 300 pages into Wise Man's Fear and so far i loooove it!

im reading: Anybody Out There - Marian Keyes only a few chapters in but its got the same charm and funniness that all her other books have. I really like this kind of light reading, its a nice relax on the train or in the bath... perfect

Has anyone read Room? I have herd good reviews so far was thinking of this one next

Loved Big Boned and The Shack!

Currently reading The Quickie by James Patterson. Finished up with Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah and I loved it!

I just finished reading Leaving Paradise, Return to Paradise, Rules of Attraction, and Perfect Chemistry all by Simone Elkeles. They're teen/higschool based romances but I finished all of the books over my week long spring break, and absolutely love them!

I just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (6th), and just started Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (7th/last one). This is my first time reading them - I decided it was time!

I have a crime thriller slated for my next read! I can't remember the name of it, but it's a Robert Crais book that my fiance just finished and said I had to read it next. :-)

I'm almost done "The Girl Who Played With Fire" by Stieg Larsson. I'm sure I'll want the third book when I'm done!

what is bone island about? that sounds pretty interesting just from the name

So I downloaded Hunger Games and then realized I have about 6 unread books on my Kindle. I think I'll be fine for my trip next week.

im in the process of reading soul screamers series. so far so good. i love the supernatural. its a great escape..

I'm still trying to finish Richard Grant's "Views from the Oldest House." Whenever I think of giving up on that book, something happens to get me hooked again. I'm going to start reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series after this.

I'm currently reading "Vanishing Acts" by Jodi Picoult. It's the last book of hers that I haven't read. I just finished her newest a couple days ago - it was so good :)

and I LOVE Big Boned!! Meg Cabot is my favorite author!!!

Dogs and Demons and Snow Crash, at the moment. Cryptonomicon, Neuromancer and Tokyo Vice are on the list for later this month.

just finished reading book 7 of tomorrow when the war began series... gosh sitting down bawling my eyes out through most of it.. what a sook!

not sure if I am game to pick up the Ellie Chronicles or find something else to go to for a while.

I have just finished A Discovery of Witches, because it got such great reviews in every magazine I've picked up for the last two months. I was kind of let down. It started out great and I thought hey, this is something I could really enjoy! But then it just never went anywhere.

I read Queen of the Turtle Derby by Julia Reed earlier this month. It's short essay about Southern Living.

I'm reading Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut right now.

finished Wise Man's Fear and i'm feeling that end of a good book depression. it was so good. sadness.

on to another giant fantasy themed book- the third in the Shadowfell series by Tad Williams, the first two were excellent, though nothing compares to Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear.

Homers Odyssey by Gwenn Cooper, its about a Blind Cat so incredibly touching......

Chelsea Handlers Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.

Can anyone simply tell me how they type what they want to say in link? So I can say the name of the book and the link will take you to that page.
