I'm reading A Street Cat Named Bob, I love this book.

I have been putting off reading the book, Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting for a book group. I'm not crazy about the way it's written.

Sometimes I read the book, Every Patient Tells A Story, I checked it out from my hospital's library, quite a good read.

I'm still struggling through book 5 of the Wheel of Time series. Only 150 pages left, so hopefully I can barrel through this weekend. I also just picked up The Fault in our Stars, but I'm saving that for a night I'm home alone, since I understand it'll make me cry buckets.

Other than that, I may check out Mira Grant's books - sounds interesting. Too bad the libraries in my area aren't the best; we don't have too much choice (unless I want to read Harlequin romances or spiritual fiction).

I've got to finish Catching Fire. Then I'm going to read Ender's Game as I really enjoyed the movie. I had read the Hunger Games prior to the movie, but never did finish Catching Fire as I go through reading phases and just have not been in the mood.

After that..... I don't know. I need to find a good fantasy series.

I am rereading the Outlander series. Anxiously awaiting the new book next spring!!

I love scifi, so I will check out some of the above suggestions. I haven't read anything GREAT in a while. :-(

The Fault In Our Stars looks really good. I always like to find good, interesting, fun reads.

I'm reading

Female Chauvinist Pigs by Ariel Levy
Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters
The Orc King by R.A. Salvatore
How to Meditate by Pema Chodrun
and The Feminist Porn Book

I am almost always reading too many books and I really need to get through the Drizzt Do'Urden series already! I found Sarah Waters this month. She looks like a good LGBTQIA author, which can be a hard find. I've been working through How to Meditate for a while and it's a really lovely book for anyone who's trying to make that a part of their lives and the other two books are books about feminism, so if you're into that they're really good so far.

I just started reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. I've never read any of his books before, but it seems really interesting.

I've read American Gods, Stardust, and some of the Sandman comics from him. He's a great writer.

I've read a few of his books and enjoyed them, but not the one you're reading. Hope you'll pop back in and let us know what you thought of it when you're done.

Finished reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane, for those that were asking. The writing was excellent, and the content was interesting, but it didn't really hold my attention all that well. I will most likely try one of his other novels if there are any suggestions. I started on A Game of Thrones last night. I've had the books for a few years, just never got around to reading them.

I'm loving Provence, 1970 by Luke Barr. It's about James Beard, Julia Child, M.F.K. Fischer and other influential foodies who all end up in the same region of France at the same time in late 1970 at a time when their begins to be a shift in the way they see cooking in America. Fascinating.

I haven't started it yet but I just got the book Killing Jesus as a Thanksgiving gift, it should be a good read.

I also picked up A Lion Named Christian (I think that's the title). It's very interesting.
