Go to
  • I am almost done with, "Overbite" by Meg Cabot
  • Just about to start reading In Defense of Food

    So looking forward to this book
  • Loved Secret Life of Bees! Haven't read the book Lincoln Lawyer but saw the movie and loved it!

    Anyway...finished Smokin Seventeen, What's Your is Mine and on to The Help. Went to see the movie even though I wanted to read the book first and it was good so decided to go ahead and read the book, lol.
  • I'm about a third of the way through A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving, but I'll be taking a break from that for Tuesday and Wednesday. I think I'll be reading Paper Towns by John Green, and The Thirteenth Tale (don't have the novel handy at the moment, and can't recall the author, also too lazy to look it up at the moment).
  • just starting Wicked Appetite byt Janet Evanovich....

    side note....how do all the Evanovich fans frrl about Katherine Hiegel as Stephanie Plum...
  • I liked when they were considering Sandra Bullock as Stephanie...don't care for any of the people they chose for the movie especially Katherine Hiegel. Not sure I will see the movie when it comes out.
  • I have put down & picked back up numerous times the Sword of Shannara trilogy by Terry Brooks. I really enjoyed my recent forays into fantasy with Song of Ice & Fire and I love the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I'm just not very involved with this one, the second book was soooo slooow, I'm on the last book now, and it's better, but I'll only finish it because I can't stand leaving a book 'half way'.
  • I am reading The Help, loving it!

    Just started The Eighty Dollar Champion, really good so far.

    I was reading Women, Food and God and it's a library loan so I don't know if I'll finish it. Seems I a lot of times take out books from the library meaning to finish them but get caught up in other good books and never finish them LOL, so many books, so little time...

    Not sure how I feel about her either...I have a picture of Stephanie in my head and I cant think of any "star" right now that fits it....that sad part is once I watch the movie...that persons face will be the one I read when I read the series..
  • The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
  • "Not me"...about a guy who finds out his dad's entire identity was a lie. Pretty good so far.
  • I just finished Push by Saphire and am debating whether or not I'll include it in my classroom library for independent reading (maybe only with a letter from parent). I have about 50 pages to finish in Mockingjay, which I plan to knock out tonight.
  • Finished Safe Haven by Sparks. A fast read and good.
    Never did get to The Help..maybe that will be next.
  • I finished with Paper Towns this morning. It was an excellent young adult/teen fiction novel (quite a bit of swearing though, though that doesn't bother me). I guess I'll be working on A Prayer for Owen Meaney again. I want to finish it, but I have a few other books I'm really looking forward to reading.

    Glad to see your rec! I ordered Paper Towns a few days ago from Amazon for my classroom- can't wait to read it myself. I have hundreds and hundreds of books in my classroom library, and of course the favorites have plenty of profanity, sex, etc. Ha. I loved Owen Meany, and once you get through your stack, you'd probably like Looking for Alaska by same author as Paper Towns-- it's great and a favorite in my room, which is what prompted me to get Paper Towns.
