Today I read Janet Evanovitch's latest book "Plum Lucky" It is another half step book -- between "Lean, Mean Thirteen" and her upcoming not yet published "Fearless Fourteen". It was a hoot. I about wet my pants on page 88, it was so funny. (You will know it when you get there)! It was a very fast read, totally unbelievable, but very good.

I also just finished "The Senator's Wife" by Sue Miller. I didn't care for the ending as I felt a little cheated. I would say it is worth reading but get it from the library.

I'm working my way thru Jim Cramer's Mad Money about investing. It's an easy read.

Just finished Rachel Ray's latest cookbook but I can't think of the name of it. It has 15, 30 and 60 minutes recipes. I also have 2 new bread baking books checked out, and another new book about baking things in general.

I'm next in line at the library to get "Rhett Butler's People".

So what are you all reading, and is it good???

This may not sound exciting to most people, but DS and I are reading together, David Beckhams book Both feet on the ground.

We went to the library and he wanted a book about David Beckham and the only one they had was huge. He is 9 and was intimidated by the size so he wanted to put it back.

I suggested we read it together and he loves it!!
Everynight, he says, are we going to read a chapter?


I am also in line at the library for Tony Dungys book quiet strength.

I just finished 2 books: "Best Friends" by Martha Moody (which I didn't like, and was unsatisfying) and the 7th book in the "Yada Yada Prayer Group" series (which is the last in the series, and I loved the book-- I'm so sad it's ending).

I just started "Something Borrowed" by Emily Griffin, and I'm currently reading another book called "I'd rather do chemo than clean out the garage" by Fran Di Giacomo.

A friend introduced me to Janet Evanovich. I started reading the Stephanie Plum series around the middle of October. I just got 12 Sharp this evening and have already read to chapter 12. I just can't put them down once I start!

BTW- did you see that Fearless 14 is due to be released in June? It's already on preorder at Amazon!!!!!

I just finished reading Pride and Prejudice. I never had to read this in high school, not sure why. It took me a little while to get into it because of the way the language is written, but fantastic read.

I just received Jennifer Donnelly's A Nothern Light the other day from my paperbackswap group and it is next for me to start.

I just finished Dwayne "Dog" Chapman's Autobiography today and as soon as one of my co-workers finishes the book she is reading by Barak Obama she is letting me borrow it. I have several V.C. Andrews Books I need to get caught up on I am about a series behind.

I'm reading "The Answer: Putting an End to the Search for Life Satisfaction" by Randy Pope...he's the pastor of Perimeter Church down here. A friend gave it to me...I'm only half way through, but so far it's a very good book. ~Lisa

I'm not. I just finished a John Irving book. I have an Australian book called Picnic At Hanging Rock that I need to find and start.

I just finished Fall Onto Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald. It was an Oprah Book Club Book. A slow read, didn't love it, although the ending was a bit of a shocker.

I am now reading Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral. Just started it, seems cute, a quick light read, and I have Shopaholic and Baby in the wings for next.

almost done with "Footprints of God" by Greg Illes...FAB! NOT a religious book

I go thru about 3 books every 1.5 to 2 weeks

I buy paperbacks during the summer at all of the yard sales I go to for 50 cents a piece. All during the Winter I just grab one out and when finished I toss it in "my" yard sale box to sell in the Spring. Cheesy romances and sometimes Christian, sometimes mysteries whatever I happen to find. The one I grabbed out of the box and read the other day was Baby Love by Catherine Anderson. It was o.k. enough I passed it along to my mom for her to read too.

The two books I currently have checked out of the library are Science Fair books and a Non-Dairy Dessert book. What does that say about me?

I'm reading the Zoo Keepers Wife. It's crazy good. It's amazing that this story has fallen through the cracks and is just now being told. Very good.

I just finished Born Standing up. I loved it. I kept reading to my Hubby and now he says he doesn't need to read it because I found the need to read it to him. I couldn't help it! It was a good book.

A friend told me about Swaptree - book swap, exchange, trade books, swap video games, trade DVDs, swap CDs, for free. you list books, movies, cds, and video games that you don't need anymore and trade for ones you want. You pay to ship your old to receive new!! I love it!!

I'm now reading Tryptech by Karin Slaughter. I've been reading the JD Robb In Death series and am now looking for the fourth book I think for that one. I read alot. I mostly get my books from my dad once or twice a year after he is done with them. He reads the same kind of books. Has anyone bought the new John Grisham book and can tell us if it is any good?

I just finished reading "Three Cups of Tea: One Mans Mission to Promote Peace.....One School at a Time" by Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin. It was one of the most inspiring books I've ever read. It's about one mans incredible mission to build schools in poverty stricken Pakistan and Afghanistan. I've been on the waiting list at the library for "The Zoo Keepers Wife" for a month. I just picked up "Atonement". I want to read it before I see the movie as I always find the books better than the movies. Some of my recent excellent reads of non-fiction are: "Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil" by Deborah Rodriguez, "The Glass Castle: A Memoir" by Jeannette Walls, "Shattered Dreams: My Life as a Polygamist's Wife" by Irene Spencer. The best fiction I've read in a long time was "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini.

I just finished reading ANIMAL DREAMS by Barbara Kingsolver and enjoyed it very much.
I don't read as much as I would like to.
I found this book in a thrift store in Florida and read it on the way home and finshed it in bed last night.

I just started Swimming Naked by Stacy Sims but am having a hard time getting into it. I also have been asked to read the book my daughter is reading for her book project at school and I find myself picking that up more often than my book. I want to start reading Water for Elephants but I refuse to start until I finish this book!
