What are you reading right now??

Da Vinci was worth reading even with all the hype.

Pam I noticed you are reading Deception Point too. How far did you get. I read 74 pages so far.

Some Nicholas Sparks books may be sad but they are worth reading.

Watermelon - Marian Keyes & so far so good!

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

It's about a daughter's journey to finish her father's research for the search of Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula. Very good mystery/thriller, but it's 642 pages!!!






I've put it aside for now and started Janet Evanovich's Eleven On Top. It'll be a fast read, then I can go back to the other one.

Reading a book called "Your Mouth is Lovely"

It's a historical novel (fictional) that takes place in Russia in the late 1800's/early 1900's about the Jewish village population and the different revolutions.
Not my typical book, but it's the exact time period my great-grandmother grew up in the same area so I find it interesting.

Angels and Demons

Next is another Jodi Picoult book...Vanishing Acts...

4th of July by James Patterson - Excellent read
Scott

I just finished Memoirs of a Geisha and loved it - so interesting!

Now I'm reading Angels & Demons. I was in Italy and went to the Vatican on Monday and my DH had just finished it on the plane over there and said I had to read it. Its interesting since we were just there!

Just finished Count Down by Iris Johansen. Pretty good, but I enjoyed Body of Lies more.

Rich Dad Poor Dad- what the rich teach their children that the poor and middle class don't.

i bought it at the same time as the Shopoholic books, so those are next (though the combination seems somewhat Counter-productive )

I just finished the purpose driven life

Very good book! and I try to read a few pages in the bible everyday but I have been slacking lately :(

This is my third time thru it, each time I learn or realize something new

I am reading Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. Its good!

The second summer of sisterhood (just finished the traveling pants).
I also finished something borrowed and will be starting something blue.

I'm reading "The Eight" by Katherine Neville. It takes place during the French Revolution, and involves a chess set once owned by Charlemagne, said to have incredible powers, and was buried piece by piece in an Abbey in France. The nuns are forced to flee the Abbey, some of them taking the pieces with them in order to keep the enemy from finding them.

The story also takes place in the 70's and that's the part that I'm up to.
So far, so good! Very engrossing and well written.

I need ideas for my next book, so I'm bumping this up...

Right now I'm reading "Girl's Night Out", its a collection of short stories by female writers including Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Weiner, Meg Cabot plus 18 more. Profits go to the Charity War Child which protects children in the Democratic Republic of Congo - there is info on the charity in the beginninig of the book. While its a great cause and a great idea, I don't really like the book. Maybe its the short story genre in general that I don't like, I'm not sure.
