What are you reading?

except for Harry Potter, that is.

I'm nearly finished with On Beauty, by Zadie Smith. meh. I've been mostly bored with it throughout, but I rarely don't finish books that I begin, and I remain hopeful until the last page.



After that, I have Chris Moore's You Suck, A Love Story waiting. We got it signed by the author at a bookstore appearance months ago, and my beloved is pushing me to READ IT so that we can talk about it. It's a sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends. If you've never read Chris, oh, please do. All of his books are a laugh fest, some pull laughter from me on every page.

"Snowflower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See.

A wonderful story, based on Chinese foot binding and the ties among women. I loved it.

I just finished Alice Hoffman's Skylight Confessions and am now reading another of her books, The Ice Queen.

I am a big fan of hers. I can't say I've read all of her books but many of them.

I liked Skylight Confessions better than I'm liking the Ice Queen but I do like it.

I haven't read a lot in a long time. And yes, I read the last Harry Potter.

If you haven't read any of Ann Patchett's novels, you might like those. I liked the Magician's Aprentice and loved Bel Canto.

Happy reading!

I've been wanting to read Ann Pachett's books. My to-be-read pile is quite big.

Right now, I'm reading The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown. It's ok; a fairly easy read (very conversational). There are some TMI moments, which I really could have done without.

Next is the new Khalid Hosseni novel. I'm drawing a blank on the title right now. A Thousand Splendid Suns or something like that. I got both of the books at the library, and there's a huge waiting list, so I only get 2 wks to read them.

After seeing recently for the first time the WONDERFUL movie "The Phantom Of the Opera" starring handsome Gerard Butler....I 've been reading sequels to the movie. Amazon has a lot of books and I have read three so far and have two more ordered.

So far they are all good...but none have the Phantom ending up with Christine which I WANT to happen.

If you want to see a wonderful, sad and romantic movie check it out...wow!!!

The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie. Each year I generally re-read her works at some stage.

What is a TMI moment? True meaningful incidents?

TMI=Too Much Information: disclosures of a personal nature which make the listener/reader want to scrub their brains with a bristle brush

I'm reading "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory. I've never read historical fiction before, and I absolutely LOVE this book so far!!
