I just finished The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond and Somebody Else's daughter by Elizabeth Brundage before that. Both were very good reads.
Not sure what's next...

If your lame I'm lame I'm (re)reading the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding!!! And even then it's only on the johnI am totally lame. I'm reading 'What To Expect When You're Expecting.' I don't think I've read any fiction books in a couple years.
It's such a shame, too. When I was in high school, I had read every paperback historical Christian romance in the library.
I was just sitting here reading all these post thinking how in the world do these chicks have time to read for pleasure!?!?! :blink:

LOL! I get most of my reading done before falling asleep - I can't sleep unless I read first, actually...I'll just lay there for hours awake. But I can read for an hour or so and after I've dropped the book for the second time, I know it's safe to put it away, turn off the light and sleep, lol.

I've started reading during some of the times I'm nursing the baby and spending a few nights a week reading instead of scrapping and surfing. It's working well, but I do feel like I'm missing a lot of what goes on in the forums these days.
I just finished the Twilight saga and am about to reread them. I also read the partial 5th book that Stephenie Meyers released on her website, Midnight Sun. Midnight Sun was Twilight from Edward's point of view, and reading it gave me a lot more insight into Edward's character and his early days with Bella. (http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html Stephenie put it up there because she no longer wanted to work on it after copies were illegally posted online.)
I read Handle With Care just before that. I was enjoying it up until the last few pages, but the ending ruined the book for me.
I haven't finished the Harry Potter series, so I may go back and start those over after I finish the Twilight books.

I started reading the Anita Blake series last month - and I'm desperately trying to get involved in them -I think I'm on book 3 (haha - my dh buys me books and red Coach - his :love language: seems to be gifts - haha) and I have at least another 7 by my bed.
Off to add the Merry series to my BN wishlist!

It took me a couple of books to get into them. At first Anita's hard-headed personality really turned me off, and she honestly hasn't gotten much better, but it seems to work as far as the stories go. I guess I don't have to like the main character to enjoy the books. I lurve Jean Claude. ♥♥♥
I just checked the author's website and it appears that the Anita Blake Vampire series is going to be made into a TV Series. That should be interesting. It is on the front page of her website HERE.
I have the first 2 books of the Merry series, but haven't started reading them yet. I usually will give a series 2 books before I commit to reading any more of it.
What I like about the Anita Blake series is that the books are relatively easy to read, there is tons of action, and there is always a very climatic ending. When I get toward the end of the book I can't for the life of me stop reading cuz I just have to find out what happens.

I did read somewhere that she would be eventually releasing it but, put it on the back burner to work on a sequel to The Host (I think I'm remembering the right sequel!)
I'm currently reading Obsession by Jonathan Kellerman. I haven't read his in a while so, I grabbed a few at the library. I finished the newest Jefferson Bass book a week or so ago, can't remember the name though!! LOL And, I have another Kellerman book and 2 Linda Fairstein books waiting for me. I'm playing catch up.
I also have The Host on reserve, last I checked I was #66 on the list!! And, I got DH to buy me Twilight so I can reread that series. Twilight was a borrowed book and then the rest were bought for me but, I couldn't reread with out the first!! It'll be the first time I've EVER reread books! I'm horrible in that I tend to remember the end halfway through!! LOL
Oh, and my reading time is either in the car, I usually make DH drive!! Or, I'm a big take a bath and read person, That's my escape!! LOL

I finished reading Handle With Care last night...I'm so torn to whether I loved it or hated it, lol...so hard to know sometimes with her! I ended up giving it 4 stars (out of 5) because I enjoyed it all the way until the end.
I have no idea what to read next...probably some light chick-lit...I've read too many "heavy" books in a row now.

As the mother of a child with a genetic condition (who is doing very well), I was intrigued with the post here about Handle with Care - I read the spoilers and after seeing the ending there is NO way I could read that book!
For the Women's Murder series are they are gruesome as some of his other work? I really like his books but honestly some of them give me nightmares! DH and I have agreed to NEVER mention some of the parts of Kiss the Girls to each other.

right now i'm trying to read Harvesting the Heart: A Novel by Jodi Picoult . It's my first time reading one of her books
I also love all of Jodi's books!! I can't do My Sister's Keeper though - I know how it ends (a friend ruined it for me) and I don't think I can do it. And I always have to take a little break after I finish one of her books. I tend to get really involved in my books. I think I was actually a little depressed myself for a week or 2 after Nineteen Minutes....but I love how she really makes you think and examine both sides of an issue. I always need a "fluff" book after though! Handle With Care is on my bookshelf waiting for me.
Right now I'm reading Fallen Skies by Phillipa Gregory. Sometimes I love Phillipa Gregory and sometimes I hate her. I loved the Other Boleyn Girl and the others in that series, but I couldn't stand the Wideacre books. Actually, I liked the first one a lot, the second one was OK, but by the 3rd one I was just too disturbed!! Fallen Skies is pretty good so far.
My book club just read the God of Small Things and I was extremely disappointed. It had been on my "Must Read" list for quite awhile and it was my pick for book club and I didn't even finish it. I hated it. I just couldn't get into it and halfway through I still had no idea what it was even about and I couldn't keep the characters straight. Has anyone else read that? I really wanted to like it....it sounded awesome.
