Today I went to the library and got:

Lady Killer by Lisa Scottoline
Basket Case by Carl Hiaasen
Bare Bones by Kathy Reichs
Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld (I have thought about reading it for a while, then read the reviews on here and decided to finally read it!)
and
Lucky You by Carl Hiaasen

Luckily, I learned most of these can be out for three weeks instead of two like I thought!

I've just started reading his books and love them! They're so quirky and fun. I love the language he uses.  :)

I really want to read his books, but still haven't.

I picked up the Lollipop Shoes by Joanne Harris from the library yesterday. Loving it!

Just finished, On Chesil Beach. I someimes have difficulty getting into McEwan's books, but I got into this one quite easily. I liked that it was short and sweet, but I wouldn't mind finding out more about what happens to the characters.

Now reading Then We Came to the End.

Just got Pride and Prejudice from a co-worker.  Never read an Austen novel before, believe it or not....  :D

Two books at the moment:

Evening in the Palace of Reason - about a meeting between Bach and Frederick the Great

and a book on x-ray fluorescence and its applications.

I just finished Gyles Brandreth's Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders and am about to start Mary Wesley's The Camomile Lawn.

Just finished Petite Anglais, our book club selection and am now reading The Yacoubian Building by Alaa Al Aswany

First one was a great and light read.  Easy to get engrossed in :)

Second one is interesting but not something to read when you are exhausted as you just get confused and fall asleep!   ::)  Or maybe that's only me!

I decided I wasn't really in the mood for Mary Wesley, so instead I'm reading A Pin to See the Peepshow by F. Tennyson Jesse. It's so beautifully written that I don't want it to end.

Sepulchre by Kate Mosse. Not as good as Labyrinth but entertaining.

Has anybody read George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss?  I like Maggie, but what's up with the Thomas Hardy style ending?  I think Middlemarch is better.

I've been finding out more about George Eliot and now I'm dying to read a good biography of her.

I agree...took ages to get into but it does seem to get a bit better!

I am reading The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley.  I have wanted to read it for years and finally got my hands on a copy!
