Am halfway through "Water for Elephants" now. Pretty good so far.

Recently read Edna Buccannan's series starting with the one she wrote in 2001. I love murder mysteries. Have read all the Patterson Women's Murder Club books, anxious for the next.

I'm about 1/2 way through Invisible Prey by John Sanford- so far, so good. After this one I'll read The Burnt House by Faye Kellerman. I just love a good murder!!

The ladies are on there way to my house right now. We just read My Sister's Keeper. I can't wait to discuss it!

I just finished reading the last book (#13) in the Stephanie Plum series last night. Now I have to wait until June for #14.

I have a few Lorna Landvik books that I think I will start on next.

I love the Women's Murder Club series by Patterson. They're making it a television series. Want to see how that measures up to the books.

I'm still on my history/biography reading binge. Just finished "Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Ms. Ali was raised in Somalia but lived in Ethopia, Kenya, and Saudi Arabia as well while growing up. She suffered a great deal - including female mutilation as a 5 year old little girl. She escaped to Holland on her way to her arranged marriage husband in Canada and created a new life for herself. It is an excellent read - thought difficult in places. I strongly recommend it.

I just started The Innocent Man also. This one is different from Grisham's other books that I've read. It reminds me of the books by Ann Rule. When my daughters started dating, I made them read her Death by Sunset.
I think I read Sandford's entire Prey series. Got hooked on the first one & just had to read them all.

I watched the first show last week. They have made some changes. They have a blond as the prosecuter and I think she is Asian in the book. They had an Asian as the reporter and she was killed and now they are going to have another younger chick as the reporter. They also have the main character's ex husband as her boss and I don't think that is in the books either.

Other than that it wasn't too bad.

Great thread! Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Right now I am reading California Real Estate Law any free time I have I always have to read something to study or a kids book...

Next month I am going on a cruise and I had NO idea what I could take along to read. I got some great suggestions here Thanks!!

I started reading Twilight over the weekend and just finished it last night. I can't believe how involved I am with this book. I can't wait to start on the second one "New Moon".

i recently finished "the innocent man" - great story.

i'm almost done "reading lolita in tehran" (sp?) - it's not bad. i'm also reading the sue grafton alphabet series. i just started "L". but i've heard so much about water for elephants, i might read that next.

LOL! Yeah, my friends and I have decided we probably need to seek professional help. So far we're settling for spreading the addiction as far as possible. So.....would YOU like to join our "we're-over-30-and-madly-in-love-with-a-teenage-vampire" fanclub?

Almost done with Grisham's new one "Playing for Pizza". Its pretty good. Makes you want to go to the nearest good Italian restaurant!

Currently reading Sleepyhead by Mark Billgham. It came highly recommended, but I'm only about 50 pages in...

oh, CP, i have that for my next audio book. i haven't read a john grisham novelin years and i'm looking forward to it. (the innocent man doesn't count because it's not a novel)

Wow Kitten, I didn't realize it until your post! You said it's not a novel so I pulled it out (I'm reading it now) and sure enough, it's non-fiction! I didn't even realize that when I picked it up!

yeah, cg. it makes the whole concept more scary doesn't it???

I've taken a break from history/biography and am reading "Eldest" by Christopher Paolini. Does anyone know if he's written the 3rd book to this series? I couldn't find it a Books-a-million.

I don't think so. I've been keeping an eye out for it at our BAM and haven't seen anything yet...

I recently read:
The Secret Life of Bees (Sue Monk Kidd)
The Memory Keepers Daughter (can't remember)

I am reading now:
When Crickets Cry (Charles Martin)

All wonderful books. The Charles Martin book has keep me on the edge of my seat with a box of Kleenex......

I'm reading Picture me Dead- I think that's it- by Heather Graham. It's pretty good.

Hurricane Bay next- that's by her too.

PJS - is that the actress heather graham? i didn't know she was an author too.

I don't think so Kitten. Meow----------------> your pic is cute!

thanks! it's an homage to our friend bailey.

Last book I read was Paula Deen's autobiography. Although I'm not a fan, my mom forced it on me.. I gave in.. I was actually impressed by her story.
