At the moment I am buying far more books than I am reading. My book list of "want to read" has gotten ridiculously long. Here are a few books I am really looking forward to reading --* The Story Sisters - by Alice Hoffman
* The Lace Reader - by Brunonia Barry
* The lost book of Salem (also called "the physick book of Deliverence Dan" in USA)- by Katherine Howe
* The Girl who chased the Moon - by Sarah Addison Allen (due out in March 2010)
What are you reading now/next?

Happy Spring Day! I havent read in a long while but i watched twighlight this weekend (i finally realised what the hype is all about) and now i just HAVE to have the book series. Just trying to figure out who to con into buying it for me. Last book i read was Third Degree by Greg Isles and its gripping stuff! I highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteMiss T- I read all the Twilight books last year before the movie came out. I enjoyed them. Nice, easy reads :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so happy that Sarah Addison Allen has written a new book! "Garden Spells" was one of the most lovely books that I've ever read!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera" next.
question is what aren't i planning on reading? there's soooo much that i'd like to read. salman rusdie's stuff just to see what the fuss is about. disgrace by jm coetzee.
ReplyDeleteI did that like crazy last year. I ended up with a stack of 30 books, I kid you not. So I'm not allowing myself to buy anything unless I know I'm going to read it right away... because I still have so many to read! Last thing I read was Julie & Julia ;)
ReplyDeletei just finished "your hear belongs to me" by dean koontz. Getting ready to read "the gate house" by nelson demille.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem... about a month ago I FINALLY picked up Bridget Jones's Diary. Sadly, Im almost positive I bought it when I was in the 7th grade. And don't tell but my copy of the historian is sitting on my bookshelf getting dustier and dustier, patiently waiting in line to be read.
ReplyDeleteoh im addicted to book! i have a gigantic pile on my floor but i cant keep up. im curently reading james patterson's womens murder club, i highly recommend them! and of course, twilight, duh! haha but i need to check out those you listed, they sound great!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm reading "Jewel of Atlantis" by: Gena Showalter and "Very Valentine" by: Adriana Trigiani
ReplyDeleteI've run out of books to read presently.I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteoh, i hear you on this!!! i am MAD for books! they are everywhere in my home! i have so many stacked up and am telling myself NOT to buy any more until i read at least the 10 on my nightstand plus the 20 or so on my desk. but i have a gift card to amazon, a 4-page amazon wish list, and i am not sure how long i can hold out!
ReplyDeletesame here, yikes. I keep buying and buying books.
ReplyDeletei want to read i know why the caged bird sings, and daughter of fortune
I just finished Bill Bryson's hilarious travelogue "Neither here nor there" and it was just as side achingly great as all his other ones. Now it's time for "One flew over the cuckoo's nest", I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI will be done with After You by Julie Buxbaum within the hour (so good!). I spent over $100 on 14 books (bargain section!!) in Barnes & Noble last week, so I've got a few to dive into after this!
ReplyDeleteExtremely Loud and Incredibly Close. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI always have more books to read than time, and I always own dozens I haven't had a chance to read yet.
i am currently reading Eclipse (Twilight)
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring Day for yesterday.
ReplyDeleteno, I think I am insane. I've read a lot of books but I always forget what the name of the book or the name of the author.
Weird thing is that I'll remember whats in it... or rather details around it. lol.
Current book: AS Media Studies (It's a textbook; I'm writing a test on Thurs 10th)
I'm reading Shantaram by David Gregory Roberts. Highly highly recommended!
