I'm still reading A Storm of Swords-- I'm so slow lately! I really need to step it up because I have so many galleys and book club books to read.
I'm listening to Blue Dahlia by Nora Roberts and am enjoying it a lot, probably more than any of the Nora Roberts audiobooks I've listened to since the Bride Quartet.
I am re-reading Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson - it's the 13th book in the Wheel of Time series we've discussed here and the 14th (and last) book came out last week, so I want to get to it and find out how everything wraps up.
I am also reading The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver and am disappointed. I really like a lot of her other books, but this one just isn't doing it for me.
Swept Off Her Feet by Hester Browne. Her books are always fun, happy reads. I just got a notice that whoever had Reached, the last in the Ally Condie series, finally returned it, so I'm going to pick that up before I get DD from preschool. I was first on the list, but there was only one copy and it was almost two weeks overdue.

I'm still plugging along on 11/22/63. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Just can't carve out significant reading time these days. I may have to rethink my 2013 reading goal. I want to finish it up this weekend so I can start A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown.
I'm still on The Paris Wife, and it's still just making me want to visit Europe. I'm excited though because To Marry an English Lord is waiting for me at the library.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. Mark Twain

I read The Selection this week - good lord. They should have called it The Insipid. And why does every YA book have to be a series? It's even more annoying when, like this book, there's absolutely nothing original about the storyline, sigh.

I finished The Light Between Oceans this week. It was good, though kind of lost steam at the end. I needed something light after that, so now I'm reading Rob Lowe's autobiography, Stories I Only Tell My Friends.
Hi everyone! I'm new to all of this... Figured I would check out the book recommendations. I'm currently reading Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult. Liking it so far.... Typical mental ethical battles, but easy enough to get through.
I just finished The Tudors: The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty by G.J. Meyer, which was great. Now I'm starting The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory.

Finally back to a semi-routine and working on finishing the books I started on my vacation. I'm tackling The Woman Who Died A Lot first then moving on to finish Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
It seems like I'm slogging through both, but the truth is I was busy from the moment I woke up to when I got in bed for the entire month I was on vacation and just didn't have time to read more than a page, sometimes only a paragraph, in one sitting and that kind of choppy fits-and-starts reading bothers me. I much prefer to completely immerse myself in a book for at least 15 minutes at a stretch. I'm happy to be back to my quiet routine.
I'm just finishing up Fatal Justice which is book 2 of Marie Force's Fatal Series. I've read her McCarthy of Gansett Island series and loved it and thought I'd try another of her series and now I'm hooked on it.

This week I read Sultry with a Twist by Macy Beckett and Darker after Midnight by Lara Adrian. I think I am going to start The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan for an easy read.
