So, what are you reading (2010)?

[Nathan Sugbury]

I've just finished reading the Kindle edition of The Resurrection of Deacon Shader by Derek Prior. I read the first edition last year and thoroughly enjoyed it for its wit, pace, pathos and intelligent (though lightly handled) exploration of human nature, belief and the conflicts that (both internally and externally) affect mortal lives. The Kindle version is well formatted and easy to read.

I found on re-reading the book on Kindle that a number of layers started to reveal themselves to me - things I had not noticed during my first read. This, I believe, is the great strength of this book - it can be read as a fast-paced gritty action-packed sword and sorcery tale or it can be considered and reflected upon. Its appeal is thus far-reaching and it is one of those gems that bears more fruit upon successive re-reads.

Thus far this is the best new fantasy I have discovered in the past few years - it is unashamedly original and mould-breaking; a welcome respite from the mass of formulaic tripe that often characterises the genre.

I've just started reading Kathryn Stockett's The Help.

I'm reading Jan Burke for the first time, and really enjoying this book!

I am reading Fire-Heart...  However I had to stop because my family was unhappy with me. I keep muttering and yelling at the Kindle.   He is gonna get her,  pay more attention.  He is evil I tell you.   PAY ATTENTION!     

 So I am also reading some romance book.  Can't remember the name but it is pretty good.   

The Elf Hunter series is gonna be the death of me.   It is so gripping I forget to eat and I am tired of drinking cold tea and coffee.     My mom keeps bringing me cups of coffee and I forgot to tell her I quit drinking it.   LOL   Oh well I will quit again when I am done with the third book in the series.

Keeping the holiday spirit going for a few more days, I decided to read this:



My friend Erastes gave it five stars and we tend to like the same books, so I am looking forward to this one.

EDIT: This was a short novella and I read it this afternoon. Absolutely fabulous! Historical fiction and lots of great detail. I loved it.

I had to choose the first book for 2010 for my bookclub and decided on this:



mainly because I got it for free when Oprah was giving it away. 

By the way, to the poster who is reading American Fuji - I loved that book!

I just started this (thanks, Geoffrey for reminding me of the title!):

[drenee]

I finished Pride and Prejudice on audiobook on my way to visit my son and daughter.  And I started Outlander on audiobook on my way home. 
I'm finishing up, thank goodness, the Virgin River series with the 6th, and I hope last, book of the series.  I think it's Temptation Ridge.

[Taborcarn]

I just finished my first Kindle book, The Girl who Played with Fire


I've now started on Mercury Falls.

[Aravis60]

I started this one today and so far am really enjoying it.
 
I was reading it during a break in my class and I was laughing out loud. I bet the other folks in my class thought that I was crazy.

[Rie142]

I started this one last night.  I am enjoying it very much.

[Lalaboobaby]

Started reading this.  Been loving the series.  It has started a bit slow.  I love the fighting scenes.

The way the cover is done up, you'd think I was reading a novelization of the movie "Alien", but this is "Voyage of the Space Beagle".  A classic from the Golden Age of Science Fiction, it is a series of adventures set on an exploratory starship.  One of the adventures is indeed very much like "Alien", enough so that the movie producers settled out of court in the copyright infringement lawsuit.  I recall watching "Alien" in the theater for the first time, and trying to remember how the starship crew defeated the monster in this story!  I first read it when I was in 10th grade, and it was a moldy oldie even then.  Still a good read on my Kindle!

[Elmore Hammes]

Boneshaker by Cherie Priest, a random pick up from my library's new release shelf:

[dnagirl]

My Life in France by Julia Child.  The great thing is, as I'm reading, my brain is hearing the words in her voice.

[prairiesky]

I am reading Swan Song and can't put it down.  I am reading it on Kindle.
 

[melissaj323]

 I'm reading and.

I'm reading The Agony Column by Earl Derr Biggers

It's priced well:  Free.    it's a sort of espionage murder mystery set at the start of WWI told by way of letters between a couple of folks in "the Agony Column" of the Daily Mail in London.

Finished Outlander for the first time. I decided to read it because of all the fans on here, and I'm very glad I did. It's nice to have the book club questions to go to as well.
After reading Outlander, I immediately ordered Dragonfly in Amber and finished that. So now I'm working on Voyager. I'm flying through them and am really enjoying them. Although, it's weird constantly reading my name in the books.
I actually find myself constantly wanting to reach for my K2 to see what happens next. It's causing me to be very unproductive with everything else.
