This is what I love about these forums. Not only are we all readers, but some of us are OBSESSED readers. I've never hung out with people (besides myself and my daughter) who have two or three books going at once, as well as plans of "what comes next" before we've even finished the first of the three books we have in hand!  For what it's worth, I'm reading:  I will be reading:  And I just finished reading:  |

I am still reading Wolf Hall: A Novel But I'm up to 53% now. . .it's a very long book -- over 13,000 locations. . . . .very well written though, and enjoyable to read so far. . .an interesting point of view to the whole Henry VII divorcing Catherine to marry Anne Boleyn thing. . . . .mostly from Thomas Cromwell's point of view. . . . |

Just finished reading The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, it was a very nice tale, I enjoyed it.  Now I'm reading Cold Comfort Farm for the Book Game. So far it's very funny and enjoyable, talk about a strong female protagonist!  |

I'm reading The Jade Owl by Ed Patterson. I bought this awhile ago and postponed reading it until I had some time because the book is 553 pages, and I didn't know how that would work on a Kindle. But I'm happy to say, I'm flying through the book. The author's style and pacing is such that I'm reading the story at a pretty quick pace - well, quick for me, anyway. Actually, I'm glad I bought it for Kindle because I just came back from traveling and it was much easier to carry on the plane than a 553 print book would be!  |

Currently reading:  by Karin Slaughter. It's a little bit intense and dark. Gory details on this murder might keep me from reading any more of her books. Next up: Not sure. I have  but wondered if I should wait and read the first in the series ( The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo). Does it make a difference if you read them out of order? Or should I just wait for the first book to come in and start with that? I have plenty of others to choose from in the meantime! Edited this because I just learned how to insert clickable images. I'm catching on slowly! Christine

Christine You can definetly read "Fire" before "Dragon Tattoo" Quite frankly while I liked DT I had to push myself just a bit to finish it, all of the details from it are neatly wrapped up as back story in Fire, and I had no trouble getting through Fire, it grabbed me in a way that the first book didnt. |

I'm currently reading The Hunger Games trilogy, then Tom Clancy's Dead or alive, then possibly The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's nest, The Stand will get at least a partial re-read, and if the next book in the "The Passage" Trilogy is out this year that will immediatly vault to the top of my pile.
I also have a copy of The mental Floss History of the United States, though I doubt I'll read it cover to cover, I can't think of any non fiction book i've read from start to finish non fiction for me is just a huntand peck sort of thing.

Just started reading Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue.
I LOVED Room. Check out Donoghue's website, where you can take part in a virtual tour of Jack's room. http://www.roomthebook.com/ |

For example, without reading "Dragon Tattoo" first you won't understand why in "Played with Fire" Salander refuses to speak to Blomkvist until the last scene of the book. The "why" isn't covered in the movie version of "Dragon Tattoo" either. |

I am currently reading "Divorced, Desperate and Deceived" by Christie Craig (some danger, romance and humor rolled into one) and next I think I will read "Room" by Emma Donaghue.

Thanks. That's what I thought, too. I'll wait. The library waiting list isn't too long for it. I still haven't finished my current book, so I will take my time and read the series in order. Christine |
