So, what are you reading? (2011 edition)

[mistyd107]

Yes, please do tell us.  It's been on my TBR for months.

Just finished Silent Night by Donna Ball, a great Christmas cozy.  Now reading The Christmas Dog, which is better than I expected.

Will be glad to let you Know about Mill River.  With the holidays and a nasty cold/sinus thing I am getting a later start on it that I wanted but read a couple pgs tonight and it has my attention already...hoping to really delve into it tomorrow

Currently reading On the Island, by Tracey Garvis-Graves:



Sparse prose, but a page-turning read with some underlying tensions that build throughout.

[Bleekness]

"The Kult"  by Shaun Jeffery

And

"Best Served Cold" by Joe Abercrombie

[acellis]

I'm re-reading I Am Legend, by Richard Matheson. This is probably the fifth time I've read it in my life.

A fantastic read.

Link to the eBook version is:

Just finished Talli Rolland's "Build a Man" (impressive Chick-lit) and started Susan Hill's "The Woman in Black."
My son had to read this for school and it sparked a memory that I read the book ages ago and really enjoyed it. Thought i'd give it a second read.

[Kristan Hoffman]

Finished Wither, which was pretty good, and started Glory in Death (#2 in the series) by JD Robb.

[Nancy Beck]

Lindsey Buroker's The Emperor's Edge, the first novel in that series.



I'm reading that in between my obsession  of reading the Retrieval Artist novels by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.

[Grace Elliot]

Just finished the Woman in Black, now about 25 % into "There Your Heart Will Also Be" by Felicia Rogers.

I am currently reading Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley:

http://www.amazon.com/Winter-Sea-ebook/dp/B004DCB32K/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1325112433&sr=1-1

This book came highly recommended by a friend. So far, so good.

EDITED to ASK: How did everyone get a picture to pop up instead of a link?

[drenee]

Winter Sea is one of the best books I read this year. 

When you use the link maker it gives you options of a link or a picture.  The picture link is down the right hand side of the page near the middle of the page. 
I hope that's what you're asking.

I just finished "The Vision" by Jen Nadol. It had a good premise (a modern teen is descended from one of the Fates of Greek mythology and has to figure out what to do when she sees people marked for death), but I found myself setting it down a lot and not really itching to finish it.

[Dara England]

I'm about halfway through Game of Thrones and still waiting for my favorite characters to die. I've been warned they will eventually, so I'm trying not to get too attached to anybody. The reviews also mentioned a disturbing amount of violence but guess I either haven't gotten to that point yet or I'm not easily disturbed. 

[oliewankanobe]

You guys sold a bunch of books on this thread!  LOL

Are you asking how to insert an image in your reply in order to show the cover for the book you're reading?  The way I do it: Go to Amazon.com to the book you want to showcase and right click on the image of the book and a window will pop up.  Scroll down to view image info and click on that, another window will open with the URL for the image.  Copy that, click on the image button next to the Between the Insert Flash button and URL link (on your reply window) and past ethe image between the tags .  I hope this helps.  If someone has a easier way to insert a book cover in a reply to a post, I don't know it.

Here on KindleBoards scroll to the top of the page.  On the left-hand side on top you will see a link that says "link-maker."  Click on that.  There you can type in the title of the book you wish to create a link to, choose it and that will create a photo link (also a text link if you want.)

Yep, I was doing the same thing.  Trying not to get attached, but it's impossible!  I am terrified of the event which has the initials R.W. in one of the later books...

Be afraid.  Be very afraid. 


I am jealous of those of you reading AGOT for the first time.

I've been looking for something to read and that one is on my Kindle. I'll give it a try :-)
