Working my way through 11/22/63 by Stephen King right now. It's very enjoyable so far, but I happen to be a King fan (even though this is the first full-length, non Dark Tower novel of his I've read). I'm a little over a third of the way through the book, but it seems like I'm farther than that in the story, so I'm preparing myself for some twists.
I really loved reading King's 11/22/63.  Right now I'm finishing up Aubrie Dionne's Tundra 37. It's an awesome science fiction romance novel. |

I just finished The Golden Sky by EC Stilson, a non-fiction memoir, and Broods of Fenrir by Coral Moore, a horror/thriller. Both were excellent, although don't expect to make it through that first one with dry eyes. |

 It's actually pretty good so far. I think I suffer from ADHD and get bored if things go to slow, but this one moves well most of the time. I'd probably give it a 4. Definitely YA, which is primarily what I read! |

Definitely YA, which is primarily what I read! That's a really beautiful cover! I'm finally reading the Game of Thrones series... It's amazing, but I can't believe that I still have to wait to know what happens after this book (Dance with Dragons). It's a good opportunity to work on being patient! |

Or to start forgetting the intricate details of the plot in the interim...Though I do absolutely love Song of Ice and Fire, I did find I had to refresh myself on some details when Dance with Dragons came out. |

I'm reading quite a few: The Night Circus, Sherlock Holmes, Jane Eyre, and the proof of my own book (to be reviewed for amazon print).
I think there may be others too. I need to stop buying books. >_<

Recently finished Girl of Fire and Thorns, How did you like this one? The concept looks really interesting. |

Roseanna by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo
Halfway through, and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. The books were recommended by another KB'er, and have great reviews online, but as of yet I've read nothing to really distinguish it from a mass of other average crime fiction. That it was clearly written in another language doesn't help.

Finally got around to reading the Millenium series by Stieg Larsson...enjoying it so far. I've finished the first two. I thought the first was the better of the two; I thought the second one seemed to have too many different points of view going on and also made Lisbeth a little too much of a superwoman...but I still enjoyed it.

Also just finished 11/22/63 and loved it. Now reading "I'll be Seeing you" by Mary Higgins Clark (good so far).

Girl of Fire and Thorns was a 4-star read for me, which is to say that I liked it a lot. The pacing felt a tad uneven to me, but the majority of the book (namely Part 2, out of three parts) was nearly perfect. Overall: great characters, compelling ideas, none of the typical YA tropes, and strong writing and world-building. The "mythology" was great, too, although part of me thought it could have distinguished itself more from basic Christian ideology. (Maybe that will come later in the series.) |

I am reading The Glass of Time by Michael Cox.  It is much better than The Meaning of Night. The main reason is probably the main protagonist who the reader can sympathize with (unlike in the previous book), but also the entire book feels to me more natural as a historical fiction. In this book the author didn't feel compelled to demonstrate, sometimes tediously, his knowledge of Victoriana at the cost of story telling. The story is well-built and complex without being confusing. There is a mystery, and a beautiful old house, and the gardens, and all the dark stuff lurking under civilized manners. I like it a great deal and I'm sorry we won't have any more work by this author. |

Is that Neil Gaimon's Neverwhere? I loved that book so much I went out and bought another one of his, that really disappointed me. I do hope you'll to read it again. It's such a bizarre but interesting world he creates. |

Excellent, thanks! It's going on my TBR List. I just finished HUSH MONEY by Susan Bischoff (3.5 stars), and I'm getting ready to start WITHER by Lauren DeStefano. |
