What are you reading now?

[DiniB]

I just went through a large transcontinental move from San Francisco to New Jersey.  My Under This Broken Sky got packed and moved into storage by accident!   The books I brought with me:

The Angels Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafron

Girl with the Dragon Tatto by Steig Larsson

The House at Riverton (a buy 2 get one free B&N purchase) by Kate Morton

I just finished Hush, hush :-)    and need to get over there and post!  as far as what else am I reading? In the Heart of the Sea; the story of the whaleship Essex ,  by Nathaniel Philbrick.   Kinda in the middle of re-reading North and South by John Jakes.  My TBR pile has grown quite large since joining First Look!  

---

I *loved* In the Heart of the Sea! 

Then I had to follow that up with Moby-Dick, which turned out to be one of those I will read again every couple of years.  What a great book that is.

Right now I am reading The Crying Tree, and I've got Amigoland queued up after that.

I don't care for it much to be honest. Seems like they got rid of a lot of stuff.

Welcome to New Jersey! Must have been quite a change... from CA to NJ!

[DSaff]

I'm learning the new format and some things seem easier. This morning I couldn't sign in to the book clubs - it kept sending me to my account. There will be glitches along the way and I'm sure there are things that are still being ironed out. Hopefully the font will be a little larger, and I do miss seing the laurel and tag listing. Maybe those will come back.

Never mind. The envelope finally showed up, and I've signed up. : )

My sign in didn't show up for a couple of minutes this morning, I think they're still tweaking the new book clubs. (I hope)

Right now I'm reading the new YA First Look (it's been really hard to stay on schedule because I really like it)

Hush, Hush

And I'm just finishing:

All the Dead Voices (Ed Loy Series #4) 

And I'm trying to figure out the new format for the book clubs and my add product still isn't working. Uggg!!

I did, and after several times, it finally worked. Everything in that little box except the envelope was showing up. Thanks.

I was having a problem with it always saying sign in.  I kept trying and finally got my little envelope.  Boy this new stuff is hard.

[bettymac]

I just finished reading South of Broad by Pat Conroy...wonderful, as usual...am now reading Sand Shark by Margaret Maron...recently read The Last Child by John Hart...really gripping...

Hi EbonyAngel,

I know it's frustrating. It's good to see old friends here and guess what I brought another St. Louisian with me for this read.

How do I get a little oval picture under my name?

[ssizemore]

I am reading and enjoying The Day the Falls Stood Still, the current Barnes and Noble recommendation.  I also enjoyed The Shadow of the Wind and The Help.

Always looking for new ideas!

Hi,

to get picture go to My B&N and click on change avatar and they have a selection to choose from. If you're talking about your real picture I think that's just for B&N mediators and booksellers etc..

Hope that helped.

I am reading Chasing Fire, the sequel to the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. They are young adult books but they are really good. A friend suggested I read them.

I am also reading The Double Bind, by Bohjalian. I just finished Don Quixote by Cervantes and Brooklyn by Colm Toibin.

---

I loved The Double Bind - I've read all of Bohjalian's books.  Was also interested in Brooklyn by Toibin but haven't read that.  Let me know how you like it!

[babzilla41]

Oh and....got confirmed for The Postmistress!!  Woo hoo - can't wait!

I'm reading South Of Broad now. It took a good hundred pages  but now it is getting very interesting. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I'm glad I stuck with it.

I am having a lot of trouble signing into the book clubs period. In case anyone else is having this problem, I have found a work-around until it is fixed. When I click on "log in" for the book clubs, it always takes me to my account. When I try to load a discussion, it is an a visitor. BUT, if I click on "Reply" to a post, suddenly I am signed in and can navigate. I just wanted to share it for others with similar problems.

Thanks Donna, I've been having the same trouble.

Sorry about this. We're working on it.

I just finished reading "A Reliable Wife" by Robert Goolrick.   It was very well-written, although the story was not what I expected.  Lots of plot twists.

Hi Everyone,

  One of the things I love about the B&N book clubs is the book suggestions I find. So, in honor of that, I thought I would ask what everyone was reading now and what you might be planning to read while awaiting our new FL book. I am finishing up "The Help," and "Fearless" right now. I have so many on my TBR list that I haven't decided what is next yet. Maybe "The Poe Shadow" or something by Agatha Christie. What about you?

[DSaff]

I figured that, Paul. Thanks
