what are you reading these days?

[littleblackcat]

This is such a great thread. I am always looking for new authors!

My favorite authors include Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson and Lillain Jackson Braun. I am currently reading a book by an author I just discovered, Tess Gerritson. She writes medical thrillers, very good so far.

Recently finished The Elder Gods by David and Leigh Eddings.

And now I've started Galileo's Daughter.

I've just finished "The Apprentice", so I had to make a trip to the book store last night for a few more books. I started "Black Water" last night.

Mags, I have Galileo's Daughter in my to read soon pile.

I did read a little bit of it, it's good. It's a shame that none of Galileo's letters to his daughter survived, the nuns burned them after her death, since he at the time was excommunicated.

Dear friends

I am reading this book called The Magic Of Thinking Big. I've never been interested in motivational books before but last year I just started and have been reading one per month. Since then I now perceive the world with different eyes and a clearer mind. I recommend these books because they may help you like they have helped. I also enjoy reading fiction and mystery, I read a variety of books. Thankyou for your time and have a great day.

Sorry!

But if the shoe fits......

I just read my first "cat" book! For some reason even though I love animals and love to read, I've never had an urge to combine the two. A lady that I volunteer with lent me The Cat Who Went to Paris and I finished it the other afternoon and thought it was so cute that I can't wait to read the next two by the same author!

I am also reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon.

 

[kidsncats]

Just finished Mystic River (creepy book that) and Eragon which was actually very very good. Presently reading Moonlight Cafe by Laurell K Hamilton for the millionth time.
