I'm reading Fudge Cupcake Murder by Joanne Fluke. I love a fun, cozy mystery.

I'm reading The Penny Tree by Holly Kennedy. It's about a woman having a hard time in life because of a divorce, etc. and someone posts an ad on the front page of the local paper, looking for the first woman he ever loved. (which of course is this woman in the story!) Very good.

Over the weekend I read "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon. LOVED it! I picked it up after reading a stellar review here by Marysafan and I'm sure glad I did.

When talking with Mary about it, she told me that she had read it on a recommendation from Seamonkey. So, thanks Sea for recommending it to Mary...who recommended it to us here...which led to me reading a really outstanding book!!

Lori, I read that a while back. It is really good. A very unusual way of telling a story.

I just finished reading The Year Of Fog by Michelle Richmond. It was about a lost child and what a woman does to remember. Really good book.

I loved that book too, Lori!

I'm reading The Gunseller by Hugh Laurie. I didn't even know he had written a book until I read it in this thread. Thank you to whoever mentioned it.

Mak, You're welcome! ;) Mind you, although I mentioned it here not that long ago, I also first heard about it here at the CH a while back.

regarding "the curious incident of the dog..." i ordered that from BN last week. should get it very soon. after i ordered it, i checked this thread and saw the "book list" and saw Sea and Yankee read it. saw Sea had it in "red". (i actually ordered it because of a RW blog i read)

i know it came out years ago but i missed it somehow. i checked online, after reading about the book....i knew i would love it and ordered it.

I just read an excellent book called The Ghost At The Table by Suzanne Berne. I highly recommend it. I really was suspecting the way things would turn out at all.

Rereading True Believer by Nicholas Sparks, cuz I just bought the sequel - At First Sight, and I wanted to refresh my memory before tackling the sequel.

I just read Little Pink Slips by Sally Koslow. It was a novel about a magazine editor who loses her magazine and her job really, to a loudmouth tv show host. It's a fictional account but the author used to be the editor of McCall's before it became Rosie. It was an interesting inside look into magazines. Good read.

I am now reading To My Dearest Friends by Patricia Volk. Two women open a safety deposit box of their recently deceased friend and find out something intriguing. Good so far.

Just finished The Lovely Bones. It was good, but to me it drug some and the whole part with her turning into the other girl....didn't sit well with me. The book could have done without that IMO.

Just started Alexander McCall Smith's BLUE SHOES AND HAPPINESS, last night. Next up is THE GOOD HUSBAND OF ZEBRA DRIVE, both are from his delightful series The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.

Kattatude, you can rarely go wrong with Nora Roberts. She's my fave author - especially her trilogies!

I just finished Obsession by Jonathan Kellerman. There were too many characters and I had to keep checking back to see how they could possibly fit into the plot (but they do). My favorite parts of the book were when he was talking about their new french bulldog puppy named Blanche.

I am in the middle of Ghostwalk by Rebecca Stott. It is a very well written mystery that takes place now but involves Isaac Newton. Next up is Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I've wanted to read this one for quite a while.

Sasman, I loved Water For Elephants. You'll have to let me know what you think of it.

I just finished up The Land Of Mango Sunsets by Dorothea Benton Frank. I just love the way she writes about the low country. I feel like I'm there. I also finished Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella. Pure escapism!

I am on to reading Julia's Chocolates by Cathy Lamb now.

I got two giftcards for Borders for Mother's day so I've added big time to my TBR stack. I've counted around 65 books in it. Yikes!

I just finished reading a really fun chick lit book by Jane Moore titled love @ first site. Very cute book.

I am now reading The New Yorkers by Cathleen Schine. She also wrote The Love Letter and this reads a lot like it.
