I started reading a book on my downtime at work at the bookstore... it was on display near the register so i picked it up... kind of a kids book but find it really good...
it is called MAGYK ... book one of 5 (6 on the way) along the line of a Harry Potter thing...
and right before that i was reading Collateral Damage by Fern Michaels (part of the sisterhood series) and almost finished with that too...
So, what are you reading?

I'm reading Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi. It's really good so far. Just finished Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman which was good too.

I'm re-reading the last HP book right now. Thinking I may start from book 1 again - I just love those kids!

It's Kind of a Funny Story -- Ned Vizzini also reading on several of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. I pick them up whenever I see them in a used bookstore and am very slowly working my way through all 30 something books!
I just got done reading Blameless...the third in the Alexia Tarabotti series by Gail Carriger the series is really cool. It's like Jane Austen meets steampunk meets sci-fi. I finished the first three and now I have to wait for Book 4 to come out this summer.

I'm actually not reading anything at the moment. We picked THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN by Kate Morton for next month's Book Club selection so will be getting that soon. I'm thinking about reading THE LADY ELIZABETH by Alison Weir next.

I just finished reading the Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Not sure what I'll read next, but I do have plenty of classics loaded on my Kindle!

I am actually reading a Dan Brown book - The Lost Symbol. I think it's the newest book of his but is from 2009. Picked it up at the library when I "rejoined" this week. I am enjoying it so far, as I have all his books. Last month I read The Associate by John Grisham. Again, very good, if you are a Grisham fan, as I am. Have read them all.

Officially started THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN by Kate Morton. Loving it so far. I have discovered you have to keep track of the location and years on each chapter as it is hopping around time across the stories of a grandmother and her granddaughter.

Went to the library tonight to do early voting (some people want to recall the county mayor, so it was just one question). Anyhow, we hung out a little and I found two of the newer Alex Cross books by James Patterson, I love the series. I've read them all several times (best in order). The newer books have them all listed. Alex cross is the main character, he's a detective from DC. I've been reading them since I was in middle school!
