What's wrong with this thread for current reading discussions?
It has, after all, got a bit of precedence (3.5+ years!) over this one.... Last edited by pdurrant; 01-05-2011 at 10:32 AM. Reason: whoops - it's 2011 now, isn't it? 3.5+ years, not 2.5+! |

I'm just starting Boomerang by Alan Hutcheson. The author is a member here and the book has great reviews at Amazon. Anyone read it yet? I only read a couple of pages before I fell asleep last night. I'll probably have to reread them tonight because I can't remember anything.
I have quite a few other books in progess that I can't get into and likely will never finish. Here are a couple of them: Raising Jake by Charlie Carillo. It has really good reviews but I am halfway through and just can't get into it A Simple Amish Christmas by Vannetta Chapman. Once again, it got really good reviews. I read lots of Amish books and I expect them to be somewhat lame but this one is super lame. I read these books specifically to mellow my mind but this one is numbing my mind. Thankfully, I got both of these books while they were on free promo. If I had paid for them I would feel an obligation to finish. If anyone has read either one and they get better in the second half, please let me know. |

I'm currently reading The Lion's Game by Nelson DeMille.
It's rather boring to me. I'm only reading it because my husband made a big stink about my reading habits (or rather the fact that I didn't want to read this book & he enjoyed it). It's almost 1000 pages and every single one of them is painful. I've been at 770 for a few days now and just can't seem to push forward. Let me list my (major)issues:

On the other thread, I see that DixieGal has read The Perfect Woman.
Other than it being a book in a series, what are your thoughts on it? Anyone else? It's was a freebie that I also picked up and wondering if I should bother with it. |

To be honest, my "official" review on the group thread is a reminder for myself. With the overabundance of good books, I find that I no longer re-read and forget which story goes with which title.

I'm reading the Argeneau Vampire series. Pure fluff but nice, light reading.

Please don't post here. Things are still being sorted out. if we get the subforum, then these three threads can go away.
