I just got done with Airhead by Meg Cabot and am so happy to know that there will be a sequel. I read her book "Queen of Babble" a few months ago and was shocked to hear that she is the author to the Princess Diaries series (I think the movies are cute). So, I have been picking up anything new that she has put out. This is more aimed towards teenage girls, but I think almost any female would enjoy this book.

Has anyone read "Here Be Dragons" or any other book by Sharon Kay Pennman? Great Books!

Yesterday I read The 6th Lamentation and it was a very good read.
Not sure what I will pick up for today...

I'm reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and finding it very interesting and rather enlightening!

With last nights Bee "crap"- I think I need a good read. Will be off soon to the local book store. I have to lose myself someway- reading seems a better alternative to seething in anger.

I have just picked up "The Almost Moon" by Alice Sebold (author of the Lovely Bones). So far, so good, but I yet to make it past the 2nd chapter. Hope to get some reading time in this week.

I've just started Exit Music by Ian Rankin. It is supposed to the be the last Inspector Rebus novel. I love these books ......... used to live in Edinburgh, Scotland and I know so many of the places in the books!

Small Favor by Jim Butcher. It's the latest Dresden File book and I'm really loving it. The storyline is way too convoluted for me to explain (I'm barely keeping track of it myself) but it's so much fun.

Karen, I read the first two in that series so far. I like them!

Right now I'm reading To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. An historian goes back to Victorian England to do some research and saves a cat from drowning in the Thames, but then she accidentally brings the cat back to the present (a first! all that's supposed to be able to be transported is the air in your lungs or a bit of dirt on your clothing). To fix possible incongruities, the cat has to be returned asap, but now a comedy of errors has caused multiple incongruities that must be fixed or history will be forever changed.

Lori, I think I'd like to read that! Man, it is taking forever to read because of the little ones. But with school started, I may be able to catch up and start new books. I love reading and miss it!

I just logged on to our library website here in Toronto and requested this one! It sounds like a rather good read indeed!
