White Oleander was really overwhelming. I really couldn't put that book down. 5 stars for me!
I just started something completely different: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I've read two of his books in the past (The Ocean at the End of the Lane and The Graveyard Book) which were both extremely good! So I'm excited and already loving it even though his books are very strange. They just throw you into a different world.
The Doctor of Stalingrad is also very good. I'm very glad it's a rather long audio book!
East of Eden (amazing), The Prince of Los Cuyocos (amazing and hilarious), and Amor (solid so far).
Normally I do two books at once, one in English and one in Spanish. But East of Eden being so long, I really needed another book as I know East of Eden as long as it is, is going to take forever to finish.
Started new series set in the Rome of Nero—about a gladiator Leonidas (not his birth name) who wins his freedom from the ludus/arena and is taken into a sort of serfdom with a master he does not know—he is given a female slave Cassia as a scribe and told to earn a living…he takes jobs as a bodyguard but becomes involved in solving murders in the first two books…
The historical aspects seems accurate, the mysteries are not easy to solve and there is another mystery about the origin of Leodinas himself that underlays the other mysteries…
Written by Ashley Gardner who has other series…I am looking forward to the #3 in the series
Blood of the Gladiator #1 and A Gladiator’s Tale #2

My next book might be Where the Crawfish Sing since apparently it is coming out as a movie. On Amazon he has widely diverse reviews. Anyone here read it and either liked or hated it?

People either seem to love it or hate it. I thought it was okay.
Baldacci is a great suspense novelist. I've read his Atlee Pine series, Amos Decker (Memory Man) series, and am now on the last book of his John Puller series. He's got a couple of others series, as well as stand alones.

I feel like this book has two distinct components that are woven together. I loved the part about Kya coming of age in the swamps and learning to embrace the natural world around her. I hated the teen romance.
