I have just finished reading "The Queen's Fool" by Philippa Gregory , unfortunatelly I wasn't impressed by it, it wasn't bad either, it was ok.

Right now I am reading "Wideacre" by P. Gregory, and can't put it down, love it!

I didn't know Wally Lamb had another book out, I'll have to look for it!

I am thinking I need to check out both Chuck Palahniuk and Phillipa Gregory.

Currently I am re-reading The Road (bought a copy for my bro and picked it up again). I am supposed to be reading Persuasion (Jane Austen) for book club, but can't get into it.

Right, as soon as I'm released from the prison that is reading for uni essays, and on a summer break..prior to starting summer school, my project is something light and fluffy.

My partner bought 'Atlas Shrugged' for me - one of his favorites. So sweet. I did mention I'd like to read it someday.

Yep, light, fluffy relaxing....am I completely mad????

Half-way thru and don't know ifI like it or not. It's one of those "Eh" kinda books. No real opinion other than it killed some time.

Yes... I'm quoting myself.

I finally finished this book... and I can say... I'll never get those 3 weeks of my life back. What an absolutely horrible book. But I'm stubborn and had to finish it.

Now.. I'll be waiting for a day when I'm in a really bad mood, then I'm gonna stick a Book Crossing sticker on it and leave it for some unsuspecting stranger to wander by and think it's awesome that someone passed on a book for free.

I have now started "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". I bought it after I read a review in this thread about it (can't remember who posted about it). Hope it's good! I deserve "good".
