I finished reading "Lisey's Story" by Stephen King, just a few days ago. It was really nice! It started off slow, but picked up rapidly leading you on Lisey's hunt for answers and 'the greatest bool'. A great mystery, horror, and fantasy wrapped into one book of goodness.

Recently Finished Winds of Fury, by Mercedes Lackey; The Beaded Moccasins: The Story of Mary Campbell, by Lynda Durrant
Currently Reading: The Looking Glass Wars, by Frank Beddor
Finally finished reading Winds of Fury - an awesome end to an awesome series, and finally started The Looking Glass Wars! Seriously, it's an awesome book. I was hooked by the end of the prologue (about three pages), and, though I started it this morning, I'm already on page 173 out of 358! *hugs the book and adds it to her favorites*

I just finished Eragon by Christopher Paolini, and I wish I hadn't *gags*. I also checked out Cell by Stephen King, but it got really boring really fast. I read it all the way to the end, though, which was fascinating. I'm hoping to pick up some more books on my next expedition to the library... of course. Right now I'm re-reading Memoirs of a Geisha, which is way better than the movie version.

I finished The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris last night. I can say with honesty that I did like the movie better than the book. Yes, yes, throw sharp objects at me now if you will. The sessions that Clarice has with Dr. Lecter are the most interesting prose in the novel, in my opinion. They're probably the only reason that the book is worth reading too.
Now I'm moving on to finish Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I left it half finished last time I picked up her book. I like the messages that she delivers in her autobiography, but I don't really like how she constructs her prose. Once I finish this I will work on completing F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise before it is due back to the library.

I have recently finished reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini which my boyfriend suggested. It was such an amazing book that I bought it and the second one (haven't read the second one yet). I am currently reading Highland Rogue by Casey Stuart and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Huck Finn goes a bit slow for my liking but Highland Rogue is a great book and if you like reading romance novels you should give it a try.

Recently Finished: The Looking Glass Wars, by Frank Beddor
Currently Reading: Teetoncey, by Theodore Taylor
The Looking Glass Wars was an awesome, awesome book, though I did feel that it was a little rushed for some reason. I can't put my finger on why; it just seemed like the author could have expanded a bit more, or something.
I started Teetoncey this morning, and I'm already up to 159 out of 208. I discovered (by looking at the cover) that it's book one in a trilogy, so I hope I'll be able to find the other two books... It's a great book, though.

I finished a lot of book I've either needed to or been meaning to since I had long plane trips to do it on.
I finished,
Party Princess (7th Princess Diaries book) by Meg Cabot
Princess on the Brink (8th) by Meg Cabot
New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
Now I'm planning on starting Devil Wears Prada because my friend left it at my house and told me I had to read it.

Gravewoe I finished reading "Lisey's Story" by Stephen King, just a few days ago. It was really nice! It started off slow, but picked up rapidly leading you on Lisey's hunt for answers and 'the greatest bool'. A great mystery, horror, and fantasy wrapped into one book of goodness. I'm reading it right now, and it does pick up slowly. When does it get to the action?

Recently Finished: Teetoncey, by Theodore Taylor
Currently Reading: Webmage, by Kelly McCullough; The Target, by Catherine Coulter
Teetoncey was awesome, even though I still haven't found the other two books. I'm going to have to request them from a library, probably.
Webmage is interesting but, well, it's not really holding my attention well enough right now (though I blame that on a short attention span and not enough action in the first chapter of the book). I do plan to get back to that, though, after I finish the Coulter books that I have. 3nodding
The Target is awesome. It's been action-packed since page 6 (though still filled with foreshadowing up 'till that), and I'm loving it. I have a bunch of other books by Coulter as well, and I can't wait to start on them, even though I'm reading them out of order. ninja

I finished The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama a few days ago. I really enjoyed it. What begins as a story of physical healing transcends to health of more than just the body for all the characters involved. Ms. Tsukiyama's writing style appeals to me as well. It simply paints a lovely picture with words, not complicated but not so basic that I feel I am reading a children's title. I was somewhat surprised that the author included such an emphasis on the Nanking massacre, but then it shouldn't shock me since she is half Chinese herself. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to read books about people. I cannot wait to start reading more novels by this author.
Now I am currently reading The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography by Sidney Poitier.

I'm currently reading The Cry of Icemark by Stuart Hill and love it 3nodding I'm about halfway through the book and so far it is exciting. Some parts are difficult to understand unless you know a lot about war terms and other parts are a bit boring, but if you trudge through it, it ends up being totally worth it 3nodding

Just finished reading The Golem's eye by Stroud...not quite as interesting as the very first book The Amulet of Samarkand i think...but I like the plot development and the main character's slow but steady moral degeneration...
I also just finished Pride and Prejudice- school required. It's actually interesting, if you ignore the language and diction. Good read.
My nest book, hopefully will be the Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri.
