Lady Grace Mysteries by Patricia Finney. I like the unique way it labels each book. It's in a series and instead of going Book 1 Book 2 Book 3, it goes A B C. :)

I borrowed four new books at the library yesterday. The House of Silk, by Anthony Horowitz (you've probably read my rant on his latest, Moriarty) and three other Sherlock books by Laurie R. King. But I'm not going to read them until after my next Bible Quizzing meet in a few days. IT'S TORTURE.

I love that book. I read it in one night. I need to read the sequals sometime.

I'm actually having a hard time getting into it. (I've been on the 4th chapter for 1 month)

My sister said that she was disappointed in the 2nd one. :P

I also loved Goose Girl. Great book.

Eats, Shoots and Leaves. Great book for punctuation geeks who hate it when they see "BOOK'S FOR SALE" signs. :ugeek:

I just finished The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis for a book club I'm part of. Next is Do Hard Things, which I've already read, but it'll be good to go through it again.

Soooo...I'm actually reading a book #ForTheFirstTimeInForever I don't know if any of you have read "The Time Quintet" series, but they're really good...Like superly amazetastic. I read all four of the books, but for some reason I never read the last one (go figure =P) so I'm currently reading "An Acceptable Time" by Madeleine L'engle \:D/

I am reading Wolves of the Beyond, (by Kathryn Lasky) which is a sequel to Guardians of Ga'hoole. You might've seen the movie for it. Btw, the books are WAY better. ;)
