I'm currently reading Rosalind by Stephen Paden. I'm halfway through, it started off good but now I'm having mixed emotions about it. I'm hoping it gets better.

I have recently started Casino Royale by Ian Fleming, which is the first James Bond novel, written in 1953.

I haven't read James Bond since I was in my early teens, and I think I will value it differently now. One thing for sure, Fleming's novels are way better than the movies!!!

I'm reading a few books right now, but I recently started Inferno by Dan Brown. About 50 pages in, and not sure what I think of it just yet. I remember liking the The Da Vinvi Code, but we'll see about this one.

I'm reading the fist Game Of Thrones book right now. Because I've been so busy the last couple of months it's taking me a really long time to get through but i'm really enjoying it all the same.

I finished The Invasion of the Tearling last night. I don't want to post spoilers but the last book in the trilogy was pretty disappointing. The rest of the series is worth reading, if the author had a better resolution I would highly recommend all three.

Also, An Unquiet Mind is pretty fantastic. I recently finished that one, and if you enjoy biographies I definitely recommend it.

I am just finishing up Auschwitz by Laurence Rees. If you like history and the holocaust, this is a very informative book. Not an easy read though. Last night I wrapped up "The Obsession" by Nora Roberts. It was a good story written by one of my favorite authors. I have read it before. I try to keep a few different books with different genres going at a time. It keeps things interesting :)

I just finished reading Stephen King's Bag of Bones. I loved this book as it was a bit different from most of his books, still spooky but not terrifying. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who likes paranormal stuff.

Right now I am reading The Wind up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. It is a very long book but it has a certain air of mystery that keeps you reading. The book is a bit all over the place, but in a very intriguing way. I find the main character very relatable, and I'd say it is a great read and I would recommend it to someone looking for something different, weird, and maybe a little creepy.

Today I started The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Expury. Very charming - I should finish it tomorrow. :D

Meanwhile, I am still plugging along with The Enchanted Wanderer and other stories by Nikolai Leskov, a collection of 17 Russian tales from the 19th century. Enjoyable, but slow reading.

I'm currently reading My Sister's Keeper. I'd been avoiding it for a long time because I saw the movie, but I've been pleasantly surprised! My next read will probably be Bad Moon Rising.
