This is the What Are You Reading thread. Quite a few of us are avid readers, myself included. So why not have a thread where we can share the books we're currently reading?
Now I tend to read about 3 or 4 books at a time, though I'll stay focused in mainly one. Currently, I am elbow deep in Wicked by Gregory Maguire. (Finally! LoL)
What are you guys reading? ~Violet

Now I am onto The Witch of Cologne by Tobsha Learner.

Ok, so I got half way through The Witch of Cologne, then moved on to other books. Sherri took it to her mom who is recovering from hip replacement surgery. In the interum, I've read Dime Store Magic by Kelly Armstrong and The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchet. Now I am reading Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury.

Finished Something Wicked awhile back and moved onto The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide. It's a compilation of all the books relating to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm about 2/3 the way through. I am also re-reading Summoning Spirits by Konstantinos. And just started Ghost Hunting by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of TAPS. I'm about 3/4 done it it. I KNOW I'm not the only one reading here, so, who else is reading a good book? Whatcha reading? Huh? Huh?? I wanna know!

I'm reading James Patterson's book Cat and Mouse, quite a good read. I like how he goes from first person view with Alex to third person view with the others.

Finished up the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide last week, and mostly vegged out as far as reading goes. But I finally picked up and dove into Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. I'm only 50 or so pages in, literally JUST started it. But I'm hooked. I loved his 20th Century Ghosts, a compliation of short stories. He's definitely a talented writer.
Heart Shaped Box is about a washed up rock star who has a collection of macabre things. A hanged man's noose, a confession from a witch burned at the stake, a trepanned skull, a snuff film...just odd, ODD things. In the book, he buys a ghost off the internet. Really. A man's suit that is supposed to be haunted.
Already, strange things are happening and I haven't even hit the climax of the story. S'good book.

Kathy Reichs is another author whose books I enjoy. The television series Bones is based on the characters she created. I'm reading a book called Bare Bones from her.

What am I reading...Oh...a lot lately, haha. I just finished with Say You Love Me by someone or other...I believe it was an author who lives on this planet or something About a woman who sells herself to a whore house in order to keep her family from losing everything, and she is bought by this sweet, handsome rich dude. Good book, if not a little short. I'm currently in the middle of....The Golden Compass, my fifth reading of Harry Potter 7, and The Crimes That Haunt Us. I really should ponder finishing one of these books sometime eventually, haha.

I hated the movie, ugh, rant might come later. BUT I have been reading George R.R. Martin, and so far have been enjoying it.
