I finished Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan last week (found it from one of these threads) and liked it. Had some insomnia last night and wound up reading all of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks in one day. I was worried it might be too much science for me but I loved it. Now I need to find a new read...
My sister has been after me to read the Harry Potter series. One of my tutoring students is reading it for school, so I finally started the first book. So far not a fan....same as when I tried to watch the first movie. I fell asleep, it was so boring....hmm maybe I should've made this an FFFC lol
Also been reading the latest Nicholad Sparks novel....and lots of books related to teaching ESL students (for grad school but I'm a nerd so I actually enjoy them).

*Still* working on Interview with the Vampire. It's very good, but as I told my coworker this morning, "it's got a lot of words in it." (I'm having one of those days )
Next on the list is either If I Stay or The Pact. There's one I meant to add to my Goodreads, but now I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
I'm about halfway through Miss. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (borrowed from a friend). Not bad, but not at all what I expected based on the cover art. I guess if I would have looked it up and learned it's Amazon's number 1 best seller in the Young Adult/Teen Time Travel genre I'd have known what I was in for, lol.

Currently reading The Retribution of Mara Dyer. I feel bad because it's my friend's series and so far this is the least favorite of the trilogy. And we both expected it to be my most favorite.

I posted about this book a while back and have yet to finish it (maybe I should spend less time on the internet). You've inspired me to get back to it this weekend! Have you read any of her other books? I've read a few and they are all wonderful.

Huh, I never would have thought it YA until you said that... But I guess it is. I liked it and the sequel! I'm reading The Golem and The Jinni by Helene Wecker and enjoying it! I have lots of samples on my kindle to read. The goal is to read as much as possible before baby arrives!

Uh, I'm reading the Bradley Method book right now. I mean, I'm totally missing reading fun fiction lately and all, but Bradley is a pretty entertaining dude, both good and bad.
