QOTD
What are you reading right now? If you're in between books, what are you hoping to read next?

Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
I'm reading A Christmas Carol for my book club, and have the option to read The Woman in Black for book club, too (since A Christmas Carol is pretty short). I'll probably get to The Woman in Black later this week.
I'm rereading That historical roman history mystery book series. I like it it has been a while since I've read it.
Sushi- Here's a list of the kindle books I can loan out. If you see anything you would like to read I'll share.

I am reading The Language of Bees by Laurie R. King. It's book 8 or 9 in a series with Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes as main characters. I've really enjoyed all of them.
I'm not sure what I'm going to read next. I have a billion options, but I'll probably do Brother Odd or a new book I got on Saturday called Mutants. It's about genetic variation and the human body.

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I'm reading Sisters by Danielle Steele. I picked it up for like $0.05 at a garage sale this summer. It's pretty good but sad.
ETA: Next I'll probably read The Help.
I'm reading The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, and I also just started The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian.
Next, I need to start reading Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros soon for book club next month.
Oh, and I also listen to the Sookie Stackhouse books at work when it's slow. I think I'm currently on #9.
I'm reading "If It Was Easy, They'd Call the Whole Damn Thing a Honeymoon". It's absolutely hilarious.
Some of the chapter titles:
Can we talk? Obviously not.
Sleep in heavenly peace, my ass.
Domestic bliss and other big fat lies.
He can't help it, he's a guy.
I'm reading The Help. It's been slow going but I'm enjoying it so far.
After this I plan to start reading some of the classics I've never read via my Kindle. I have a list of 100 classic must read books and I plan to read as many as possible during my lifetime. I've read a small handful of them but I'm embarrassed to admit how many and which ones I have not read.
I just finished The Hunger Games, looking to get the 2nd one here soon so I can keep going!
Also, I might read Breaking Dawn again before the midnight premiere next week
