[ladyheather69]

I have just read 3 books in the last month:

Bossypants by Tina Fey
Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner
and a Young Adult novel written by none other than my sister-in-law(Shameless Plug), Christina Mandelski,
called The Sweetest Thing.

I am one very proud sister-in-law!

[gh4chiefs]

I'm now about a third of the way through The Last Stand: Custer Sitting Bull, and the the Battle of the Little Bighorn by Nathaniel Philbrick. The title is self explanatory. I was inspired to read it by my visit last week to the Little Bighorn Battlefield.

 

[CaptainCanada]

Currently reading The Reluctant King: The Life and Reign of George VI, 1895-1952 by Sarah Bradford. This is George VI's most famous biography, published in the late 1980s, but it's been out of print for years until The King's Speech led to it being reissued (the cover even has a sticker saying "the full story behind The King's Speech).

 

[CaseNumber825]

I'm currently reading 'Come Down Into The Darkness' by Clare McNally
I've already read it a couple of times anyway, so I already know it's very good.

Just finished reading 'The Exorcist' by William Peter Blatty, which is an amazing book that I've read many times. Yet, I've never seen the film and I really want to, just to see how well Peter Blatty put his novel into a screenplay.
