I just started Under the Cajun Moon, by Mindy Starns Clark. I'll see if I like it.

Interesting book choice, Lord Sesshoumaru! I hope you enjoy it. Have you read the earlier books in the series?
I'm reading "The Stars for a Light" by Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris. I couldn't decide what to read, and then this one jumped off the shelf. I've read it a few times, but I just love it!

I love RJG. I've pretty much read all of her books, I'm about to start rereading the Christy college years...Lord Sesshoumaru wrote:Surprise Endings by Robin Jones Gunn
Right now I'm rereading Christy by Catherine Marshall.

One of my all time favorite books, and TV series!
I am reading Mansfield Park, and will soon re-read the "Love Comes Softly" series
I got the last 4 movies for Christmas and want to kow just how much Landon Jr. messed up the story.
Look to the East by Maureen Lang. It is the first an a series or trilogy, set during WWI. I have not had much reading time the last week, but it is good so far.

Hollywood Nobody is my newest book. I love it. Has anybody else read it?

"Green" by Ted Dekker. I got it for Christmas, and its giving me a headache... sometimes I want to through it at the wall, other times I wish it was real life... gah. I also think it can be the beginning of the circle, the ending of the circle... and a stand alone.
I just finished "The Defining Moment" by Jonathan Alter. For History... but it was good!
I'm also reading "The Truth Seeker" by Dee Henderson for the third time...
Plus "The Time of My Life" by Patrick Swayze and Lisa Neimi (sp?). Its good too!!
And I think that's it... that would be a relief. All these books!

I am reading Sarah's Promise by Leisha Kelly. It is a very good book.

I'm continuing to press on through Les Miserables.
Tonight, though, I took a break from that and read Ella Enchanted immediately after watching the movie. You see, I first saw the movie before I read the book (some three or more years ago), and liked the movie at the time. When I read the book, I liked it too, but as I had seen the movie first, my thoughts were more favorable toward it than if the book had come first. Tonight, my sister and I watched the movie again, and it was less enjoyable than I thought it would be. So, I picked up the book again, and it was wonderful, and the movie doesn't do it justice at all, and my sympathies are now where they rightfully belong: with the book.
The end. I should probably sleep now, shouldn't I?

I couldn't agree with you more! I read the book first, was disappointed in the movie, and continue to love the book. That said, I bought the movie yesterday. But I couldn't resist - it was only $5! I like the movie in some ways, but not as a good representation of the book, since the changes aren't for the better, in my opinion. But it's still decent. Just not amazing, like the book is! 
(Reading until some crazy hour of the morning is totally fun! I love doing that when I can get away with it.)
I'm reading "The Face of Deceit" by Ramona Richards. It's okay so far, but I've only read the first couple chapters, so I'm hoping it will get better!

I bought two new books today: Unwind and The Hunger Games. Unwind's a favorite of mine, but I've never read The Hunger Games, so that should be interesting.

The Blue Enchantress by M.L Tyndall. It is the second book in her Charles Towne Belles trilogy. I finished Look to the East this afternoon, it was excellent. The only downside is that I have to wait until this summer to find out what happens next.

A Dangerous Path by Erin Hunter. It's the fifth book in the Warriors series, and the series is only worth rereading by the twelfth (sp?) book, Sunset. After that it's pretty much downhill.

I just finished the entire Kidsboro series. I'd have to say that it was pretty good! Now I'm working on Annison's Risk and The Maze of Bones (from the 39 clues series).

I read The Chosen One today, which is about a girl who's part of a Fundamentalist polygamist sect. It was heart-wrenching to read at times, but the book turned out well.
It's pretty cool, actually.
I'm just starting "Ekaterina" by Susan Downs and Susan May Warren. It's the first book in their Heirs of Anton series. My church library has the first two of the four books in the series, which my sister read and really liked, so this year for Christmas I tracked down books three and four to give to her, so now we can read the whole series! Apparently they're all quite connected.
