The new Faye Kellerman

Don't miss Company Man by Joseph Finder. A real page-turner and very relevant considering China's recent bid for Unocal. This is fiction at it's best.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!

Janet from NJ
I am looking forward to reading The Rescue Artist: A True Story of Art Thieves and the Hunt for a Missing Masterpiece by Ed Dolnick. This is a true story of the 1994 theft and recovery of Munch's painting "The Scream."

Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks

[email protected]
I hope to read The Historian. My understanding is that it is very much like The Da Vinci Code and I did like Steve Berry's The Third Secret. My favorite type of book is mystery that makes you think outside of the square.

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner. Somehow, I managed to get through school without ever reading it, so I'm going to tag along with Oprah's Book Club for a fun read (I hope).

John Irving's new one, Until I Find You

[email protected]
Until I Find You by John Irving. It's the only book this year I'm anticipating with more interest than Harry Potter 6. Irving takes even longer than Rowling between novels, but the result is always, always worth the wait.

Black Angel by John Connolly

John Twelve Hawks's The Traveler is the book I am most looking forward to reading.

I have been reading Donald Westlake off and on for a few years. He has a new book out called Money for Nothing. The premise is, someone receives $1,000 a month for 12 months. He has no idea who is sending this money to him, but he is glad to get it and really looks forward to the beginning of each month. I like Westlake for the interesting story lines, and he writes with a nice reading "tempo." I'm looking forward to reading this book this summer!

I'm looking forward to reading Eleven On Top by Janet Evanovich. I think her Stephanie Plum books are a perfect summer read, laugh-out-loud funny with love and thrills.

I'm also looking forward to the newest Harry Potter book. The last one was the first for me to read to myself, not out loud to my kids sharing the job with my husband. I couldn't believe how much I had missed out on.

The Closers by Michael Connelly. He's the best. I'm also ready for a new Harry Bosch.

I am most looking forward to reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It is her first novel and it has been touted as a "must read." I love mysteries, especially with female leads. I am already on the waiting list at the library!!!!!

I'm going to re-read Jane Porter's The Frog Prince as I just loved it. Then I'm really looking forward to reading Lucy Monroe'sReady.

[email protected]
I am looking forward to reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The boys are hugely entertaining, well-written, and I can't put them down. I partially can't put them down because I will only buy two books and I will be fighting my 33-year-old son and 11-year-old granddaughter on who gets to read it first.

[email protected]
The book I am looking forward to reading this summer is Patricia Cornwell's book, Trace. I love her books and have read every one.

Until I Find You by John Irving

Diane from Frankfurt, Germany
I'm looking forward to reading the book I received for my birthday recently --- Baudolino by Umberto Eco. I've read other books by Eco (The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum) and while they can be challenging reads, I find they are ultimately extremely rewarding. The character of Baudolino was described to me as a medieval Forrest Gump; I loved Forrest Gump and I am very interested in the Middle Ages, so this should be just the right thing.

After Baudolino I plan to do some longed-after reading in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genre, more specifically something by Ursula LeGuin or Charles DeLint.

The book I am looking forward to reading the most is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling.

[email protected]
I hope to read Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. I've had a copy of the book since Christmas, but keep putting it off because it's so thick and there are so many other things I want to read. I'll have to make it a priority.

[email protected]
My list is quite long, but Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Princedefinitely tops the list!

[email protected]
Well I have several on the agenda that I will try to tackle outdoors in the yard on a comfy lawn chair on weekends.

The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism by Megan Marshall.

The Age of Conversation by Benedetta Craveri and Teresa Waugh (about women back in the French salon era).

Cicero: The Life and Times of Rome's Greatest Politician by Anthony Everitt (Cicero has just been quoted so many times in my reads, such as John Adams).

And I have thrown in A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby and our book group's choice of The Distant Land of My Father by Bo Caldwell.

So much for the beach reads!
