I'm reading two books. One is FOR THE SAKE OF ELENA by Elizabeth George, and I'm reading it because my best friend had recommended the series long ago. The other book I'm reading is TRUE SELVES by Mildred L. Brown, and I'm reading it because one of our customers (I work in an independent bookstore) bought it and it looked interesting.

Marta M.
I am reading SON OF NEPTUNE by Rick Riordan. I have been reading the Percy Jackson series for many years now. I read the first one every year to my fifth grade class. They love it and so do I.

MARRYING DAISY BELLAMY by Susan Wiggs. It's part of "The Lakeshore Chronicles" series. ?It's the latest book in my favorite series. I originally found out about it from the Susan Wiggs newsletter.

Merry
I am reading KILL ME IF YOU CAN by James Patterson and Marshall Karp. I found it on the "Coming Soon" list on your website and immediately put it on hold at the public library.

Adam
I'm reading A GAME OF THRONES by George R. R. Martin. Before I had heard that it was a popular TV show, I read a book review from Powell's Books. Sounded good so I picked it up and loved it. Now I gotta plow through all the rest of the books!

Phyllis
THE DOG WHO KNEW TOO MUCH by Spencer Quinn. I've enjoyed the other Chet and Bernie books and watched the author's site for the announcement that a new one would be published.

Sonia Z.

THE AFFAIR by Lee Child. I don't recall how I heard about the release date of THE AFFAIR (probably on Lee Child's web site) but I've been waiting impatiently for it for most of the summer. Chapter 45 was worth the wait!

Gail M.
DEEP DOWN TRUE by Juliette Fay Found out about it through Bookreporter

Two books: TURTLE MOON by Alice Hoffman and THE WEIRD SISTERS by Eleanor Brown. TURTLE MOON is my book club's selection, and I received THE WEIRD SISTERS as a pre-published book review.

Suzanne S.
HOW TO LOVE AN AMERICAN MAN a true story by Kristine Gasbarre. My son went to John Carrrol University with her and told me about this memoir that she wrote. I'm really enjoying her story and her style of writing. Her experiences mirror events that many of us have been through, so it's very relatable.

Levy S.
I am reading Orhan Pamuk's THE MUSEUM OF INNOCENCE. I read all Pamuk's work.

Kathy K.
I'm starting two books: John Le Carre's THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, (Spy Fiction) and Robert Baer's SEE NO EVIL, (Non Fiction). Both authors are somewhat new to me. I have known Le Carre's name for very long time, but have never read his books; mostly in the past I've read Robert Ludlum when I wanted spy fiction. Not sure how/where I learned of Le Carre originally, but lately I'm finding myself wanting reads with more "meat" to them rather than just my usual cozy mysteries. I had just recently finished reading Baer's THE COMPANY WE KEEP (non-fiction, husband/wife true spy story) which made me decide that this might be a good time to explore LeCarre and other authors (Tom Clancy, et al) who write spy/espionage fiction/thrillers. I'm not sure where I originally learned of Robert Baer's THE COMPANY WE KEEP --- was probably BookReporter.com, but could have also been a blurb from my local library, BookPage, something on Twitter, or someplace else. I looked in my LibraryThing notes, but didn't have anything there about where I heard about the book; usually I make a note someplace stating where I heard about the title.

John S.
NORTHWEST ANGLE by William Kent Krueger. Heard about it on your site this week. I have read all of his other novels and did not know this one was published.

Harriet I.
I am reading THE LACUNA, by Barbara Kingsolver. This is the first novel I have read by Ms. Kingsolver since THE POISONWOOD BIBLE. I heard about it while attending my book club's selection meeting this summer; it is one of our selections. It is wonderful to be reading a B. Kingsolver book again.

Heather F.
FATHERMOTHERGOD by Lucia Greenhouse. I heard about it in an online review.

Audrey
SIZZLING SIXTEEN by Janet Evanovich. It is newest one in the Stephanie Plum Series. Don't remember why I started the first one.

Joan B.
I am reading KASHMIR SHAWL by Rosie Thomas. I was on my library website and was checking out their "What's New in the Library" section and was immediately attracted to it.

I am reading A GATE AT THE STAIRS by Lorrie Moore I read a review of it in a local paper probalbly a year or so ago.

There is a story that keeps me turning the pages.

Lisa
FEAR AND MISS BETONY by Dorothy Bowers --- heard about it from one of the many e-newsletters I receive from indie bookstores.

Connie F.
I'm reading CONFETTI CONFIDENTIAL by Holly McQueen. It's a fun, chick-lit romp about a wedding planner "wanna-be" in the U.K. It's an adorable book chock-full of complex, yet hilarious, characters. I believe I heard about the book from a chick-lit club online. I search lots of publishers', authors', bookstores', libraries', etc. websites for books. I'm always looking for new books and that's why I love Bookreporter! I have also received ARCs and written reviews for publishers so remember me there!!! :-)

Kathryn
IMPERFECT STRANGERS by Stuart Woods. I got it at a charity used book sale a few weeks ago for $1, along with another of his, SANTA FE RULES, for 50 cents. I had read one of his books before, really enjoyed SANTA FE RULES (Ed Eagle #1) and now have almost finished IMPERFECT STRANGERS, a stand-alone book.

Kathryn M.
THE GHOST STORIES OF EDITH WHARTON by Edith Wharton. I found it on Amazon.com while searching for something with a halloween feel for our October book club. Excited to read it.

THE NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Morgenstern. This book has been hyped everywhere. I don't usually fall for that but this book has me very interested

Irene
Just finished FOLLOWING JOSH by Dave Norman which I read for Library Thing.

Julie S.
BONES by Jan Burke. Saw the book at a garage sale --- looked at the cover and read the back of the jacket. My kind of book --- chilling and thrilling.

Janice H.
TORTOISE SOUP by Jessica Speart. I read a reader's review in Word of Mouth on Bookreporter.com. Since I love the Nevada Barr series, which features a woman who works as a National Park Ranger, this series, which features a woman working as an agent in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sounded like one I would really enjoy, and so far (this is book two), I have.

Margaret L.
I am reading KINDRED SPIRITS by Sarah Strohmeyer. I found it in the library and it just sounded like a good story. It is; I am enjoying it very much.

Barbara
I am currently reading MAISIE DOBBS by Jacqueline Winspear. I belong to Goodreads.com and I check out what others are saying about new books that have come out. Maisie Dobbs is not a new book but on Goodreads you can follow people who post reviews on what they read and I usually get my inspiration that way. I also use The Bookreporter newsletter but even those featured books I check out on Goodreads.

Carol C.
PEARL OF CHINA by Anchee Minn. I read about it on The Book Reporter. Great book - couldn't put it down. Our book group is reading it in November and celebrating the 20th Anniversary by going to visit Pearl Buck's home in Perkasie, PA.

Bob W.
BLINK OF AN EYE by William S. Cohen. I heard about from the Amazon Vine program.

Kathy
THE WOMAN IN WHITE by Wilkie Collins. A friend had purchased 3 classics from the Barnes and Noble collection. I checked out the list of classics. I had always wanted to read this one. I found it available for download to my SONY e-reader for 99 cents! I am enjoying it very much. I am intrigued by the fact that it was published 100 years before I was born, but still seems very contemporary.

Debbie M.
THE FIFTH WOMAN by Henning Mankell. I picked this book up in an airport. Although I had not heard about this particular book from anyone, I am a fan of Henning Mankell. If you like thrillers, his books are wonderful. I also heard an interview with him on the BBC World Bookclub, which, by the way, you can use to download podcasts of interviews with authors from all around the world.

Patricia M.
I am currently reading THE SHOOTIST by Glendon Swarthout. I loved the movie and have been intending to read the book. It was out of print until recently, when I found it on Amazon. I am in a Western mode right now having just read TRUE GRIT and THE COLOR OF LIGHTNING.

Andrea
I'm reading CUTTING FOR STONE by Abraham Verghese right now. I think almost everyone I know has read it and told me it was great. Now my book group is reading it.

I am happily reading THE MOONFLOWER VINE by Jetta Carleton for my book club this month and have also been reading other books like THE OLD MAN AND THE BOY by Robert Chester Ruark and THE VOICE AT THE BACK DOOR by Elizabeth Spencer, which were published when I was a young child. They have been fascinating.

Sheila K.
RAISING FRANKIE by Maeve Binchy. I read about it somewhere but can't remember where. I follow her books carefully, as I am a big fan.

orchid7
I'm just finishing LADY OF THE ENGLISH by Elizabeth Chadwick. I won it off of a blog. A very good book. I'm passing it along to a friend on my book website.

Bobbie H.
STATE OF WONDER by Ann Patchett is what I am reading now. It has been on my "to read" list ever since I read the first description of the book. It is a very good book that takes believable characters on a journey through the jungles of the Amazon.

Phyllis P.
UNBROKEN by Laura Hillenbrand. It was recommended by some friends and my book club.

Tanya F.
HALF BROKE HORSES by Jeanette Walls. My book club loved her previous book so we picked her new book to read.

Ingrid S.
I'm reading ESCAPE by Barbara Delinsky right now. I won the book in a contest, but if I hadn't won the book I would have bought it because I like Delinsky's books. ESCAPE is not what I expected. It is a very slow read; it seems like nothing ever happens. I'm 3/4 done and every time I pick it up I want to quit reading. Very disappointed but I will finish it and hope I get a surprise at the end.

Wendy
I'm reading VISION IMPOSSIBLE by Victoria Laurie because I enjoyed the others in the series. I am also reading TIME WAS SOFT THERE by Jeremy Mercer because I was caught by the interesting cover and then became engrossed in the story.

Berna L.
I am reading several books: MOCKINGBIRD: A Portrait of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields, which I found out about on book TV; THE REAL GEORGE WASHINGTON by Jay A. Parry, which I found browsing at B&N; THE NINE: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin, which I also found browsing at B&N; and GUILT BY ASSOCIATION by Marcia Clark, which I found out about when I saw Clark interviewed and they mentioned her new book.

Michelle
THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH by Carrie Ryan I heard about it on several book blogs over the past year or so and I've been wanting to read it for a while now. So far, it's not disappointing!

Robert E. R.
POWER DOWN by Ben Coes. My next book will be ABUSE OF POWER by Michael Savage. Both are authors I had not heard of, that I was fortunate to find because of your website. I keep a favorite list of authors; I find that way I can catch their new work. I find news and new authors from your website and then investigate to pick the books I read.

Debbie K.

THE DOVEKEEPERS by Alice Hoffman I heard about this book about a year ago when I was looking for a new book by Hoffman to read. I probably learned about it from a book website.

Julie
THE KITCHEN HOUSE by Kathleen Grissom. The book was passed to me from a 40-something who had also read THE HELP and connected both stories.

THE STORY OF MY FATHER: A Memoir, by Sue Miller. I found it while browsing titles by my favorite authors.

Fernanda B.
I'm reading CLEOPATRA: A Life, by Stacy Schiff. I bought it because it spoke to the historian in me, and I wanted to know how the author dealt with a life we don't really know much about. So far it's been worth the read. I found out about it through Amazon.com and book reviews.

Laura G.
HOW TO BE AN AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE by Margaret Dilloway. I found it in the audiobook section of my library.

Carol W.
FOLLOWING ATTICUS by Tom Ryan. Saw it at Barnes & Noble. I always enjoy true-life stories about dogs and their owners. Also, I am from New England and this story is based on the journeys of both dog and owner as they hike 48 peaks in New Hampshire.

THE BIRD SISTERS by Rebecca Rasmussen. I believe I read a summary of the book at Bookpages.com.

Cathryn F.
SISTER by Rosamund Lupton. I read a review of it online.

Sheryl
BLIND FURY by Lynda La Plante. I'm a huge fan of hers and I try to read every series she has written, which is a bit hard because they are based in the UK. Lynda created "Prime Suspect" and she has never let me down. This new series is awesome; if you liked "Prime Suspect" you'll love this.

Cheryl F.
i just started THE AFFAIR by Lee Child. I heard about this book either at BookPage or Bookreporter. I read both newsletters and don't recall which one alerted me to THE AFFAIR. I have read all of the Reacher novels and really enjoy them. I was really looking forward to reading this prequel.

Just finished THE NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Morgenstern. I first heard about it either here or at Bookbrowse. I also read a lot about it being one of the top fall books for 2011. Then a few of my friends at Shelfari read it and loved it so I bought it and loved it.

Dona M.
DEAD END IN NORVELT by Jack Gantos. He spoke at the National Book Festival in D.C. in late Sept. He had me laughing non-stop for half an hour about his books, reading and growing up in Norvelt (a town set up by Eleanor Roosevelt). It's a very funny young adult book.

Sharon
CANE RIVER by Lalita Tademy. Just picked it up at the Friends of the Library sale.

Rilla M. F.
SACRIFICE by S. J. Bolton. I do a lot of research on book sites and mystery writers' sites. That is where I read a review of this author. I like this book very much. To help me find new good books, I also always check the awards authors receive.

Sue
THE GREATER JOURNEY: Americans in Paris by David G. McCullough. A friend recommended it.

David R.
PHYSICS OF THE FUTURE by Dr. Michio Kaku. Found it in a Borders bookstore. As an engineer myself, it is a great book about where technology is going in the next century. (If you are a Star Trek fan you will also love this book, as it talks about Star Trek and what it shows us). This book will be in my library forever.

Bev H.
STILL MISSING by Chevy Stevens. I heard about it in the Bookreporter.com newsletter! I love Carol's weekly post and decided to read these two books. I am really caught up in the story and don't want to put it down! Thank you Carol and Bookreporter.com.

I'm reading two books: FOR THE SAKE OF ELENA by Elizabeth George, a series my best friend introduced me to years ago, and TRUE SELVES, by Mildred L.

Linda J.
THE BEEKEPER'S LAMENT by Hannah Nordhaus. This book was recommended by a friend.

Karla S.
I heard about THE BUDDHA IN THE ATTIC by Julie Otsuka from several sources: online e-mails and book magazines that I subscribe to. I'm fascinated with people who migrate to the United States, and their experiences as they try to assimilate into our culture. Most have to struggle and are not accepted by those who were in the same circumstances a generation or two before.

Lois C.
LET THE GREAT WORLD SPIN by Colum McCann. Heard about it from a friend of a librarian.

Karla S.
CROSS CURRENTS by John Shors. I have read all of his previous books so this one was a must- read. I heard about the book through online book reviews and book magazines. Far-Eastern countries fascinate me, and I seek out books about the region. I especially loved Shors' description of family and friendship that the Thai people demonstrated.

Karla S.
FINN by John Clinch. This is a book about Huckleberry Finn's father. My book club will be reading HUCKLEBERRY FINN in May, so reading background books will be good way for me to contribute to the discussion. Huck's father, as depicted by Twain, was a rough man and treated Huck very harshly, but Huck wanted to be with him. Getting to know Finn better may help me understand their relationship.

Harriet T.
PARROT AND OLIVIER IN AMERICA by Peter Carey. This book was chosen by one of my book groups.

Lynn D.
DEAD AND DOGGONE by Susan Conant. I found out about this book through Amazon.com. I tried to read some books in this series maybe 10 years ago and just didn't care for them, but now I am giving the whole series another try!

Mary
I'm reading WINTER IN MADRID by C.J. Sansom. It was on a friend's Goodreads "to read" list. I am enjoying it.

Jan W.
NEW YORK TO DALLAS by J. D. Robb. I heard about the book on this very website and just finished it. It was very good; I especially enjoyed the relationship between Eve and Roarke. I just love the way he looks after her and the commitment they share. For instance, in the Epilogue when she speaks of the love he has for her I always read it and know my husband has that type of love for me and how we are so closely linked without even saying it. It just is! We have always said that he is spoiled and I am pampered. These Robb books illustrate this to me.

Sean P.
THE GHOST by Robert Harris. I heard about this book after reading FATHERLAND by Robert Harris and realized I wanted to read everything he had written.

Jerry J.

I read the first two books of THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins. I haven't read the third yet. I could hardly put them down. Once a year the town draws names for who will play in a deadly game. It is heart-breaking for the ones who get chosen.

Liz E.
I am alternating between THE RED QUEEN and THE WHITE QUEEN by Philippa Gregory, trying to stay chronological with both. These titles, like most titles I eventually read, I discover each week in your Bookreporter.com newsletter. It's the reason I get up early on Saturday's. I can't wait to discover what you have waiting for me.

Amy N.
Chris Bohjalian's THE NIGHT STRANGERS. I follow Chris on Facebook and started reading reviews of this book in various publications, including People magazine.

I am reading HOUSE OF SECRETS by Tracie Peterson. I heard about it on Bookreporter.com.

Debbie W.
I am reading TEA ROSE by Jennifer Donnelly, which caught my attention on the 'new books' section at B&N since it is first in a trilogy, the third which was on the shelf. I miss touching and browsing 'real' books since I became a new owner of a nook. I have had it since May and have seventy books downloaded. I HAVE to go to the bookstore in addition to reading 'Bookreporter' just to keep my sanity.

Noreen B.
I'm reading DUBLINERS by James Joyce. It's our book club selection this month.

THE RINGER by Jenny Shank, an excellent novel about a Denver cop who mistakenly shoots a Mexican immigrant during a drug raid then finds that the victim's son plays on the opposing Little League team where his own boys play.
