Right now, I'm reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. It's not the type of book I'm used to reading and it's taking me a little while to get through it. I've been working on it for about a week now whereas I usually finish a book in 2-3 days. I'm a little over halfway through and so far, it's been interesting. I have to say the beginning was more interesting than where I am now. Final verdict is still out, but so far it's been an okay book.
I checked out a couple of books the other day and planned to read them in the car on our trip to Missouri this past weekend, but I ended up sleeping instead. Oops. They are The Legal Limit by Martin Clark and Practically Perfect by Katie Fforde.
The Legal Limit is supposed to rival anything by John Grisham and if it's half as good as any of the Grisham books I've read, I'll be happy. If I get it finished before I have to return it (we are moving in 9 days!) I will post a review on next month's Nightstand.
I've read a few Katie Fforde books and she is witty and charming with her romantic comedy stories. I look forward to relaxing with a good cup of coffee and Practically Perfect.
What about you? What are you reading right now? Any recommendations for me or other readers out there? If you know of any authors similar to Janet Evanovich or Lisa Jackson, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave a comment or email me. Thanks a bunch! With the winter months coming up, I'll be holed up with a good book as much as possible once the temperatures start dropping!

I used to read in the car, not I think it might make me sick.
Is this your first blog? welcome!
Hi, Monica. It's not my first blog, I just changed things up a bit.
Let us know if Legal Limit is as good as Grisham books! Have you read Lisa Gardner, Iris Johansen (the eve duncan series) or Kathy Reichs?
Hi, Nise! No, I haven't read any of those authors. I'll be sure to check them out though. Thanks for recs. I will definitely post about The Legal Limit. I'm curious to see how it stacks up to Grisham as well.
I keep reading about Middlesex. Maybe it's a sign that I need to read it!

That's why I finally got it from the library. Everyone was always talking about it!
I love all the detail! Thanks for joining in.
Hi, Jennifer! Glad you like it. I'm always wondering if I'm telling too much or not enough. I think I've finally found a happy medium.
I read Middlesex for a book club several years ago and everyone in my book club thought it was great and I felt really awful about it but ... I just couldn't get into it. I finished it, but I just didn't care about any of the characters. It might have been the place I was in at the time and maybe it didn't speak to me appropriately. I'm not sure.
I'm not sorry I read it, it was very well written. It was just not one of my favorites.
I love the Eve Duncan series!
