My bookgroup is reading "Monkey Dancing" and it is amazing, the story of a man who took his kids on a trip around the world to see the fading wonders and heal from their mother's leaving and their uncle's death... the author is SOMETHING Glick! I read it in September and was transfixed the entire time!!!
As for what I am reading right now, with the impending return of our little guy...
I Love You Rituals
Attaching in Adoption
Parenting the Hurt Child
Our Own (adopting the older child)
Well, that's all that's on the desk at the moment but there are more downstairs.
I'm finally starting to read again (from a long hiatus when I just didn't have the focus). I am reading Miseducation by David Elkind and here's my "to do" reading list:
-I wanna reread "Raising a Son" as I won one on Ebay.
-The Human Stain (the movie looks good, hope the book is better)
-The Underachieving School by John Holt
and... The Alchemist
I love to read. I miss when I was younger I would just spend the whole day in bed reading something.

I have been stuck in the Outlander series for about a month. I am in the last one (Firey Cross) right now.
Last month I was reading Terry Goodkind (the Sowrd of Truth series)... I like him... but he is SO brutal sometimes. Don loves him.
I finished Robart Jordan's Wheel of Time series in the summer.
I read the Jean Aeul's Clan of the Cave bear, and am waiting for the next one to get back to the library.
I reread all of the Lord of the Rings, and the Hobbit in Augest. I can't WAIT for Return of the King to come to the movies.... (I really hope they don't screw this one up like the last one.)
I read People of the Sea... ummmm... crap there is so much more and neither Don or I can remember.
I am in at least two books at all times. I read one and then go right into the other. I finished Drums Of Autum (Outlander series) this morning, and I am in that odd place of wanting to buy the next book but having Terry Goodkind sitting next to my bed too... lol... uggg...
love Val
Edit: Now I am reading The Red Tent...

I am reading "All Over Creation" by Ruth Ozeki. It is as good as her first novel, "My Year of Meats." THey are both very environmentally-conscious books, while being great stories about interesting women.

I'm Re-reading the Harry Potters in prep for reading #5 for the first time. I'm a little over 1/2way through 4 right now. I'm also reading Salmon of Doubt (Douglas Adams) and need to pick Anne of Green Gables back up to just finish it, but it's rather an annoying book to me.
I was thinking of reading Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged again, but I've read them quite a few times and may do something else first like some more Jane Austen I read P&P for the first time early this year and really enjoyed it. I also have Tuck Everlasting waiting in the wings and also need to get back to Superimmunity for Kids.
I love Orson Scott Card's work! I haven't read Shadow Puppets though. Is that part of the Ender group?

Okay, I just got A House Called Awful End The Eddie Dickens Trilogy by Philip Ardagh. They were selling it at my son's book fair. It looked interesting. The school librarian suggested Lemony Snickets books for those HP fans. Might have to start perusing those soon...
