Girls in White Dresses - Jennifer Close ... it was okay.
The Snowman - Jo Nesbo ... I tried to read this last year and couldn't get into it, but after seeing another blogger rave about it I tried again and loved it. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had read the series from the beginning, but since none of the others have been translated into English I guess I'm outta luck.
Into Thin Air - Jon Krakauer ** ... I liked it okay. Bunch of crazy people. (non-fiction)
A Room With a View - EM Forster ** ... Hated it. Have I mentioned I hate classics?
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer ** ... More than halfway through, and I'm not sure how I feel about it still. I'll try to let you know next month.
And that's all she wrote. Or at least, all she read.
(**book club books)

I also thought Girls in White Dresses was just OK. There was no plot!
I know why you can't sit still to read - you're trying to make yourself read books you don't really like. Given that it sounds like it was a good thing for The Snowman and also for your book club. You need a Bitterblue or new VA book to get you going. ;)
You might try Lindsay Buroker's Emperor's Edge, but then again you might not like it. It is free though on Kindle.
I counted it up last night - I've read 17 books since Christmas (when I got my Nook). I confess, however, that this is to the detriment of my housekeeping. I get lost in a book and it's SO easy to grab the Nook and carry it with me, so.... oops! And now that you've hooked me up with the library lending, I'm going even faster. (I did read 4 books in 7 days, btw). I promised myself I wouldn't buy any more until I got paid on the 10th. :) Thank goodness for the library!
