What are you reading in February 2010??

OK..what has everyone been reading??

I have just finished Reasons by Trace Fabre. I really loved it!!

Going to try and read Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold real quick so I can go see the movie!!

I finished U is for Undertow by Sue Grafton and posted the review here and on my book blog.

I am now reading the new "An Abigail Adams Mystery" - The Ninth Daughter by Barbara Hamilton. It is tough reading at first, but grows on you (me, anyway!). I'm about half way through. She goes into great detail about life in the 1770s in Boston, just prior to the Revolution breaking out. The ship of tea is in the harbor! There is a grisly murder of a woman in the home of a good lady friend. Were the Sons of Liberty involved? The British Provost Marshall thinks her husband, John Adams, did it... but has no proof, of course. Abigail works with this British officer uncover the truth, as Sons of Liberty meetings are going on, and Abigail has her housewifely and community responsibilities to fulful. I'm a little more than half through; story is filled with great detail of household daily activities, the filthy streets, the bad weather, life on the dock and wharfs, etc., etc.

I just read an outstanding book for young adults and people of all ages. Check out my review of Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith by Deborah Heiligman.

Dad - your historical fiction mystery sounds really interesting! Are there others in this series? Have you read them?

eduscapes. Assume you have seen my review, as well. This is the first of the series... another one Mom picked out: because it "looked good!"
I just finished Drake's Bay by T.A. Roberts, an ARC from LibrayThing. We both loved it. Mystery. Mom has written her review. I'm just working on mine.
I'm now starting First in Peace: How George Washington Set the Course for America by Conor Cruise O'Brien; he is now deceased. It is a followup to his The Long Affair on Thomas Jefferson, setting out clearly his feelings toward both Jefferson and Washington - the subtitle sort of gives away his inclinations! ;-)

dad - You have way too much time to read... you must be retired!

...and I still don't have enough time! ;-)
