I've seen this book many times and wanted to read it but just never got around to it. I think it will be my reward once I finally finish this Christopher Rice snorefest I am trudging through.

It's a good story. Told thru the eyes of a cat.
I started The Count of Monte Cristo on November 19th and I'm still reading it. I'm on page 436 and the equivalent of 34% into the Kindle edition. Pretty darn good so far. Just takes time and that's something I haven't had a lot of lately.
I've got Revival to start and Kenzaburo Oe's A Personal Matter to finish up once I'm finished with this mammoth of a book.

Pale Horse Coming by Stephen Hunter. Excellent.

I am taking it kinda slow. Only made it to chapter two just before bed last night.
I haven't, but now I'm going to get it--lol. I usually wait until our library has them, but this sounds BIG
I wouldn't be surprised it Kirkman intends it to be used, whatever it is, given his intent to end the books within 2 years and the show having the same time frame.

It is BIG! I think it's exactly what the comics needed (to spice things up lol)--and it would really be a cool thing to do in the show. When you read it, I would love to hear your thoughts. As always, I like your take on the TWD world!
Mary Poppins I needed a palate cleanser before I dive into Amanda Palmer's book (and Revival after Christmas, if my family knows what's good for them 
), and that one caught my fancy at the library today. It's been years since I read it, but as a kid I loved it.

There is so much to this story, slow is good!
I'm almost done with Perfidia, by James Ellroy. What a strange brew it is. The staccato like prose with short punchy sentences took some getting used to. But the characters are vivid and pull you into the malaise of corruption and violence of 1941 L.A.
I'm half way through Reamde, by Neal Stephenson which means another 500 or so pages. And I will start The Golem of Hollywood, by Messrs. Kellerman, once I'm done with Mr Ellroy.

I have finished Flesh Eaters, moves along but has anticlimactic ending; I also finished Bones Never Lie, a busy read, lots to learn. I keep putting Big Little Lies down and I am only 20 pages or so from the end! It has finally come to the point that has been hinted at since the first couple of pages but I love/hate all the characters involved and I am afraid of finding out what will happen. 'Tis an awesome book, I'll be seeking out more by Mz. Moriarity.
Just finished The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I had seen it last year and thought it would be something good to try, but then got preoccupied with other books/life. It was in my e-library's recently returned books right before I went on vacation. So glad I checked it out, as I really enjoyed it! Still waiting til my Xmas Revival fix with several of you all!
Oh yes! A classic, for certain!
I enjoyed The Husband's Secret, but not as much as What Alice Forgot, another Moriarity.
The Night Circus is one of my favorite books! I'm happy that you enjoyed it!
It was quite an enchanting tale, as corny as that may sound! 
Have been reading Lone Survivors by Chris Stringer. An interesting book about human evolution. Not so much an overview as an discussion about different questions and interpretations in the paleoanthropological world today. He talks mainly about the Homo-line and leaves their earlier ancestors for another book. He presupposes some, if not much knowledge, about terms and so on so it is perhaps not the ideal book for a beginner but it is a very good discussion of different problems in that area. I read because i felt i had to update my knowledge of what scientists think today because i'm writing an article about Human evolution at the moment.

Cool! It's always great when you love a book and find out someone else did, too. It's like we are parental of the story!And enchanting is a perfect word for it. Not corny at all!
THANKS, another recommendation.
The Red Hot Typewriter by Hugh Merrill. Interesting too see some letters between King and MacDonald. I wonder why bits of MacDonald's teeth were falling out? Sounds like scurvy.
I am reading Four Mothers by Shifra Horn and I think I will really enjoy this. It has a witchy feel to it and it really holds my attention.
