Just starting a new thread for this topic since the other was getting quite full.
I just finished two books I've been reading:
The Blood Countess by Tara Moss - pretty much your average paranormal YA novel. I started out liking it but grew bored as soon as the supernatural elements came out.
The Case of the Pope: Vatican Accountability for Human Rights Abuse by Geoffrey Robertson - very interesting. I'd recommend to anyone interested in human rights and international law or the issue of sex abuse within the Catholic Church.

I recently finished Lady Windermer's Fan, I enjoyed it! It was the last book I read in 2010, and The Importance of Being Earnest was the first one.

Just finished The House at Riverton by Kate Morton. One of the most amazing books I have read in a long time!! It's similar to Atonement, I Capture the Castle, and Rebecca. I HIGHLY Recommend it!! It's so haunting and nostalgic that I would get shivers while reading it.

I finished reading "Unfinished Business" by Ted Cohen this morning, I liked it more than the first book in the trilogy - I'll probably pick up the third book next.

I finished all three of the Hunger Games books. I have to say, though I liked the series, I felt a little disappointed in the way it all turned out. I don't know why, but I had this vague linguring feeling that I wasn't pleased. If that makes any sense.

I finished The Mistress of Nothing by Kate Pullinger the other day. It was pretty good, but I liked the location/time-period more than parts of the story itself

I really enjoyed The House at Riverton too. I finished Gone with the Wind this afternoon. I absolutely loved it. I could hardly put it down the entire time that I was reading it.

I recently finished Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier, it was a pleasant read but not as good as I expected. I think I missed something.
