reading rainbow

i've always loved the name of that pbs show, reading rainbow. when i get my hands on a good book, i want to paint it up in the sky. for all to see and experience the full spectrum of color that it offers. or the one. sometimes a book is just a nice warm brown, and sometimes it goes off the pages into metallics and neons.
i used to be a very linear reader. one book at a time and never - never - read the end before you get to the end. but in the last year or so, i've found myself juggling 5 books at a time. i just can't seem to wait to finish one before starting another. and why should i? who made those rules? lately, the books i've been diving into are ones that are like gourmet food. they taste divine and fill me up.
in my side bar, i'm going to put the latest read i'm in, but keep in mind that there are probably others sneaking in and out. here's a small list of some of the beauties you can check out. add yours in the comments, cuz i always like to use my library card.
