The Chopin Manuscript by Jeffery Deaver
(Audio book): Not much progress on this one yet! I hope to complete it this week! 
The Help by Kathryn Stockett:
One of the must-reads of 2010 finally in my hands!! I had been waiting for this book from last October, so it definitely feels good to finally be able to read it. So far, I am just a few pages in, but it's pretty engrossing!
The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch:
This thriller is told in reverse! The protagonist goes back in one hour increments to prevent a crime. The synopsis of this book is very interesting, and I had been on-hold for this one since it released in December.
Precious / Push by Sapphire:
This is another book I've been itching to read for some time. Only 192 pages. So I'll be hoping to read this one also this week!
