A Fictional Book
The kiddo and I are currently reading the mouse cookie books. You know the ones, "If you give a mouse a cookie, hes gonna wanna..." We have added If you give a mouse a cookie, If you take a mouse to school, If you give a moose a muffin, If you give a pig a pancake, If you give a pig a party and If you give a cat a cupcake to our library. She loves these books and I can't say that I blame her... I loved them as a child myself.
As for our foreign selection... we are currently reading Aschenputtel (Cinderella in German) by Ethan Mordden. She has shown major progress in this book from when we first started reading it... and I am more than ecstatic about that! She is beginning to understand alot more German words and has been speaking in German more often, I honestly couldn't be more proud! Oh and her pronunciation is spot on! I have never been so glad to have made the choice to start teaching her other languages so early on in life. I just have to remember speak "proper German" and not in my dialect (slang) LOL! 
The other book we are currently reading together is; I live in Tokyo by Mari Takabayashi. If I fail at everything else in life, I will succeed at having a smart, worldly-wise and multilingual child!... that is the goal at least. I think were off to a good start though, she already wants to travel the world and make as many friends as she can, which is not to hard for her seeing how she is not shy at all. :)
As for myself... I just finished up Southern Vampires: 13 Deep Fried Blood Curdling Tales, which was really good for a short story book. Now I am currently reading Almost Single by Advaita Kala. What can I say... I'm a sucker for Indian novels and Bollywood films! The novel takes place in New Delhi and reads like chick-lit but with a Hindi twist. I like the heroin and the book has a pretty witty dialog too.
