Yeah, Eat, Pray, Love is done. It was good, but I really had to push through parts of it. I didn't think I was ever going to get through Italy! I'm glad I read it!
Noon at G's.I just finished reading "A Reliable Wife". What a rugged story.Needed a nap after that.
I read "The Red Thread". And of course I thought of you.It seemed a little fluffy but also had some interesting characters.It was kind of an "almost ran" novel.
Everything! My favorite so far is the trilogy, The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo. I have several on my Kindle that I got for free that I read, The Circle of Friends, Against All Odds.I hope you have read Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, The Scent of Rain and Lightning and House of Daughters. Can't wait to hear what you have been reading.Linda
Did I tell you about reading "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand"? by Helen SimonsonLOVED IT.I've read several other books which I DID NOT LOVE.Am 'listening' to "Stones for Schools". It's hard to listen to but it is VERY COMPELLING. Read "3 Cups" and liked it.The history he gives about Afghanistan and the picture of life there is excellent. Even when I think , "Oh I don't know if I can finish this,"...I know that I must. In between I am reading "Why My Third Husband Will be a Dog" by Lisa Scottoline. It is a compilation of some of her columns from the Philadelphia Inquirer and they are good and very funny.Took Anne LaMott's new book out of the library but haven't started it. This is a novel and I much prefer her non-fiction. Am also reading Kate Braestrup's new book and so far it's not as good as her first, "Here If You Need Me"....but I'll definitely finish it.
The must reads of the summer for me are Eat, Pray, Love and The Girl with the Dragon tattoo. Do you have any must read suggestions?
I just finished reading "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand" by Helen Simonson. I absolutely, totally, unequivocally LOVED it.[br/]We don't always seem to love the same types of books so I can't predict if you would like this one. But...great characters,[br/]great relationships....some humor....good plot. Really, this was good.[br/]Right now, reading "Why Do I Love These People?" by Po Bronson. Don't know how I feel about it. It's non-fiction. Mr. Bronson spent a bunch of years interviewing 700? families. He selected maybe 10, and told their stories. Regular people with regular family stuff. Kinda good. Not outstanding. I've got "Mennonite in a Little Black Dress" standing by. How could I walk by that one?
I easliy get into books for now but later i am not sure how it will be and mostly because that is what my friends are giving me if they gave me something else I would read that to and it is not fully updated I have alot more that I could put on there but didnt
I read during school snd before bed and any second that I heve
Oh...I would love to hear Greg M. speak. I also read "Three Cups..." and liked it. I've wondered about the new book. Sounds like I should try it. Yes, "Handle With Care" was the book that just did me right in. The subject matter of this new one sounds a little more intriguing.....but I'll let you give it a "go" and report back.
I swore I would not put myself through another Jodi book after reading the last one....can't remember the title. Unless I hear someone clicking their heels over this one, I'm not there.Just finished Pat Conroy's "South of Broad". Loved it. Loved it. A big, fat, wild, very southern novel....no big surprise. Bigger than life characters, huge plot. Couldn't put it down.
I enjoyed Half Broke Horses, too...guess I forgot to add it to my list. Linda jennings loaned it to me. Now that she has a Kindle, she won't be passing along any more books (sniff, sniff). I just finished Before You Know Kindness. I'll probably give it just three stars. I need a five star book to read!!
One of my 11-year old granddaughters who is on Goodreads, another book club on line recommended this book to me and I loved it.The format is letters from a 12 year old boy who is in a car accident with his younger sister. Both die, but he is revived by the docs, after having an out-of-body experience. As a way of healing he writes letters to his sister for 154 days in a journal. I really liked this book.
My Dan read the new Dan Brown book and thought it was lousy.
it is vampires but it is different than most of the other vampire books that I have read and I just finished all the ones that are published and I cant wait for the rest to come out cause you know that there has to be more than 7 of then there just has to be
I just started the house of night sereies and it is sooooo good slightly below my reading level but it is still great
Poisonwood Bible, in my humble estimation is the worst choice you could possibly have made to "test" Barbara K. I read it and thought it would never end. My least favorite of hers.Dan just finished reading Dan Brown's latest book and was overwhelmingly disappointed. Thought it was poorly written to begin with.
Hey K!I was underwhelmed by Dan Brown's Book. Slow to start, got pretty good in the middle, and petered out in the end for a very disappointing ending! NURTURESHOCK WAS AWESOME!
Did you read the WHOLE of "Blink"?I can't believe you hated it.I was fascinated by it.I actually listened to it. Did I say that? And Malcom (we're on a first name basis) reads it, which is usually the kiss of death.But I think I could listen to him read the current Health Care Plan, all 2,000 pages.And I so agree with you about the Vietnam war memorial. When I see people on TV standing by the memorial that practically brings me to my knees.
Just finished reading "Drinking the Rain" a memoir by Alix Kates Shulman. She wrote "Memoir of an Ex-Prom Queen" which I have NOT read.This one was good. Didn't think I was going to like for any number of reasons. But I did. I really, really did.It's not a new topic. Unhappily married woman leaves home. Goes to remote cottage by the sea. Finds herself. Yawn.But this woman really spoke to me. I did a lot of highlighting. Didn't want it to end.
