@Maggie Mae Have you read Sue Grafton's alphabet series featuring Kinsey Millhone? Just curious to talk to anyone who's read both. I find Kinsey so much more likable, relatable and smarter than V.I. 

@Blahblah I re-subscribed to Bookbub. I got desperate for some reads when I'd finished my library books. 

I read the Ebook version of The Pearl That Broke Its Shell. It was heartbreaking but so good. I felt like it ended abruptly because I thought I still had a couple hundred pages to go but it was an excerpt from another book. So I'm still thinking of the main characters and wishing there was more to read.

I've just started reading Sue Grafton's last alphabet novel, "Y."  It would have been a good idea not to have skipped "W" and "X" because there are references to an incident that greatly affected the

I just finished Memoirs of a Geisha a few minutes ago.  Loved it.  I'm going to have a hard time figuring out what to read next.

Perfect! I always have to split up my sappy books, I never enjoy them if I read them back to back. 

 

Im currently about 25% of the way through The Family Fang, which I guess was made into a movie several years ago. It's really cute though, hopefully I'll get through it before its due back to the library.

I'm reading the Ebook version of The Japanese Lover by Rani Manicka.

This is a book I've wanted to read for awhile but it wasn't available through the library. The ebook was $4.99 which is less than ordering it from Amazon since shipping is $3.99 plus the cost of the book. And I didn't have to wait!!

I've finished with Helter Skelter and have moved onto Lord of the Shadows (The Dark Artifices book #2) by Cassandra Clare. I will fully admit to loving a bit of YA fantasy! :)

Every once in a while, I go on a YA excursion.  I just finished Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, and now I am reading Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt.  My summer reading is usually a bit lighter than my winter reading habits.

In between summertime fiction, I'm reading Simon Winchester's "A Crack in the Edge of the World," which is about the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.  Interesting read - and pictures!

Ahhh I love those books! :) 

Yes it is. I'm already prepared for the horror. I've seen enough references around here to know that absolutely everything goes wrong!

Wow you read fast. I wish I could sit and get in a few hours (hell I'd even take one) of reading time each night. Daughter always needs to interupt me because she needs me to go to the store RIGHT NOW for new flip flops (yea, that didn't happen) or husband comes in asking if there is anything I wanted to do that night. Umm I'm doing what I want to do right now, but he means what do I want to watch on TV. Nothing! I'm reading.

Oh dear, I think this should have been in the snark thread. Sorry y'all.  I'm going to go read my book while dinner cooks.

@onekidanddone I do but it's only me and the two cats. ;) They tend to make life easier for reading! They never demand flip flops!

I got the Poisonwood Bible to read (again)... it's been a long time, and since being here and learning so much about what is wrong in the world... I am revisiting it.

I'm working my way through the Irish Country Doctor series by Patrick Taylor. I'm really enjoying both the humor and the dialect/linguistic additions.

I've just finished Anatomy of a Soldier, by Harry Parker, and I can definitely recommend it! Whereas stories are usually narrated from a human, sometimes animal, perspective, this story is narrated completely by objects. This provides a really good perspective on how much we rely on and use objects, and how objects actually figure in our lives.

I love all the books by "Robert Galbraith". I'm eagerly awaiting the next one in the series.

I've just started The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules. My mind is still in Whistle Stop so I'm having trouble getting into it but I'll transition sometime.
