I'm reading "Always Looking up, the adventures of an incurable optimist" by Michael J. Fox. After reading pages about his admiration for Lance Armstrong, I'm wondering how Michael feels about him now.

I highly recommend it is a great book with lots of twists and turns, but does have sad parts!

A 3rd Time To Die by George A. Bernstein
Book Review by Susan McMichael
4 out of 5 stars

What is it about you stranger?
This is a love story with a mystery at the heart of it, a paranormal mystery. Why can Ashley Easton speak French so well? Why can she ride a horse so well, after only riding for just a few weeks? Who is the mysterious young man she meets in the dressage competition, and why is he so alluring? A 3rd Time to Die by George A. Bernstein is a love story and a mystery, rolled into one. It uses the concept of reincarnation as an interesting plot device.

Our first glimpse of Ashley Easton is of a woman rescuing a horse:
"Hey quit that!" Her shout raspy, she banged the gate with the side of the pitchfork. (p. 25)
The horse has always represented passion and desire in literature, and A 3rd Time to Die is no exception. Ashley's new horse brings her excitement and energy into her life and allows a new relationship to flourish. Ashley is revitalised and energised by rescuing the horse; it also brings into sharp relief the way her life has changed. Ashley is an engaging character who knows her own mind and who is financially independent. She feels a great deal, but takes a long time to act on these feelings: this is Ashley Easton's challenge.

Finished reading December's Wish by Karly Lane

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I finished A Country Kitchen Christmas - Leanne Tyler in the early hours of the morning.

I am about a third of the way through "the red queen". I was a little apprehensive because it is the same story as "the white queen" just from a different POV. I am loving the book and the series. I have the third book and now hoping I get a Kindle gift card for Christmas so I can buy the last two books in the series.

I just started reading book 2 of The Lumateran Chronicles, Froi of the Exiles which I'm really excited about b/c book 1, Finnikin of the Rock was so darn good!

rereading Walden by Henry David Thoreau, such a beautiful book. After this, I plan to read Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates, then i'm getting started on some Louisa May Alcott!

What a leap, from Yates to Alcott!

I'm currently rereading City of Bones and reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

I'm half way through The Dinner, the international bestseller by Herman Koch. Funny in spots, but the acidulousness is starting to pall. Yet the intimations of creepy stuff ahead keep me going.

Haha, I'm definitely a lover of the classics but I like to balance it out with a variety of genres & current books! :)

I could not get into that book at all! I finished it but did not like it. I did not like the characters, the dialogue or the storyline. It gave me a creepy I need a bath feeling after I finished, and is still haunting me a little.
I have enjoyed books where I have not like the characters but enjoyed the story line (The Art Forger).
I also hated how the narrator of the story would just randomly tease us by saying things were "none of our business". You are telling us a story, yes it is our business. Spoiler he will not tell you how much the meal cost.
Finished it last week...my hatred for this book is still very fresh. I voted for it for the local book club too. Maybe I had too high of expectation for the book.

I'm not above quitting a book without notice, and have done it many more times than I have fingers.

Almost finished with The Lovely BonesThe Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Spoiler: it is a very sad book

There waa a biography about Alcott published within the last year. She was not who you would think.

Crimson Footprints by Shewanda Pugh - Book Review
5 out of 5 stars

The balancing act of life…
Deena Hammond is a 24 year old architect living and working in her home town of Miami, Florida. In some ways Deena is very successful, but she comes from a poor background, and in many ways she is still inextricably tied up with those origins. Her grandmother, Emma Hammond, who brought Deena up, is constantly demanding and never satisfied. Deena’s adult brother Anthony is a small-time criminal, and her sister Lizzie, though still at school, is incorrigibly wayward and seems headed for a disaster of a life. Deena is half African-American and half white and feels that she was never really accepted by the black side of her family when they took her in as a child. In very harrowing circumstances Deena meets Takumi (Tak for short) Tanaka, the son of her world famous, distant and demanding boss Daichi Tanaka. Immediately the personal chemistry and attraction seems right, but everything else between these two people seems impossible. Deena is a mere underling. Should she even be talking to the son of the owner of the business she works for? What is more Deena’s family very much expects her to date a black man. Can these two people overcome the odds and form a friendship, or even the romance they both desire?

Shewanda Pugh’s Crimson Footprints can certainly be classified as a romance; however, it is much more than that. It is a story of class consciousness and racial division. It is about the struggle to find the right equilibrium between work and family, and it is a story about trying to ‘do the right thing’. Most of all, this novel is about balance in all things. We are all different, but we must overcome our resistances and come to the centre ground if we are truly going to be a success in life.
