The Next Best Book Club discussion

Sinner by Tess Gerritsen

I Know This Much Is True, by Wally Lamb

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Stay Another Night.

I'm starting Deaf Sentence by David Lodge today.

I'm going to read a few chapters into A Game of Thrones today. I nearly to the halfway mark.

I haven't posted in awhile but some of the books I recently finished were:
Something Wicked This Way Comes, Christine, The Martian, and Code Zero.
Now I'm reading Stardust.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie – 4****
I re-read this in preparation for my F2F book club. What a delight! Even knowing the solution I was still engaged and enthralled. Christie was truly a master at her craft.

I've just started reading The Secrets Sisters Keep by Sinéad Moriarty. I've previously read Mad About You by her and I really enjoyed that book. I look forward to getting further into the new one.

Just finished The Thirteenth Tale, and am now starting The Handmaid's Tale.

I am reading "A MOVEABLE FEAST" by ERNEST HEMINGWAY,this is lovely book about a young Hemingway in paris

I'm reading Working For the Devil by Lilith Saintcrow

One of my favorite classic mysteries!

I finished East of Eden last night. Good, but wish it hadn't taken me more than a week to finish it. Now starting The Hollow by Nora Roberts.

Heather, I love East of Eden. Taking more than a week to read it is just giving the book its due.

And Emilly, I'm just now reading a book of essays on Hemingway. One author pointed out that one reason Hemingway describes objects (food, light) in such loving detail is that these solid facts are something to hold on to in an undependable world. I'd never thought of that.

Shelley, http://dustbowlstory.wordpress.com

Just finished The Signature of All Things that I found boring. I gave it 2 stars just because I really like Gilbert's prose.
Before it I read the Hanger Games series. A wonderful YA series really!
I'm still working on The Visionist, and really having problems swallowing it.
When I'm done with it I'll go through The Rosie Project and Y: a novel.

I started The Handmaid's Tale yesterday and I cannot put it down! It is so beautifully written and the story is frightening and heart- wrenching, and thought provoking all at the same time. I am loving it!!

I really enjoyed it too. Good Read! This book reminded me that I like dystopian novels.

I just started Me Before You. I'm excited because I've heard it's very good. Hoping it lives up to all the recommendations.

I'm just starting I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes.

I'm about to start reading The Water Rat of Wanchai.

Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler – 4****
This is a novel of friendship, and of men growing to adulthood. Butler writes prose that is poetic and atmospheric. Each of the five main characters has a chance to narrate, so the reader gets some insight into each of their inner thoughts and feelings, and their observations on the others in the quintet. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy character-driven novels. The audio book features five performers, each voicing a different character in alternating chapters.

Anne Of Avonlea by L M Montgomery – 4****
I am late to the party in regards to this series, having read Anne of Green Gables only a few years ago. But I immediately fell in love with Anne. Her enthusiasm for life and natural predilection for finding trouble continue to charm and engage readers a century later. The books are enjoyable for adults and children alike.

I got hooked on reading these. I was reading them online during my lunch break at work over a couple of months. I've read five of them. I also came late!

Wanted to read the novelization of Alien, based on the original screenplay. I just started it a few days ago.

(Re) read Wind, Sand, & Stars by Saint-Exupery..one of my favorite books of all time..a quick read & amazing 1930's aviation adventure

I just finished reading WE Are Water by Wally Lamb. I really enjoyed reading it and recommend it. I read it because my book group picked it this month and I am glad that they did.

This was one of my favorite series growing up. I even still have the videos based on the first two books.

I finished The Hollow by Nora Roberts yesterday and immediately started a reread of a childhood favorite, Rascal by Sterling North.

I finished The Return of Rafe McKade by Nora Roberts. Now I am reading Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen.

Different Seasons by Stephen King – 4****
This is a collection of four short stories/novellas that do not fit neatly into the horror genre. Two have been made into the successful films The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me. Even though these are not horror stories, King still delivers his trademark tight plotting, graphically vivid scenes and memorable characters. They are stories that fire a reader’s imagination. And that, in a nutshell is why I love reading fiction in general, and King in particular.

I haven't read the books but saw the moveis and play. I love the story!

I finished Stardust and now I'm on Mr. Mercedes.

Just finished The Handmaid's Tale, which is now one of my favorite books of all time. It was absolutely amazing! I am now starting The Eyre Affair.

i am currently reading , , and . All are very good so far.

Mr Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan – 5***** and a ❤
Something very strange is going on at Mr Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, and Clay Jannon (with a little help from his friends) is determined to find the secret. This is a literary adventure, a fantasy quest, a tale of friendship, a coming-of-age story and an exploration of man’s search for meaning all in one. It pays homage to Old Knowledge while celebrating New Technology, and encourages us to look to the past while envisioning the future. The characters are strange and loveable, obtuse and insightful. And the settings! I could feel the chill, smell the books, and I swear the dust made me sneeze repeatedly. Ari Fliakos does a marvelous job performing the audio version of the book.

I'm reading

I'm reading The Biology of Luck.

An Unexpected Song by Iris Johansen – ZERO stars.

One of the worst books ever written and a total waste of my time. Well, at least it fulfilled several challenges. Save yourselves and read something else.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

I am a third of the way through The Blade Itself #1, the first of a trilogy, and very good so far.

I just started Lament by Maggie Stiefvater

I finished The Lost Sisterhood recently, it was my first ever ARC from NetGalley :-)

Here is my review:

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

I'm going to start Tiny Sunbirds Far Away by Christie Watson.

i am still stuck on . it is a little slow and i can't seem to love it as much as i should. There are some times when i just want to quit this book and then there are other times when i want to find out what happens next or i just get frustrated with the book. i have been stuck on it all week and i hope to get through it by Monday so i can start reading a different book.

Love this and the related series, "Heroes of Olympus." Just finished a cozy mystery, Lost and Fondue by Avery Aames and started The Swiss Family Robinson for a classic group read.

I've just started reading Audition for Murder which is a mystery and a re-release.

Silent girl by tess gerritsen

Undiscovered Country by Lin Engler. A mystery set in north Minnesota.

I also started the storyteller by jodi picoult

i have finally finished reading Love Letters to the Dead and it was pretty good. i have now picked up again and am trying to finish that. i will then either read , , or . i just haven't decided on which one i want to read next. I hope to go to the library on Friday but i really don't see that happening at this point since love letters to the dead took me so long to read.

Started The Night Circus and Night Film
