I read the short story http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...

Hildie At The Ghost Shore and loved it. 5 star review

The Innocent

I finished The Girl Who Wrote Loneliness. 4 stars . My review : https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just finished Sycamore Row by John Grisham.

It's about another sensational trial involving the lawyer from A Time to Kill.
I was skeptical after the first 1/4 or so, but it had some nice twists and characterizations that kept me entertained. I give it 4 stars.

I am reading You Can Heal Your Life. By Louise Hay

I read The Sisters of Versailles. 2.5 rounded to 3 stars . My review : https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Writing style and character development so far not as good as Purple Hibicus. Still early into book; hoping it gets better.

I finished Gold Fame Citrus. 4 stars . My review : https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just finished, in breakneck speed, 'Lethal' by Sandra Brown. Wow is all I can say!! This was the kind of writing that makes you miss The Incredible Dr Pol, and who can miss him??!! A must read.

Now starting the next book in the Sugarcreek Amish Mystery Series, Where Hope Dwells. Hoping this #2 of the 3 books in this series is as suspenseful as the first book of the series.

I finished "Hard Fall" by.P.T. Reade. A very good mystery of the old school - hard boiled detective. A difference, though, as he is a former NYC cop in London because his wife & son were murdered there when they moved to London ahead of him for her new job. It even ends with a twist that makes you want more. So, now I'n reading the 2nd book in the series, "Snow Burn." It's looking good so far!

I am currently reading the satirical classic "It Can't Happen Here", by Sinclair Lewis. Looks like some of our present presidential candidates are reincarnations of some of the characters in this book.

I'll let you guess which ones.

Finished by Laura McBride-- 4 Stars!

Wow- powerful book dealing with a tough subject matter- PTSD and how it effects every single person in your life. Tragic events lead to a tough read, but offered in a way that makes me think I won't easily forget this one...

Listening to & reading along with the audio Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I just finished the most interesting book, Dirty Secrets of the World's Worst Employee. It follows the author - an aspiring writer- from one job to the next, highlighting all of the entertaining and educational moments along her journey. I found it especially enlightening, because I hadn't realized that gender inequality and sexual harassment are still so prevalent in modern society. This book made me laugh, cry, and think, which is more than I can ask of any book.

I am Bev. I just finished reading The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman. I highly recommend it.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

Sara, the book you're reading had really diverse reactions from love to hate. I'm more in the first category. It's just so British!

Sara , I loved it as well as the follow up The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy which I recommend if you like this one.

Trying to get my way through Millenium Series. On book 3 - Girl who kicked the hornest's nest. There is so much unnecessary dialogue that I've started skipping through what I think I can.

Thanks Angela! I will add it to my TBR list.

Sorry about the partial comment. Got distracted & sidetracked! I finished two things by Rachel Joyce - both 5 stars. Really enjoy her writing! "The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy" and "A Faraway Smell of Lemon."

Just finished Fortner's Black Silent Majority and am now reading The Chalk Circle Man by Fred Vargas (I like to alternate between fiction and nonfiction).

Finally finished by Jane Austen-- 4 Stars!

How have I gone this long in my life without having met Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Highly enjoyed this book!
