Hmmmm....I might be able to get interested in GONE BITCH!! :-)

This is on my tbr, so I'll be interested in what you think of it.

Hello jaxnsmom. I'll post something here when I finish the book. I'm about a quarter into it. So far I like it. It's somewhat spiritual, thought provoking. My husband read it and thought it was very good.

I am reading The Winter People- it is good and a bit Steven Kingish

Parnassus On Wheels by Christopher Morley. Free on iBooks. This book is followed by The Haunted Bookshop which I also plan to read. It is really a very enjoyable old book and much better than some of the freebies that are newly written. How refreshing to read a well-written book that has a good plot and is thought provoking.

I'm posting from my iPhone app. Please excuse the lack of link for the books.

Glad to hear that.

Three non-mysteries I recently finished are:

The Almond Tree by Michelle Cohen Corasanti- 3 stars
This book has been getting a lot of hype, but I felt it wasn't particularly well-written and the characters were thinly drawn. Also, it's a very one-sided view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, being pro-Palestinian, even though it's written by a Jewish-American.

The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson - 5 stars
This book of curmudgeon Bill's travels all around the US is a laugh-a-minute. Very enjoyable.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery - 2 stars
I really don't understand what all the hype was about this book. I found it to be wordy and pretentious. It's obvious the author had an ax to grind about rich people who live in Paris. I probably wouldn't have finished it if I wasn't so curious why it was getting rave reviews and sales.

Finally gotten to reading Killing Floor by Lee Child after it sat on my TBR pile forever

I just finished Big Little Lies and really enjoyed it. It is not my usual kind of book, so I was surprised how much I liked it. I'm now reading Two Graves by Preston and Child. I love Agent Pendergast.

I'm currently reading . Just started today and am half way finished. Very engaging story.

Now starting the third book in the Rock Harbor series .

And starting as well.

Just got done with Calculated in Death and started The Red Door. Both are excellent mysteries.

Read Bliss House by Laura Benedict. This is part mystery, part gothic ghost story and a thriller. One of the best of this type of book I've ever read. It got 5 stars from me.

I have this on my Kindle TBR. I hope to start it soon.

I listened to the latest Jesse Stone book, Robert B. Parker's Blind Spot. I like picturing Tom Selleck as Jesse as I read this series. To me he fits better than the actual character :)

Just finished "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes. It took several months from the time I requested the book from the library until it came it. Lots of people were in line before me to read it. It was absolutely worth the wait!

Just read a debut novel and it was very good - women's fiction

Starting

I'm reading The Shiningand Station Eleven as I'm in a spooky October mood :)

Gray Mountain

Happy to be reading the 4th book in the Rock Harbor series ! In fact, I am reading two really good books right now (the first one I mentioned above)!

Reading . About half into it and can't put it down.

I'm currently reading When Calls the Heart

Elizabeth wrote: "I'm currently reading When Calls the Heart"

Looks like a good one!

Not that far into it, but it is good so far. I wanted to read some yesterday, but circumstances just disn't allow it. Hopefully today!

Well my reading list changes quickly because I have been very into comics and mangas (Japanese comics) recently. I finish those in a day or two. But at this second I am reading Cress, Wicked Appetite, Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 22 and Saiyuki, Volume 2... and just this morning I finished Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass & Sorcery which was awesome! Such a fun comic hehehe

I hear you. I feel like that often. I plan to finish a book that evening and end up getting hardly any reading done:(

The Light Between Oceans by M L Stedman,
our monthly book club pick.

Today I started listening to . It's taking awhile to get into, but it's getting better. I've loved most of her other books, so I'm willing to give this more of a chance.

Reading and .

Read Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good by Jan Karon. Loved it. It is a feel good book in a world filled with chaos

I have that on my mp3 player. It'll be nice to catch up with the characters, like a comfy visit home.

I'm currently reading by Sarah Jio I have never read anything by this author and I'm pleasantly pleased with it. I've only got about 5 chapters left. The book moves along quickly. The story is about two woman, and every other chapter is about one of them. It's easy to keep track of what is going on in each of their lives. There is a little mystery to it as to what actually happened to Vera's son on that horrible that a snow storm hits Seattle on May 2, 1933. I would highly recommend this book.

I'm currently listening to Bones Never Lie. I think the somber mood is getting to me.

I'm nearly finished listening to   The Elephant Whisperer and am enjoying it far more than I thought I would.

Finished reading and I'm moving on to by Lisa See

I am reading Bitter Greens by L. Forsyth and am finding it very good so far.

Just starting The Kentucky Derby: How the Run for the Roses Became America's Premier Sporting Event by James C. Nicholson

Halfway finished reading by Stuart Woods.

Just finished .
Now starting .
