Yay, I hope I get to read both of these in December. I've had Never Let Me Go on my shelf for awhile now, so it will be a good impetus for me to go on and read it. I have also wanted to read Moore's book.

I just finished two Louis Bayard books, The Black Tower and The Pale Blue Eye A Novel, and loved them both. I'm now reading Uglies by Scott Westerfield, one I've been meaning to read for some time.

So glad you enjoyed The Girls, KarenLee. It is one of my favorites of all time.
Just finished The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland and loved it. The next few coming up are:The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
Uglies
The Black Tower
Finished The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland and loved it! Tonight I'll start The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley.
Yesterday I started The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland, and I think it's going to be a good one. I read her previous book, Company of Liars and really liked it.
Renata wrote: "I agree with recommendation for Owl Killers - I just read it and loved it."I was trying to decide whether or not to start Owl Killers today, and your praise for it helped me to decide to start turning its pages. Thanks, Renata. (I have read Maitland's book, Company of Liars and really enjoyed it.)
I'm reading A Touch of Dead, Charlaine Harris' short story collection of all of her Sookie short stories.

Loved Shiver and have now started an English mystery, From Doon with Death The First Inspector Wexford Novel.

Loved that book. "
I, also, loved that book. It kept me sane last winter during our horrible ice storm and its after effects.

Amanda, I'm about 100 pages in and, so far, I really like it.

LOL!
Jeane wrote: "After a for sure more than half a year super push from Fiona I am reading her I Capture the Castle"Whenever I see my unread copy of I Capture the Castle, Jeane, I feel the ghost of Fiona hovering over my shoulder chanting, "read, read, read."

Writerlibrarian, Joyce can be a bit on the depressing side (yes, an understatement to be sure), and she hits her stride in the Mulvaneys. I disliked this book because I was so frustrated with the characters and was left just wanting to jump off a cliff (okay, a slight exaggeration). I think with any Oates novel, one has to gauge the depressive level and determine how much you can stand. I love her writing, and The Falls was excellent, but I sometimes hesitate to recommend her because of the depressive nature of her books. I guess what I'm saying is I wouldn't recommend her to someone who was chronically depressed. LOL (not laughing at the condition, but at the irony)
Ann wrote: "I've just started The Gravedigger's Daughter--it's my first book by Joyce Carol Oates. Ohter recommendations for books she has written?"Ann, I really enjoyed The Falls A Novel by Oates. I've thought about reading The Gravedigger's Daughter. I'd love to hear what you think of it after you've finished it.
Cathy wrote: "Thanks to whoever recommended the book My Enemy's Cradle by Sara Young. A really good book about how the Nazi's encouraged young mothers to have babies for the Third Reich. It was a great story wit..."I have My Enemy's Cradle but haven't read it yet. I'm moving it up on the list.
