I love Anna Karenina - I should read War and Peace, too!

Finised reading Outlander on my Kindle this morning. Loved it. I've seen the series on DVD, but it didn't spoil my reading of the book. At times I could hear the actors who play the main parts voices in my head as I was reading.

It's been a GREAT year (so far) for Books:

The Last Carousel of Provence by Juliet Blackwell

Love Letters Home: Love in a Time of War (1942-1945) by
Chapman Deering

The Myth of Perpetual Summer by Susan Crandall

Love and Ruin by Paula McLain

Sons of Blackbird Mountain by Joanna Bischof

Flickering Treasures: Rediscovering Baltimore’s Forgotten Movie
Theaters by Amy Davis

It Was Me All Along by Andie Mitchell

The Mourning Parade by Dawn Rose Langely

After reading three excellent biographies on U.S. Grant over the spring (including Ron Chernow's compelling narrative), I'm eager to take on his personal memoirs.

Sounds great Jeff!!!

If you haven’t read anything by Marilyn French, you should add it to your list. Her topic is feminism and her books are timeless.

The Woman’s Room is such a great book! Her entire library is good.

This one is also #free on Amazon.As a 61 year old “old school feminist”,as well as a church history major, the “history” is as important as the present:

Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences 1815-1897: The Truly Intriguing and Empowering Life Story of the World Famous American Suffragist, Social Activist and Abolitionist

This is some heavy reading for sure!!!

I'm enjoying Broken Pride and its a pretty good read so far. I hope to get to The Stormy Petrel , The Boy on the Bridge , and The Dead Boyfriend next. These are books I got from my local library off my TBR list. Don't know which ones I'll read after those though. I'm enjoying the books I'm reading for my reading for pleasure challenge so far this year though.

Got a bit farther on Buddenbrooks. Gotten sidetracked by a NetGalley on “A Star is Born” while I was away for the weekend. Tried hard to get back into the audiobook I have been trying- and almost have given up on {The Violin Girl} while I have been enjoying “Confessions of a Transylvanian” by Kevin Weiss. If you’ve every been a Rocky Horror Picture Show “virgin” you will totally love this audiobook
