Bam cooks the books (bamcooks) A Gentleman in Moscow. It has gotten such rave reviews that I'm eager to get into this one.

Update: excellent book! 5 stars: I highly recommend.

message 2804: by Julia (new)

Julia North | 12 comments I've just started reading Atomsed by Michel Houellebeck - excellent so far. Was reading 'The Casual Vacancy' by JK Rowling - well written and enjoyed some of it but could not really get into it as much as this one.

I've read the Alchemist by Paul Coelho . I liked the book.


message 2808: by Janet (new)

Janet | 2 comments I am currently reading Christopher's Diary: Echoes of Dollanganger. This book follows on from Christopher's Diaty: Secrets of Foxworth. I did enjoy the first book and I am equally engaged in this book so far. Anyone that read the Flowers in the Attic Series may be interested in reading theses books. Although I must warn they are not nearly as gripping as the original series.

All the feels- I stayed up til 4am last night because I had to finish it to see how it ended. I woke up with a major book hangover and bleary, red eyes.

message 2816: by Lia (new)

Lia Crawford (liacrawford) | 8 comments Currently reading The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle


message 2817: by Annie (new)

Annie B. (bigappleannie) | 18 comments Just finished The Trail of Broken Wings. It is about an Asian Indian Family living in the US. A heart wrenching story of family secrets that all but break the three daughters and mother. A bit of a surprise ending but hopeful. I highly recommend this one. I have read many books about the trials faced by Asian Indians who migrate to the US and have learned much about the culture, the food, the dress ... I could go on but suffice it to say that while enjoying the stories I learn quite a lot I would not otherwise know.

I'm reading it with some women from my family and then we are all going to see the movie together.

Christina Boodhan Juras (goodreadscomchrissycee) | 4 comments Lidoshka wrote: "I had to start reading "Hidden Figures" after seeing the movie, it's SO good"

I am going to see the movie tonight. Everyone told me the book might be easier to get into after seeing the movie. It sounds like a great and inspirational story but the book is heavy on the history, so much so that (a) I feel it could be two separate books, and (b) I bought the young readers' edition in the hopes that it will get to the heart of the story without so much background.

Hi Christina! How did you like the movie? Powerful, right? I agree, I'm glad I went to see the movie before reading the book, because since the movie doesn't give too much information about the characters' background outside of NASA, the book is really interesting and detailed. It does feel rushed at times, I'm right there with you. I want to know even more about these women, I'm going to look through some of the reports that they published. The math might go over my head, but oh well!
