2 books away from reaching my goal of 60 books for the year. I think combining audiobooks into the mix helps
Just finished Family Plot by Cherie Priest. Very great book. Full of suspense and mystery. Don't know if there is a movie version but if it is, it would be an awesome terrifying movie. Give it 5 stars.

I'm so excited for the movie too! I hope they stick to the book as much as possible!

Angie Thomas has been tweeting about the process, and she says she's happy with everything that's happened with production so far, so as long as she's happy, that's all that matters to me.

That's great news that they're making it into a movie. I can't wait to see it.

Hi my name is Jasmine from Iraq. I just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Sun. It’s an amazing book. Highly recommended for everyone to read.Currently, I started rereading the Harry Potter series! I haven’t read it in years. I’m half way through the first book. Hoping to finish all seven books by the end of the year.
Reading
... it's horrible lol ... It's like a 50 Shades for college girls. Don't recommend unless you want to spend a lot of time rolling your eyes like I have been.

How was it.
Jasmine, I agree with you about A Thousand Splendid Suns - it is amazing, but often very sad.Now I am reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, and The Bone People by Keri Hulme.
I am also still reading The Pocket Rumi - some beautiful poetry!
Just finished The Poisonwood Bible - heart-wrenching, funny at times...Starting Gloria Steinem's My Life on the Road.
Sonya wrote: "Salems lot by Stephen king"I read this so long ago, but still remember it as a favorite!
Just received my copy of WHEN GODS DIE by C.S.Harris via the Book Depositary!!! Can’t wait to start it. Think I need to wrap a few gifts before I curl up w this book...

I've just finished My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem, and have started Slouching Toward Bethlehem by Joan Didion..I loved My Life..., and am really looking forward to this 'new' one, which was published in the 60s...

(I'm working on a novel and have been asked to review a few others, so it's slow going!) Can you recommend another of Wolfe's?
