I just completed it and it was so touching and amazing and I loved how in the midst of serious stuff he gave a quirky sense of humor to the characters too.

I just now finished Anne LaMott's Hallelujah Anyway. She has always been one of my favorite writers because she writes with brutal honesty.Now I am starting Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat for my Nature Bookclub at the local consertation Center.
I just finished The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and al-Ghazali Wonders of the Heart translated by Walter James Skellie. Currently reading Beat Depression Fast by Alexandra Massey :)

I am also a big fan of Anne Lamott! And I loved that book.
Someone recently said s/he was reading or reviewed a book where a musician was the main character. I cannot find that thread today & cannot remember the book. Can anyone help??

I'm reading Orange Is the New Black. I love the TV show and the book is no disappointment either. So good!
One of the books I am currently reading is Final Notice. It is the Book of the Month on OnlineBookClub.org.
I’m reading “All American Murder” by James Patterson and listening to the audiobook “You” by Caroline Kepnes.

Hey Angela, Have you read Princess trilogy By Jean Sasson ? It's a wonderful book. I suggest you to read that. It's non fiction.

Sounds a bit overwhelming!

I suppose it depends on what you are looking for, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming! The first book we read was a middle grade novel about a girl with dyslexia. This was still peppered with humor and great characters. The book we are reading now is a nonfiction book about the author's journey with bipolar disorder and her use of lithium (still peppered with humor) plus these are all informative insights into how people live, cope, and succeed in life with their own abilities and differences!

Orphan Train is my current read. Already halfway through and enjoying it very much. Heartbreaking story though.
