_The Glass Castle_ is an amazing (and shocking) book. Everyone in my long-standing book club was glad we read it.

I also was reading it for a book club that is meeting on April 16th - can't wait to discuss it.

I stayed up late last night to finish it and I just loved it but I agree, it IS shocking.

I have three grown daughters and I want all of them to read it - any time a kid complains how rough they have it their parent should give them that book to read.

I was so angry at her parents - I cannot fathom how people bring children into this world and then are so selfish. Her parents never once put the welfare of their children first - truly horrible.

[Angela M]

The River of No Return - will start today.

[Robyn]

Thank you Lorrea, I will keep that one in my to read list

I read those back to back too. Then I read I Am Mary Sutter. It was my strong woman movement!!"

The Kitchen House is one of my favorites!

[Beth]

I also thought the kitchen house was really good.

[Robyn]

The Kitchen House kept my interest throughout.

Glad you enjoyed it.

[Lela]

Reading The Golem & the Jinn. Just started & think I'm gonna love it. What do you think? Also reading The Pomegranate Lady and Her Sons - a wonderful book of stories translated from Persian. & written by Goli Taraghi.

[Liis]

Finished The Goldfinch - definitely a good read. It's a 771 page book, might drag some spots, but otherwise keeps you going all the way :) 4 stars

[Angela M]

Liis,
So glad you liked The Goldfinch . It is one of my favorites .

[B the BookAddict]

Picture me skipping with delight! I start Outlander #2 Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon today.

[May]

The Goldfinch is on my TO READ Lost. I'm so glad that so many of you liked it. I think I should move it higher up the list.

I just finished "A Woman's Choice", the story of a young girl who immigrated from Ireland to NYC w her mother. The story shares her dreams and challenges as grows up. I really enjoyed it. Perfect for the plane trip!

[Liis]

I'm taking a little pause now from reading - I need to finish my cross-stitch :)

But my next book is going to be The Luminaries

Perhaps we can do it as a Buddy Read at some point. I know right now I am backed up on books I have to read but maybe at the end of April.

That would be great! Let me know when everyone wants to begin :) :)

[Liis]

I have to return it to the library by April 21st.
I have heard that so may people stop reading it, it's complicated and boring.. so I'm afraid to pick it up :D

I would love to do a buddy read on Luminaries. End of April or some time around then would be great, so I too can request from
Library and not sure how long the wait is. My reading is list is pretty full until next month anyway.

[Icewineanne]

The library wait in our city, for either The Luminaries or The Goldfinch, is a long one. That's why I decided to pre-ordered pb copies of both. Plus I hate carrying around a huge HB - don't you?

The books are both due to be released soon. I can't wait to begin reading them!!

I am also on the waiting list at the library for Goldfinch. I read so many good review about it, and can't wait to get my hands on the book!

My review is at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."

That's on my to read list! After reading your review I better move it up on my list and read it soon.

[Lela]

I really liked Gone Girl, too, but some of my friends (GR and not) didn't like the ending at all! I don't know why exactly. It worked for me.

[Jo]

You definitely should move it up the list. I loved it. Not usually my genre but I went straight from this to a Linwood Barclay and then a Sophie Hannah. It's a hard act to follow

[Beth]

Gone Girl is a great story - I couldn't put it down and recommend that everyone who has not read it yet, reads it.

[Liis]

Everyone are talking about Gone Girl so many good things.. I guess I have to join Sara and pick it up soon :)

[May]

Hi, Lela, I'm one of those readers you just referred to. Loved the book, it had me enthralled , could not put it down. Then I got to the ending. I was so incredibly disappointed!!!
I felt like we, the readers, had been led on & sold out.

[Lela]

Yeah, I can see that. There was some cop out but I still liked it.

[Lela]

May, did you read Winter's Tale? That ending wasn't my favorite and neither was And the Mountains Echoed. WT was just a let down. ATME left me scratching my head. Seemed like the author just rushed through it because he wasn't sure how to end! I normally really love his writing so I was confused & disappointed.

[Lela]

How is Frog Music? I have it on my list but not sure if I need to hurry & get it!

[May]

Lela,
I have not read "A Winter's Tale". However, I agree with you re the ending of

[May]

Oops, hit the wrong button... I also was disappointed in "And The Mountains Echoed". However, I loved the first two especially the "Kite Runner". So, ATME was a real let down.

[Icewineanne]

Wow - you're really ahead of the curve. This just came out this week in hardcover. Good for you, can't wait for your review as she is one of my favorites!
Happy reading :) :)

Don't think you need to hurry and get it.

[Liis]

Sorry, girls, but I'm out doing buddy read for The Luminaries - I have tried to read it couple of times and I just can't get into it and I don't wanna waste my time on 800+ pages book just to realize I could have read something way more interesting.

[Cathy]

I just downloaded The Luminaries from the library onto my Kindle. I'm in for the buddy read!
