I love comic books. Yes, I'm 34 years old. This book is like a comic book, but better. And cheaper in terms of dollars per minute."

Good to know I was thinking of giving this book to my grandson who enjoys comic books.

Londa -

Are you enjoying Bellman & Black? I have been on the fence about reading this book.

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

Londa, what do you think of the book theif? I am considering that book for the next couple of months.

[Londa]

Beverly.. I enjoyed it until about the 50% mark, then I started to get bored waiting for the sinister element to show up. I'll let you know if the last 25% of the book makes it all worth it.

Kisha.. I love the Book Thief! I am sitting at a 4.5 right now. It definitely lives up to all the hype. I will probably finish next week for a final review.

[Londa]

Beverly -- Bellman & Black was a disappointment. I gave it a 2** https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Just started The Golem and the Jinni

? Everyone raved about it so was anxious for her second book.

[Andrew]

I have just started The Haitian Revolution by Toussaint L'Ouverture. This book contains some of his letters and speeches.

[Cinzia]

I'm finishing Jimmie Barnes Kindle Edition . I got it free on Amazon! I must say that it's really an amazing book. Jimmie Barnes is a 130 years old slave that has been fighting all his life to get back the 40 acres which were given to his father at the end of the Civil War. He meets presidents, corrupted politicians, people who want to destroy him and people who love him.
The book also introduces the idea of a 'Black Holocaust' ... a now concept for me I must say but I find it really intriguing! I'd like to discuss it with my classes at school. Do you know anything else about it that can help me?

[Beverly]

My current audio book is:



The Last Warner Woman by Kei Miller

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

Cinzia that's sounds good. I think I may download it myself. Black Holocaust? Not very familiar but interested.

I gave The Thirteenth Tale 3 ***
I enjoyed it, but the main character really irritated me. Didn't find her 'driving motivation/tragic backstory' all that compelling or believable. A lot of people really loved it though. For me, I think I am done with Setterfield.

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

Gone Girl byGillian Flynn and I can't believe it's taken me so long to get serious about this book. I don't know how many times I've started and always put it down by or before page 60! The twists and turns omg so overwhelming (in a good way).

[Momreadstoomuch]

Gone Girl made me realize that I can not like any of the characters of a book a still love a book. I like her style of having these horrible characters tell you a story. I have The Night Women on my to read list. So many good ideas on this blog.

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

The Book of night women is a really good one. definitely one of my favorites.

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

I am currently reading Glorious by Bernice McFadden and The Book Theif.

[Ronald]

I am currently reading Black Water Rising by Attica Locke

[Dustin]

I just started Life of Pi last night. I'm diggin it so far!

[Beverly]

The Secret History of Las Vegas: A Novel by Chris Abani

Splendid is the word that comes to mind while reading.

[Lulu, The Book Reader who could.]

I'm currently reading "Getting To Happy" by Terry McMillan.

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

I'm reading anthem by Ayn Rand. I read it years ago and I liked it. In still reading the Book Thief and to be honest I'm having a hard time getting into it. But I'm gonna keep pushing.

[Londa]

You know, I listened to The Book Thief on audio. I think it would make a big difference. The narrator was good and made 'Death' come to life ;)

I didn't like his voice for Liesel, but it wasn't a deal breaker.

[Londa]

Pushing through The Good Lord Bird. The 'western' dialect is not a fave of mine, but 'a little birdie' told me that Part 2 really picks up. Going to try and finish it this weekend

Just started Eye Spy. Proving to be a creepy weird read. Just the way I like 'em

Just finished The Golem and the Jinni and immediately added it to my favorites list. Loved it and am sad it's over.

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

That may be the motivation I need to finish. I will try it.

[Andrew]

I'm currently reading Orbiting Sins by Steve S. Grant.

[Lulu, The Book Reader who could.]

I'm reading THE FIRM by John Grisham

[Londa]

I just thought about it, but I imagine all the German words and phrases might slow you down too. Thanks to the narrator, I know how to say several swear words in perfect German. LOL

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

Yes! The German is hard to follow. It's just gonna be a slow read so audio would likely speed it up a bit.

[Beverly]

I am currently reading:

Padre!: A Place Whose Rules Rearrange Your Own by Raven Moore - a BOM read for online book club

Shovel Ready: A Novel by Adam Sternbergh - debut novel - part dystopian fiction/part noirish mystery -

Henry and Rachel by Laurel Saville - buddy read with a group of friends

Slavery's Exiles: The Story of the American Maroons by Sylviane A. Diouf - learning about a part of (Black) American history that has not been much of a focus.

[Andrew]

I've just started Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord.

[Veronica]

I am currently reading 2 different types of books, both on different ends of the spectrum.... and .

Kisha- I love Ayn Rand! I haven't read Anthem yet, though. I'm sorry you're struggling with The Book Thief..

[Dustin]

I'm currently reading as part of a group read, and . I'm really liking both!!

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

I finally finished reading The Book Thief! It took way too long but I absolutely love it! Definitely Five stars. Now I'm reading Passing. Though I really wanna let TBT simmer for awhile but I said no more book hiatus so I'm reluctantly starting a new one.

[Lee]

Yay! I'm coming. 10%

[Lulu, The Book Reader who could.]

I want to attempt reading more than one book at once...but I'm afraid. LOL

[kisha, The Clean Up Lady]

Lulu, I'm with you. I'm not good at it. I always end up neglecting the ones that are less interesting. But I'm gonna try because I've committed myself to way too many books for February lol.

Lee if you don't get pass that 10% lol. It's a slow read for about the first half of the book but then it picks up tremendously from there. It took me two weeks to read it.

[Lee]

Hahaha @Kisha.

I always read at least 2 books at a time Lulu, you should try it.

[Lulu, The Book Reader who could.]

I think I'm going to when I finish this book I'm currently on Lee!

[Beverly]

Lulu wrote: "I think I'm going to when I finish this book I'm currently on Lee!"

It works best for me if the books are not in the same genre or are different in some way.

And once you get use to 2 books than you can move on to 3 at the same time :)

[Londa]

Reading David Copperfield as my before bed book. Should take me a month

Still pushing through The Good Lord Bird. HAVE to finish by Saturday. Book is due and can't renew because so many others have holds.

About to re-read Kindred

[Beverly]

I am getting ready to start and

[Phyllis | Mocha Drop]

by Phillip Margolin.

[Andrew]

I'm reading When Gods Bleed by Njedeh Anthony

[Lulu, The Book Reader who could.]

Worthy Brown's Daughter is also at the top of my list. I saw there was an author's profile in PW about the research he did for this book as it is based on a true court case and revolves around race relations in 19th century Oregon.

[Lulu, The Book Reader who could.]

I think I'm going to start the Alex Cross series. I've seen the movies, but never read the books.
