Ang, sorry about the headaches! that's so annoying. I've heard butterbur helps with migraines but I haven't tried it myself. It's like headaches get in the way of the words, right?

Slow to the discussion, but am sitti ng here in the quiet of the early morning contemplating my to be read list. I have set aside Random Acts Of Kindness for next month's read.....so, now what to choose. Looking back through the discussion, Little Girl Lost looks good. I have The Boy in the Wooden Box by Elisabeth Leyson, The Kings Favor by Elizabeth Chadwick, and The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley....other suggestions?

I really enjoyed Little Girl Lost. The writer is from Northern Ireland and his books are now being published one by one in the US. The second in this series, "Someone You Know," just came out here last week. Unlike a lot of crime thrillers, the main character is female and her cases mostly revolve around children. It is well-written and I enjoyed learning some of the Irish lingo! I have just started the second one, but haven't gotten very far.

Thanks for the input

Hi April how are those precious girls doing?

Hmm you..."

Hi Deb! Glad to hear you had a great day on your birthday. The girls are doing great. Madison just started the summer reading program at the library and Olivia just turned eight months old last week. She just got two teeth in and has now learned to crawl all over the house! Needless to say she's keeping me busy chasing her around! :)

[Ang from OZ]

My copy of "Air Bound" by Christine Feehan arrived today. This is the third book in the "Sister of the Heart" series.

[Debbie]

April glad to hear the girls are doing well. I guess you won't be sitting still for a few years :)

Ang, I'm jealous. I used to have time to read all my favorite authors and Christine Feehan used to be on that list. Let us know how you liked it.

I loved Conversion by Katherine Howe. I truly enjoy her writing. Definitely put it on your list. I did get to start Blood Country by Logue, very good mystery.

[Debbie]

I just started The Friendship Pact by Tara Taylor Quinn

very good!

Still plogging through "Meridian". ugh.

Pamela wrote: "Still plogging through "Meridian". ugh."

Oh I hate those. Hope it either gets better or maybe it's time to close the book on Meridian.

[Pamela]

I usually bail on books I struggle with but I want to know Meridian's story. The story is not very cohesive and hard to follow. This is one book that could have benefited from a good editor.

[Ang from OZ]

Not much reading going on for me, in the process of setting up a reading nook in my home. Comfy reading couch purchased today. I'm excited!!

Oh Ang how great. I LOVE my personal library/office/reading room/santuary I turned an unused bedroom into. It's my go-to room to think, write and read.
Congrats!! on yours

Well Susan cats need a reading room too :)

[Debbie]

I finished The Friendship Pact look for my review and my author interview tomorrow on the blog. This interview was supposed to happen in February but I had recently got a new email service at work and missed that she sent the Q&A back to me, so better late then never :). The author Tara Taylor Quinn has survived some tragic adversities in her own life. I love the way she tells a story and is a very diverse author, her novel Behind Closed Doors is still my very favorite about hate crimes and is closely related to two other novels, At Close Range and In Plain Sight. Chilling and thrilling.

Now I'm on to The Winter Guest it's a September Mira release that they have requested an early review for. Second World War in Poland, so far can't put it down!

[Debbie]

Susan wrote: "I have finished Sweet Water, The last 3 books that I have read were page turners, I am now reading Belong to Me. I hope this one is just as good."

Fingers crossed :)

[Pamela]

Gave up on "Meridian"--SO wanted to read an Alice Walker book. Now I've picked up Skylark Farm. I have never heard of this one before so it should be interesting (I tend to like those "off the beaten path" books) as it is translated from Italian.

Susan I have a cat also, and she thinks the new reading couch is for her!! Still waiting on shelving to get installed so only half way there...

I just finished Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner. What a fun read! All thinks to the recommendation of Susan(vtcozy). It had been sitting on my nook and I wanted a light, fun read. This book really delivered. Who wouldn't like a soccer mom demon hunter?

Oh My A Demon hunter soccer mom, what a great premise. Thanks for the shout out Luanne and gotta love Suze for finding the must reads!!

I'm just starting The Sea House, so far can't put it down. This will be my last personal choice until all my September requirements are in plus LibraryJournal wants me to review Sandra Browns upcoming novel too. LOL Need more hours in the day, or here's an idea lets win the lottery and I can retire!

[Ruth]

I am reading an oldie but a goodie: "Mary Poppins"! Who knew there were 4 kids in the Banks household? Apparently everyone who has read the book, I suppose...

Ruth what a great blast from the past. I didn't read the book so I never knew there were 4 kids either :)

Oh My TarHeelGirl, nothing like a little light reading. I guess I have nothing to talk about as my weekend reading included

for my in person book club meeting tonight

[Luanne]

I am reading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. This one is a detective psychological book so far, about halfway through book now. I love it so far.
Mr. Mercedes

Thanks for sharing Luanne, I know you're a King Fan. I enjoy some of his novels, my favorite by far is 11/22/63. Did you like that one?

Yes 11/22/63 was a great book. So much history and King did a good job of capturing the era and the mood of that time. Another favorite of mines is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.

My weekend read is Samurai Game by Christine Feehan

[[deleted user]]

I finished One Last Kiss: The Chilling True Story of a Cheating Husband Who Murdered His Wife and Children over the weekend. Now I've switched back to fiction and am reading Defending Jacob by William Landay‎. I thought I'd fit this one in before our group read.

TarHeelGirl thanks for sharing. Was the true crime tale hard to read?

[April]

I'm just beginning Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline.

Debbie wrote: "TarHeelGirl thanks for sharing. Was the true crime tale hard to read? "

It's just mind blowing that a father could do such a thing to his wife and two sons. It was a horrific tragedy and that made it an emotional read, but the author presented it in a very informative style.

I recently read Sweet Water by the same author. It seems some people like Orphan Train better. Let us know what you think.

OMG TarHeelGirl I just realized this was The Chris Coleman story, that was local for me. I'm in the St. Louis Metro area. It was chilling, unbelievable, sad and unfathomable too

[Ang from OZ]

Goodness, that books sounds scary to me!! I'm still making my way through Christine Feehan's Samurai Game, its starting to get interesting now. Not a lot of reading time over the weekend, as it was shelving and sorting my books. Everyone I'll post some pictures soon if you're interested?

[[deleted user]]

Definitely interested in seeing the pictures.

[Debbie]

Yes definitely pictures :)

[Ang from OZ]

Its so nice that everyone is as excited about my reading area as me and for that I thank you all. Most of my in-person friends aren't readers so they just don't understand. Promise I'll post pics soon! And Susan I'll be sure to get one of the fat cat on the couch :)
