Love that dictionary too! in the past, I would sometimes skip over words just because I was too lazy to get up and get a dictionary, but with my Nook, I have definitely improved my vocabulary.

All the Light We Cannot See
My local library now loans e-books that are compatible with my Nook. After a long wait, my number finally came up for this one.

Yay you!

Picked up "Marked in Flesh" the fourth book in Anne Bishop's The Others Series. I can't put it down, probably the best series of books I have ever read! A big event has just happened in the story that even made me cry! It is one of those books you want to finish to see what happens, but then don't want to finish because then it will be over!

[Ruth]

I just got caught up in a series of books I have been binging for the last few months. Now I feel a bit bereft and unsure what to read next. I am sure I will figure it out.

I've heard a lot about this series Ang and all the reviews I've seen were really good too!
thanks for sharing

Ruth I've been right where you are and its really a bit deflating isn't it and then you're torn between trying to find another good series or getting a stand a lone. Good luck with the search!

[Debbie]

What's in store for your-


I've read two books due to publish in June one by Sarah Morgan, Sleepless in Manhattan and one by Emilie Richards, When We Were Sisters both great, both for RT Magazine, right now I'm knee deep into my series reviews.

[Debbie]

Right now I'm slipping in The Wright Brothers by David McDullough for my in-person discussion tomorrow night! Then its back to my month from Heck in reading LOL

[Christine]

I finished that JD Robb book and I really liked it

[Ruth]

I really enjoyed "The Wright Brothers", Deb. I have been trying to get a few non-fiction books in every year, and that one made the cut recently.

[Ruth]

Reading "Penderwicks in Spring" which is book 4 of the Penderwicks middle grades series. Such lovely writing from Jeanne Birdsall. My husband loves the series, too, and I just got my daughter reading it!

Yes Ruth and it wasn't too boring either. I'll never forget one biography I read about Lincoln's asasination and the subsequent hunt for Booth I think it was over 700 pages and it felt like it was 2000 LOL
We also read a great book last month non-fiction called The Invisible Girls it might be another for you to consider

[Kamas]

I finished Twenty Blue Devils this weekend. It's another Gideon Oliver mystery, this time centering on his friend John Lau's family and their coffee plantation in Tahiti. Good stuff. I've got one left on my Nook, Skeleton Dance, and then I think I'm done with the series for awhile unless more go on sale.

[[deleted user]]

I am reading The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz. I read and enjoyed the trilogy several years back and I was hesitant to read the new addition. So far it's an interesting premise, but not quite Stieg Larsson caliber.

[Ang from OZ]

I'm reading Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs. Finding it a bit boring, but I think I still have book hangover from the last book I read. Hot and humid today in OZ, going to finish watching season 5 of Lost Girl, then I might start season 5 of Game of Thrones.

[Ruth]

Reading "The Bassoon King" memoir by Rainn Wilson. I'm a little more than a third of the way through. Enjoying it, but I don't know how to take some of his jabs at the bassoon. I'm taking it all a bit too personally. LOL

[Kamas]

Just started Little Fuzzy. I'm finding it oddly prescient to our current political situation.

Here is the link to a free short story by Andy Weir for y'all to check out.

http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/anni...

It will only take a few minutes to read. I discovered this last night after a post from Donnajo and thought it was hilarious!

[Ruth]

Hilarious!!! I love Andy Weir!

[Ruth]

[Kamas]

That was GREAT!

No problem. Glad you liked it.

Oh I am so excited, today I'm sending off my last review for June and July publications that have kept me on my toes and off the web for the entire month of March. The last book was a doozy, the end of The Passage Trilogy by Justin Cronin, book two was 3 years ago book one 5years ago I don't know how I remembered it all but I did.
Now on to for pleasure only reading.

Does your reading change with the seasons? I know that during the holidays I love a good Christmas tale but what about the rest of the year? Does it bother you to read a book that takes place in the Winter when its really Spring where you are?

[Kamas]

It's not so much my reading that changes with the seasons, but rather the music I listen to. Christmas is obvious. But, around Easter I tend to start listening to Metallica more, specifically the song Creeping Death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5lXE...
When the weather turns warmer I tend to pop in more Joe Satriani, particularly his early albums like Surfing With the Alien, Flying In A Blue Dream, and The Extremist. Great for driving around with the windows open and the warm air flowing over you.

[Kamas]

Little Fuzzy was great. I then read the short story Status Quo by Mack Reynolds which was pretty good.

Today I started Angelbound for something different.

[Ang from OZ]

Angelbound, sounds like something I would like Kamas, interested to hear what you think! I might add it to my to be read pile!

[[deleted user]]

I do like to get in a Christmas book in December and right now I'm leaning toward a baseball book soon!

A lot of times, though, what I pick to read depends on how hectic my life is! When things are real busy, I'm more apt to read a cozy mystery or something light-hearted. When things slow down, I am quicker to grab something deeper.

[Ruth]

I am trying to binge-read "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket. What a hoot! I read about one a day or so.

While I wait for one of them to become available, I am reading the middle-grades charmer, "The Cheshire Cheese Cat: A Dickens of a Tale." I bought it a couple of Christmases ago for my kids, but they didn't seem as taken by it as I was. Oh, well!

I am also reading "A Tyranny of Petticoats" 15 stories of belles, bank robbers and other badass girls. Fantastic!

[Ang from OZ]

I wouldn't say I am a season inspired reader, I read whatever whenever really. But I do like some kind of Christmas Story at that time of the year. We don't get a really cold winter where I live in OZ, it's just hotter than hell hot, then not so hot lol!

[Debbie]

Thanks for sharing all!
I too pick books according to what's going on in my life, and while I love thrillers I have to be in the right frame of mind to read the especially bloody ones.

I just finished reading Sarah Morgan's upcoming
Emilie Richards upcoming
and last and one of the best endings to a trilogy I ever read


right now for pleasure, sigh, finally I'm reading


next is

[Christine]

Started reading "Where Nobody Knows Your Name: Life in the Minor Leagues of Baseball" by John Feinstein.

Susan wrote: "Needed something to read, went to library and found Go Set A Watchman. So exicted cant wait to start it."

Let us know how you like it. I want to read that one too!

[Lisa]

Ooh I've heard so many controversial things about Go Set A Watchman ... Can't wait to hear what u think

[Kamas]

Just finished Angelbound. I don't think I'll search out any more in the series. Too much teen angst and questionable vocabulary for me. Time to go look for something else to read.

[Ang from OZ]

Questionable vocabulary?? Sounds interesting, Kamas!

[Ruth]

I was wondering the same thing, Ang. ;)

[[deleted user]]

I wondered about that too, but after reading his review I understood.

[Ang from OZ]

Ah, now i have read the review i understand Kamas.

Just starting "Fellside" by M.R. Carey, I really loved his previous novel "The girl with all the gifts" I had serious book hangover when i read it.

[[deleted user]]

Reading the next one in the Body Farm series by Jefferson Bass.

[Debbie]

So what's on your weekend reading plate
I'm going to start The Bishop's Wife for my in-person book club on Monday night
Have you read it! What did you think?

I haven't read it. I just read some of the reviews and it will be interesting to see what you think. Some loved it, but quite a few rated it fairly low. It says it is inspired by a true crime, but is it fiction?
