Finished The Dirty Book Club which was a so good chick-lit book and I have now been reading Wish You Were Here.

My hard luck. Again, a loser of a book. I am reading Night Watch
by Sergei Lukyanenko. It is so slow moving and confusing. (Well, this was a freebie.) I go a chapter more and then I most likely will quit.
I am currently enjoying a mystery by one of the grande dames of mystery, Mary Roberts Rinehart. The Man in Lower Ten
I started and finished reading Debbie Macomber's newest Christmas story:

I just started this last night.
Can't quite figure out what the main point is...I'm sort of thinking there might be a surprise ending.

Have a friend who read this last month and she said it was really good.

During World War II, Germany destroyed more than one hundred million books between May 1933 and the end of the war through public book/library burnings and bombings (one bombing raid on London wiped out 19 publishing firms in one day). By contrast, the United States, through their Armed Services Editions, printed and distributed 120 million books to our service members, and also arranged to have bundles of popular magazines distributed to the troops in order to boost morale. This was a fascinating read about how the United States used books to combat Germany's "total war" (not only a physical war, but a war on freedom of the press and free thought), and how the GI Bill was born.
The back of the book includes both a list of authors banned by the Germans -- which included Americans such as Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, and Helen Keller -- but also a complete listing of the books published by the Armed Services Editions. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves books.

I'm still reading Wish You Were Here. I wish I were done. :(I keep waiting for a point, haven't come across one yet and this is after reading 400 pages. I'll finish it only because it's for my ftf book club but I know one member gave up at 250 pages. I don't blame him.
Code of Honor by Tonya Burrows 4-StarsEdge of your seat action had me reading through the night.

I've been seeing some really good reviews about this one. Hope you enjoy.
I'm currently reading Darwin's Ghosts by Rebecca Stott which is non-fiction. So far it is really good.
Now I'm reading The Boy on the Bridge which has been nominated in the horror category!! Zombies are not my favorite horror book but so far I really like this one.

Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King
Has anyone read this? This was sent to me for review.
Reading another in Jonathan Stroud's terrific ghost story/mystery series (Lockwood & Co.): The Empty Grave.
My listening to Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI for my ftf bc. Interesting.
I'm slowing making my way through the Duncan Kincaid & Gemma James series by Deborah Crombie. I've just started the 4th, Mourn Not Your Dead. I am loving these two characters and am very happy I have a long backlist to read through.

Last Friday I finished reading When Books Went to War: The Stories that Helped Us Win World War II by Molly Guptill Manning and loved it. During World War II, Germany destroyed more..."

I'll finish Secrets in Death by J.D. Robb this evening. I'm a little sad that I'm now caught up on this series. I really enjoyed it. It's been a while since I have read a long series like this almost straight through. At least there is one coming out in January. I guess it's back to the TBR pile to decide what to read next.

I enjoyed starting from book 1 and continued to read and read. I'm caught up and don't like the waiting. The audiobooks are great.
