Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Donna - I see, that makes sense. I feel that way sometimes about books, too.

So I am reading Forever and it's kinda depressing and happy all the same. I mean, it's sad because I miss that feeling but it's happy because i remember those feelings. It just goes to prove that I am getting old LOL

LOL! We all have our guilty little pleasures in reading. It can't all be profound tomes of great insight. We got to have our fluff, too.

Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Now I am reading:
The Last Boleyn: A Novel by Karen Harper about Mary Boleyn, for my Tudor group,

Claude & Camille: A Novel of Monet by Stephanie Cowell because my son Joe, who paints has done a few Monet copies, and has taught me to love the work of both Claude Monet and his friends Renoir and Camille-Pissaro.

Twisted by Andrea Kane with a buddy for one of my groups.

Gave up on Wolf Hall - Hilary Mantel. Didn't feel it grabbing me and understanding the story. So now I am listening to Sundays At Tiffany's - James Patterson.

I am now going to start The Crime of Father Amaro. I recently saw that it became a movie with my love Gael Garcia Bernal, so I decided to read the book then watch the film.

It might be ok for you Donna, I just don't do Historical Fiction. BUT a few friends have said that its not what u think. Maybe u ought to have a read and see what u think x


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Donna - Most of my historical fiction reading friends have given Wolf Hall really good ratings. I have it here to read, but like most of my "owned" books, it is waiting for me to get caught up on my library books.

Since I last posted I have read:

We Won The Lottery - Danny Buckland, Hello Mum - Bernadine Evaristo and Life's Too Short - Val McDermid

Now I am about to read Money Magic - Alvin Hall

Long time no write! I just finished up on Night Soldiers a few days back and am on to Suite Française. My reading is very slow these days due to the ol' baseball/softball season amongst all else.

On the subject of Palahniuk. I like what I've read from him, particularly Diary. This one was dark and disturbing but in different ways than, say, Choke. I was blown away when I watched Fight Club. Even though I like his books, I've gotten to the point where I am not jumping over bookshelves to get to the next one. I think he is much to take even for my mind. I'm not sure which one I will pick up next.

Yeah, I just brought Invisable Monsters so...??? But I feel the same way, Jeremy, I am not really "jumping over the bookshelves".


message 678: by [deleted user] (new)

Maybe I will make Invisible Monsters my next one. It just won't be for awhile!

Anna Anderson (annaanderson) | 130 comments I am currently reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and so far I love it. I have been wanting to read it for forever, so I started it this morning and I am glad I did so.

I have been meaning to read that one for so long that I'm embarrassed for myself. I have it on my "must read this summer" list.

You will love it! It is a wonderful story, so descriptive and full of everyday life in Brooklyn in the early 1900's. I am almost finished and I do not want it to end! I have already decided that it will definitely be a re-read for me in the future.

OK I am crossing my fingers that I will be done with City of Bones tonight! I can't belive it took me almost 11 days to rea this! I blame it on school and weddings LOL!


message 686: by Karla (new)

Karla (bookarita) | 86 comments I read that whole series Donna in a week and a half...LOL! tou have to live outside the books sometimes just happens. Its taking me forever to make a dent in Dragonfly in amber I read 20 pages and fall asleep these past couple of weeks!

I've been struggling with DIA too Karla, but now the story is getting really good, and I'm having a hard time putting it down, so stick with it girlfriend. I hear the 3rd book is awesome, so I'm plowing through so I can get to Voyager :)

I am loving the book it is taking me longer than usual because of various events but I am determined to finish it tonight!


message 689: by Karla (new)

Karla (bookarita) | 86 comments I'm hearing that also I want to get to Voyager so bad! It may be a reward for me after some group reads though. The story is wonderful but sometimes it gets to dragging a bit with all the political war background and I get the Duke, Charles and jacobites ect; confused with me being so tired. Summers wearing me out! I have more kids here during the day and they fight like mad. I just get mentally drained.

I haven't read the book yet and it is like #7 on my list so hopefully I will get to it rather quickly. I still got to read Honolulu!

Anna Anderson (annaanderson) | 130 comments I just finished Mistress of the Art of Death and last night I started on The Ghost of Hannah Mendes.

OK. I am finishing up on City of Bones and will get onto Life as we Knew it and Titan's Curse. These are YA's so they should move quickly


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) This morning I started One for the Money by Janet Evanovich.


message 694: by Anna (new)

Anna Anderson (annaanderson) | 130 comments I am currently reading The Ghost of Hannah Mendes and I am just curious as to if anyone else has read this book. I just have a few questions that I would like to discuss! Just let me know!

I just started The Titan's Curse.


message 696: by Jen (new)

Jen (nekokitty) | 339 comments I'm reading The Red Pyramid and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest right now - the only problem is that The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is an audio book (it's 20 or 22 cds) so it's going to take FOREVER to finish... I want to know what happens! I've been listening to the first two Millennium books, and have been so absorbed in them. If anyone's considering this series, do consider the audio book if you're also an audio book person - I REALLY like the narrator. He does so many voices, and does them soooo well.


message 697: by Anna (new)

Anna Anderson (annaanderson) | 130 comments I finished The Ghost of Hannah Mendes aand started The Tea Rose, which is supposed to be really good. Of course it is another Historical Fiction...I just cannot get away from them!

As I never finished Succubus Shadows - Richelle Mead last nite for May's reads, just finished that for June. Now I am gonna carry on reading Worst Case - James Patterson.


message 699: by [deleted user] (new)

right now my hubby and I are "fighting over" A Preferred Blur: Reflections, Inspections, and Travel in All Directions by Henry Rollins, it is ironic when I read something that he is into. We now fight over Henry Rollins and Kevin Smith! I wonder who will be next?

I am also dividing my time between a couple of books, when school finishes on the 15th (for me) I will be making up for "lost time"

It's funny, and I have no idea why, but I really dislike Henry Rollins. My husband thinks it's funny cuase I can't explain why LOL but I sdo love Kevin Smith!
