Alice Poon (alice_poon) | 165 comments I finished Antigone by Jean Anouilh, which I enjoyed very much; 4 stars. My Review

Currently reading The Confessions of Catherine de Medici. The time frame of this novel follows closely that of Blood & Beauty: The Borgias, so it gives me a sense of continuity.

J. (jdrew) | 153 comments I am reading Magic Shifts which turns out to be book 8 in the series not book 1 that I thought it was because I was looking at the list backwards. So far it has been good and there has been only one place where I was lost because I hadn't read the earlier books and that got fixed shortly thereafter.

message 573: by Anthony (new)

Anthony Whitt | 36 comments Bone Dry (A Blanco County Mystery #2) by Ben Rehder It's a light easy read about a game warden's involvement in a murder investigation. Takes place in the Texas Hill Country and does a good job giving you a feel for the personalities that call that area home, like I do.

message 578: by Michael (new)

Michael Puttonen (mput) | 37 comments Better late than never, I guess. Just read Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park for the first time and found it an entertaining read, despite knowing the story from the film. The upcoming HBO series, Westworld, triggered my renewed interest in Crichton, reminding me that years ago I had viewed and enjoyed the original Westworld movie, made in 1973, written and directed by Crichton. Currently, I am reading Enemy of God, the second book of Bernard Cornwell’s marvelous three-book series, The Warlord Chronicles, a unique re-imagining of the King Arthur legend. I had read the first book in the series, The Winter King, several years ago and for some reason had never finished the series. Well, as I said, better late than never.

Alice Poon (alice_poon) | 165 comments Since my last update (message #568), I finished reading The Confessions of Catherine de Medici. My Review.

I've also read Hypatia of Alexandria, which is a non-fiction account of the life and times of Hypatia, the 4th century female scholar and philosopher who was brutally murdered by a mob. It was the movie "Agora" that spurred me to read about her.

My Review

*Shrugs* I spend a lot of time reading. Plus, as I mentioned in my post, several were really short books.

message 596: by Sabrina (new)

Sabrina (sabrinafedel) | 5 comments I just finally read The Secret Life of Bees, which I thought was pretty well written. It didn't quite live up to the hype, but that's always a high standard. I'm still reading The Golden Yarn by Cornelia Funke, but it's been interrupted by some adult books I needed to read for the World Lit class I'm teaching and for a couple of nonfiction titles. But what I've read so far of The Golden Yarn I have really liked.


message 597: by Pearl (new)

Pearl Kirkby | 13 comments I usually read a book a day during my writing breaks, so I just finished 6 since last Saturday. I'm back to writing, so I started on "A Smile in One Eye...a tear in the other" by Ralph Webster a few days ago (a fairly long book). Very good memoir so far, and I have great faith that I will sigh with deep satisfaction by the time I've finished!

People keep recommending The Secret Life of Bees to me, and I was worried that it would be a disappointment, but that's reassuring to hear. I'll keep it on my TBR list to read at some point!
