What are you reading March 2015

It is probably not a coincidence that doing my taxes made we want to consult a higher power. I am reading . Anne Lamott is my favorite "preacher" of accepting ourselves and others. It's a short book, and not her deepest, but it's still a good read. It's proving a welcome antidote to bookkeeping and tracking book sales.

A sign of the times or am I just getting old. I downloaded the Kindle version of because the print in the paper book was too small for me to read even with my glasses.

[Sue]

I've been having the same problem.

I finished A Little Life yesterday and am still reeling. Someone referred to it as an 'emotional thriller' in a review and I agree. It's so painful, but impossible to put down. You almost have to read it through your fingers with a hand covering your face.

I can't face another novel just yet, so will dive back into Get in Trouble and maybe start Almost Famous Women: Stories.

I'm listening to Doc, which I'm about halfway through. It's engaging and meticulous, but it's not blowing my socks off. Probably just not my cup of tea.

I have noticed it on quite a few print books lately. I swear publishers are using a smaller point that previously used.

I'm still listening to Cornwell's Enemy of God. I'm trying not to get too far ahead of my brother who is reading it too.

I'm also reading The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America, which I am enjoying a lot. I keep having to stop and read bits to my husband.

Right now listening to the saddest beginning of a book I have ever heard, THE BOYS IN THE BOAT. Man! Edward Herrmann narrates and he passed away a few weeks ago. Sad.

[Sue]

Oh, that is sad. I'm eager to hear how the book is. I've heard only great things, but for some reason it hasn't made it onto my TBR. Report back!

I'm currently reading the real James Harriet by Jim White. I am enjoying this book. I have always been a big James Harriet fan. It's very enjoyable learning about him from his son Jim.

Great tip. I love James Harriet and I had no idea that his son wrote a book about him.

[Vickie]

Yes, it's a great book. The authors name is James White (capital W I GHT). I'm listening to it on audio.
