Becky wrote: "Anne of Green Gables, we are heading to PEI next week & I have not read this in years!"What perfect timing! I've always wanted to get to PEI and see what it's like. We're planning to go to the East Coast (US and Canada) in a few years to see what's there. I've been all over the rest of the US and Canada, just not the extreme east. Have a good trip!

Thanks, we have talked about it for years & this trip was actually going to be just Maine but as we got looking at the map we were like...ummmmm....LOL & Sept is a big Food Festival on the island. We are camping in our little teardrop camper!
Becky, have fun! I have great memories of camping on Prince Edward Island when I was young. I'd love to go back some day.

Hope you'll post a review when you finish telling us if you enjoyed it as much now as when you were younger. I probably read it, and loved it, 55 years ago (!!) but if you enjoy it as an adult maybe I'll read it again.
I'm reading
by Anne Tyler and
by Louise Penny. The Tyler book is general fiction for another group, but the Penny book is because I love these mysteries (modern, but an Agatha Christie style). This is #5 in her series.
I'm about to start The Map of Time
-- has anyone here read it? I'm a slow reader and it's a thick read -- wondering if it's worth buying if I can't finish the borrowed copy from the library by the due date.

Just started The Phantom Tollbooth which is the "On the Same Page selection for Decatur,Ga where everyone interested will be reading the same book with book groups etc. http://www.littleshopofstories.com/sa.... So far the book is hilarious

."LynnB, I thought that Kingsolver's book was excellent. We read it for one of my GR book clubs and we were pretty divided on it. I'm curious to hear what you think.
I began
on audio, recently. A Man Booker nominee and extremely well-written. It is a fabulous audio experience, very engaging. I highly recommend it on audio, or otherwise.
I started Townie by Andre Dubus III on audio today. There are a surprising number of similarities with What's Left of Us by Richard Farrell (which I recently read), including the fact that both authors currently teach at UMass Lowell.

I have Townie and look forward to reading it, but isn't it strange that other books are so similiar to his

I started Little Chapel on the River by Gwendolyn Bounds for my F2F book group. It's quite good so far.

"I can't wait to read that one! I have it on my Nook."
It was very good....I liked but at about the 1/2 way point I had a very hard time putting it down!
I usually stay away from overly hyped books when they first come out but this book has intrigued me, so I am starting....
