That's on my TBR list too."

[Laurie]

Just started Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, . I can't believe that I've never read this book -- so enjoying her poetic prose.

[Becky]

[Sera]

I'm starting as a buddy read.

Sera wrote: "I'm starting as a buddy read."

I give - what's a "buddy read"? Anything more than the obvious?

[Sera]

No, it's the obvious. I am reading it with a GR friend. I am finding that it's a great way in which to clear out some books on my TBR shelf.

[LynnB]

I'm currently reading and , both for book groups.

[Cathy]

Helping my young teen daughter along with her summer reading and have begun reading together with her. I am hoping this YA book holds her interest...the reviews look fairly good.

[Patricia]

Saw this in the latest issue: 84, Charing Cross Road, so found it at the library & its sequel: Duchess of Bloomsbury Street. Has anyone seen the movie?

[LynnB]

I'm just starting The Fear Index from our reading for this period. It's not the kind of book I would pick on my own, so we'll see how it goes...

I'm interested in hearing how you like 84, Charing Cross Road -- I noticed it also in Bookmarks and added it to my "to read" list.

[Laurie]

I just picked up Scenes from Village Life by Amos Oz at the library. It is a "series of stories" in novel format, I think. I've only read the first story -- quite strange, but that is the intent, according to the jacket blurb.

Yes, I have seen the movie of 84 Charing Cross Road. It stars Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins and I loved it.

This book keeps coming up so I am also adding it to my TBR. It's cool that there's a movie out as well.

I'll have to look for it; as soon as I finish both books!

[Betsy]

I've started . Had to put Cat's Table aside because my e-book loan expired.

[LynnB]

Now I'm reading (fiction) and (non-fiction).

[Sera]

Starting and - two more beasts.

I love McEwan's writing.

I am starting Hemingway's Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost, 1934-1961 and The Solitary House .

I am very interested in the Hemingway book. Keep us posted.

Read it about 2 months ago in our book group!

[LynnB]

I read it a while ago and really liked it.

[Becky]

started...

I don't usually read 2 books at once but my other book is good, just a very slow read, I needed something else too!

[LynnB]

I'm reading (classic), (humorous short stories) and (biography). I just read whichever one appeals to me at the moment during the day.

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

I'm reading The Quality of Mercy.

[Sera]

I"m listening to on audio.

[Kate]

Great reads, everyone! I liked Lemon Cake. I LOVED People of the Book and grabbed a bunch of used Geraldine Brooks thereafter which I'll get through eventually. Very eager to read Hemingway's Boat, too, but don't have it yet. Just started Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (reading in on GR for 50 Books BookClub) and love it. The Road is a huge fave, too. Read on!

I am so enjoying -- I've found, though, that I need to keep my collection of Hemingway's stories and a couple of his novels at hand, as the author weaves so much of Hemingway's writing/writing process into the narrative of this biography that I want to read the actual works as I read about them.

[LynnB]

I just started and am about 100 pages in. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Not loving it, but it is interesting in some ways. I'm waiting on judgment!

[Victoria]

I have re-started . I read about 1/2 and then had to return it to the e-library, but was able to check it out again last week, so plan on finishing this time. Not sure what I think about it - if I hadn't found it through the library site again, I'm not sure if I would have finished it. It's an odd story, for sure.

I started on audio this morning. This is my third outing with audio for this story line. I loved and was pretty good, too. I understand this is the third installment of a total of four. In his hands Zafon spins a fabulous tale and Barcelona becomes a magical, exotic locale filled with lots of darkness and mystery.

and of course I am 1/2 done since it's so short. I don't really like it, but I'll muddle through since it's only 125 pages or so.

That's good to know in case I feel confused, too.! The premise sounds good.

This one has mixed reviews in the group so I'll be interested to see in which camp you fall.

[Betsy]

I feel like I've been starting a lot and finishing none. This one is for book group. I have zero interest in the topic, so if I look at the bright side, no matter what, it won't disappoint me!

[Victoria]

Sera - I quit We the Animals. Left it at 1/2 finished. I just decided that it wasn't worth spending any more time on. I really wasn't enjoying anything about it - too dark, I guess? Ironic, because I've moved on to - which would be considered pretty dark by many! I guess I consider that "dark light" or kind of dark & fluffy! That's what I was in the mood for!
