Me too!!

[Cathy]

I have begun .

[LynnB]

Work has overwhelmed me. I am still trying to finish the CS Lewis biography, which I'm really enjoying, but don't have time to sit down and really read. Tonight I'm going to read a simple cozy mystery...I just need some very easy reading at this point.

[Sera]

Agreed, Lynn. So many people have been overwhelmed by so much to do at this time of year that lighter reads are definitely in order :)

[Karen]

I just started

[Cathy]

In line with the above thread...maybe not a lighter read, but definitely a shorter read (about 165 pages), I have begun

[Becky]

I am reading

[LynnB]

I'm beginning , historical fiction.

[Jayme]

I started a few days ago it's very interesting and I think I even know what's about :)

[Betsy]

Started . I've been wanting to read this one for a long time.

[Becky]

trying to finish The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey by the end of the year….

[Becky]

First book of 2014-

[LynnB]

I've been reading off and on for a few days. I started yesterday morning. And I am starting today. (I always have a couple going so I can read whichever type I'm in the mood for.)

[Cathy]

I saw the film "Philomena" today. Judi Dench was superb in her portrayal of Philomena. After enjoying the movie I wanted to learn more of this true story, so downloaded on my new Christmas Kindle. A fascinating story that I hope to learn more about.....starting tonight.

[Linda]

- audio in the car.

in the "library"

as my take it wherever I go book. I listened to it a couple of months ago, but wanted my eyes to appreciate the adventure, too.

[Sera]

Becky wrote: "First book of 2014-"

Mine, too, Becky! I'm almost half-way through and really enjoying it so far.

[Sera]

In addition to , I am listening to on audio and starting tonight.

[Patti]

Reading and as usual the writing is just terrific.

[Deb]

Just started Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl. An inside look at the life of the NY Times food critic. What stories she tells!

This one sounds very interesting!

It really is! Her position is so well known among NY restaurants that she has to come up with all manner of disguises -- which is half the fun of the read!

[LynnB]

I have been helping my parents move and haven't had time to read, so I'm still working on (which I am enjoying) and (essays, and I'm enjoying most of them)... though I did manage to complete :) for a challenge requirement in another group.

[LynnB]

Oh, and for some reason I'm also starting the non-fiction . We'll see how long it takes me to get through these with everything else going on!

That's hilarious, Deb. I am going to add that one to my Amazon wish list.

Life gets in the way of reading too much sometimes, but we do what we have to do. I have no doubt that you will still be able to squeeze in some quality reading time, even with everything else going on.

[Sera]

I just started on audio. The story is incredible, but the reader is not doing the story justice.

[Cathy]

Recently discovered the award-winning Canadian book , and have begun it.

His optimism and survival are amazing. Ishmael Beah is speaking at one of DC's local independent bookstores, Politics & Prose, on Friday, January 10th. I hope to attend to hear him speak about his latest book, Radiance of Tomorrow: A Novel

That's awesome! Circle back and let us know how it went if you have a chance to go.

Incredibly sad. I am a little over halfway through. Listening to this one on audio has made my commute somewhat stressful.

[LynnB]

I've started , and ... definitely an eclectic grouping!

I just started and am really enjoying it.

I loved this one, but heard after reading it that there were some allegations of some of it being made up. Don't look those up though until you finish the book, but interesting to read about.

[Sera]

Oh, I hope not, Betsy. I should finish it in a few days and will look thereafter.

Thanks for the head's up. Beah has a new fiction book out, too for those who might be interested. The reviews that I have read are very good for his debut novel.

[Becky]

Starting East of Eden, read it many years ago & now reading it with my book group

[LynnB]

I started reading .

[Sera]

LynnB wrote: "I started reading ."

That looks interesting, Lynn. I was just reading my daughter a Berenstain Bears book on bad habits last night. - Sister was a nail biter - LOL

[Victoria]

I liked the Habit book a lot. Maybe not earth-shattering stuff, but very interesting. I had it from the library a few years ago.

[LynnB]

I'm finding The Power of Habitit very interesting, too. Some of it was a bit of an eye-opener to realize why I do what I do.

@Sera - My kids are all grown-up, but I remember reading the Berenstain Bears books over and over and over to them. Enjoy it while you can!

[Miriam]

I always read the Berenstain Bears to my classes and I still have the books.

[Linda]

For some reason, those of you commenting about The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business and kids brushed off a whole bunch of cobwebs:

20+ years ago, my son had his first earache and ER visit. When we got home we called grandma, who was his babysitter while I worked to tell her we would be staying home the next day. Son wanted to talk to grandma, so I handed him the phone and talked to grandma AND paced back and forth while talking. That was exactly what I did whenever I was on the phone. I recognized immediately where he picked up that action.

[LynnB]

I'm finishing up The Power of Habit so I've started and a new biography, about Edward VII.

[LynnB]

@Linda - Isn't it scary when you see your kids do something and realize it's a mirror on you? Those moments sure taught me a lot about myself!

[Sera]

I am starting tonight. Graham Greene's writing is incredible. I am very much looking forward to it.
