I started Dancing at the Rascal Fair by Ivan Doig. I've read some of his books before and absolutely love this author. He has an amazingly descriptive voice that doesn't drag you down in details, but sets a fantastic scene.

Reading: You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman and listening to 1776

I found this riveting. I think we may have a buddy read on it so be sure to go there and shar..."

Will do - thanks, Betsy!

[Betsy]

I started The Chapel: A Novel for no particular reason other than it was available at the downloadable library.

[Cathy]

I just started Freeman. It is good so far.

[Juniper]

i have two books on the go at the moment: Homesick, by Guy Vanderhaeghe, and The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives (aka The Secret Lives of the Four Wives), by Lola Shoneyin. both are quite interesting so far.

[Linda]

An Exaggerated Murder

I've had this one on my TBR list, but haven't gotten a copy yet. I'll be watching for your review of it :)

[Juniper]

i have started The Country of Ice Cream Star and i am quite intrigued by the voices and style!

[LynnB]

I'm starting On the Divinity of Second Chances: A Novel which has been on my TBR for quite a while.

[Linda]

Brown Girl Dreaming (on audio)

[Betsy]

I'm starting Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption and The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History. The latter is for my book group and I had been on the holds list at the library for the former. Since my time is limited to read both of them (my book group is in a couple weeks, and I won't be able to renew Just Mercy due to the lengthy wait list), I splurged and got the Kindle version with Whispersync of Sixth Extinction. I have to say, being able to flip back and forth between e-book and audio book is pretty cool!

[Juniper]

i really loved 'the sixth extinction', betsy! i think it is a great choice for a book club discussion!!

[LynnB]

The Nightingale which is WWII historical fiction.

[Sera]

I really enjoyed the 6th extinction too!

Almost Famous Women: Stories on audio

[Juniper]

i am reading An Unnecessary Woman, by Rabih Alameddine. its... interesting. i haven't read a lot of literature set in beirut, but i'm not really int a groove with the story yet - he name drops a lot of authors and book titles, which would make a great reading list, but every time it happens, i get distracted. :)

I've had a major head cold the last two days and feel like my head's going to explode because it's so stuffed up :( so I haven't got much reading done on this book, but I am enjoying it for as far as I've gotten in it (1/3??).

[Betsy]

I'm excited! I just went onto the digital library site and was able to grab the new Toni Morrison book God Help the Child on audio. My timing must have been such that I was on right after they posted it so it was available. That never happens to me! I'm also starting A Marker to Measure Drift on ebook.

[Betsy]

Starting The Farm on audio.

[Sera]

Oh, I love Tom Rob Smith. Keep me posted on The Farm, Betsy.

I started The Girl on the Train on audio this morning. I'll be chiming in on the group read thread as I listen to it.

[LynnB]

I just got The Girl on the Train at the library. I'll be starting it tonight.

[Sera]

Cool, Lynn! It is very good on audio. I am enjoying it very much at about 1/3 of the way in. See you in the other thread :)

I haven't read Child 44 but we went to see the movie last weekend. It hasn't gotten good reviews but we enjoyed it. Probably because we hadn't read the book so had nothing to compare it to.

[Sera]

Child 44 was an outstanding read. In fact, the entire series was excellent. I didn't realize that the movie was out already! What a shame if they ruined it and missed an opportunity to do something great with this story.

Before you select your next book to start, take the May/June poll at the bottom of the main group page.

I thought that this book was pretty good. Let us know how you enjoy it.

[Sera]

I started Redeployment. It's slow and depressing so far.

[LynnB]

Sera wrote: "I started Redeployment. It's slow and depressing so far."

I've been planning to read that. It will be interesting to see how you feel about it when you get done. Maybe it's one of those that gets good "after the first 100 pages". It's definitely been getting good ratings.

I'll be interested to hear what you think. I read her recent Love, Anthony, and was disappointed in it.

Not sure whether I posted that I started The Bees on audio for my book group. Also started the giveaway book I received The Vanishing Expert
