And Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging for my book group.

[Betsy]

Am I the last person on earth to read The Nightingale? Started it on audio this week.

And started The Last Town on Earth on iPad.

No, and I even own the audio. I read one of her earlier books and felt it was a waste of my time. I've been slow to read this one because of my earlier experience despite seeing lots of people give it at least 4 stars.

I started Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power. I feel like I'm rubber necking at an accident (I know I should have my mind on my driving but my eyes can't resist the pull of the accident.) At least I picked something that should be unbiased to start (not a hatchet job).

Unbiased? The title sounds a little disparaging. Is it not meant that way?

Good point, Betsy. What I meant was it wasn't necessarily biased before the writing. I took the title to be a summary of the investigation.

[Linda]

Continuation, Betsy...

at supper last night my husband asked me about the book. I was able to tell him that the book started with Trump's agreement and assistance. After he read it, he disavowed it.

[Betsy]

started Sister

[Linda]

Pachinko

[Kate]

I'm half-way through The Mothers Highly recommend so far . . .

[Betsy]

I just started The Underground Railroad on audio and The Turner House on Kindle.

[Betsy]

Started Swing Time a couple weeks ago. I'm finding it a bit boring. I've made it halfway through and my loan ran out. I'll get it again (after 20 people on the wait list), but I won't be frothing at the mouth waiting for it.

Started Another Brooklyn on audio today. So far, it is beautifully written and read/narrated.

[Linda]

Evidently I haven't kept in touch! I'm well into reading my favorite mystery author's newest Blind Sight and listening to LaRose

[Nancy]

Just started re-reading Each member of our library book group chose a book and this was mine. I've read it at least twice before and it remains one of my all time favorites.

[Linda]

The Daily Show: An Oral History as Told by Jon Stewart, the Correspondents, Staff and Guests (Oh, I miss Jon Stewart!)

[Nancy]

We really need him now!

I like that idea. Maybe we can have a thread here about the one book you would pick to read again.

[Betsy]

I've started a few things:
The Westing Game because the premise intrigues me and I've heard good things about it

Barkskins on audio (it's long and going to take me a while)

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business for a women's group I just joined.

[Linda]

Listening to The Red Bandanna: A Life. A Choice. A Legacy.

Another possibility is books we've given a second chance. Two books that I had started and not liked were The Elegance of the Hedgehog and Love Medicine but they were chosen for my library book group so since I am always willing to give books that other people really loved, a second chance I started them again with an open mind. Well, I absolutely fell in love with The Elegance of the Hedgehog and though Love Medicine was a bit of a slog for me, I'm really glad I read it.

[Elle]

I started and so far am really enjoying it. I don't normally care for the Roman Empire era but this is a VERY engaging book with each chapter told from a different character's perspective. It flows and you don't want it to end. I can't wait for the weekend when I have more time to read!

[Nancy]

I'm just starting Unwindon audio CD's in my car and Flowers in the Atticon audible for when I go for my walks (though considering temps lately, it may take a while to finish this one). Am taking the train to my sisters in Lititz PA so I'm taking Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands

Nancy, this sounds good....ran out and picked it up at the local library after reading your post. My recommendation for this year's reads would be . Excellent along with the well-written, and moving memoir . Now onto Gail Tsukiyama's read. Thanks for the recommendation!

I've been to Lititz often. Home of Wilbur Chocolate. Or previous home. Such a cute town.

[Betsy]

I recently joined a women's group. From what I can tell it is not a book group per se, but they currently have been reading sections of The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business. So I'm starting that by reading the third section. I've been wanting to read it for a while, so I'll have to go back and read the rest of it at some point.

[Jeana]

I am starting two short story collections. I don't usually enjoy short stories but thought I would give these two a go. Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris (heard great things about this author and have never read his work) and Christmas at Thompson Hall and other Christmas Stories by Anthony Trollope (this book is so pretty, how can I not like it?)

I have the Sedaris book on my iPod to listen to in the car. I've had it on there forever and started to listen to it over the summer and I just couldn't deal with the holiday theme in the summer. I need to remember to listen to it now. I may have to put Barkskins on hold.

[Elle]

I have just started Redemption Road (on audio) a beautifully written North Carolina thriller and am LOVING it. On my kindle I am starting The Second Girl a fluffier mystery/thriller. Believe or not, I don't consider thrillers my genre but apparently it is my new guilty pleasure.

LOL, we all need guilty pleasure reads! I enjoyed Redemption Road and John Hart is an author that always Pre-Reserve at the library when I hear his book is coming out. It was 5 years between his last two books, I hope it isn't another 5.

[Jeana]

Just starting A Plot Against America by Philip Roth. Never read anything by this author.

[Nancy]

Just started The Tea Rose

[Linda]

Finishing The Mirror Thief

[Betsy]

Jeana wrote: "Just starting A Plot Against America by Philip Roth. Never read anything by this author."

I like Roth and I liked this one, but I don't think it is his best. I have American Pastoral on my iPod to listen to that's supposed to be really good. I really liked The Human Stain

This one seems to get love/hate reviews. Let us know what you think.

[Betsy]

I started Nobody's Fool for my January book group.

[Linda]

Betsy wrote: "Linda wrote: "Finishing The Mirror Thief"

I'm going to give it 4 stars, Betsy. It's almost 500 pages and criss crosses through 3 different scenarios. It needs to be paid attention to. I started it in April and went gung ho with it for awhile, but needed to move on. I'm intent on finishing it before the end of the year. Shouldn't be hard. I only have 90 pages to go.

[Nancy]

Just started Trying to finished off 2011 entries from my TBR list and had this in my bookcase. Liking it so far

[Linda]

Listening to Truevine: Two Brothers, a Kidnapping, and a Mother's Quest: A True Story of the Jim Crow South

[Jeana]

Just Started reading Before We Visit the Goddess by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.

[Betsy]

Starting Chains, a YA book I've had for a while.

[Nancy]

[Jeana]

Thank you, so far enjoying Before We Meet the Goddess. I will add Sister of My Heart to my TBR.

[Linda]

Ciao Bella

[Jeana]

Starting The Life We Bury for Book Club.

[Nancy]

In the middle of Night Heron Reading it for a book club but it's not really my cup of tea - spies & espionage.

[Nancy]

Just started listening to

[Linda]

Geez! I've fallen behind. Since Ciao Bella, I've read Redwall: The Graphic Novel and Love Warrior.
I've started Hush, The Gunning of America: Business and the Making of American Gun Culture , and Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk

[Betsy]

Started The Nix on audio. Reminds me of Wolfe's writing in Bonfire of the Vanities.

[Jeana]

Steinbeck's East of Eden and Of Mice and Men are among my favorite books so I decided to join an online group in reading through the rest of his work this year. I started Cup of Gold, his first book.
