I'm waiting for
and in ebook from my library. I've been #3 on the waiting list forever! I'm curious to hear your thoughts on The Postmistress.

I just started

while I wait for
to be released and my ebooks to become available from the library. Of course that makes it sound like I have nothing to read. . .

[Betsy]

I'm looking forward to starting tonight. I read years ago and loved it, so I'm hoping this sequel is as enjoyable.

[Becky]

Mockingjay!!!

[Betsy]

The Fire wasn't grabbing me, so I put it aside for something a little different. I'm about half way through. It's the first in a series of Italian mysteries that have been translated into English. Political corruption and good food figure prominently!

I read The Shape of Water recently too, and then I watched a movie from the same series. It was interesting to see the TV interpretation of the characters.

[LynnB]

I'm reading A Room With a View by E M Forster. It's an "Edwardian social comedy" with romance that has good reviews (written in 1908).

[Jamaie]

Just started I'd Know You Anywhere. My first Laura Lippman. I'm really enjoying it. The setting is in MD and since I lived in MD most of my life, it is interesting to hear all of the cities that have been in mentioned in the book.

We are starting this with my other book group

[Lisa]

I've read several Lippman books and really like them. Part of my enjoyment comes from the fact I live in Salisbury, MD, which is 2 hours outside Baltimore, where most of her writing takes place. It adds to my reading experience when I can identify the places Lippman talks about. I'm looking forward to reading I'd Know You Anywhere.

Becky....this one got 5 stars from me. The fact that I live in Savannah did not influence me in any way..though it did add something for me hearing of places I've been. Excellent story!!

Lisa, I lived in Glen Burnie most of the time & some of the time in Catonsville and Columbia, MD. Catonsville and Columbia have been mentioned and apparantly she went to Wilde Lake High School(per the story), which is where my oldest daughter attended one year. Just so neat...won't be my last by Lippman. I have , and on my shelf to read.

[Lisa]

@Jamaie

I have family in Columbia and Ellicott City. My youngest son is also starting college tomorrow at Loyola University Maryland.

Have you ever watched the show, The Wire? It's directed by Lippman's husband and is filmed and based on the Baltimore Police Department.

[Kate]

The Mistress's Daughter

I admit, adoption is topic which interests me. This is a short autobiography I grabbed off of (one of) my shelves and loved it instantly. Very frank memoir. No manipulation. Succinct language. I'm enjoying it!

[Lisa]

FYI for fans of Laura Lippman, Sandra Brown and Charles Todd. A new GR panel discussion group with these authors is being hosted from Sept 7 - 12th.

Crime Pays: The Fall Mystery & Thriller Author Panel Discussion

[Jamaie]

Lisa...I have heard of The Wire...my husband also lived in MD most of his life and watched that show. I will need to upload and watch it. I hear it is/was very good. I have a good friend that moved to Ellicott City. My best friend lives in Elkridge. My Dad/Grandma live in Hanover(in between Glen Burnie and B'more City). I remember hanging out at the Inner Harbor area and going to the Science Center to watch IMAX movies. I go back to MD several times a year. I'm 1/2 way through I'd Know You Anywhereand I really like it.

Update: 5 stars for I'd Know You Anywhere

[Betsy]

Starting for my F2F book group this month

[Pasquale]

I read what I like, not necessarily the latest titles either. Just beginning The Sportswriter by Richard Ford. Depending on how I like it, I may also read the other two books in this series.

[Stephanie]

I haven't posted in awhile. Here is my weird and wonderful array of what I have been reading:

Jane Eyre
Shopaholic and Baby
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
The Fellowship of the Ring
Mockingjay

HAHAHA...yes, I tend to dabble in everything, including CRAP.

[LynnB]

I am just starting East of the Sun by Julia Gregson. I don't know too much about it -- it's for my face2face club. Cover blurb sounds interesting, though.

[Jamaie]

Just started Mockingjay and The Third Twin.

[Lilyane]

Started The Cookbook Collector and am having trouble getting into it - perhaps someone will tell me it's worth the battle?

I was looking forward to reading this one...I am sad to hear that it is a slow-go.

[Kate]

In the Woods

Easy, captivating read so far . . . Just gave Cutting for Stone to a friend; can't wait to see what he thinks!

[Cathy]

Began Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin a little bit ago on audio CD and I really am enjoying it. I need to get off this theme because I have also begun Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. Any suggestions for something warm and fuzzy for the next one?

[Deeradcliffe]

I am almost finished with Mockingjay, and on the last few pages of The Margarets by Sheri S. Tepper. Need to start Above Suspiccion by Lynda LaPlante for our next book group meeting. Dee in Honolulu

[Lisa]

I finished Mistress of the Art of Death last month. I've owned it for at least a year and am sorry I didn't make time to read it earlier. It's a dark read, but good.

I also read Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers this past year. It was oddly fascinating.

If you're looking for something light and feel good, I'd suggest Sarah Addison Allen: . I loved them all!

[LynnB]

I'm starting Faithful Place by Tana French and also Steinbeck's The Red Pony because I realize I have never read that one. I have two other books going already, so I think I better get busy and READ instead of being on this computer!

[Lisa]

I started Still Missing by Chevy Stevens on my Nook. I'm doing this as my read for free (1 hour a day) book. I'm also getting ready to start Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

[Deeradcliffe]

I read The Girl WHo Chased the Moon awhile back and also liked it. Nice light reading. Dee in Honolulu

[Becky]

Just started The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake for one of my book groups

Lisa (and other Nook owners),

I get a weekly email from B & N and apparently every week they have a bunch of classics you can download to your nook for free. At first I assumed they would let Nook owners know, but figured I'd pass on the word anyway.

I have an ereader on my Christmas wish list.

[Lisa]

@Melissa
I've been taking advantage of the Nook classics. I've downloaded at least 40 to 50 so far. I forgot to do it last week :(, but I'm on top of it this week.

Think I may have read this is the final week for the classics.
Listening to "The Book Thief" on mp3, reading Joanna Trollope's "Marrying the Mistress" and have "Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" on Nook for upcoming trip to Europe

[Jaime]

I just started The Last Will of Moira Leahy: A Novel by Therese Walsh. I picked it up at B&N a few months back and read a bit while drinking my coffee and was immediately captivated. I am looking forward to snuggling up in my warm house on this cold evening in Central NY and digging right in!

[Becky]

I thought I had posted this on here but....anyway...
I am currently reading I'd Know You Anywhere with another book group

[Becky]

The Kitchen House

[LynnB]

With the start of school I have gotten very little reading done lately, but I am trying to read Like Water for Chocolate and The World According to Bertie

[Cathy]

The Map of True Places by Brunonia Barry

[LynnB]

And now I'm starting Tomato Rhapsody: A Novel of Love, Lust, and Forbidden Fruit.

[Karen]

Just started The Art of Racing in the Rain. If the rest of the chapters are as good as the first two I've just read, I won't get much sleep in this weekend! :-)

Loved this book, loved it!!

[Lisa]

@Karen
I ditto Becky! Very good book.

[Nancy]

I just started The Gendarme by Mark Mustian. a 92 year old Turkish/American man is looking back on his life and his role in what we has historically been called the Armenian Genocide. I love books that explores differing perspectives on historical events

[Patti]

Oh, well that is good to know. So far I have been sort of vanilla about this book. Thanks for the warning.
