I've seen that on tv. It's a rather slow p..."

But the only reason i have not passed my license yet is because of parallel parking, sigh.

I'm listening to the audiobook of North and South narrated by Juliet Stevenson. It is wonderful. Juliet Stevenson is a fabulous narrator and I love the book. It's so Victorian - all those words, melodrama and sentimentality. I'm not always in the mood for that kind of thing, but I am at the moment.

And Gundula, don't feel bad about parallel parking. You'll get there eventually. I'm pretty good at it, because when I got my license I lived in a suburb where parking was at an absolute premium, so I had to learn to park in a space no bigger than my car. I live in that sort of suburb again now. However, my husband grew up in a country town where parallel parking (we call in reverse parking) didn't exist. Forty years after getting his license he is still not that great at it, but he manages.

Kim, I am actually better at parallel parking than at backing into a parking spot, that is like a book with seven seals (at least with parallel parking, I sometimes get it right), but reversing is a real ...

[Chrissie]

Gundula, don't be depressed about the parallel parking. You will get it. Practice makes perfect..... but some things need more practice than others .

It was wonderful to read it again. I got so much more out of it. My daughter is really enjoying it too.

Just to clarify: I think The Phantom of the Opera is a very good book. It just has too many French names in the very beginning, and I was sleepy. I always snooze on our drive to Oklahoma.

Yes, the auto-park feature made me nervous. It even decided the spot we picked wasn't the right one, and parked us a bit further up. It did do a good job.

Grrrr. How frustrating, and how stupid. If parking is an issue, people I know just avoid having to do it, but otherwise drive fine.

I've probably read it 100 times since I was 12. Every time, I get something new from it. The last time I loved Jem more than I ever had before.

I don't know how it happened, but the above post should be attributed to CeeAnne. She's reading To Kill a Mockingbird with her daughter.

Thanks, Jeannette. I think it was the page change??? Hurrah! We're over 5,400 posts.

CeeAnne, What a wonderful, perfect book to read with a daughter!

[[deleted user]]

I love Jem too! He has such a kind soul.

Even I am confused about these posts, Jeannette, haha!

It was just a surprise to see your text and my name! I'm re-reading Mansfield Park right now. :)

Falling Together by Marisa de los Santos

Waiting patiently for your thoughts.......

Just 50 pages in CeeAnne, but I think it's going to be good. I wasn't so sure when I started it and still not sure it's going to measure up to Santos' first two novels. We'll see. I hope to get some quality reading time in tomorrow on it.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

I'm reading Daniel Silva's The Rembrandt Affair. Definite comfort reading for me!

[Kimberly]

I'm reading and enjoying it.

I really liked her first 2 as well. I've heard mixed reviews on this one.

It's a good group. I enjoy reading novellas; lots of story in a small package.

[Kimberly]

Thanks Jeannette :) I'll join.

[Olivia]

I'm reading and . Very different but both good so far.

[Kathy]

CeeAnne, Marisa de los Santos has done it again. I have about a fourth or less more to read, and her ability to create interesting characters has sucked me right in. I really didn't think I was going to care for this book, but Falling Together has grabbed me and not let go. I will hopefully finish it today.

[Krista]

Kathy, delighted to hear you're enjoying Marisa de los Santos's next book. I loved her first two but, based on the description, didn't think I'd enjoy Falling Together. With your positive feedback, looks like this one is being added to me list. :o)

[Chrissie]

Wow, I just finished an impressive book: The Hummingbird's Daughter. Four stars from me! Here is my spoiler free review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/.... This was my second audio book. I am hooked.

I will begin again The Silence of Trees. I put it down to try an audio,

Lovely review Chrissie! It makes me want to read the book even more :)

[Chrissie]

Thank you, Kimberly. Maybe my reading enjoyment came through.

The way she talks to him reminds me of how I talk to my pets. She wrote it really nicely.

[Maude]

Kimberly, I read Wesley the Owl on Chrissie's recommendation and totally fell in love with him. I think you will, too.

[Kimberly]

I finished it at 7 this morning :) I loved it.

[Maude]

I didn't know one thing about barn owls until I read this book which was so interesting. I have to admit I cried buckets at the end.

[Kimberly]

I had a tear or two but thankfully I was on a bus. I lost one of my gerbils last week so I didn't want to add to that by crying about the ending and her.

[Chrissie]

Maude, do you remember that book about the parrot that talked and was so smart? He was in the news..... There is a book about him too, but it is not as good.

[Kimberly]

Chrissie I think it's .

[Lisa]

I'm barely having any time to read but I just started V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton. I'm very excited. I always enjoy her books. They're great comfort reads for me.

[Darkpool]

Halfway through Geist by Philippa Ballantine, and enjoying it very much. Has great characters, and an interesting setting. Nearly finished The Black Ice by Michael Connelly, and I'm now totally addicted to Harry Bosch. I'm hoping to listen to the whole series on audiobook, so far enjoying narrator Dick Hill very much. He's good at the variety of accents required, and his female voices don't sound too forced or wrong.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

I've ordered the Wesley the Owl book from the library. It sounds like just like what I feel like reading right now.

Nice, Lee!! I know you will like it.

[Kim]

I've just started listening to an audiobook of Charlotte Bronte's Villette. I'm also reading Envious Casca, the second last book for my 2011 project of reading all of Georgette Heyer's mysteries.

[Maude]

Kimberly, Thank you for suggesting Alex and Me. I don't know if that is what Chrissie wanted but it looks good so I am going to get it.

[Kimberly]

No problem Maude, it turns out that is the book she was talking about :) When you read it let me know how you like it.
