I am reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and I am really enjoying it. I've had it for a while and decided to pick it up and read a few pages, which turned into a hundred pages, which turned into me reading the book. LOL! Seth Grahame-Smith has a great talent for mixing actual historical events with the absurd and making it a wonderfully quirky read.

[Susan]

I am just starting Secrets to the Grave (Oak Knoll, #2) by Tami Hoag .

[Maude]

I am reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. And then Chrissie, I am going to read The White Woman on the Green Bicycle, which I just bought last night and am looking forward to it.

[Chrissie]

Maude, not everybody agree with my views on this book...... Toni gave it three stars and Victoria didn't sound so exuberant.

I can only say how it struck me.

You can tell me if I should really read The Forgotten Garden.

Yes, yes, yes, Chrissie! Read The Forgotten Garden. I loved it! A lot of others did too.

[Hattie]

Shadowland (The Mediator, Book 1)

[Chrissie]

Maude, but do you think I will like it. You know I do not have normal tastes...... Most mysteries do not work for me. Have you read the other title by this author? Is this the best?

[Pamela]

I just finished Winged Obsession: The Pursuit of the World's Most Notorious Butterfly Smuggler and gave it 4 stars. Now I'm reading Unplanned: The Dramatic True Story of the Former Planned Parenthood Leader Who Crossed the Life Line to Fight for Women in Crisis on Kindle. Forgotten Garden is on my list :-)

[Maude]

Chrissie, I am still reading it but should be done later today. I do have an opinion and comments but will wait until I am finished and get back to you asap. I don't want to say anything now because sometimes an ending of a book will change one's mind or make a significant difference in one's view.

[[deleted user]]

I'm curious to see your review, too, Maude. I thought the book was okay, but not more.

[Chrissie]

Well Maude, I am quite sceptical about it fitting me! I am not in any way judging the book.

[Kimberly]

I'm reading

[Manybooks]

I just read a most wonderful picture book (more for adults than for children I would say) about what it means to be Métis, The Secret of Your Name. Outstanding, it had me in tears more than once.

[John]

Just finished which easily qualifies as a comfort read. Now on to something grittier , the story of the Donner Party in 1846.

I have Dewey out from the library :) He's so cute.

[[deleted user]]

I just finished Long Drive Home: A Novel and now I am in the deciding phase for what to read next.

[Beth]

Im just starting Between Friends by Debbie Macomber! yay!

[Maude]

Chrissie and Jeannette, I will get my review done tomorrow. I have been ferrying my daughter-in-law around all day. First to get her car which was supposed to be fixed, then again after she drove it to work when, again it acted up, have to pick up two kids an hour apart at two different schools, the man who is going to power wash/paint my house is due here any moment and while I might have the time to do it today, I don't have the ambition!

That one looks really good.

When you get a chance, sit down and put your feet up, Maude! You deserve a break....

I just got Anecdotes of Destiny by Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) in the mail. Looking forward to finally being able to read "Babette's Feast."

Yeah! I'm still waiting....

I love Karen Blixen's writing.

I'm ashamed to say that I have never read her writing. I watched Out of Africa and Babette's feast (which I loved), so I thought I should remedy that situation.

I've read bits and pieces of Out of Africa but always end up setting it down for something else but I love how she writes. I have to finish that one and her other book Ehrengard one of these days. Let me know what you think of the one you have :)

Oh I will, definitely :-)

[Kimberly]

Thank you =]

[Chrissie]

Now you guys are sleeping and I am up...... I always miss the party.

Gundula, so, soon you will be reading Babette's Feast!!! Jeanette, you will too soon. Hopefully! I really am thinking of reading Out of Africa again. I remember nothing. That doesn't mean the book is bad, it means I have a leaky head.

Maude - NO RUSH. You are going to wear yourself to pieces. So what color will your house be painted?! Exciting and nice. Sort of - at least once it is completed!

I have an ancien paperback . I checked for a Kindle book! NOPE. I have requested to be told when it arrives. I do not have high hopes. Newer books are easier to get for the Kindle, particularly the big sellers. And you know. this thing with lending - that is pure garbage. Practically no books are lendable. The prices have to go down. Amazon sold more Kindles than they did of hardcovers and paperbacks combined! Maybe the prices will go down. Practically all the new Kindle books cost USD 13.79. I bet your prices are less for the same book. Right? Could one of you guys to how much The Free World costs on Kindle. I had to pay USD 13.79. I am just curious how much more Europeans are paying for the same book compared to Americans.... And I do NOT recommend buying that book. Only two stars.

[[deleted user]]

Chrissie,
It's 12.99 on Kindle right now. It seems like more and more books are 12.99. It used to be unusual to find anything over 9.99.

[[deleted user]]

I was browsing the other day at the Kindle book prices, and was shocked at how expensive they were.

I've started The Memory of Love and am loving it.

[Chrissie]

Thanks Christine! Hmmpf, Europeans must pay 80 cents more for a typical new ebook! The prices are not that different.

[Lisa]

I've heard it's horrible but I want to finish the story so later today I'm going to start The Land of Painted Caves. And who knows, I may like it; I sometimes like "bad" books.

I watched the film last night, so I will read "Babette's Feast" today sometime (I think I will also read the other stories included, but I will read Babette's Feast first). I think I also want to read Out of Africa (I watched the movie years ago in the theatre and I really liked it, but I've never read the book). I've actually already read the first two pages of Babette's Feast and one thing that strikes me as odd and interesting is that Phillipa and Martine's mother is never mentioned at all (I guess she might have died in childbirth, but it is strange that there is not mention of her whatsoever; in a way, Martine and Philippa seem almost as being not only the Dean's daughters, but also his partners, like in a marriage).

[Kathy]

Just started The Things That Keep Us Here by Carla Buckley.

[Chrissie]

Gundula, I felt the relationship between the Dean and his two daughters reflected simply there having lived so closely together for so long. Hmmm. try and write something as soon as you are done. No computer soon.

[Kimberly]

I finished so I'm finally getting into

I will write a review as soon as I am done. How long will you be without a computer? Are you going on holidays or is your computer acting up? And I don't think there was anything inappropriate about the Dean and his daughters, although the fact that the girls' mother is never mentioned is a bit odd (for me).

[Chrissie]

Gundula, my computer is always sick, slow playing tricks.

Computers can be such a royal pain ...

[Kat]

I just started reading eye of the god by Ariel Allison and enjoying it.

[[deleted user]]

I just started The Dressmaker of Khair Khana: Five Sisters, One Remarkable Family, and the Woman Who Risked Everything to Keep Them Safe

[Lauren]

Going to be starting The Punch: One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever but currently reading The Captive, Part II and The Power

[Kimberly]

I'm really enjoying I'm not much for YA the last few years but this one is turning out to be surprisingly good.

[[deleted user]]

I enjoyed Graceling, too. It's quite different from the standard YA fantasy.

[Kimberly]

I like it. It reminds me of Eragon in a way with the story telling.

[[deleted user]]

I never made it all the way through Eragon, but my daughter enjoyed it.

I really like Katsa and Po, and was rooting for both of them. Totally nasty bad guy in this one -- the only thing about the book I didn't care for. But, no spoilers!! :)

[Lauren]

I just splurged my gift card on 3 books The Punch: One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever for my June book club read The Wolves of Andover and The Kitchen Daughter

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Lauren, The Kitchen Daughter looks interesting and has really high ratings here on Goodreads. I love books about food!

[Kimberly]

I'm reading . I hope I like it I waited for 5 months to get it from the library so it better be good!
