I am an SK fan and always love to hear when he has come up with a 'good one'. So far I have read some good reviews for 11/22/63 - I am looking forward to getting around to it - hope you enjoy it!

message 1470: by [deleted user] (new)

I've just started Pandemonium (Delirium, #2) by Lauren Oliver , the follow up to Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver . The chapters alternate between 'now' and 'then' which took a little bit of getting used to, but I'm only a third of the way through and I'm already getting torn between which story thread I like best and want to get back to the most. Wondering if it can keep the pace up to end!

Rebecca Weinstein (rweinstein6) | 8 comments I just finished listening to War Horse and reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and really enjoyed them both!

I'm reading Emma for a class. I've read it a coupla times already, but not in the last few years. I remember loving it, although the scenes with Miss Bates could be a bit tedious--I guess that's the point. All of Austen's novels have this way of making you tear up, but not at the romantic scenes. It's the moral scenes that do that.

message 1496: by Jack (new)

Jack Edmunson I am reading 'Yesterday's sun' by Amanda Brooke because it was a Richard and Judy 2012 recommendation - but it is too frothy after finishing The Ebb & Flow by David Edwards last night. Maybe it is me? Chalk and cheese? TEAF is definitely scrummy cheese and YS is chalky - I read somewhere it is good for indigestion. Hey ho.
