Thanks Rayna. I am used to it so it is ok for me.


I seem to always enjoy her books and they are so true to Ireland.

- St. Augustine's Confessions. Saint Augustine (finally started reading it more steadily these past few days rather than a few pages here and there)
- Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov (at long last I've cracked it open)
- Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora (I'm actually re-reading it; it's been a long time and I was in the mood for a good fantasy)



Heart-Shaped Box was good but I thought Horns was even better.

I own that, but have yet to get going on it. Looks really good, thanks for the encouragement!

I read this one not long ago and I really liked it too.


This was the first paranormal series I ever read (not too long ago I might add)...Loved it!!! Really enjoyed her Highlander series as well.

I'll be starting with Jonathan Decoteau's Storm World: Speaker Of The Gods.


Murder Most Royal

The Quilter's Homecoming

Act of Treason

The Shop on Blossom Street

Divine Inspiration





Angela, did you enjoy "The Friday Night Knitting Club"? I liked it when I read it and just finished "Knit Two".

Have also read books five and six of the Harry Potter series this month, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. One more to go before the last movie comes out!
Picked up a shorter one before hitting the last HP, Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet by M.C. Beaton.

To the Lighthouse
The Good Thief's Guide to Paris (which is less entertaining than I expected and I've already skipped a couple of pages. Alas.
And 'Ten Little Niggers' by Agatha Christie. The search option can't provide me with a link to this book. I hope I'll manage to uncover the culprit this time!

The reason you can't find 'Ten Little Niggers' is that it is also titled 'And Then There Were None'. That book went through a couple of title changes: TLN to Ten Little Indians and then, at least in the US it became And Then There Were None. There may have been other iterations in other countries and other times. The changes were due to sensitivities to certain words in the titles. You must have a very old copy of the book! Enjoy!

I loved the Friday Night Knitting Club! I'll probably read the sequel sometime.

Jennifer, Are you enjoying "Act of Treason?" I do like the books Vince Flynn writes.

Thank you for the information, dear! There's a copy on Goodreads, though. I have it on my 'currently reading' list in my profile but somehow I couldn't find the link to it while posting here.
Actually, I have a Polish version in which the original English title is also presented. :)







Glenda:
I read this book some time ago and thought it was very well written and a powerful story.

Glenda,
I just got it from the library, good to hear you liked it. It's my next in line to read.

Or you might have to seek the book
The Little Women Letters out. I re-read the Lost Summer & now have started reading The Little Women Letter. Last summer I did find that I re-read Little Women after finishing The Lost Summer....

An enthralling book on how countries vie against each other to be top dog on the world stage. Spies, double agents, love triangles -- it’s all in a days work! In today’s interconnected world, this book gives one an interesting perspective on how much competition goes on behind the scenes with ambitions and stakes running high. Hearts are broken and for some power is gained. High drama and lots of mind games involved. Perfect summer reading!

This is the fifth or sixth Vince Flynn I've read and I really like them. I bought my husband the first two for his kindle and he seems to be liking them also. Gives him something to read between Star Wars books and military history.
