I've just started Murder on Astor Place
. I had read one of her books a while back and discovered to my horror that it was part of a series and I read it out of order! LOL I'm now starting from the beginning.

I've read
Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea and would continue to read her to raise my mood after sad books.
I am reading The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. It's a new retelling of the story of the siege of Troy, intelligently written and compelling.
it s strange how young women claim to love sex so much. im 69 and am still active though my wife could take it or leave it. why couldn t i have been young during the sex revolution ?

Second Chance

I'm reading
by J.D. RobbI have two books by Jane Green - Second Chance and The Love verb, they are in TBR shelf :P
I'm still going between In Asiaby Tiziano Terzani, Middlemarchby George Eliot and The Full Cupboard of Life
just finished geo pelecanos SHOEDOG. it was one of the worst books i have ever read. dennis lehane recommended him and that disappoints me. maybe, they are good friends and dennis wants to help him. i forgive dennis cause i love his books.
Gabriella wrote: "I'm reading The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall-Smith. Pretty good so far."Enjoy, I finished one of him today!
I have made a good dent in Rich man, poor man so I went ahead and started Without Consent which is just as hard to put down as the other one.
I've just started Galileo's Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith and Love as well as Fire and Ice, Five Worlds Series both of which are good so far.
Gabriella wrote: "I'm reading The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall-Smith. Pretty good so far."I enjoyed this book!
Just finished
and gave it a 5. Loved the tempo and the swing between homespun tale and mystery. I didn't know how I would feel about it when I started the book, but could not put it down. Watch out for the "weeps" at the end.
I just started The Clan of the Cave Bear for the second time. I read this book before around 1998 when I was in high school which is a while ago lol.
На солнечной стороне улицы by Dina Rubina(sorry, didn't find English version)
and relaxing on Stillwatchby Mary Higgins Clark

Because I am in the middle of "The shelters of stone" (#5) and I am not enjoying it much at all! I hear the 6th one is even worse. So I was wondering if you had any thoughts about this and if you could advise me whether reading the 6th one is even worth my time? Thanks!
I just finished The Book Of Negroes (Someone Knows My Name) and have started The Year of the Flood. There seems to be a Canadian Lit theme going on...
I started Snow Flower And THe Secret Fan yesterday and havent put it down. Wasn't a book that I was particularly interested in when I read the back but thought I would give it a go anyway and I am so glad I did. What an amazing book so far.

I just gave it to my Mother for her Birthday, I know she'll enjoy it too.

any people seem to say that the further they go in the serie, the less interesting the books are....
Wendy wrote: "I started Snow Flower And THe Secret Fan yesterday and havent put it down.

But I remember I really liked it.

I have "Shelter of Stone" in my stacks but haven't started it yet. I think "Clan of the Cave Bear" has been my favorite. I'm not hearing any good things about the last one.

I enjoyed the first three but I've had books 4 and 5 sitting on the shelf for years (probably as long as it's taken for book 6 to be published). This series is a real commitment of time and I've just not felt I was ready to read 4 and 5.
Goosebumps: You Can't scare me! Im trying to get through all 62 books and I dont care if it make sme look immature aha
I am reading The Irresistible Henry House for an upcoming in-person book disscussion. I am liking the story.
donald ray pollock is the new 'faulkner'. read his KNOCKEMSTIFF and be spellbound. warning, this is intense reading but worth it. i can t remember when i have enjoyed stories more. i hope that doesn t make me as weird as one of the characters in his stories. i think at times we are all weird like them..that may be his theme. his novel is THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME. i intend to read it soon.
I finished Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson last night, and now I'm reading The Easter Parade by Richard Yates.
I just finished reading The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency today and I LOVED it! Now I'm reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie. I am really starting to get into the mystery genre.
I'm almost finished with The Inquisitor's Apprentice which I have really enjoyed. And I'm still reading Fire and Ice, Five Worlds Series which is really goo too.
Just finished Rich Man, Poor Man which I highly recommend. Wonderful book. Pulled another oldie off my TBR shelf to start tomorrow Speak to Me of Love.
I finished Hammerhead Ranch Motel yesterday. The Serge Storm series books are quick fun reads. This was the second in the series.This morning I started Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. People have been telling me that this is where the series takes off.
Reading True Crime by Andrew Klavan. Never heard of this book before but picked it up for 40pence in a charity shop.
Just finished The Summoning By Kelley Armstrong and still reading Apartment 16 By Adam Nevill and I'm starting The Awakening By Kelley Armstrong

Hey Jennifer, I didn't really like Simon and Derek at first especially Derek, wasn't sure if he was on Chloe's side. Simon seemed more friendly towards her and since they helped her at the end I'm getting to like them more
