I'm a decent chunk of the way into Beatitude by Larry Closs. It focuses heavily on these two guys who are obsessed with the beat generation... and Jack K.
Despite the fact that I've never read the beats... I am quite enjoying this novel!

It's so sad, and human and bright story

I'm reading Maine on my Kindle right now!"
At first I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it's moving along!





What did you think of The Book Thief? I finished it last month and then am now reading The Annotated Peter Pan (The Centennial Edition). It's interesting to see where Brom looked for his inspiration and how he retold the classic story.

I loved The Book Thief. It's not forgettable. I'm reading the other books, but somehow this book popping up in my mind and memory again and again.

I'm really enjoying it and the characters/plot definitely keep me interested.

I've started reading an old favorite, Murder on the Orient Express. Since I'm writing a variant of a locked-room mystery (a group of whitewater rafters stuck in a remote river canyon with a killer, in my case), I thought I'd return to this locked-room mystery written by a master, for inspiration.

I just bought it to my mother for Christmas. A wonderful book!


Rayna -- I appreciate your feedback about The Time Traveler's Wife and am delighted to see you're enjoying Her Fearful Symmetry.
Gitte -- What a fabulous present! Aren't the pictures just gorgeous?!



Loved this book!"
Jeane- I'm just starting this as well. :) Hope you enjoy it, we'll have to chat ..."
I am really enjoying it and it is very well written.


Eon is also very interesting. I love anything based on dragons. Plus it has a very Tamora Pierce vibe to it. Anyone read it? I know the sequel is already out.


Are you referring to Seabiscuit: An American Legend? I hope so, I've got that one on my TBR shelf.

Hi Think! I'd be really interested to hear what you think of The Book, once you've finished! I've read two of M. Clifford's other books and really, thoroughly enjoyed them. I've been wondering if I should give The Book a try. :)

Yes I do. I have just finished it and really enjoyed it!


Oh, my bad! I'm all confused.
Okay, I have read The Book Thief and loved it and do find myself thinking about it often. In my post, however, I meant The Child Thief. That is the one I recently finished and have found myself also randomly thinking about.
I am greatly enjoying The Annotated Peter Pan (The Centennial Edition). Learning Barrie's history and Pan's back story and comparing it with Brom's interpretation of The Child Thief has been interesting.
I also just DVRed Neverland on the SciFi channel and look forward to watching that as well. If I understand correctly, it's what happens before Pan makes it to Neverland.
While I'm on the Pan flight, I think I may also rent Finding Neverland. I've seen it before, but think it would take on a whole new meaning now that I know more about Barrie.
Okay, I think I'm all updated now and corrected with the two similar book titles. :o) Thanks for catching the mix up, Jane!

And I loved The Book Thief it's in my top 20 list of all time!

Oh, good. Thanks for answering.

Starting to read Halfway To The Grave by Jeaninne Frost (Misspelled authors name, don't have book in front of me.)






I love Jeaniene Frost's books -- hope you enjoy it!

Now I'm starting The Redbreast, the first English book in the Harry Hole series... hope it's good! Anyone started this series yet? His name kills me, but I'm hearing good things. :D

I really enjoyed The Book. You can read my review if you want. It's not much, but it's what I thought. LoL What other books have you read of M. Clifford that are good? If you don't mind me asking...

How did you like Mudbound? I was just reading some reviews on it this morning.

I really liked it but found the subject matter depressing. I thought it was very well written and kept me turning the pages. Its hard to believe people could treat other people like this but I guess its an important part of American history.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sounds like an interesting read!
