The Year of Pleasures - Elizabeth Berg
Book on CD narrated by Sandra Burr
3***

After her husband dies, Betta Nolan sells their Boston home and moves to a small town in Illinois to begin a new phase in her life. Starting over is much easier said than done and she is still grieving. Making new friends and reaching out to old friends she hasn’t seen in decades help her to adjust.

I like Berg’s writing. She has a way of exploring the drama in everyday lives that rings true. However, I didn’t connect to Betta and the other characters this time out. I’m thinking it’s because of her relationships in her new town with much younger characters – 20-somethings Matthew and Jovani, and the 10-year-old Benny who lives next door. This may have been partly due to the audio performance by Sandra Burr; she read Benny with an exaggeratedly young voice so that he sounded more like a six-year-old. Betta’s old college friends also weren’t very well developed, not really contributing much to the story line beyond offering some advice and support.

It was an enjoyable, quick read, but not a great one.

I gave it 3 stars Nicole, it was ok. Not particularly well written but a harrowing story. It's a non fiction and they leave a lot unsaid.

On the Banks of Plum Creek - Laura Ingalls Wilder
Book on CD performed by Cherry Jones
4****

Book four in the “Little House” series finds the Ingalls family in Minnesota and settled into the sod house near the Banks of Plum Creek. Seven-year-old Laura narrates this story full of the innocent adventures of childhood – playing along the creek or exploring the prairie. It also clearly depicts the hardship and dangers of pioneer life – wildfire, blizzards and other threats of nature. But the Ingalls family is blessed with a great deal of love and good parents who instill valuable life lessons on their young children.

Cherry Jones is wonderful performing these books on audio. She is so expressive in conveying the excitement of a new place to explore, the joy of a small gift of candy, the fear and anxiety of being left alone as a storm approaches, and the love of a family who feels safe when they are together.

Okay, based on the fact you really like The Night Circus than I think you would enjoy The Magus. I've read both and they both have that mystical/fantasy thing going.

I'm reading , and ( an oldies but goodies kick, I guess).

The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow– Rita Leganski – 2.5**
There is a nugget of a great premise here. I like how she used the innocence of a child to help the wounded adults around him heal. I wish she had spent more time developing the story, and less time expounding on Bonaventure’s unusual hearing abilities. I get that Leganski was going for an ethereal quality, but I think she went too far in that direction and forgot the story.

11/22/63 - Stephen King
Audio book performed by Craig Wasson, with an afterword by the author.
4****

The cover art and the title really tell the reader up front that the focus of this novel will be the Kennedy assassination. I’ll admit I was a bit frustrated that it took King so long to get to the critical events of November 1963. This is NOT to say that the book is slow. King is a master at pacing a thriller to keep the reader turning pages. However convoluted and long the journey, I’m glad I went along. Craig Wasson was superb performing this audio. He even did a fair impersonation of real figures and had reasonably good regional accents.

Just finished Feed which really makes one think about the internet and our future. Now I'm reading War Brides.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Just finished Speaking from Among the Bones; this is one of the better ones in the Flavia de Luce series.

[Sue]

I finished The Comfort of Lies a few days ago. Very good. I started A Cold and Lonely Place by Sara J. Henry and it's good.

[Whitney]

I have been download happy lately, especially when it comes to the daily deal on Nook.... My current steal is Faithless by Joyce Carol Oates. They are short stories and so far I have really been enjoying them! Especially since it was only 99¢ !

[Shelley]

Karen M, I agree with you about Dorothy Sayers. I think the trilogy of Peter/Harriet books is actually the most informative thing on male/female relations since Jane Austen. Sayers isn't Austen, but she's quite acute.

I've just finished Insurgent by Veronica Roth and am thinking I might start Under the Dome by Stephen King - a little bit daunting as it's so big but it's not going to be a difficult read. Haven't read anything he's done since the 1990's except the Dark Tower series and Cell, but everything before that, so it'll be interesting to see if he's changed...or if I have!

I have this one in my Kindle TBR. What did you think of it, Claire? I thought the premise was fascinating but sometimes the execution doesn't hold up.

I pulled out my copy of "Under the Dome" also Claire. I want to read it before the TV series starts this summer.

[Lori]

I've started The King of Lies and it looks as if I'll stick with it. I couldn't last with The Last Summer. I think it was over load on English reads but that's hard to believe for this Anglophile. The John Hart book is a break from more female-oriented books. This is pretty macho and I lose patience with the thumping of the chest stuff. The story seems good though.

[Gabriella]

I was reading Children of Cambodia's Killing Fields: Memoirs by Survivors by DithPran, but the short accounts were very similar and they don't go into much emotion, leaving me very disappointed with it. I might finish it. I have started a new book called When Broken Glass Floats: Growing Up Under the Khmer Rouge by Chanrithy Him, which is about the same thing but it's by one person so it goes into a lot more depth.

[Hans]

I am re reading Joe Abercrombies The Blade Itself. It´s just marvellous with the best characters ever written. If you want to read my review you`ll find it under:
