Kimberly, you will love the owl book. I have been yapping about that book way to long. finally people are reading it. Better late than never.

[Kimberly]

I loved it Janice and Chrissie! Wesley was wonderful!

Might I ask if either of you know other books like it that you'd recommend?

[Janice, Moderator]

Sorry, I don't Kimberly.

Kimberly,there are book sites where you can find books that are like ones that you like. I wish I could think of the name of one right now. I know that my public library has a link to at least one of them so you could try that.

[Kimberly]

Thanks Sue, I found a link already with a whole bunch I put a couple on hold already. Thanks though!

Not me either. It is one of a kind.

[Chrissie]

Kimberly, if you find one similar as Wesley and has good, please let me know. I would be very happy if you sent me a PM, so I absolutely do not loose track of it. Oh, there is one about that parrot that speaks, but it was not as good. When he died everyone was talking about it. I cannot remember the name.

[Kimberly]

I know what book that is ? Is that it? I'm just looking reading books with a general animal theme Birds, lions, horses etc. I put one about a lion on hold

[Kimberly]

I'm now reading I'm really liking it.

Here is the book about the parrot: Alex & Me: How a Scientist and a Parrot Discovered a Hidden World of Animal Intelligence--and Formed a Deep Bond in the Process. I fo not think it is as good as Wesley.

Let's see what you think of this?! It sounds a bit sad giventhe illness that occurs.

[Kat]

Finally finished Ashes ! Not bad, but had a huge shift in the middle and the story changed completely.

Now to finish The Apocalypse Gene

Then maybe I can start the December challenge finally!

Its pretty good thus far. I read about 45% of it last night and I like the way he writes, It's very different than the movie thats coming out based on it.

[Kimberly]

Mine too Judy, I've loved him since Good Will Hunting. I think he's really coming into his own these last few years in terms of the acting projects he's been choosing.

Thanks, Kiberly.

I'm reading "Rebirth" by David Longueay (http://rebirthofisrael.com). It's about how the holocaust and WWII impacted the establishment of Israel as a state, with sympathies given to Israel. I love it so far!

I borrowed that one from the library months ago but never read it. Might have to read it in January or February :)

I started The Postmistress last night. It's for my Year Long Challenge (favorite flower on the cover). On my way into town this morning, I will start the audiobook, Great Expectations.

[book:The Postmistress sounds really interesting Janice! Looking forward to hearing what you think of it.

I'm currently reading a dirty old Zombie book The Unwashed dead, and then....I'm not sure!

They look good, but the question is do they smell good? LOL! (Just funnin') :-)"

They certainly don't smell good.....they need a good hosing down!

[Kat]

D'oh, of course I know what to read next - December challenge of course!

[Valerie]

Finished read Just started reading ... trying to catch back up with my reading goal. Only 1 book behind now, and this will be a fast read for me.... so then I'll be back on track! And that leaves me only a few books down from making my goal!! Yay!! :)

[Linda]

Almost done with A Clash of Kings the second in the series. I really struggled getting through this one although I did like A Game of Thrones. I don't know if I will read any more in this series unless someone out there in goodreads land can convince me that they get better. The next one has over 1200 pages!

[Janice, Moderator]

Kat wrote: "D'oh, of course I know what to read next - December challenge of course!"

Zombies on Ice? :)

[Kim]

Reading Deception Point for another group's monthly theme of espionage and it has a snowy cover, for yet another group's monthly challenge.

[Janice, Moderator]

Good work on combining the challenges like that Kim.

I thought I was teasing you, but it was Kat reading the Zombie books. I was confused. *blush*

Looking forward to hearing what you think of Looking for Alaska I've been meaning to read that one.

[Kimberly]

I started and am liking it. I really enjoy this paranormal romance series :)

Nope, its ghosts instead!

Umm, not really Judy. Adventure, yes. Memoir, no. It's fiction.

[Janice, Moderator]

Judy, have you read Ada Blackjack: A True Story of Survival in the Arctic? I don't know if it's in audiobook format. I haven't read it myself but a friend highly recommends it.

Judy, I will be done with that book in a day or two, I have heard more than half. Only 3 more hours of listening to do. SO far I think it's awesome. But I have heard some people aren't too satisfied with the latter half, so I should reserve my judgement till I finish it.

[Chrissie]

I have noted that many of my GR friends have The Silence of Trees on the TBR lists. I was interested in it too. However it was a real disappointment. I have explained in my review why I only gave it two stars. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Now I will begin The Tricking of Freya. What do I think the book is about? A multigenerational saga filled with Icelandic myths, legends, culture and landscapes. Good writing. Exploration of family secrets. I hope I am right.

Looking forward to your review of The Tricking of Freya Chrissie.

[Chrissie]

I will do that Kimberly!

Today I just began Earth Abides - just a few pages in and I am already loving it. I read The Postmistress last year and enjoyed it. An interesting aspect of WWII with the female journalists. In some ways it reminded of the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which I also greatly enjoyed. I can't figure out why some readers don't enjoy that book.

[Valerie]

Just started reading ... trying to finish/catch up on my GR goal and this author's books are a fast read for me ;)
