I gave it 3 stars. I found the writing style difficult to understand. The themes of alcoholism and child abuse were disturbing.
I can't say I would have chosen to read The Bone People, but it's a group read for another group. It'll be interesting to see what the others think.

Yes, please let me know.

It'll be interesting to see what the others think."The Bone People was one of the first literary fiction books that I ever read and I too found the writing style difficult but there were alot of images that I really liked and some of the characters I found fascinating.

I quit cooking some years ago when I went on strike, and never picked it back up again. Now that I'm alone, I think I've forgotten how to cook.
I "boiled" chicken drumsticks in mushroom sauce the other day and have tried to salvage them in two different ways. Let's just say, all three dishes were fails.
Break out the ice cream!
Janice. I marked The Art of Eating In: How I Learned to Stop Spending and Love the Stove to read and my mom just laughed and said to tell her how that works out. Cooking is so not my forte......even with people to cook for.

The Joan Rivers book looks good, Kimberly. I might have to add that one to my TBR list. She is TOO MUCH. I think I have the Weight Watchers book. It DOES have some good recipies. If this is the one that has the turkey meatloaf, you should try it. It is one of my favorites!
Very excited to bring home
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. This is our bookclub read for next month.
Today I picked up
by Mary Sharratt,
by Joan Wickersham, and
by Gillian Flynn.

I started LITTOC long back and was more than halfway through when I had to return the book I borrowed from friend. Now I think I need to start from the very beginning and read it completely. Reread OHYOS, wow! That does seem like it should suffice for a one-time read, still on my list. Good luck with finishing them this year or then, maybe, the next. :D
Susan wrote: "Today I picked up by Mary Sharratt, by Joan Wickersham..."Ooooh - I would love to hear how you like Illuminations: A Novel of Hildegard von Bingen. I have this book on my wishlist.
Went to the library and got these yesterday:

Not yet but I have heard so many good things about it.
Kimberly wrote: "I picked up these holds: which I got for my brother who developed a severe penut aller..."Ooh, Christmas gift baskets, interesting. Be sure to paste in 'what you made lately' folder. :)
Picked up these holds: 
and
the second book is to be the South African version of

Oh, that title calls to me. I am going to have to go buy
