L.M. Smith (ladymuse82) | 176 comments I just finished: American Gypsy A Memoir by Oksana Marafioti

I know that this isn't the R2R thread and when I first picked this book up I thought it was out of our genre but, actually, there is a lot of paranormal stuff in this book (her dad holds regular seances on a regular basis, for example). Even though it's not fiction I can't help but highly recommend it. I really enjoyed it. Below is my review:

An enlightening and inspiring read: 5/5 stars

Unlike so many other memoirs, this book is not about placing blame on others, boasting of one’s accomplishments, or wallowing in self-pity. With the brilliantly executed purity of a professional documentary, these pages reveal life as an emigrant from the Soviet Union, an uncertain young woman, and a Roma from the perspective of the author.

Oksana Marafioti’s raw honesty is both refreshing and heart wrenching at the same time. In this book, American Gypsy, she shares her strongest memories and deepest emotions without ever asking for pity, sympathy, approval, or even understanding from the reader. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a fly on the inside of someone else’s life - this book will give you that experience and what you take from it will be entirely your own as Oksana makes no attempt to sway you - and that’s a good thing!

I absolutely loved this book and no matter how badly I might have needed to at times (when sleep beckoned at 1 a.m., for example) I simply couldn’t put it down. I devoured every word; frequently reminding myself that I was reading a reality that someone had actually lived and wanting, with all my heart, for Oksana to have a happy ending while fearing that, because this is reality, she may not. I couldn’t wait to get to the final page and yet I never wanted it to end. This is a beautifully crafted work of literary art and will receive a place of respect and admiration on my shelf.

I'm currently reading the following:

The Ark (Tyler Locke, #1) by Boyd Morrison
It's interesting... got that whole 'End of the World' thing going on. I like books where there are clues and they have to figure out what the riddle is to save the world.

The Scent of Shadows (Signs of the Zodiac, #1) by Vicki Pettersson
This one is... odd. Not quite what I expected, I have to say. But I'm plugging through it and keeping an open mind.

Once I have those done, I'm going to start reading the following:

Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) by Jeaniene Frost   Burning Alive (Sentinel Wars #1) by Shannon K. Butcher   Ghost Story (The Dresden Files, #13) by Jim Butcher

☀Rachael☀ (jimbunni) Yeah i read The Scent of Shadows (Signs of the Zodiac, #1) by Vicki Pettersson I enjoyed it but it wasn't what I expected at all. Not sure if I'll continue with this series or not?!

Jennifer Rainey (jennifer_rainey) | 154 comments So when I'm not working, I've been trying to read The Necromancer (Johannes Cabal #1) by Jonathan L. Howard . I really love it so far! It's just that between working (department store + back to school time = CRAZY!!) and prepping my next novel, I've had no free time at all!

Naomi (nomispp) | 14 comments I am currently reading Samantha Moon The First Four Vampire for Hire Novels, Plus the Christmas Moon Novella and a Never-Before-Published Short Story by J.R. Rain it has 4 books and 2 short stories in the one book.
It's great to have the stories altogether, I'm up to book 3 now. She is a mother of 2 who drives a minivan who was changed into a Vampire. But she tries to live her life as normal as possible. Sam is a witty woman but is dedicated to her family and work as a PI. I love it so far!! It is a great read for all of us mothers!!

Frank Spinney | 44 comments I am currently listening to The Supernatural by David L Golemon's. It's a great ghost story. I have only recently returned to the genre. Really like a go supernatural book. I read Ghosts by Noel Hynd which was really good and Im also reading the Floating Staircase by Ronald Malfi. I have read several more but would love some good ghost story recommendations.

I'm definitely checking these out, Fred! I love ghost stories. Have you read Ghost by Alan Lightman? It's not scary, it's more about how humans perceive the paranormal, but I thought it was a really fascinating and gripping story.
