December Reading--Last Books Read in 2016
Comments (111)Carolyn, I read a couple some years ago. I must check and see if my library has reprints. I am reading my books slowly at present, there seems to be so many other things to do, like dropping off to sleep! My D gave me a small CD player for Xmas with handy top buttons. Just right for listening to recorded favourite books. I have been accumulating some in case of being confined to bed or having the eye operation for cataracts. I am doing a Scarlett O'Hara on that!...See MoreWhat are you reading? January 2024 Edition
Comments (95)My sister just sent me her list of books she is planning on purchasing. (She shares with me). She likes more fantasy/science fiction than I do, we both seem to like historical fiction, stories with strong females, I like biographies more than she does (added the last book to her list). Any feedback on any of these titles: Ten Birds that changed the world The tattooist of Auschwitz The Giver of Stars Stars of Alabama The Book of Lost Friends The Once and Future Witches Stolen: the astonishing odyssey of Five boys along the reverse underground RR The Four Winds The Keeper of Lost Things Love, Life and Elephants The Last Bookshop in London The Life of Pi The Girl of the Limberlost The Poisonwood Bible House in the Cerulean Sea The Island of Sea Women Lisa Tan’s Circle of Women The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post...See MoreWhat are you reading?

Comments (72)Well I'm certainly not going to read it, but this review of Danielle Steele's latest is hilarious: https://wapo.st/3Jz3HZB. A sample: I experienced déjà vu so often while reading “Only the Brave” that I worried I was losing my mind and then began to hope so. Typical example: On Page 110, Steel writes, “Hitler’s generals, led by Göring, were preparing the Final Solution, to eradicate all Jews from the face of the earth.” On the facing page, we’re told, “The Führer and his generals were obsessed with this plan, called ‘the Final Solution,’ to obliterate all Jews from the planet.” This is the kind of book you can read while watching TV. Or operating heavy equipment....See MoreWhat are you reading? Nov. 2024 Edition
Comments (38)Sometimes I just like a title. On the reading paradise forum, someone mentioned Sarah Canary. I reserved it from the library and read it. Initially, it was really confusing and not pulling me in. After about 40 or 50 pages though, it got really good. It was very well written, and had lots of humor in it but was just very different book. I just finished it and I think I'd give it 4 stars. When I went back to find the post that mentioned it, it was a books that I could not finish thread. The poster had mentioned it was her favorite book ( and she has it as auser name) but several others had tried it and did not finish! Anyway, I enjoyed it. It reminds me a little bit of Confederacy of Dunces which I did enjoy but was all over the place. This book was a bit less work, but similar adventure. Editing to add, I just saw on goodreads that the author, Karen Joy Fowler, wrote The Jane Austen Book Club. I think that was pretty popular, though I never read it....See More- 7 months ago
