The post on "What are you reading".

jools66 · 11-13-2017, 01:55 AM

I haven't long started this book.
Really enjoying it so far, there has been a TV series over here in the UK that's based on it too. So when I have finished the book I will see how the show compares.

Wrang1er · 11-14-2017, 08:48 AM

I am starting The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis. This book was in the juvenile section of the library. I loved The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when I was young. This was referenced in the last book I read so I decided to check it out.

jools66 · 12-29-2019, 09:19 AM

This book was recommended by either kris Bryant or Dyking Out.
But what a book. You get so absorbed in it.
A truly remarkable story that is part based on true events.
The film however is one of the worst film adaptions i have ever had the misfortune to watch.
Unlike the book where you connect profoundly with cameron.
The film doesn't manage to achieve whats so ever.
Just stick with the book.
Its s real gem

Since Christmas i have read four novels by Blake Crouch: Recursion as well as the Wayward Pines trilogy.

Highly recommended for just being absorbing as heck

Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lord

GeorgiaMa'am · 01-04-2020, 06:43 PM

_Good In Bed_ by Jennifer Weiner. Yes, I know, I'm coming late to the party. I actually bought the book sometime last year. But I heard an interview with Jennifer Weiner and decided maybe I should go ahead and read it.

cinnamongrrl · 01-09-2020, 05:36 PM

I finally bought and am starting the first in the Game of Thrones series.

I loved the show sooo much. I’m excited to see what extras/differences the books hold.

Can You Ever Forgive Me?: Memoirs of a Literary Forger: Lee Israel

It's only a bit over a hundred pages but it's packed with goodies.....

jools66 · 01-24-2020, 10:05 AM

I liked this book. But i do like kris byrant books in general.
She writes mostly lesbian romance, which until a few years ago i thought wouldn't be something i would be interested in.
This book is a more easy book of hers to read. You pretty much know where the story will end.
Its not my favourite of hers, but still it was good to read.
Kris Bryant books i can recommend whole heartedly are Touch (the chemistry is off the chart in this book), Forget Me Not, Falling. And Taste is a absolute great book if you are into cooking and romance (one of my favs because of the way kris describes the cooking and food side of things)
And if you like fairy short stories And kittens that steal the limelight in a book Tinsel. (i am more of a dog fan but even i fell in love with this precious kitten)

GeorgiaMa'am · 01-24-2020, 08:31 PM

_Kitty and the Midnight Hour_ by Carrie Vaughn. Werewolves, vampires, sex. I'm not sure I'm really going to like this book - although it has a lot of fans - but I'll probably finish it. It will be a quick and easy read, and right now I need some bubblegum for my brain.

GeorgiaMa'am · 02-02-2020, 10:01 AM

I finished _Kitty and the Midnight Hour_ by Carrie Vaughn. IThen I finished _Kitty Goes to Washington_, and now I'm reading _Kitty Takes a Holiday_. They're amusing and very relaxing.

I've also started _Make Your Home Among Strangers_ by Jennine Capo Crucet. It's a book that wouldn't normally have appeared on my radar, but about a week ago there was a story in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Apparently some special snowflake students at a Georgia public college (I forget which one) had a book burning. The book is required reading for all entering freshmen, and it's part of their cultural diversity program. Some white students took the whole white privilege idea wrong, as some usually do. Well, just say "book burning" and it makes me want to read the book. It's a YA novel about a Cuban American college student and her experiences attending a prestigious and mostly white college. I'm looking forward to it.

Like, i sincerely enjoyed the MaryJanice Davidson Undead and Unpopular, etc. series...

The Ethics of Ambiguity (Simone de Beauvoir, 1947).

I'm slowly reading Simone de Beauvoir's book and supplemental reading material, a relevant essay, authored by Charlotte Moore (LINK).

My Story as an American Au Pair in the Loire Valley (French Illusions Book 1)

Hi everyone. This is the first of a two book collection, and I have to say i really did enjoy it a lot.
The title pretty much says it.
Its set in the very late 1970's early 80's. So be warned about some dated lingo and practices
Its on kindle and in the uk its very cheap at the moment (think its under £3)
I have also completed the second book to this series.
Check it out on the reviews and description online, and see what you think.

Fabulous historical tracing of how women were viewed throughout history to today when women are still misunderstood.

As part of my Summer bucket list, I am reading a classic - One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.
