The lover's secret by j.c reed

I'm a sucker for romance in books, eventhought this is more of a "boom boom" book.

"gray mountain", by john grisham

"lost in crazytown", by robert bryndza & jan bryndza

though vera diff'rent genres, both are really good reads...

Author Farran Smith Nehme :New York late 1980s. Ceinwen Reilly has just moved from Yazoo City, Mississippi, and she’s never going back, minimum wage job (vintage store salesgirl) and shabby apartment (Avenue C walkup) be damned.

Even though I earlier posted about just starting this book, wanted to give a quick update. Great writing, interesting characters, a mystery, and even a romance! Book was truly a gem!

I’ve just started the Rosie Effect and yes, it’s a continuance of the Rosie Project!

If you enjoy an anal retentive character, which is so well organized they must plan and calculates every event right down to the last minuscule, no doubt you’ll howl with laughter at Don. If your tastes in characters run more towards a free sprit, who flies by the seat of her pants, you’re going to love Rosie!

"Ann Burack-Weiss, a gerontologist with more than forty years of experience, analyzes and engages with the writings of a dozen well-known authors for insights into old age. Featured are Maya Angelou, Colette, Simone de Beauvoir, Joan Didion, M.F.K Fisher, Doris Grumbach, Carolyn Heilburn, Doris Lessing, Florida Scott-Maxwell, May Sarton, Anne Roiphe, and Alexis Kate Shulman, among others, all of whom wrote about essential issues in old age including physical changes and disability, living alone, reflecting on and revaluing the past, generativity, public life, and the changing roles of family and friends. Burack-Weiss frames the reading of these texts in relevant theory and research including an introduction that discusses narrative theory and developmental, gerontological, and feminist perspectives on the older woman" -- Provided by publisher.

This book had me on the edge of my seat, needless to say. I was near vomiting in many parts of this book because WARNING: It is very explicit. The survival instinct kicks in and the rest is history. Here is a link below for more information about Lori and her book and the horrendous journey she had to endure. True story.

I'm reading French Broad by Wilma Dykeman

Its a factual narrative about a local river, the French Broad, and its history beginning in the 1700s. So far I have learned much. I didn't anticipate that so many local "heroes" would be guilty of genocide (of the Cherokee) though.

It does relate how the river helped with trading and is the main reason why towns (like Asheville) came into existence so long ago when settling here was such a difficult thing.

I'm immersing myself in local history. I'm hoping this will be the first book of many on the subject.

Will you read Danish Girl first or watch the film first? I only ask because I'd love to see the movie, and may not have patience or time enough to read the book first.

Ah, predicaments...

Fancy · 12-18-2015, 10:17 AM

Reading various scripts for potential theatre projects next year; even though I said I'd take a break from directing. Oh well.

A few playwrights on my list:
Albi Gorn
Lillian Hellman
Robert Patrick

With the film the first time round.
So this time I will read the book after.
