TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermHandmaid's Tale and the Help are both very good books. I think I need to re-read both of them.
I just finished reading The Killer of Little Shepards about a serial killer in France in the 1800s. Next I am going to finish one of the two books I am in the middle of: 100,000,000 Guinea Pigs and Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman. On my long drives home from work I am listening to Devil in the White City on my iPod. Someone on this board recommend that to me. I need an easy read next, I've been reading a lot of science and crime books lately.
Well I've been being really cheap and only doing the free books for my kindle so, right now i'm reading Clouded Rainbow by Jonathan Sturak.
this is whats posted on amazon for the book : Roger Belkin, an educated businessman and devoted husband, takes the love of his life, Lois, out for a night of intimacy in the sprawling city. On their return home, a mysterious rainstorm devours their vehicle and inflames a horrific multi-car accident, which tears the couple apart. Alone, destitute, and disoriented, Roger battles the city's shadows, the trigger-happy police, and his own tragic flaws to find his lost wife.
Before this one I read the Ultimate Choice By Lisa C. Hinsley. It's was really good.
here is the what they have posted for this one: In a dystopian near-future, overpopulation has led to a government dedicated to reducing citizen numbers. Suicide is legalised, food is rationed, and reproduction forbidden without permission. Cassie O?Neil broke the law, she had sex before marriage. She is sentenced to die on the game show, The Ultimate Choice, but when a contestant collapses Cassie takes her chance and runs. Staying alive is hard with no ration card or place to hide. But she is a woman who refuses to die.
I think I've read 12 or maybe more books in the past 2 months lol the free ones seem to keep getting better and better can't put my kindle down!
Growing Up Bin Laden by Jean Sasson... it's the biography of Osama Bin Laden's first wife and fourth son through a biographer who specializes in telling women's stories from the middle east. It's really quite good, and interesting perspective (they don't support his jihad terror work, but you get some of how Osama became what he did).
Her book Princess (it's the biography of a princess in the Saudi Arabian royal family) is amazing.
I loved The Help - it was wonderful. I loved Water for Elephants (I didn't buy it forever, and wish I'd bought it earlier), the Steig Larson series of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and I'm a sucker for Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series as well as all things Nora Robert.
I'm currently reading "Monster" by Jonathan Kellerman which is really good so far, I'm about half way through and have a hard time putting it down. It's a detective/murder/crime type novel.
I read "The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks not long ago and that was good. Pretty much a typical Sparks book, light easy read. A movie based on the book is coming out in 2012.
I'm currently on book 14 out of the 20 I want to read this year, and other than the two I mentioned above, the other ones that stand out that I've read this year are "Room" by Emma Donoghue, "Just After Sunset" by Stephen King, and "Unbearable Lightness" by Portia DeRossi.
My three amazon books are arriving in the mail today! I can't wait!
I'm a little behind on my reading right now, so I'm trying to catch up by reading 3 books at once (yeah, it didn't make sense to me, either...)
The Likeness by Tana French: It's a terribly slow starter, but it's starting to pick up some. It's a murder mystery about a detective who's working on a case where the body was someone who looks just like her and is identified with the name of one of her aliases that she has used as a detective. My daughter gave me this book on my birthday, and I stupidly left my copy of it in the room where she had her ultrasound, so I had to check out another copy from the library. I hope the person who re-appropriated it is enjoying it!
The Little Women Letters by Gabrielle Donnelly: I haven't gotten very far into this one, but The Little Women is my favorite classic book, so I naturally had to read the book about the descendants of its characters!
Waiter Rant by The Waiter: The blog this book came from is hilarious, so I thought it would be fun to read. I was right. The blog and the book are all observations of the service industry from the point of view of an anonymous waiter. There are some seriously messed-up people out there!
After I finish these, the next book on my list is Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner. All that reading should catch me up nicely!
