What's everbody reading right now?
The Bronze Horseman.
So freaking good! I think books with sexual tension make me fly through them b/c I just want it to happen already. Those are my deep literary thoughts for the day.
Happiest place on Earth!
Re: What's everbody reading right now?
Ummm, I've been reading Amish romances like there is no tomorrow. . . the only thing that sucks terribly about them is the sexual tension always fades to black. Come on already! Who cares if God is watching. LOL!
DUDE, that's like book blue balls. I think that would upset me.
This is a perfect example of why I enjoy reading trashy romance novels by Stephanie Laurens. They offer a mystery (admittedly, predictable) and they offer lots of sexual banter. Sometimes I am just in the mood to read some fluff.
I just finished another random Pixel of Ink freebie that was really really good. I love trying out random free books - I've had more hits than misses.
It's a memoir called End of Boys by Peter Brown Hoffmeister. From an Amazon review that describes it well..."End of Boys is the gripping story of a sad, twisted childhood, and the struggle of a gifted young boy to emerge, whole, from it--all the more disturbing, powerful and, ultimately, uplifting because it's true.
Right now I'm simultaneously reading:
(On my Kindle, #6 in the Outlander series)
and:
(This book is about the natural gas industry, and specifically hydrofracking, which is a controversial method being used around the country in gas drilling. This book is about Dimock, PA and the effects the industry has had on their living environment. It's particularly heartbreaking to me, as the area I live in is right in the middle of the Marcellus shale, and this is going on right in our backyards. Defintely worth a read if you care about environmental issues.)

Just downloaded the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks from the library. My SIL does medical research with sickle cell disease, and she recommended it. Honestly, I'm not super excited about it (probably why I haven't started it yet), but I feel like once I get into it I'll enjoy it, and I should read it.
I just finished The Help and it was so. good. Could not put it down.
I'm also on the waiting list for Hunger Games and One Day e-books through the library.
Our crazy, wonderful life

I read this book several months ago. It was interesting from a science perspective, and also interesting reading the story of the family going through all of this. It was a little dry in spots, but overall I enjoyed it. Definitely give it a try!
Loved both of those. Like pps, The Immortal Life was a little dry in parts, but so far its my favorite book I've read so far this year.
I'm currently reading Girls in White Dresses by Jennifer Close.
I literally have all of these in my kindle and read them all this year. All are great - enjoy! Now I know who to bug for book suggestions
'The Shack' had great imagery but in the end I didn't like the book as much as I'd hoped, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Agreed. Shocking that I agree with Trickey, I know.
That's our book club pick this month! Sounds like we could have a small discussion here since a few of you guys have read it.
I really liked Firefly Lane and I downloaded another one of her books (Winter Gardens) but I haven't read it yet.
I also downloaded A Discovery of Witches but haven't read it yet. Coryswife - one of my friends loved this book so I'm holding out hope!
I am almost finished with A Bend in the Road. I have really enjoyed it but I heart Nicholas Sparks:)
Agreed, The Help was great.
I just finished The Language of Flowers (pretty good. I'd give it an 8) for one book club and started The Hunger Games for another book club.
