I recently read Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson.
It is soooooo funny! This woman just looks at the world in a whole
different way. They have it at Barnes and Noble, but I got it at our
library in Wisconsin. I loved this book!

The Black House
 
Just finished The Black House by Peter May. He is a Scottish mystery writer. I enjoyed it. Does anyone have a nook who would be willing to lend books with me?

I haven't started reading it yet, but it is due to be delivered today. I have listened to Ric Edleman's podcasts and am excited to read his book. It is all designed for me to get to TV as soon as possible!

I have a Nook Simple Touch but thought they told us at the training session at B & N that you could not share with a Simple Touch. At any rate, I read mostly ebooks from the library, and they disappear when due. I occasionally download the Free Friday book if it looks any good, and also some other free books.

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn good so far but really looking forward To Gone Girl!

I really like Gillian Flynn. I'm currently reading "Bad Habits" by Jenny Mc Carthy. It's amusing, and rather graphic in places. Not something I would normally choose but I'm bored and sick and it was a free download.

Just finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. It was quite funny in a Brit Com kind of way. It is also a deeply spiritual yet nonreligious novel. The author wrote it for her father who was dying. A wonderful reflection on the most important things in life and a "how to" guide on self compassion!

You will know how not profound my reading habits are when I tell you I just finished Jonathan Kellerman's most recently released paperback.

It made me stay up almost all night two nights.

I enjoy his books so much.

Can't wait.

Bout halfway through The Panther. Good story but long.

Doesn't it make you feel like you got your money's worth.

So hard to find a book for our Book Club...has to be a good one...but can't be one that's been read by any of us! Any good Book Club choices from anyone?

My old book club back home is reading In the Garden of the Beasts. I haven't read it so I can't give a review, but it sounds interesting. Here's the article from the New York Times: ?In the Garden of Beasts? by Erik Larson ? Review - NYTimes.com

11/22/63 by Stephen King, it would make for a good discussion.

Somehow this post was posted twice.

Hahahaha! True! There was a time when I would buy a 425 page book over a 350 page book because I would get an extra 75 pages for the same price!
