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!

Default 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.

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.

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.

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!
