Jezzie, I'm still doing Christopher Hitchens, God is not Great. I love it. I like that he has such a sense of humor and is SO wise.

I am reading a little book called Tickled to Death by Joan Hess. I like her series and somehow missed this one.. so I'm catching up so I can get her latest...so far it is very good...

The Dry Grass of Summer, by Anna Jean Mayhew....very much like the book THE HELP, its a very good read, quick and really makes you feel for the characters.

Grace Livington Hill
I am reading Grace L Hill Christian fiction romance, all written in the early 1900,s. Fabulous page turners!
:) |
I'm reading the bible, NIV version. I have never read the whole thing in my 60 + years, and want to finish it before I die-also doing an online commentary to help me understand it. I try to do a chapter a day, in total it will take over 5 years.

On my kindle I'm reading It's a Dunder-Bull Wife by Karen Cantwell. I just love the way she writes. Her books are very entertaining. Never stop reading :heart: |
In the President's Secret Service by Ronald Kessler. OMG!! Some of our presidents were not at all nice.:eek: ROFLOL especially Johnson.
|
The Girl who Played with Fire. Its better so far than the tattoo one.
|
No Game for a Dame by M. Ruth Myers.
About a female Private Detective in the 1930. Written in the 30's venacular. Very fun...so far. Anne |
|
Listening to Nora Roberts TRIBUTE
Reading on the kindle, LOOSE ENDS A Mary O'Reilly Paranormal Mystery Book 1 (cute ghost mystery) |
Ordered Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks from Amazon. About the first Native American Indian to attend Harvard in 1665. Sounds like a Jezzie book to me. I'm anxious to get started.

I just put Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See on my Kindle. Looking forward to starting it as soon as I finish It's a Dunder-Dull Wife by Karen Cantwell. Have you read that one Jezzie? Sounds real good.
|
Just started Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, great read!
|
Our book club met tonight. We chose the book called The Tower, the Zoo and the Tortoise for this months book. I will let you know how I like it but it sounds like fun.
|
Trying to keep Jezzie's book thread going.
Listening to Escape, Barbara Delinsky Reading on Kindle THE SURRENDERED Chang-rae-Lee |
I'm reading a light mystery called Uncommon Grounds by Sandra Balzo.
|
Having the Kindle is driving me crazy with reading. I don't have time to be reading and the problem my library loans expire and I haven't finished a book. Then I have to get in line again to get the book. Too cheap to BUY a book.
|
Finished Caleb's Crossing, excellent. Caleb is an Native American Indian befriended by a preacher's daughter. He ends up graduating from Harvard. The story is of him crossing over from one culture to another. (maybe) Based on fact.
Just started The Hunger Wars by Suzanne Collins, whoa..........another good one. Movie comes out next month I think. Ginny |
I just got, "Pensionize Your Nest Egg," today so will be starting that soon.
I need to learn about all this stuff...wish me luck. |
Listening to JDROBB Kindred in Death.

Just finished book one and two of the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins....very interesting and she's an excellent author. The books are very thought provoking. I, too, am Kindle bound and have too much to read as I keep picking up the freebies.I started the Samantha Moon series by J.R. Rain. Interesting setup as it's about a female detective who's a vampire, recently turned who has to cope with children and a husband who is not enthralled with his wife.
Also reading DT (dead tree) books dealing with Probating an estate and The New Atkins for a New You. I, too, am easily distracted. I read. on the average, two or three books a week and have nonfiction stuff that I dip into and out of. M |
Listening to INVISIBLE WALL by Harry Bernstein and John Lee Pre WWII story about Jewish and Christian families living close to one another.
Reading on Kindle THE CREED LEGACY by Linda Lael Miller (light romance) |
I'm reading Guilty Wives by James Patterson and next is Betrayal by Danielle Steele.I like new books that I can read in 1 day.Next is The Diet Cure by Julia Ross that I missed when it came out.
|
Finished the Invisible Wall audio book and now listerning to Looks to Die For, Janice Kaplan.
Reading on Kindle Richard Russo's Empire Falls. Maybe I'll get it finished this second time around. |
Mind if I join in? I read daily. Just finished David Baldacci "Split Second". Love the murder mystery types. Not sure why. I would NOT want to watch the movie of these things, people dead, shootings, tortures, etc. but find the intrigue behind all of it facinating. Onward to Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game by Dan Berry. Completely out of what I normally read, but then I need different types. Not sure if I am going to like this one. (also reading Organic Lawn Care, ha ha!)
