I finished Rescue in Arabia: A True Story of Abduction, Tragedy and Hope by Marla Buchanan. It was a free kindle download. I've found some gems among the free downloads. This was not one of them. I don't mind reading about religion but this book was logged down with it.
I am now reading There Is No Goat by Jennifer Dunham. True story of a female US intelligence agent in Afghanistan. This is one of the gems that is free.
About one-third into Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. Enjoying it so far. I like the fantasy of being able to do a do-over with your life, over and over, until you get it "right."
I am about 100 pages into Living with the Wild God by Barbara Ehrenreich. http://www.amazon.com/Living-Wild-Go...996557-2582354 I am not sure what I think about it. There is a word for what she describes as happening to her - dissociative, which she seems to acknowledge and then dismiss. So far, she sounds downright nutty. I'm hoping to get to the bottom of it though. The writing itself is good.
I'm reading Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris. I picked it from the public library today, and I'm cracking up! I don't think I can read it in public without bursting out laughing. I'm on "The Toad, The Turtle, And The Duck" story and this is hilarious. Best random book I've chosen in a long time, and realizing I really enjoy reading humor.
I just finished The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater.
On a small island called Thisby in the Scorpio Sea water horses are caught and raced every November. These "mythical" horses are never to be trusted and won't be tamed. Sean knows the horses best and he has won the race four times. Puck is a girl and has never been in the race. She will be the first girl to ever ride and also rides her own horse. Both Sean and Puck need to win for different reasons.
The story was very enjoyable and entertaining. Oh yeah….and I cried at the end.
Finished Seth Kantner's "Ordinary Wolves", which is a very, very good book that I highly recommend to anyone who (like me) missed it first time around.
I've grown weary of 'coming of age' books about people whose childhood was fairly ordinary, and just reminded me of my own, but this one is extraordinary.

It sounds good.
I just started Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts. I haven't read one of her books in almost a year. I always enjoy her books for a light read
