This is probably on my Kindle as I write this. I just read Mr. Mercedes a few weeks ago so I didn't have long to wait for the release of FK. I won't be able to start it for a few days though because I am reading Silent Scream. I'm only 25% through, I just want to finish it so I can start FK.

I just finished "Jennifer Government" by Max Barry. It's an interesting satirical poke at a dystopian future where every aspect of life has become privatized. Consumerism and globalization rule the world in what some have called an Ayn Randian wet dream.

This was a great read. Highly recommended. Though it was published 11 years ago, it's even more relevant today.

I considered Nook format but it was only $5 less than the hardcover at Target so...I'd rather get the HC. I'm too tired to even really be able to read tonight but if I can even read 1 chapter I will be happy

I'm reading The Center of Everything by Laura Moriarty. http://www.amazon.com/Center-Everyth...+of+everything For some reason the title seems very familiar to me - has anyone here read it? It's a coming-of-age story and I like it very much.

McCarthy's Bar by Pete McCarthy

just finished:

Recently read:
A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron - amusing and light. I'd read it again.

The Tunnel and the Light by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (deep topic but very good)

Read not long ago:
Memoirs of a Geisha (loved it!)
Thanks! I looked those two up and they are going on my to-read list.

I just downloaded the Judy Blume book... (No - not Are You There, God? It's me Margaret ) Her newest "grown-up" book, In the Unlikely Event. I'm going to try to finish The Rocks before starting it, but we'll see.

I read The Chaperone by her. I liked it VERY much.

I'm going to get this one that you're reading, as well as her other book. Because I have nothing but free time on my hands these days (which is a bald-face lie).

Finished Between Shades of Gray. Wow. About what Stalin did to the people of The Baltics. If you are a historical fiction reader, I recommend at least checking it out.
