I have had her Rush Home Road on my list forever. Thanks for this new one.

I'm not sure what I'll read next. It's a toss up between Bettyville, Florence Gordon, and The Seven Good Years. I'm not ready to decide today, though.
Hmm…tough choice. Those all sound good. Can't wait to hear which one you choose and how it is.

I finished The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy 2 days ago. It was possibly one of the best books I have read.
I loved it. I actually re-read a few of the ending chapters which is something I never do. It was so beautifully written, just captured my mind and my heart.
Can you tell I highly recommend it (and yes,wish I had people to discuss it with).

Please do yourselves a favor and read it.

Added it to my library hold list…thanks.

next up- Confederacy of Dunces which I have never read.

I started Stern Men by Elizabeth Gilbert last night. I think several of you rad it months ago, but I'm just getting to it. So far, so good, but the best part is that I'm reading it on my new Kindle Paperwhite which I am loving. Now I can read at night without having the light on!!!

I am or was reading Faithfull, an autobiography by Marianne Faithfull. I am not too sure how I came across it while browsing books, and I read the sample and thought to myself, This is just the book for right now! And so I bought it. And the next morning I wondered why it had seemed like the right book for right now.

It isn't the book and I am going to force myself to read it because I bought it, dammit, and hope that I will get back into the mood for the book. She has a collaborator and I do think that the book is well-written and has depth. I just might not be in the mood for depth right now.

I'm reading Down the Rabbit Hole by Holly Madison. I'm really enjoying it, however, the victim role she plays is kind of stupid. Doesn't man I don't like the book though
