I'm sorry to hear that. I may read it, but I won't be in a hurry, I guess. I'm still reading The Professor and the Madman. I discovered the first season of Revenge on Netflix and it's cutting into my reading time. Sometimes you just gotta love a mindless soap opera. Or at least I do.
Nothin' wrong with mindless soap operas, Marlow.
I think I was expecting Rowling to be writing like Maeve Binchey and she is not.....because she is not Binchey. It is starting to pick up a bit but I really don't like any of the characters very much. I need someone to cheer for.
(Still reading in the Garden of Beasts- like it VERY much just don't have lots of time to read-)... and thanks to the suggestion here I just received notice that the Veronika book by Paul Coelho is ready for me at the liberry.
I did read the Alchemist and liked it very much.
and, I LOVED Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil so so so much that I feel I have to defend it

My reading problem is over:
I started The Language of Flowers (hi, Pinetreelover!!!!) last night and I'm loving it.
Gone Girl came in for me at the library (or liberry -- LOL, Mayvenne! Love it!) but I don't have to take it out for 5 days. By that time, I'll have finished "the flower book" and although I'll be starting my heavy-duty-doody work project, I'll have Gone Girl to escape to at the end of the work day.

Yeah, Dawn! I'm so glad you are reading "The Language of Flowers". That and "Gone Girl" are my two favorite books of the summer. And I don't think that you could find two more polar opposites than Victoria and Amy.
I think you and I must be twins who were separated at birth because I am going through the same thing. I enjoyed the Wool series and I went through a lot of zombie books, too. I seem to have swung over to post apoc tales without the zombies in the last few months. I have no idea why all this started but I've been at it for over a year. However, I still read other genres but I like a good post apoc book between the others.
I think there is something about the good guys finding safe places to be, places with water and food and shelter that makes me happy. Plus, I am hooked on The Walking Dead and my interest in finding safety seems to begin with season 1 of that show.
Huge "the walking dead" fan here as well. I have not read the books , only the AMC series though. Did you read "the first shift, legacy" of the Wool series ? I guess that is the latest. After finishing books 1-6 I sort of had a feel good feeling about the series, kind of like there is hope for them. Then after reading the last book.. it thru me for a loop and left me feeling all depressed about them.
Did you read the "day by day armageddon" series ? I'm hooked on that one as well.

OMG, yes! That may be the one that got me started. His latest in the series is due out this month. I have been waiting for it so long. I would get so nervous when he and John were flying around trying to save people. The older woman and the grandson just about did me in. This is a totally great series. When they found the underground bunker I was so happy and nervous about the door they could not secure.
I've read "The Walking Dead" but not all of it. I am up to the part where the woman with the swords appears in the story. Actually, I like the show better than the books because I'm really not into graphic/comic style stories.
I've given up on The Casual Vacancy but I will return to it at some point. I guess this will spill the beans about me but I want to be able to say I have read it. Don't tell anyone I said that, please.
I got a $1.99 Kindle story this morning and can't put it down. Animal Attraction is the story of a lonely woman who adopts two cats. They save her sanity. I think I identify somewhat with just how much the cats mean to her. I've never been lonely (knock on wood) and I always had a dog but I adopted 2 cats from a friend's son whose girlfriend was allergic to cats and these two cats changed my life. I know that sounds a bit dramatic but they really did. Cats are not demanding unless it is time to eat and they take care of themselves for the most part. I don't feel guilty when I leave them for a night or two. They sleep most of the time. Anyway, this author's story of how the cats changed her life and her outlook on life is clever and funny. It's a short book.
Next up is The Last Night at the Ritz which I have been waiting for and just became available on the kindle this morning. I'm excited about this one. Hopefully it is right up my alley.

I've also been waiting for that and eagerly awaited its arrival on my Kindle... today!
Of course, I'm already reading something else, and then will read Gone Girl first, but I'm at least happy that The Last Night at the Ritz is sitting on my Kindle for me.
