I just stumbled upon The Paris Architect. I was looking online at the ebooks at my library for something else and that was the first one that showed in the new ebooks section. I loved the cover so I decided to read the description. I am so glad I did. There were times I had to actually put it down because of how emotional parts were for me. This is his first novel, and I think he did a good job of it. I could see it being made into a movie.
ETA: I hope you all enjoy it!!
Me too because i have to wait two weeks for it to come back or be returned rather .
Would The Emporer's Children be good for a book club (& if so, is there much "bad" language in it? they have a problem with that)?
Last night I started, & got a third through, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress. I was hoping it would be good for book club, but in the first 30 pages there are 3 really "bad" words...they come up before you're invested in the book, so I don't think they'll go for it.
I'm almost done with my current book so I checked out The Making of Anne of Boleyn. I've always been fascinated with the women involved in the British monarchy (as long as it isn't current), so I'm looking forward to it.
But after 1Q84 I vow to stop reading if I am not enjoying it.

I share your interest in women in monarchies, and my recent readings -- mentioned here ad nauseum, about Henry VIII's wives has led me to keep my eyes open for others. I am interested to know what you think after reading this one. Anne is portrayed as quite the schemer in the other works I've read.
Another I've recently read about is related to the French monarchy, reviewed well by a recent new friend/author I've "met" online through my sister: Erika Robuck. She wrote this review (in case you decide you want to branch out): GIRL ON THE GOLDEN COIN
"A Brief history of Time", by Stephen Hawking. This is the 3rd book I read of '100 books to read in a lifetime'... not sure if i can finish the 100s books.
I got the list from amazon.
I wish that was in a list format. I guess I'll just have to create my own. It looks like I haven't read too many of the books on it yet.
Pssssst. Don't move or bat an eye. Just look natural. It is imperative that this does not leak out. Please don't share it with anyone:
I'm reading Zombie Titanic by Joel Snape. OMG!
We've got your back.
If we tell on you...... you could tell on us.
