Yes, Lisa, I loved Into the Wilderness too. Isn't that a series of a few books?
I am reading Book 8 of the Outlander series now, and I'm already feeling bereft. What will I do when its over?

DG would give it a blurb as Claire is actually in Into The Wilderness since she was inspired by DG's Outlander series.

ETA: If I remember correctly, she was inspired by Outlander when she wrote her series.

I now have two mega long series to read. I will get to them one of these years.

Thank you for that. I have never heard of those books and they sound pretty good. I just ordered it from my library.

You might want to start a new topic to discuss the book. I read about 3/4 of it and gave up. I think people find the "novelty" of it fascinating because it is taboo.

I just started his When We Were Orphans. So far so good.

His books usually have a dreamlike feel to them. The plot goes into the past and is presented in the present as remembrances that are so clear it's almost like the reader is there. I like that.

I just recently added Never Let Me Go to my TR list.

Wow…I am so far behind, lol. It looks like there are 6 books in the Wilderness series. Happy reading.






I finished Brown Girl Dreaming which I really enjoyed.
This is a wonderful book about coming of age in the 60's/70's. It is written in verse which gives us snippets of a brown girl growing up in two places, New York and South Carolina. It was a very enjoyable story.


I also finished The Elephant Whisperer and I won't bore you again with how great I thought that story was. Then again I am an animal lover I may have to talk my husband into taking me to the elephant sanctuary in TN this summer




Now I am reading The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen which is amazingly my first book by her.

Just started Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin for March book club. Great so far!

This is so strange- I read this series several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed them. I don't know what made me think of them today, but I did and then saw this post. I don't know how to describe the books but they were DELIGHTFUL. It was such a sweet escape. I heartily agree that these are some great books.

Hi. I miss you all. Can I just say how envious I am of you? I haven't read anything in weeks. And I'm weeks away from being able to start reading again. I'm moving in a week from today. Then I have all the unpacking and settling in to do. I can't wait until that's all done so that I can lie on my couch and read a book. Of course my work (not packing/unpacking; I'm talking about actual work that earns me money) will still get in the way, but this packing and organizing and soon-to-be UNpacking and more organizing is making everything worse.

Enjoy your books, everyone. I'm looking forward to joining your gang again. Soon.

Just about finished The Saints Go Dying by Erik Hanberg. Another free book and very good except for the typos.

We miss you, too!

BTW, if you haven't read Three Junes, you should check it out when things settle down. I think you'd like it.
