Anybody else here enjoys reading Dickens? I really like him, like how he draws his characters, how he describes into utter detail the England of the 19th century.
I hate to admit it but I am really not a fan of Dickens. However, I love A Tale of Two Cities and read it at least once a year.
I am lost in The End of Your Life Book Club. That is meant in only the very best way. It's nonfiction and the author, Will Schwalbe, is someone I would really like to know personally. Seriously, while reading this I feel like I am sitting somewhere comfy and cozy with a quilt, cup of tea and this author to chat with.
What a delight to be able to be directed to such exceptional books by members of this forum. You folks rock. No lie.
Finished Where The Heart Leads by Kim Vogel Sawyer last night. Other than the fact I wanted an epilogue, I enjoyed it. Last day of fall soccer today so I'll hvae more time to read. Very excited! Just wish I had a clue what to start tonight.

YAY!!! I'm so glad that you're enjoying it. It's for exactly the reasons that you mentioned -- and the fact that I was in absolute AWE of his mother -- that I emailed him.
Okay I finished Mrs Kimble by Jennifer Haigh is the 2nd best book I have read so far this year , the first one was unsaid by Neil Abramson. The other book she wrote called the condition I did not like so much . Im continuing on with Cutting Stone by Attica Locke it is getting hard for me with the reading again I hope this is not a trend ...

I'll be very interested in hearing what you think of Cutting Stone. I've had the bound copy for a while now but have not ventured into it. So, please let us know when you finish it and what you thought of it.
Okay I messed that title up . It is not cutting stone it is the cutting season by attica locke sorry for the mis understanding ,. Im hoping the cutting season is good sorry for the mistyped title.

K, if you mean "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese, I read it -- well, listened to it while quilting, and it was a beautiful story -- it haunted me for months after reading it. Portions of it still come to me from time to time, just out of the blue. I think you would enjoy it.

Yes, that't the one. For some reason I have hesitated to read it. I have no idea why. But I will give it a go, LFM. Thanks for the recommendation.
