What book are you reading or recently read?

[GoJays]

OK, disregard my previous post.. I read one more page and suddenly it's all become clear to me. My problem is I started reading the book far too early in the morning today and it was a muddled mess. No longer!

Finished Burn by James Patterson yesterday and started Some Girls are by Courtney Summers today.

I'm supposed to get Private Vegas from the library very soon so I'm looking forward to that one.

The giver series. I read the book in school and liked it. I watched the movie and then found out there is a whole series so I bought the set after Christmas.
i liked the other books in the set too but there were still too many loose ends and I wish they would make another book to wrap things up better.

I've finished The Girl on the Train.. what a ride! It keeps you guessing til the very end. Very good book

Next up is Saint Odd by Dean Koontz, the final story in the Odd Thomas series ()

A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley! Its a take on Shakespeares King Lear

forgot to mention that i did finish 'american sniper'.
it was ok. it was sort of a collection of memories with a loose narrative connection. obviously very pro-flag. he didn't get into a lot of detail, which was fine with me, but gave more of a hint of what things were like....and they were awful.

it's a shame that he was just getting adjusted back to a 'normal' life when he was killed.

will be reading the entire ' the cat who series.......... from library, it's light hearted and besides I read everything else from my favorite authors.

I picked up a bunch of these at our fall garage sale at our church but I haven't read any yet. They were recommended to me with just the same sort of enthusiasm as you are saying. ..... Light-hearted! Sounds like a good Feb. read!

I've just started a book called "The Other Hand" by Chris Cleave- I have a group of friends and we switch out books with each other when we get together several times a year. The reviewers say they can't tell you anything about it, but READ IT.
I'm about 1/3 of the way through. Interesting descriptions.

Harper Lee to publish second novel


To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee to publish a second novel in July, her publishers say

update:
A long-lost novel from Harper Lee, 88, will be published this summer after being unearthed by a friend of the author’s.
Go Set a Watchman, which features the beloved Lee character Scout, will be published in July, the book’s publisher said in a news release on Tuesday.
Lee wrote the novel in the mid-1950s before penning her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill A Mockingbird.
“It features the character known as Scout as an adult woman and I thought it a pretty decent effort,” Lee said in a statement.
Lee said her editor was taken with the flashback scenes to Scout’s childhood and pushed her to write a novel from that perspective.
“I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told.”
Lee set Go Set a Watchman aside and thought it was gone forever until her friend and lawyer Tonja Carter discovered it in “secure location where it had been affixed to an original typescript of To Kill a Mockingbird,” the publisher said.
The new novel features many of the same of characters, including Atticus Finch, famously portrayed on-screen by Gregory Peck in the 1962 Oscar-winning film adaptation of the book.
“I, along with millions of others around the world, always wished that Harper Lee had written another book. And what a brilliant book this is,” Michael Morrison, the president and publisher for the North American branch of Harper Collins.
