Lesbian romance fluff.......
 

Getting Back Rizzo, Cindy

I've been feeling the urge to read the Lord of the Ring trilogy again, so I obviously had to start with "The Hobbit".

A very good, long, light, read -The best and most extensive James Thurber collection ever assembled by The Library Of America, complete with cartoons and drawings. He was one funny guy!

Currently reading a New York Times Article on : Medicating Women's Feelings...

NeuroTribes: The legacy of autism and how to think smarter about people who think differently
By Steve Silberman

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I'm curious about the author. Have you read her works before?
A friend just lent me The Thing Around your neck. Looking forward to the read.

This is the first book of hers I've read. I started it last spring and then had to put it down for a bit. I packed it for a train ride the other day and got 130 pages in and am hooked. Very much looking forward to reading her other works. A friend of mine told me that all 11th graders in a high school in Sweden were given a copy of her book We Should All Be Feminists.

I just read the reviews on 'We Should All Be Feminists.' I may add it to my list of purchases. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Let us know how The Thing Around Your Neck is. I think I'm going to do Half of a Yellow Sun next.

Kickass Plays for Women by Jane Shepard

...looks like another theatre project in the making. :)

I'm currently reading the series of books from Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter Rose's memoirs written by the the adopted grandson of Lane
It's the Rocky Ridge Years
By Roger Lea MacBride

Always looking up: The adventures of an incurable optimist by Michael J. Fox

The Draculia Vampire trilogy by Colleen Gleason. Delving into her books and loving them more and more.

This book was actually a step up from the typical fluff!
It was well written, had very relateable characters (especially if you had a college romance that ended without closure) who were well developed and of a certain age! The story is about two women who are reunited after 30 years, now much more wiser and armed with life's experience! I REALLY enjoyed it:glasses:

Ten Little Indians
 

Well..I am sorry that it took me 40 winters to get around to reading Agatha Christie. Now.. I want to read her biography.

Spring semester has started so at the moment I'm reading the most boring book ever written in the history of the world. It's called:

Practical Strategies for Technical Communication by Mike Markel

Thanks, Mark Markel! You must be lots of fun at parties. :blink:

From my other classes I have other gems as well, but this book is just 528 pages of wow.

F*ck Feelings (Bennet, M.D. & Bennet, Sept. 2015).
 

F*ck Feelings: One Shrink's Practical Advice for Managing All Life's Impossible Problems

Excerpt review below:

WARNING: Naughty language in this book.

Despite the cheerfully bright yellow cover and salaciously curt, morally outskirting title, F*uck FEELINGS is a landmark of psychological help. With tongue-in-(hopefully)-cheek mocking of every Dr. First-name (Phil, Deepak, Oprah) book out there, Dr. Bennett and his comedic daughter seek to dispense actually useful advice with wit and practicality (...).

I bought this book recently because for me, it's not about feelings or happiness or some part of becoming 'glad', but more about finding a particular element of satisfaction. So far, I like what I've read. I'll probably pass it on to others in my group of reading aficionados because we tend to do that for each other: buy a book, pass it on. Kind of like a fair reading exchange, type of thing. :)
