BEST BOOK EVER!
 

The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney

This is a first time novelist, and I'm really enjoying it.

I'm forcing my way through Rules of Civility by Amor Towles- forcing because it's my book club book this month but I'm not feeling it.

My eyes keep wandering to Into the Forest by Jean Hegland- sitting right next to my book club book. Taunting me.

(Just borrowed a copy of this) We might all do better to Remember that Yesterday has everything to do with Today and how that impacts on Tomorrow.

Station Eleven- Emily St. John Mandel
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Station-Eleven-Emily-John-Mandel/dp/0804172447/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1464979820&sr=1-1&keywords=station+eleven"]Station Eleven: Emily St. John Mandel: 9780804172448: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]

Finished The Girl With the Most Gifts last week. The writing is fantastic, and the plot is completely fucked up (in the best of ways).

I can't even say what it's about without giving away one of the shockers, but if you like apocalyptic fiction (and hell, even if you don't), check it out.

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz
The Hollow Boy by Jonathan Stroud
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Against Doctor's Orders by Radclyffe

I just finished a book I had been greatly anticipating, but it was a let down sorry to say!

Perfect Pairing by Rachel Spangler started out good! Hal a food truck chef, her best friend/co worker/employee got the book off to a good start and one could almost taste the foods she created! Enter Quinn Banning an investment banker, looking to invest in the next newest thing,and open a restaurant!

These two women,by the end of the book,had me wanting to clunk their heads together like Moe used to do to Curly and Larry!

Lol. I just finished this too. The sex scenes weren't terrible, but the endless processing of the two leads was really off-putting. Their processing was everything I've hated in my worst relationships. I'm about to start a new book called Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. It looks really good. I'll report back.

I've been really into Fan Fiction lately. Been reading a lot of HP and Once Upon a Time stories.

Concerning: Source Credibility.

My take home, from years of study as an communications study scholar, is this: If you cannot tell the unvarnished truth, your greatest risk will eventually lead to ---->>> zero credibility.

I very rarely buy books new....but

I was at the supermarket and saw that Mitch Albom had a new book out...

The First Phone Call from Heaven is the title.. So far so good. I've loved all of his other books. Even the baseball one kept my attention.

"The Flanders Panel"
by Arturo Perez-Reverte

you can really "sink your teeth" into this one

Greco

All fishermen are liars...
And the longitude project...

And Nelson Mandela's bio...currently misplaced

Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow

This is the book that Hamilton the Broadway hit was based on, and so wanted to read it, but I had doubts going in! I've been 'trying' to read this for over a month now and have only gotten up to his teenage years and about page 38 or so!

I think it's a bit too 'dry' of a read to hold my attention so I'll put it away and seek out some light lesbian fluff romance for now!:glasses:

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

All other Harry Potter books, I have read straight through for the most part. Been at this for several days, as struggling with the format of it being a play some. It hasn't "sucked me in". :confused:

A. The movable feast by e. Hemingway
B. All fishermen are liars by Linda greenlaw

Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

No Strings Attached Harper Bliss



Light lesbian fluff, just what I was in the mood for!

So far so good.:glasses:

The Obstacle is the Way by Holiday
A contemporary applicaton of Stoic philosophy

Oh and it was even free on Amazon's kindle:hangloose:

The image of Gertrude Stein wailing to Alice B. Toklas, "Don't, pussy, please don't, pussy" has retained space in my brain for 25 years, thanks to this book.

– The Mediterranean Zone by Barry Sears
– Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Johnathan Unleashed
 

I'm enjoying chuckling my way through Johnathan Unleashed, a short novel by Meg Rosoff.

"A wise and witty hit...Rosoff explores how twenty somethings find their feet in the big city, face up to the horror of entry-level employment, and figure out who they really love..A loveable novel that has the power to make readers of all ages laugh."

tonight...
 

Tartine Bread-by Chad Robertson

I won't be reading much for leisure for the next 4 months because I'm working on another MS but I'm about to finish "The Story of O" and it's pretty amazing.

Another light lesbian fluff romance

Winter's Harbor by Aurora Rey

The post on "What are you reading".

I could never get into this book. I tried several times to read it. I finally forced myself to read all of it yesterday. I didn't really enjoy it.

My book club book of the month: As Close to us as Breathing. It's not as good as I'd hoped for, but it's okay.

I usually have a few books going at a time but the last couple back up books I started didn't keep my interest.

Before this I plowed through the YA Life as We Knew It series for light summer apocalypse reading.

I'm making sure my travel plans are in order, for Labor Day weekend. To make sure I haven't overlooked or forgotten anything. :)

Dorothy Must Die

I am still reading Tartine Bread, and tonight The Golden Bough too.

Midnight in Berlin by James MacManus

What's that about? I'm a big book rat...

Nothing right now but I want to find a book I can get into.

Berlin in the spring of 1939. Hitler is preparing for war. Colonel Noel Mcrae, a British diplomat, plans the ultimate sacrifice to stop him. The West’s appeasement policies have failed. There is only one alternative: assassination. The Gestapo, aware of Macrae’s hostility, seeks to compromise him in their infamous brothel. There Macrae meets and falls in love with Sara, a Jewish woman blackmailed into becoming a Nazi courtesan.Macrae finds himself trapped between the blind policies of his government and the dark world of betrayal and deception in Berlin. As he seeks to save the woman he loves from the brutality of the Gestapo, he defies his government and plans direct action to avert what he knows will be a global war.Inspired by true events and characters, James MacManus’sMidnight in Berlin is a passionate story that will leave you in awe of the human capacity for courage, sacrifice, and love set against a world on the brink of war.

I just started it today but so far I am enjoying it.
