Thanks to those who recommended The Impostors Daughter. Good book, funky format, nice insight.

Finished "Imposters Daughter" and agree with Kobi's assessment! Great read.

Started "Sharp Objects" by Gillian Flynn on audiobook this morning and love it so far. Listened to "Gone Girl" last week and am really loving this author. Her books are fast-paced and she is a great storyteller. Will be reading or listening to "Dark Places" as soon as this one is finished!

I have just started reading Summer World by naturalist, Bernd Heinrich

How can cicadas survive—and thrive—at temperatures pushing 115°F? Do hummingbirds know what they're up against before they migrate over the Gulf of Mexico? Why do some trees stop growing taller even when three months of warm weather remain? With awe and unmatched expertise, Bernd Heinrich's Summer World never stops exploring the beautifully complex interactions of animals and plants with nature, giving extraordinary depth to the relationships between habitat and the warming of the earth.

If my brain gets fried and needs simple amusement, I will also be reading Summer Sisters by my childhood favorite, Judy Blume. It is a novel for grown ups.

Summer Sisters unfolds over almost twenty summers in the lives of two young women - from 1977 when they're twelve to 1995 when they celebrate their thirtieth birthdays. There's a love story at the center, and the story of a friendship more intense and longer lasting than many love affairs.

My mother told me to read this specifically...and gave me the book to ensure I did...what can I say, I still have to listen to my mom!

11/22/63: Stephen King.
I gave a copy to my father for father's day and then ran to the library to get a copy for myself.

Stephen King is both a shared love and a family joke. We were on a vacation when I was 6 or 7 years old and I ran out of reading material. Going through my parents books I had either my mother's romance novels or my father's Stephen King novels. That summer I read Cujo and Pet Cemetery. My mom thought I was fake reading so she didn't say anything, but I was fully reading them. I learned to read freakishly early. I still love Stephen King. My father doesn't talk much but I think he is secretly proud of me for having been drawn to the books so early.

I just finished The Night Watch by Sarah Waters

What a very good read about Butch/femme in the 40's and wartime.

Rereading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I started reading the series 10 years ago and made it to the 5th book. Now the 8th book is out, and there are plans to make it into a TV series... so time to get reacquainted.
