"Life is a Verb"

Sparkle · 09-20-2016, 09:35 PM

I'm having a *Postathon* tonight...

I read three books while on holiday in August -

The Mirror Thief by Martin Seay
It was good, but took some work to finish. It has multiple storylines and narrators intersecting over the space of a few centuries. Set in sixteenth century Venice, Italy, 1950s Venice Beach, CA and modern day at the Venetian in LV. The concept was interesting.

I also read Before the Fall by Noah Trawley - which was like watching a good HBO crime drama. Nicely tied up, intriguing, hyper-realistic mystery.

And then I finished off my week on Lake Huron with The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell, which I loved. It ticks a lot of boxes on my 'perfect book' list: epic scope and saga like scale, magical realism, twisty overlapping storylines, characters you can love (and hate,) and beautiful, clever prose that just makes you hope the story will somehow go on forever.

Last weekend I finished the book Mitchell published after The Bone Clocks, Slade House. The stories are connected and have a little character overlap but aren't part of a series. Slade House didn't entrance me like the Bone Clocks, but it was a good read.

Now I'm in a state of 'which book next' contemplation.

Hi Wrang1er what do you think of Judy Blume's books?
I think I own all of hers and have enjoyed each one.

Currently I am in easy to read books but interesting enough that I recall it whenever I pick it up to continue.....Vampire Apocalypse Book 1 kindle edition

I remember reading her books when I was young and liking them. This is the first time I read any of her adult books. I didn't love it. It wasn't a book I couldn't put down. We'll see how this second one goes.

Kobi · 09-23-2016, 06:06 PM

What I told my daughter : lessons from leaders on raising the next generation of empowered women / edited by Nina Tassler, with Cynthia Littleton.

"Entertainment executive Nina Tassler has brought together a powerful, diverse group of women--from Madeleine Albright to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, from Dr. Susan Love to Whoopi Goldberg--to reflect on the best advice and counsel they have given their daughters either by example, throughout their lives, or in character-building, teachable moments between parent and child."

and....

Tribe : on homecoming and belonging / Sebastian Junger.

"Draws on history, psychology, and anthropology to discuss how the tribal connection--the instinct to belong to small groups with a clear purpose and common understanding--can satisfy the human quest for meaning and belonging."

I enjoyed Summer Sisters very much. My mother handed it off to me long ago. I hadn't read Judy Blume in ages. It was lovely to read her grown up stuff

I just finished my first graphic novel! Death: The High Cost of Living (Neil Gaiman).
LOVED it and can't wait to get to the next one!

Runner · 10-04-2016, 03:27 PM

Just finished The Glorious Heresies, sexy, ballsy, dark and very Irish.

Lisa McInerney won the Bailey’s Women’s Prize for Fiction for this her debut novel.

This was a treat to read, powerful and honest.

Cricket, the movie opens this Friday! What I've read and seen so far the location has been changed from London to New York and you know, that doesn't sit well with me!

The good was great, lets hope they didn't muck up the movie to bad

I'm finishing up Little Women. I read it when I was young and have enjoyed reading it again.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn-1968-Banned in Russia
This great Russian writer discovered the inspiration for this book while being treated in an obscure Russian hospital, after the fall of Stalin, by sub-human standards, compared with today, and his relationship with eight other patients.

I'm reading and browsing thru

The Art of Pie-by Kate McDermott

it's very good, altho I don't agree with mixing dough with hands, but I can see why this would appealing to those intimidated by pie making
