I just finished Anne Rice's Prince Lestat. Its always hard to read that last chapter, when I know that my time with old friends, will end soon.

I'm still (very) slowly making my way through A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 3) by George R. R. Martin.
And I'm rereading Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen as a refresher because I just got the sequel book.

Being mortal : medicine and what matters in the end / Atul Gawande.
Modern medicine has transformed the dangers of childbirth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the face of our inevitable aging and death, what it can do often runs counter to what it should do. Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Atul Gawande reveals the suffering this has produced. He examines the profession's limitations and failures as life draws to a close. And he shows how the ultimate goal is not a good death, but a good life - until the very end.
------------------ Good but definitely not beach reading.  |

As I seem to every couple of years, I am reading Written On The Body by Jeanette Winterson. I don't often reread something, but this one calls to me from time to time. The gist of the plot is that there is a beloved and neither the name nor the gender of the protagonist suitor is ever revealed. At times the energy is decidedly female, other times male.

A full life : reflections at ninety / by Jimmy Carter
In this autobiography, President Carter "tells what he is proud of and what he might do differently. He discusses his regret at losing his re-election, but how he and Rosalynn pushed on and made a new life and second and third rewarding careers. He is frank about the presidents who have succeeded him, world leaders, and his passions for the causes he cares most about, particularly the condition of women and the deprived people of the developing world."

My Tuesday morning clients have an admirable book collection....
today she caught me looking at titles while I dusted and offered to let me borrow books any time I like... squeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So... I am reading My Struggle: Book One by Karl Ove Knausgaard A Norwegian Marcel Proust. This nerve-striking, addictive piece of hyper-realism, by the Norwegian Critics’ Prize-winning author of A Time For Everything, has created a phenomenon throughout Scandinavia. Click here to read The New Republic’s profile of Knausgaard & the My Struggle series. Almost ten years have passed since Karl Ove Knausgaard’s father drank himself to death. Vulnerable and assailed by doubts, he is now embarking on a new novel. With an uncanny eye for detail, Knausgaard breaks down his own life story to its elementary particles, reliving memories, reopening wounds, and examining with candor the turbulence and the epiphanies that emerge from his own experience of fatherhood, the fallout in the wake of his father’s death, and his visceral connection to music, art, and literature. Negotiating intimacy, love, and fear lie at the heart of his movements and mind as he moves from self-deprecation to self-absorption, from craving solitude to exposing an insatiable need for love and admiration, from alienation to harmony. Karl Ove’s dilemmas strike nerves that give us raw glimpses of our particular moment in history as we witness what happens to the sensitive and churning mind of a young man trying- as if his very life depended on it- to find his place in the disjointed world around him. This Proustian masterpiece opens a window into one of the most original minds writing today. His picture is on the cover of the copy they have. His eyes are so piercing...his memoir promises to be engaging.

Just started...
The Gravity Between Us by Kristen Zimmer Looks like it will be one of those guilty pleasure books because it's not my typical genre to read.  Also reading... As Texas Goes...:How the Lone Star State Hijacked the American Agenda by Gail Collins This one is biting and fun and scary and true. Love Gail Collins! Last edited by Fancy; 08-19-2015 at 01:27 PM. |

I just finished the War Room (Chris Fabry) I'm not an overly religious person so at times it was a bit much for my tastes but if you have enjoyed this authors other books and believe in the power of pray check it out!
Btw yes it's a movie also out in theaters now too! |

Sounds cool! If you have time to come back and review it when done, please do! I have the book "The Atheists Little Book of Spirituality" (I think that's the title). I haven't read it yet but love the concept!

Diviners by Libba Bray
I just finished her "Going Bovine" and loved it so I thought I would explore her other works. So far it is pretty interesting, I like the way she develops her characters and her playful use of language. Diviners is set in NY in the 1920s and is about a group of people who have powers, for example the main character is able to read objects by touching them. Of course there is a supernatural bad guy and peril ensues.

Currently trying to get 'into' Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. It took me a while to get into Gone Girl too, but I was glad I did. By half way through I was addicted. Hoping this will be the same. P.S the movie didn't do it justice

Today I bought three books. Little Gone Girl by Alexander Burt (also known as Mia is Missing)
The Girl with A Clock for A Heart by Peter Swanson AND Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. I'm ashamed to say I never read the HP series. Fantasy is not a genre I part take in much. But I do remember seeing maybe 2 of the movies years ago and enjoying them. For some reason for the passed week I've had a niggling feeling to read them... Or at least give them a shot. So I may start with Harry, and move on to my usual genre of Thriller... Don't judge me....
