I have a few books going. Still trying to make my way through a Song of Ice and Fire. I'm on Book 3.
I just started House of Echoes by Brendan Duffy. And I'm also reading The Whispering Skull by Jonathan Stroud.

Just started "Tiny Beautiful Things" by Cheryl Strayed. Very much enjoying it. The snippet below describes it so much better than I could.
“It is very rarely that I am a ridiculous fangirl about anything. It’s so emotionally taxing, so inherently undignified, that I try not to fall into the trap. So it took me by surprise when, upon discovering Dear Sugar at the Rumpus, I gradually fell down the rabbit hole into ridiculous fangirlishness for the first time in years. [Strayed took me to] the edge of the dark wood, staring into the place where the most wrenching and lovely truths reside. A place to lose your heart and find it again. If there is a common thread that unites the columns, it’s work. Sugar doesn’t tolerate laziness: doing the work to reach one’s full potential, to write that novel, to exorcise ghosts, to let go of resentments and jealousy and commit instead to generosity and love—all of these are sacred, lifelong tasks for which there are no shortcuts. The columns are a gift, and so too is the book. As Sugar herself bids in her column of the same name, I've written this now on the eve of her book’s publication with one intent: to say thank you.” —Ilana Teitelbaum, The Huffington Post |

Deliver Us From Evil
Ralph Sarchie and Lisa Collier Cool (2014) The scariest book I've ever read, and Folks, I read alot! True story about a tough, New York cop, who becomes an exorcist after experiencing real demon possession among people. With the help of priests, he also instructs people how to recognize, and exorcise demons. Beware: Very, very, scary!

C# Quick Syntax Reference
Sometimes I get mixed up flipping back and forth between Visual C# and Visual Basic languages For some unknown reason, Microsoft Visual Studio will not compile a few lines of Visual Basic in their Visual C# Integrated Development Environment. *chuckling* Yes, I know I am being goofy. Lack of sleep makes me punchy!!! |

[QUOTE=PurerSands;1017460]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.... [ Haveing read all the HP books, I have to say I loved them. For one you really do get more involved, and it goes into greater detail. I hope you like them as much as I did. |

Judy
Ok, at last I have finally finished this book, and yes I know it took me some time.
So .... Judy, what can I tell you about his book. After getting past the introduction, which gives you some background on how the research for the book started. I was hooked. Judy is a dog that received the highest bravery award that can be given for any animal. She was a POW in the japanese war camps. The book takes you from her mischievous pup days, right through all her trials in the camps with her fellow prisoners. Please read this book, you won't regret it. |

Just finished Big Stone Gap! Liked it well enough but judging by the movie previews, I think it may be one of the few movies I like better than the book!

Author Sara Paretsky-2003 I love private detective V.I. Warshawski! Just finished her "Total Recall". A must read for fans. I once met Sara at a Chicago bookstore called Women and Children First, and CIJS she rocks!

I'm not reading anything exciting at the moment, because like Stephanie, I only have time to read schoolish stuff...
Of course, I must always snatch few moments for a small BFP distraction. There are so many more, but here are just a few of the books I recommend at the moment: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Lies-My-Teacher-Told-Everything/dp/0743296281/?ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_y"]Lies My Teacher Told Me[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Souls-Black-Dover-Thrift-Editions/dp/0486280411/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1446347197&sr=1-1&keywords=the+souls+of+black+folk"]The Souls of Black Folk[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1577316290/?ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_YG0tvb1P0J58T"]The Emotional Lives of Animals[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Profundis-Oscar-Wilde-ebook/dp/B00RWJPS8Q/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1446346169&sr=1-4&keywords=de+profundis"]De Profundis[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00589AYWW/?ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_6Zz.ub1WVGJBD"]The March of Folly[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BBXJH68/?ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_vmvhvb1EREY5Y"]Uncertainty[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0306809982/?ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_jnNfwb0GXD43J"]Empty Without You[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/New-Jim-Crow-Incarceration-Colorblindness/dp/1595586431/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1446347318&sr=1-1&keywords=the+new+colorblind+racism"]The New Jim Crow[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Gift-Creativity-Artist-Modern-World-ebook/dp/B002GKGB00/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1446347086&sr=1-1&keywords=the+gift"]The Gift[/ame] I recommend them all! There's also 'The Painted Bird'...'The Master and Margarita' (love pretty much all Russian Classics)...'Perfume' (It's a murder mystery! There was a movie awhile ago). I could spend a long time on this. I'm still a dedicated Ann Rice fan/vampire nerd, though I can't get into the latest generation. They're too hip. They just don't work for me. |
