Book Club

[lainey1]

This book thread is started on the first of each month.

Some suggestions for posting here:

~ underline, bold or CAPITALIZE the name of the book you're reading - it makes it easier for us readers to see what it is

~ include the author of the book - there are so many books with the same title (if you are recommending a book we want to make sure we read the right one!)

~ post a few words about the book - would you recommend it or not?

~ tell us the book genre - is it a mystery, romance, historical, biography, etc.

***There is no obligation to do any of the above!

As always, all posters are welcome here.

And yes, here we are with a new month! 

I'm starting See Him Die by Debra Webb.

Happy reading all! lainey

I am reading Pullitizer Prize Winner The Orphan Master's Son. It  is a slow burn book and gets better as you get further into the book.

Started this morning The Flying Circus, Susan Crandall.

She wrote Whistling Past The Graveyard in 2013.  Love it so far.

I am reading Sir Jeffrey Archer's The Clifton Chronicles.  I just finished book 3 (or was it 4?) and am ready to start the next in the series.  I've been an avid fan ever since my brother-in-law turned me on to Cane and Able a million years ago.

I'm also starting The Irish Country Doctor series by Patric Taylor again for the 3rd time while waiting for the latest to come out.  I love this series! It's one of my favorites (next to Jan Karon's Mitford Series that I've also read 3 times). I love stories that take place in Ireland and Scotland, and aren't modern day.  These are my go-to-feel-good books.

I just finished X (Sue Grafton) and really enjoyed the leisurely pace of this book.  The main plot wasn't really that compelling (I actually enjoyed the side plot more) but I absolutely loved being with Kinsey in her daily activities. 

I'm still reading The Novel Habits of Happiness (Isabel Dalhousie) and now I have Speaker of Mandarin (Inspector Wexford).  I love the places he's been lately.

Thanks, lainey, for starting us on a new month!

Every few years, around this time of year, I pull out October Dreams A Celebration of Halloween which is the BEST Halloween Anthology EVER (IMHO). Classic novellas, stories, and essays on the history, literature and films of Halloween. Most enjoyable!

The Company She Kept by Archer Mayor

Dance of the Bones by J.A. Jance

After reading so much scientific info for years as a teacher, I've added a little Anne Rice;  whgen Ann doesn't have one out it's Christine Feehan, although in my opinion, she's not on the same level.  Right now it's the "Dark Series".
