OLD SINS by Penny Vincenzi

Just finished Jackie Collins Confessions Of A Wild Child (prequel to her Lucky Santangelo series). It was just ok. Very repetitive.

Reading for the weekend: Nickolas Butler's Shotgun Love Songs.

I just finished The Orchardist - a good read but so melancholy throughout.

Thank you to whomever recommended "Say You're Sorry" from Michael Robotham! Loved this one! This is part of the Joe O'Laughlin series, but my first read from him.

I finished SARAH'S KEY. It was a fast read. I need to peruse my Kindle samples for my next good book.

Linders Back...If you want to read about the same topic as The Invention of Wings, but an oh so much better book try The Wedding Gift by Marlen Suyapa Bodden

Finished reading The Supreme Macaroni Company by Adriana Trigiani -- it was a good read. I just started The Road from Gap Creek which a sequel to Gap Creek -- read it when it was Oprah's Book Club pick.

I'm currently reading I am Livia by Phyllis T. Smith. It's one of the Kindle First offerings this month from Amazon. This book was a finalist in thijice Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award a few years back and I read the excerpt then and enjoyed it, so now that the whole book's available I'm giving it a read. So far, it's excellent.

I just started I AM LIVIA yesterday and think it is very well done. Chose it because of the connection to I, Claudius which is still one my favorite tv series of all time.

Just finished rereading the alphabet series A,B,C,D, IS FOR...by Sue Grafton. What a great writer she is and so refreshing keeping the time setting before cell phones, emails, etc. I always enjoy the stories and rereading them was a treat.

Finished Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention of Wings. For such a riveting subject (Southern slavery and the early days of the Abolitionist Movement in the North in the 1820-30's), I thought I would get deeply involved and moved but it never happened. I don't think she did justice to the real people in the story and her made up characters were too stereotypical.

Back to The Cuckoo's Calling.

I've purposely avoiding The Invention of Wings. It sounds like a mash up of The Secret Life of Bees and The Help and I've read both of those.
