Happy New Year to my fellow bookworms. Thank you Lainey for getting us off to the new year.

I'm still reading We are Water by Wally Lamb. Slowly but surely, I'm plowing through. It seems I've been reading this forever. It is getting better but it is taking so lonnnnng.

FindingMyJoy, I am so glad you posted this. I had given up on this series, as the last few books were just ridiculously silly. I will give them another try now, starting with "Hen".

Just ptb on Marisha Pessl's Night Film. Very dark and didn't like it.

Onto Revenge Wears Prada. Need something light to read next.

YAHOOEY, Wally Lamb's We Are Water is my next book. Was surprised to find it so quickly on my library's shelf.

Happy New Year to you All! Thanks to LAINEY as always.

I'm currently reading SYCAMORE ROAD by John Grisham and enjoying it so far.

I finished it about a week ago and LOVED IT!! Do NOT SKIP any part of the book as there are things in it if you do, you need to know. One of my favs for 2013--maybe #2!

When I was looking over any new offerings through my e-library, I was surprised to find the new Flavia de Luce book (The Dead In Their Vaulted Arches) available as a Hold. It's due to be published January 14th and I'm #6 on the list. I was on waitlist for months last year at the library. Kindle and ePub books seem to come in a lot faster. I love my online library!

I'm reading Sycamore Row by John Grisham and enjoying it also. I like books that grab your interest right from the start and I think this one does. The main character is the same lawyer from his book A Time to Kill.

I just watched that movie last night so now I am visualizing Matthew McConaughey as I read!

I just finished Doctor Sleep by Stephen King and thought it was one of his best, but I'm a huge fan anyway. It is somewhat of a sequel to the Shining, about the little boy Danny and his "shining" in his adult life.

Happy New Year everyone. Someone recommended this book THE WOODCUTTER by Reginald Hill. This is the first book I have read by this author. I am about 1/3 through and am really enjoying it. It is a great read to get me through the big blizzard we just had. Awful weather ... Frigid temps, blizzard conditions and a five hour snow cleanup (in Nova Scotia). Done now and ready to read again!!! Many thanks for this recommendation. LM Description follows ...... Wolf Hadda's life has been a fairytale. From humble origins as a Cumbrian woodcutter's son, he has risen to become a hugely successful entrepreneur, happily married to the girl of his dreams.A knock on the door one morning ends it all. Universally reviled, thrown into prison while protesting his innocence, abandoned by friends and family, Wolf retreats into silence. Seven years later prison psychiatrist Alva Ozigbo makes the breakthrough. Wolf begins to talk and under her guidance gets parole, returning to his rundown family home in rural Cumbria.But there is a mysterious period in Wolf's youth when he disappeared from home and was known to his employers as the Woodcutter. And now the Woodcutter is back, looking for the truth - and with the truth, revenge. Can Alva intervene before his pursuit of vengeance takes him to a place from which he can never come back..?

Lilysmom, I am a big Reginald Hill fan especially his Daziel and Pascoe police mysteries. Another good author who writes interesting British mysteries similar to Reginald Hill is Peter Robinson.
