What Are You Reading --- June 2014

lainey1 · ‎03-09-2010

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 ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}$ or not ${#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}$

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

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

As always, all posters are welcome here!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

June already! I hope we have a nice month and don't go right into HOT weather!

I didn't get a chance to read at all in May due to some personal matters. l'm hoping to get started on No One Left To Tell by Karen Rose this month!

Happy reading all! lainey ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$

I just finished The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg. This is the first time that I have read this author. I guess she has several other mysteries in this series with the main characters being a male police officer and a female writer. I give it 3.5 stars and will probably continue reading the series to see how the relationship between the main characters develops. She is a Swedish author so the book has been translated which always seems to me to make the language flow not quite as smoothly as a book written by an author whose first language is English. But I still enjoyed the story.

Happy summer reading everyone!

I just got yesterday from a friend two books by Katherine Spencer based on Thomas Kinkade's paintings. The one I'm reading now is called Cape Light and it's set in a small town and focuses on it's residents and their small town life. I recommend any book by this team.

I'm reading Invisible Ellen by Shari Shattuck. Ellen is an overweight, awkward, utterly alone outsider. Everything changes, though, when she meets a charismatic blind woman on a bus. "True friends see who you really are."

Just put this on hold at my library. Can't wait to read it. I'm #1 so hopefully I'll get it soon.

I loved A Hundred Summers.
