I finished that last week and yes, I liked it a lot! I also just finished "Tigers in Red Weather" by Liza Klaussman. Next on my list is "The Guernsey Literary Club & Potato Peel Society" (that might not be quite right....I don't have it in front of me).

Dear God, why do I do this to myself? I'm reading A Dog's Purpose. I cried and cried last night and have the last 1/4 of the book to read tonight.

Not buying the sequel (I think).

Finished A Dog's Purpose and started another one with a dog on the cover, Leader of the Pack by David Rosenfelt. So far I like it a lot. It's funny, there's a dog in it, I can "hear" the New Jersey accent. It's the latest in a string of lawyer books--I may have to look at his others when I'm done with this one.

The hunger games.

I just finished reading Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed (current best selling author of Wild) and it was unbelievably good. I rarely 5 star books, but this one earned 5 stars. It's a collection of advice column letters/responses which sounds hokey (Dear Abby, really?) but is beautifully written and immensely powerful. I confess to sobbing out loud many times.

Many of the letters resonate with me personally: a mother who had a late miscarriage, a man questioning whether he should have children, the author's story of a yard sale purchase that had a huge impact 15 years later.

Beautiful and touching.

Just started Scarlet Feather by Maeve Binchy (a favorite author of mine who passed away recently. It is one of the few novels of hers that I hadn't read before.

Just finished Saving Cee Cee Hunicutt. Loved it. Very southern, warm and nurturing.

Just started the first book of "Game of Thrones" and it's sooo good!

I just finished reading "Drop Dead Healthy" and I LOVED IT.
I am currently in the middle of Fifty Shades 2nd book and Creative Visualization (eh) and I'm anxiously awaiting getting Gone Girl!

I am about to start reading "The Little Friend". I don't know anything about this book and I'm honestly skeptical about it...

I didn't love The Little Friend, but I absolutely loved her other book, The Secret History.

I'm currently reading Sacred Fragments: Recovering Theology for the Modern Jew (I know you're all going to run out and get it now!!) and The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking. I was listening to The Greatest Show on Earth by Dawkins but then I got my new Adele CD and uh, she's the Brit that wins out on that one.

I just started The Dirty Parts of the Bible. I got it for free when it was advertised as such on Kindle Author. It's only 3.99 now. Anyway, it's a good story--set during the depression, the son of a Baptist minister is sent to Texas to find the stash of money his father buried there years back. He's in St. Louis, looking for a hotel and is directed instead to a brothel.

I got a kindle! I'm literate again! HUZZAH! (I COULD have read Japanese books, but it takes me forever and gets super frustrating when they use slang or gender-specific language since most of my Japanese is proper textbook Japanese...)

I went on a download spree and got almost 90 books (mostly classics that I've read before but felt were worth another read-through) for free off of the amazon site then bought the rest of the Song of Ice and Fire series and Tamora Pierce's latest...I decided to start off with the Tamora Pierce (I've been reading her since I was 9 ), so right now I'm reading Terrier.

Add me to the list of those who loved Gone Girl. I bought Flynn's two earlier books and they're on my shelf.

Right now, I'm reading Tana French's first novel, In the Woods. I've read her 2nd and 3rd and the 4th is on my shelf. I love her writing.

On my Kindle (that I won at the office picnic!), I've got Caitlin Moran's How to be a Woman. Very funny.
