Talk Healthy

I'm about 3/4 done with The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Bizarre but good. It's short, Rowan (178 pages).

Another vote for the Wool Omnibus. I couldn't put it down.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. Of course they had none of those checked in. I did score a nice pile...I think I'll start with The Mothers.

I went on Monday and still haven't started. Tonight....tonight....

I finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaimen. It was a strange, lovely book.

I started Lost Girls: and unsolved American Mystery by Robert Kolker today. And I have the The Rathbones waiting at the library for me.

I started The Mothers last night. It's fiction account of the adoption process - so far so good.

Blush wrote:I just finished Maya's Notebook by Isabel Allende. Silvia recommended it--thank you Silvia! It took me a while to read the first half because I didn't seem to have as much time as normal but once I got to the middle I finished it in a day. It was very very good.

Yay! Glad you liked it. It's so frustrating when you hate a book somebody else was raving about.

I finished The Mothers yesterday. I don't really recommend it....

Next up is Race Against the Dying. Lots of hockey practice this week so should get lots of reading in. Hopefully.

Finished Sharp Objects. Dark and depressing, but good. Then I started Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. Fabulous title and cover, promising start. Fingers crossed! Mellen, I saw that you gave it 5 stars. Hope we agree!

I'm liking Race Against the Dying so far. Older female lead which is nice for a change.

I just finished "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi. It was pretty good, along the lines of Robert A Heinlein if you know his stuff. Sci-fi.

Now I'm reading "Findependence Day" by Jonathan Chevreaux, which is a personal finance book. It is my huge goal to become financially independent and that's the theme of this book. So far it's kinda cheesy, though.

I finished Lost Girls: and unsolved American Mystery by Robert Kolker. Meh. It was interesting but so disjointed. I kept waiting for everything to sort of come togeter but it never happened.

I have a bunch of books on the hold shelf cause everything came in at once. I need to sort through them and see what I want to read next.

Wool was good, but dragged a bit for me in the end. I did not like beautiful ruins at all. This month:


The troupe - very inventive. Reminded me of the Night Circus.

Sun of suns / - sci fi

The shadow tracer / Meg Gardner

Some kind of fairy tale : a novel /

I finished Rage Against the Dying. I liked it. Good thriller, fairly well written.

Up next is Cuckoo's Calling. I went through the Amazon reviews and it's interesting to see the split of tone before/after the reveal of the pseudonym.

I just started Night Film by Marisha Pessl. I'm totally hooked. I see a few hour reading binge in my future tonight.
