Summer reading!

I am reading a book on Pope Francis' leadership style - received the book as a gift and met the author.

Sabrelady, I really liked the ending. A few people I lent my copy to didn't catch it.

Very cool that she was inspired by punch drunk. I woulk love to go to a circus like that! She had to have Cirque on her mind also! With the magic thrown in it made it a really fun read.

Ohhh second The Night Circus. I read it a couple years so I forgot about it, but I remember really loving it. Definitely influenced by Punch Drunk - I could basically see them put a show on based on this book.

Almost done with A Queer and Pleasant Danger, Kate Bornstein's memoir. It was pretty dull while she was in Scientology, but now that she's out and considering gender reassignment surgery it's picking up. I've got a whole shelf of books I haven't been able to get to during the school year. It's been so long since I've read fiction. I got The Book Thief for Christmas and I want to get through that, but my old beloved Geek Love is calling me back for a second reading.

Addy, my mom said she loved The Paris Wife too!

[StockardFan]

Addy, I'm almost done with the Paris wife and I'm so pissed at Pauline and Ernest right now.

[StockardFan]

Finished. Good book!

Now I just started a book called What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty (she also wrote the Husband's Secret).

[StockardFan]

OK, so far What Alice Forgot is really good if anyone is interested. She falls off her bike in spin class and forgets the whole previous decade.

I like Liane Moriarty a lot. Just finished The Hypnotist's Love Story.

I'm starting Wool now. It's gorgeously written.

I am currently adding Hillary Clinton's book to the Kindle. I have a list of about 50 that I want to read, but just don't have time time.

Anyone who has finished the Divergent series? I can't seem to get into the final book. It's making me crazy that suddenly they are hopping POV between chapters!

Oh, you guys and your excellent literature. A few days a go I finished up Skin Game, the latest volume of my favorite trash garbage, the Dresden Files series. Now I'm in the middle of rereading Guards! Guards!, because Watch books are excellent comfort food, while also winding down the second half of The Blazing World, which is not comforting but is very good so far.

JG, I lost interest in the Divergent books about halfway through the second one. They kind of went off the rails.
