1. Do Not Say We Have Nothing 2. Station Eleven 3. Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies 4. Born a Crime I just finished Pediatric Nursing, and I’m trying to cram in all the reading I can before Community Nursing begins. LOL
@Carolyn I have Born a Crime on audio too! I’m super excited to start it. And I read Bird Box when it first came out and LOVED it! I’m also reading his novella The House at the Bottom of a Lake. Have you read Mad Black Wheel yet?
Yes!!! Goodreads “First reads” giveaway. I wasn’t familiar with either author, but I thought the premise sounded interesting. I’m about 25% in, and I’m really enjoying it.
@Becky The Best of Us and Things You Won’t Say are my favorites. I just bought her newest The Perfect Neighbors, but I haven’t started it yet. These Girls is another really good one.
Lots of people use Harry Potter for language learning, often because they’re already so familiar with the books. I’m listening to the French audiobooks while reading them.
even though the Essex Serpent turned out to be no true monster, I personally label Cora as the Serpent. After her arrival in Essex, the children realized that it was actually possible for the serpent to be a real one, that not even charms nor spells could fight. She also caused a minister to stray from his wife. She occupied most of his mind and heart. Yes, Will is a very weak man. I’m very glad that Stella survived and that Cora left. I’m very glad that everyone was able to move on with their lives.
That’s an interesting observation and I like it. Cora as the serpent in the Garden of Eden tempting with the tree of knowledge. However I don’t see her as evil in any way, just flawed & complicated as are others. And I’m not sure that her connection with Will is really over given the last line of the book. I enjoyed the tension between faith and science as well as the search for truth in both the natural world and in the essential motivations of the characters.
So true. I didn’t think Cora evil, but it’s sad that in the end she wouldn’t let him go. She’s supposed to be Stella’s friend, yet she continues to egg on a “lovers'” relationship with Will. I keep hoping that he burned that letter.
I really liked the story line! The only complaint I had was the jumping around. It made it a bit of a harder read to have to remember where each character was in each timeline. I thought if they’d just told a little more of each character during that timeline thsn jumping around after only 2 pages it’d have been easier to follow. But I really loved the story!
Yes. It averaged about 2 pgs for each time they talked about a character until they talked about a new one. If they’d done each characters story in that “chapter” together I could’ve finished it in a few days but I had to really think about where I was each time and it took me a little over a week to read.
I loved Still Foolin’ ’em!!! The audiobook read by Billy himself. It was delightful and fun and sweet and sometimes brought tears to my eyes. He referenced 700 Sundays several times.
The Turner House by Angela Flournoy for my book group selection and Testimony by Scott Turow. Non-fiction Ghost of the Innocent Man by Benjamin Rachlin.
Listening to: Thimble Summer by Elizabeth Enright; currently reading: Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer; to start reading tonight: the Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger (I have never read this book. My son is reading it for class so I often read his books so we can discuss them.)
I read it while staying on Amelia Island which the book is said to be based on… even visited the bookstore downtown! I think that connection added to how much I loved the book
@Alison, I really enjoyed it. Not a fast read for me, mostly because it was lovely and evocative, and I wanted to savor it. And I lingered over the last twenty pages or so, because I wasn’t ready to let go of the characters yet. I hope you enjoy it.
Half in. Described as experimental and it is certainly strange, but Saunders knows his way around a sentence and I won’t sleep until I know the end. All in.
‘Babylon’s Ashes’ by James S.A. Corey. ‘Firebird’ by Jack McDevitt. ‘Raft’ by Simon Baxter. ‘Pandora’s Star’ by Peter F. Hamilton. ‘Alliance of Equals’ by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. Star Trek: Seekers book 4, ‘All that’s Left’ by Dayton Ward.
I always read two or more books at the same time… but now the most important ones are Hygge by Meik Wiking and A remény hajnala (a hungarian book) by Anne L. Green. <3
@Krista I really like what I’ve read so far. My schedule is not letting me binge on it (report card season for me). For someone else it’s probably a quick fun read.
Wow, I read that many years ago, and I remember I loved it. I may just try reading it again, considering I am a very different person today. 🙂 Enjoy it!
The Girl from Spaceship Earth – A true and truly compelling story about lost wisdom that can still save us. I’m also reading the masterful Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson (corrected).
The Witches by Roald Dahl and The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie; listening to Coraline by Neil Gaiman…getting my spook on for Halloween ✌?❤️??

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard, It Looked Different on the Model by Laurie Notaro, and Good Poems selected by Garrison Keillor.
I recently read the original Frankenstein, also, and found it much more engaging than any cinematic experience. Especially when I learned some of the backstory!
I’ve had a few sherberts (its Saturday) but I think I understand. But I’m actually staying away from fiction for a bit because I easily procrastinate. I’m studying a masters in environmental management…??
Just finsihed The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane and absolutely LOVED it! Next up is Saving the World by Julia Alvarez, then Home Front by Kristin Hannah for book club next weekend.

i recently read The Essex Serpent and yes, i really enjoyed it. not reading at the moment due to the flu.
I just finished it too. It took me a while to get into to but I really enjoyed it.
@Alison may i tell you my personal conclusion about Cora?
@Thania , yes I would love to know your thoughts.
even though the Essex Serpent turned out to be no true monster, I personally label Cora as the Serpent. After her arrival in Essex, the children realized that it was actually possible for the serpent to be a real one, that not even charms nor spells could fight. She also caused a minister to stray from his wife. She occupied most of his mind and heart. Yes, Will is a very weak man. I’m very glad that Stella survived and that Cora left.

Jodi Picoult keeping faith
The Scarred Woman (A Department Q Novel) by Jussi Adler-Olsen
The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff. It’s really good.
Mrs. De Winter (the sequel to Rebecca). I just finished All the Light We Cannot See
I LOVED “All the Light We Cannot See”. Your thoughts?
I really liked the story line! The only complaint I had was the jumping around. It made it a bit of a harder read to have to remember where each character was in each timeline. I thought if they’d just told a little more of each character during that timeline thsn jumping around after only 2 pages it’d have been easier to follow. But I really loved the story!
I listened to it, so I didn’t realize some of the sections were only a couple of pages long.
Yes. It averaged about 2 pgs for each time they talked about a character until they talked about a new one. If they’d done each characters story in that “chapter” together I could’ve finished it in a few days but I had to really think about where I was each time and it took me a little over a week to read.
It made me cry :'(
Me too!
Gonna give, The Book Thief, a whirl.

I have literally read none of these books ? but thanks for the great ideas everyone!
That’s what I love about this group! So many great books to read I never would have known about! <3
I’m pretty open to reading anything. I know they say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but I’m guilty of that at times!
@Ashley, one step away, but I’ll read anything rather than sit alone and stare at the wall. ?
