Here's what I'm reading now:
(Note: I am one of those "I'm reading 4-5 books at once" kinda girls--I tire of one and start another, only to go back to the others at some point, or sometimes never, if they didn't hold my attention.)

1. The Lovely BonesI am almost finished with this and it has been a pretty easy, yet enjoyable read. It's my Book Club's read of the month. I would recommend it, and I want to see the movie once I finish reading.

My friend Beth lent me this book and I started it quite some time ago, but it is really long, and parts of it have lost my attention. I do plan on finishing though. Beth says it's her favorite book ever--and when smart friends make that claim, I feel I must push onward to finish!

Yes, I started this one (again) while I was at the beach with my family in May, but have yet to finish it. As you may remember from this post, it is my favorite book of all-time.

This is a quick-read. Can't remember where I heard about it, but probably one of the green/organic food blogs I read. It is about one girl's venture into becoming as self-sufficient as possible, including raising chickens, growing her own food, making her own clothes, etc. It almost has me convinced that I can have egg-laying hens in my backyard someday...for real. (And the City of Columbia just passed an ordinance making it legal to do so!)
I think that's it right now...
What are you reading currently, and what should I read next? I would LOVE some suggestions!
I haven't read it yet (crazy waiting list at the library) but I've heard awesome things about Still Alice, about a lady with early onset dementia.
ReplyDeleteThe Glass Castle is a good memoir.
I feel like I should have a million other suggestions, but my mind is blank. Enjoy the beach!!!
Sorry.... that was me! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to get through John Irving's latest novel. My friend Laura just read a book called A Homemade Life (about cooking and life) and loved it; I'd also suggest any John Irving or maybe David Eggers if you haven't already read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Or Zeitoun, or What is the What, both also be Eggers. I'm obsessed with him. Take a look when you come over for book club and you can borrow whatever you want!
ReplyDeleteStacy- I think I've heard of Still Alice--sounds good, let me know! And The Glass Castle was our Book Club book last month actually! It's good-I also had one of my SW classes read it a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteLane- Thanks for the suggestions. Love A Heartbreaking Work, but haven't read any of his others...and A Homemade Life sounds right up my alley :) I'll check out some books from your library at Book Club, thanks!
