What are ya reading?

[jolene]

Reading Sophie Kinsella's "My (not so) Perfect Life." Takes me back when I was a brand new college grad struggling.

Last book a fun read about Ape types in Africa.

New Book is based in Tahoe!!

Breach of Promise by Perri O'Shaughnessy.



Female Lawyer in Lake Tahoe area. Could be very interesting especially for the ladies on G C.

[honeychile]

Reading a collection of short stories by the late Maeve Binchy, A Few of the Girls. I don't normally like short stories, but most read like books that she was possibly going to develop further. "The Custardy Case" is especially moving.

Zero Day by David Baldacci.

Starting to day!

Got 8 Chapters in and this book looks so interesting so far!!!!

[PGD-GRAD]

Fannie Flagg's new book, "The Whole Town's Talking"--so far it's delightful--full of detail about life in the South, very much like "Fried Green Tomatoes" and Flagg's other books.
This chronicles the founding and founders of Elmwood Springs, MO. The catch is that much of the dialogue comes from Still Meadows, the town cemetery! It reminds me a bit of "Spoon River Anthology".
It's hard to put down!

Ghost Moon by Heather Graham.

Last book great read with some very sadness at the end.

[jolene]

Reading "Wolf Boys" by Dan Slater about two American teens who become assassins for a Mexican drug cartel.

[aephi alum]

Re-reading "The Book of Night With Moon" by Diane Duane.

If you are a cat person, and/or if you have ever lived or worked in New York City, get this book... seriously, get this book.

[AZTheta]

American Heiress by Jeffrey Toobin.

About Patty Hearst.

My older brother knew some of the players in this story. If you're interested in what was happening at that time in the SF Bay Area, it's a good read.

ETA: PGD-GRAD thanks for the recommendation on the Fannie Flagg book. I've requested it! Sounds fascinating.

LOVE Fannie Flagg! I recently finished The All-Girls Filling Station Last Reunion. I so enjoy her reading style. My mother used to say that she writes in a similar style as Maeve Binchy, only Southern as opposed to Irish.

My brother actually met Patty Hearst when she was being held near Penn State. He felt sorry for her. I may have to check out American Heiress, too!

Last read started slow and then picked up with a lot of twists and turns.
