ANA Book Club?

[sgerrard]

I've been re-reading a 600+ page book on fossils of invertebrates and other fun botany and zoology stuff. I'm pretty sure it would put most people fast asleep - it puts me out some evenings. (insert sleepy face here).

As the snow thaws, maybe we can revive the book club. Let's find another Thirteenth Tale.

I will have to ask Kathy (my SIL who recommended that) if she knows of another "great"...

Kay, I'm reading Promise Me right now.  I read Tell No One and Hold Tight right before Twighlight.  They have all been very entertaining.  He has, thankfully, written enough books to keep me busy until I can get the next Twighlight book.  Wasn't Outlander great?  I just loved all the details Diana Gabaldon gave about that period...and, of course, I loved Jamie and Claire!  I read all six books back to back - my husband was not too happy with me during that time

Steve, does that book at least have some pictures? 

Happy Reading All!

What a great idea! I love to read.....bought a Kindle last year for my birthday present to me.....the ability to increase the font is wonderful......A New Earth and Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle are wonderful.......just suggestions.

Hi Kay,

Don't know if anyone has suggested it - I've got pretty slow internet here at the moment and didn't really fancy going through the page and pages of replies for this thread! - The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger is a really good book.  Everyone I know who's read it has loved it.  I think they've just finished making a movie of it and it will be released this year, so you should try and read it before the movie comes out!

Also, The Bride Stripped Bare is a good book...bit naughty though - not one for the kids!  It was originally released as by Anonymous, but then the author's identity got out and now they market it as by her, Nikki Gemmell.  I think originally she wanted to write it anonymously so that she could try and write it with quite 'out there' honesty.  I think if I'd written it, I wouldn't want anyone to know I had!  Anyway, it's a good book, different, and think you can get it in the US through Amazon for super cheap second hand as it's a couple of years old now.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the suggestion, JB -  I got The Time Traveler's Wife today and started it - think it's going to be very interesting!  I read about four Harlan Coben books in a row and needed a different type of book before getting back to the rest of his....yes, they've all been very good!

Good luck Cindy, hope you enjoy it!

[cindyj]

Finished The Time Traveler's Wife - great book, JB!  Thanks for recommending it.  This is one that the Book Club should read - you have to buy into the time travel theory, but it's so different and so well told.  Think you all would like it.

Cindy,

Sounds like you and I have the same opinions about books.  I LOVE OUtlander and have started my reread in anticipation of the new one coming out this fall.  It will probably take me about 7 months to finish all 6 of them because I'm not in a hurry.  I also love TTW and am looking forward to the movie.  Have you read The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons?  It's a trilogy and my second favorite next to Outlander.  I also enjoyed the trilogy These is My Words by Nancy something or other (can't recall her last name).  Just some recommendations.  I'm totally enjoying the world of J&C again!

Glad you enjoyed it Cindy!!

Since I am still at home and very bored, I have read everything I can get my hands on.  I just finished People of the Book, by Geraldine Brooks and loved it!  My book club assigned Sarah's Key, by Tatiana de Rosnay, and that was very sweet and poignant. Made me a little teary at times.

Priscilla -

I purchased Sarah's Key a few months ago because I heard it was fabulous.  I haven't had time to read it, but based on your comments, I'm going to make it my next book.

I'm currently reading The Beach House by Jane Green.  I'm only on chapter 8, but so far it's a nice, light read.

I finished Beach House a few days ago and just started Sarah's Key last night.  It's a fascinating book - very hard to put down.  I highly recommend it.

I hate to come and be demanding - but do we have a concensus on a new book?    I know we have Valentines coming up, but seems we could set a date for the end of Feb/early March to start a new review!  I know everyone has been busy

Just wanted to give this thread a gentle little *bump* in case someone suggests a book that I might find on tape/CD or be able to finish before surgery!
