Is it for your IRL book club?

Just for enjoyment?

Do you recommend it? How many stars would you give it?

Just finished The Pilots Wife which I was just reading for enjoyment. I give it 4 out of 5 stars

Today I am going to pick up my Book Club book (IRL) The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman.

I am still working on Snow Flower & the Secret Fan (for fun). I just started it, but I am really enjoying it so far.

I did not care for that book. I didnt hate it....but I didnt love it. Alot of people did love the book though.....so maybe it was just me!

"Innocent Traitor" by Alison Weir. It's a historical fiction about Jane Grey (the queen for nine days before Queen Mary had her beheaded). It's a good one along the lines of Phillipa Gregory. Alison Weir is a historian who usually writes non fiction; this is her first foray in fiction.

I finished "Angel on the Square" this afternoon. It's a "young adult" book, but I really enjoyed it. Loved all the references to places I've been in St. Petersburg. Kayleigh picked it up the other day and started reading it as well. I'm not sure how far she'll get; I think it's a bit above her (she's in 2nd grade!). But she's comprehended what she's read so far.

So, now it's back to "Drums of Autumn." Time for a Jamie fix!

Wow Kerry---You are really getting fancy now using big words such as "foray"

The Other Boleyn Sister by Phillipa Gregory. At first I loved it. Now I'm not sure about it. It's a little "Cosmo" at the moment.

I'm reading Blessings by Anna Quindlen. It's okay.

Glad Anita Shreve redeemed herself for you!

I liked this one. The foot binding parts are revolting, but I thought it was a really good story.

I like her a lot. I read her book on Queen Isabella which was very good.

You lucky girl, gettin' a Jamie fix! One of these days before the next in the series I am going to read them all over again and get myself a Jamie fix.
