Right now - just in time for Halloween - I'm finishing up The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe. It is a Salt Lake County Library Reader's Choice nominee, and it will also be the November/December read for my long-time book club.
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell is the next pick for my "book lunch girls" meeting, so it is on my nightstand, as is The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver, which is the Book Buddies selection for November.
In the next few weeks I'm hoping to read two non-fiction books on women's issues to complete the Women Unbound challenge by November 30. The two I'll likely read:
- The Curse of the Good Girl by Rachel Simmons
- Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her by Melanie Rehak
I'll also be continuing work on my Fall into Reading list all through November and into December. (Since I've only read four of the 26 books so far, I've got a long way to go!) Among the titles I'm most excited to read in the next few weeks:
- The Compound by S. A. Bodeen
- Deception by Jonathan Kellerman
- If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson
- Losing Faith by Denise Jaden
on their nightstands here.
I've heard a lot about Elizabeth Gaskell but have never read her. Have you read anything by her before? I'll have to watch for your comments on this one!
ReplyDeleteI've heard North and South is really good. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAs I continue to plod away at Lonesome Dove, I have waiting:
ReplyDeleteThe Lieutenant by Kate Greenville
The Dance of the Dissedent Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd
Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper by Harriett Chessman
Nurture Shock by Po Bronson
One Stayed at Welcome & Gentleman from England, both by Maud Hart Lovelace...
I doubt I will ever get to any of these anytime soon...but they are on the nightstand nonetheless.
Someone asked me the other day how you were doing, and if you were keeping busy. I told them you were reading a lot more, and it seems that that is definitely true. :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't remember who it was. Sorry. xD
