I could go for something lighter right now! I always have a couple books going. I'm thinking about that Outlander series, but it's a little daunting.

I just returned from 7 days in Puerto Vallarta and found to my horror when I opened my suitcase that I had only brought the one book I was currently reading on the plane. I thought I'd brought three! My husband laughed at my utter panic but it was very real. Sitting at the beach and at the pool for 7 days and only one book already half read!! No! No! Fortunately when I inquired there was an informal book exchange at some of the pools in the resort and I managed to change up my book twice. I actually read a book I loved by a Canadian author Richard B Wright, "Clara Callan" which I never would have chosen if it hadn't been the best choice between lurid science fiction and Harlequin romance options. Love all the recommendations here! xo Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243448881221465601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-70242579545534184222018-03-05T17:15:38.531+13:002018-03-05T17:15:38.531+13:00That little kitty Cat is staking her claim !!

Moby Dick ... agh, I just wasn't patient enough to get through that one and I made several attempts when I was a bit younger just because it is considered classic literature. About a year ago I printed out a list of "must read classics" from a book list online. I thought I'd revisit some of them but there were so many I just couldn't bring myself to finish. I don't know about you but I feel a bit guilty that I can't get into some of them, and I'm a very "classics" person in other areas besides reading (i.e. clothing, the arts, etc.).<br /><br />D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-61117152046354816072018-03-04T04:42:09.542+13:002018-03-04T04:42:09.542+13:00First book our newly formed book club ( we all mov...First book our newly formed book club ( we all moved into a new apartment building over the course of a few months) read was The Art of Racing in the Rain by by Garth Stein. It is narrated by a dog, and deals with racing cars...but it is really a book about life. I loved it ! Now we are reading Defending Jacob my William Landy. I like it, but am not that far into it. Picked up one that is calling my name at a recent library visit - Eternal Life by Dara Horn.
