I can read right out in the open. :) I just finished "My Hollywood", which you might like, it's a bit similar to "The Help", which I read because of your review. :)<br /><br />Now I'm starting "Her Fearful Symmetry" by Audrey Niffenegger, who wrote "The Time Traveler's Wife".<br /><br />I liked the "Girl" books, but the first one and third one were really difficult for me to get into. Once I finally did, I enjoyed them. I doubt I would read them again, though.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-32078789783161607722010-09-29T21:43:28.757-04:002010-09-29T21:43:28.757-04:00I've always thought it would be fun to join a ...I've always thought it would be fun to join a book club!

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo has been on my list to read for a long time.<br /><br />How have I not heard about The Book of Negroes? I followed your link and started to just read about the historical books and I am totally hooked. I've got to find a copy of this to read. <br /><br />Have a great weekend!Tracie Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908908021649000930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-30629134532775988122010-09-24T23:22:22.423-04:002010-09-24T23:22:22.423-04:00Will there be a day or age when my children will b...Will there be a day or age when my children will begin sleeping in? I ask this because I'd love to reignite my passion for reading as well, but I will only stay up late to read if I know I can sleep in at least until 7 or 8 on weekends. Right now I feed one at 5 and then the 2 year old wants to wake up as soon as she's done eating and goes back to sleep. He's awful lately. Tell me there's a light at the end of this tunnel. I need a light.jmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910737494137891606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-46454198940383675162010-09-24T15:07:16.040-04:002010-09-24T15:07:16.040-04:00good song. ;)

We have seen them live (opened for Bon Jovi) and they are fabulous.<br /><br />I totally hide in the bathroom to read too. I am on a reading role - 5-6 books every three weeks from the library. I will read anything and honestly the best books I have found lately are in the Young Adult Fiction section - time travel and magic. The adult romances are all the same - I am over them!Kamis Khlopchykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10891667631830654830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752424.post-43118251075099390592010-09-24T11:45:03.070-04:002010-09-24T11:45:03.070-04:00Recently, I reignited my love affair with reading....Recently, I reignited my love affair with reading.

He has a book out called, "Heyday" and it is big, boisterous and eminently readable. I am in the midst of it now - along with everything else I am into at the moment.

I loved "Book of Negros" too, you should also read his earlier one "Any Know Blood" which is about the Underground Railroad and the blacks who ended up in south western Ontario.
