Unbroken is a great book! I just finished reading "They Shoot Horses, don't They? A classic. Now I am into Lizzie Borden. I am reading "Lizzie Borden, the Legend, the Truth, The Final Chapter. I can't decide if she was guilty or not. Lizzie Border took an axe, gave her mother 40 wacks, when she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41. I am into ghosts and supernatural. I plan on staying at Lizzies house this summer with my daughter. They say it is haunted.

I just picked up some books by Daphne du Maurier (Rebecca). I got "My Cousin Rachel", "Marianne" and "Jamaica Inn", which I'm reading now. Classic gothic suspense!

I'm watching Game of Thrones right now, so I'm using that as an excuse to reread George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire books. Other than that, I have literally hundreds of books sitting on shelves begging to be read and reread, so I have no idea what will come after that. Possibly more fantasy. I have Jennifer Fallon's Tide Lords books, and Lois McMaster Bujold's Sharing Knife series waiting for me to finish them off.

My last novel was Nineteen Eighty-Four, then enthusiastically ploughed through The Lexicographer's Dilemma. Non-fiction about the history of English with particular focus on whether being able to say any kind of usage is right or not and the dilemma for authors of dictionaries about declaring a word to be slang, colloquial, redundant, archaic, English/foreign, etc. Loved it!
Just started Chekov's The Shooting Party - not read enough yet to form an opinion.

Hi Shelley!
Have you read Marie Bostwick's series? The main character owns a quilt shop in New England. The newest book comes out next Tuesday  I also like Sheryl Woods' Chesapeake Shores series-they're like the Blossom Street series, but set on the East Coast. Sherry |

Mary Karr's memoir: Lit
One of the best books about the life of an alcoholic I've read. She's a writer, so "lit" has a poignant double meaning. Off to read it now, great thread!
