Right now I am reading Inside the O’Briens by Lisa Genova, who wrote Still Alice. It is a captivating read. We enter the lives of family members going on their daily routines. Suddenly they are faced with the diagnosis of Hintington’s and the challenges it presents. I recommend it
I just read, Jeffrey Archer’s, To Cut A Long Story Short. It’s about nine short stories in total and was released in 2000. If anyone wants to borrow it, I would be glad to share it. I enjoy his writings. He adds a different twist to most of his stories. Brenda Allen
The Book Thief – Markus Zusak – Berwick’s Book Club Selection No.1, interesting angle of this story within the stories of Nazi Germany. I so liked the main characters. Now onto Flight Behavior, Barbara Kingsolver, #2 book for Berwick. Not sure what I’ll find here. To Mary Lynn, Still Alice was such a wonderfully written book, I missed the movie. I have Inside the O’Briens on my to-read list.
Has anyone read The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry – Rachel Joyce, 2013? – Unforgettable read, I finished it earlier this month.
I haven’t but noted the title. It sounds good!
I saw the movie, The Book Thief and LOVED it. And I like Flight Behaviour too. Good choices!
I am just beginning to read “The Merit Birds” by a new author and friend Kelley Powell. Cam is an eighteen year old Ottawa lad who finds himself in Vientiane, Laos. Kelley does a wonderful job of weaving a great story of action, suspense and humour. I believe older teens would like this novel. (available at Amazon)
Jodi Picoult’s latest is on my list, ‘Leaving Time’. Hugh is reading it now and has a hard time putting it down!
