Ready For a New Idea

Does anyone have an idea for the next read?

Time for a Biography

How about a change in genre? I thought we would try a biography this time. My choice is Leonardo The First Scientist by Michael White. This book focuses on Leonardo as a scientist instead of as an artist. I am not sure how the two can be separated in his case. I think this book will tie in nicely with the historical fiction that we have read. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Next New Read!!

After a brief intermission, we've found a new book. The next selection is The Zookeepers Wife by Diane Ackland. So join us if you can.....the start date for actually reading? Well, as soon as anyone interested secures a copy. I will be anxiously be awaiting the go signal from our other blog members.

The Golden Compass

We decided to put Look Me in the Eye on hold. The controversy swirling around the Golden Compass sparked our interest. We thought we would give it a look and come back to Look Me in the Eye a little later.

Look Me in the Eye

Our next selection is Look Me in the Eye. This book is written by a person that did not discover that he had Asperger's until he was an adult. I am sure it will prove interesting.

Various and Sundry

I would like to suggest a new thread. Why don't we comment on books that we read outside of our blog selections? Sometimes I have an opportunity to read a book in between our selections that I think you might be interested in reading - or I might not even like it and want you to not waste your money. Let's use this thread for those "extra" books.

Next Up-

Wandering through Books-A-Million I came up with three possibilities for our next selection - The Martian Child, The Devil in the Junior League, and Second Honeymoon. The first, The Martian Child, is about a child that has been in the foster system and has been categorized as "hard to place". The next, The Devil in the Junior League, sounds like it is hysterical. It is a "relationship" story but the sounds like it has a lot of laughs with some southern humor thrown in. The last, Second Honeymoon, is by Joanna Trollope. All the children leave home, the house is unnaturally quiet, mom wishes the children were back, and, guess what?, they all end up back home. You don't always want your wishes to come through. (I think this is my dream/nightmare...)

Take your pick - what are you feeling up to? Discuss it amongst yowa selves...
