I'll be finishing up Harry Potter 7 and then I've got 6 ??? books a friend lent me. She's coming up at the end of August so I'd like to return them all to her then. They're all paranormals and I haven't been in a paranormal mood for awhile. |

Still Reading: "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" very rich and satisfying!!! Loving it. Just finished: "The Keep" Jennifer Egan: Mysterious, exciting and sharp! I would highly recommend this one! . Disgrace" J.M. Coetze :Excellent !!!! Gonna read more of him for sure, Some lit crit on Gothic Writers. Best short stories from 2005 ed: Michael Chabon, good esp: JCO's "Cousins" this is an early excerpt from her new book :"The Grave diggers Daughter" started: "The 42nd parallel :USA trilogy" John Dos Passos: not sure about this but I like Millenium books so will stick with it. "Ghost Town" Patrick McGrath : Interesting:three era's in New York history as seen by three different characters.picked it up and put it down,.not real impressed by his style,seemed too stilted and not engaging, even tho it was a real cool idea. trying to get into "A Painted House," Grisham, not grabbing me,hmmm. Finishing: "The Ice Storm:" Rick Moody, " The Life of PI" Yann Martel Next up: Beasts of No Nation for my New Author challenge/The Human Stain/Philip Roth, The Lost German Slave Girl / John Bailey, The Bookseller of Kabul/Sierstad TBR pile and 2007 New Author Challenge, more Sue Grafton,or Micheal Connolly or Dennis Lehane,can't make up my mind, sooooo much to read!!!

Just started "Rasputin's Daughter" by Robert Alexander. I found it in my library pile and it's due for return today actually,. It's the follow up to "The Kitchen Boy" which was also excellent! Very good writer and the stories are very intriguing also, I guess that historical fiction would be the category for these books,all about people in and around the Russian Revolution. Finished this last night. It was exciting and everything but felt a bit mushy (sentimenal) towards the end. I think I liked "The Kitchen Boy" better but I did like that he put a glossary of Russian terms and a foloow up on what happened to the major characters. Hope he puts out another one soon!

Trying to finish Historic Haunted America by Michael Norman & Beth Scott. It's long and relatively dry. Just also started The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Zafon for my A-Z challenge. Actually both of these books are. Next up? Who knows. I've got vacation coming up, so I can't wait to have more reading time at hand!! :-) ETA: One certainty on my August reading list... after vacation, I will read the first Harry Potter book so I can see what this fuss is about!
