Book Club

Ash bought me a Kindle for Christmas and I love love love it. It has really helped the whole lugging a heavy book around London situation. But I have found that actual book or Kindle, if what I am reading is not page turning, captivating, unputdownable, it is very tempting to catch a quick nap on the train rather than read my book. Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger recently gave me the addictiveness that I've been craving in a book. I was reading it on the train, in bed at night, every chance that I got. The author is also the lady who wrote The Time Traveler's Wife and the story has a similar ghost-story / fantasy / love-story feel. It also sort of reminded me of an old favorite of mine - The Lake Of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman. I highly recommend both of these books if you need an interesting read.

  1. I feel the same way. If I can't get into a book within the first 10 pages, it's difficult to keep reading! Even when I've heard great reviews about it. Love you peachy!

  3. Oh, good call on Lake of Dead Languages . . . I enjoyed 'Loving Frank' a couple of years ago. That one just popped into my head. You may want to check it out.

  4. Just finished reading two books here- "the best of times" by Penny Vincenzi (takes place in London) and "the swan thieves".. both really good. Will have to check out the two you recommended- hard to find English books here unless I'm in Amsterdam but maybe the library will have some!! can't wait to see you soon!
