I'm reading Too Close To The Falls, by Catherine Gildiner.
I am reading a really bizarre book, "The Graveyard Book". Not my cup of tea at all but my book club picked it for this month. It's the story of a baby raised in a graveyard by a variety of spooks. I feel like I have to finish it but to tell you the truth I would just as soon trash it. I joined the book club to meet some new people in the town we moved into and to expand my horizons as I had gotten into a rut with my reading. So far I have been unimpressed with most of the choices. But it has certainly gotten me out of that rut. I can't wait to get back into it again!
Has anyone here read "Death Comes to Pemberley"?
I feel the same... but have delayed buying it because of luke-warm reviews. Will continue to wait for it at the library!Had to read this as a fan of both Jane Austen and PD James.

Anyone read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?
not yet, but I picked up Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters at the used bookstore and need to get on it. A friend who is more of a Bronte fan read the P&P&Z and loved it.
Just to note, I finished "The Land of the Painted Caves" and happy to say the drama picked up in the last couple hundred pages, and I was satisfied with the novel's end and the end of the series.I'm finishing up "The Land of the Painted Caves" by Jean M. Auel, the most recent and probably final in her Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children) series. It's a bit slower than the previous novels in the series, not quite enough drama for me, too much descriptive stuff. However for years I've hoped a sequel would come out and I'm glad she has finished up the story.
I just got around to starting "11/22/63" by Stephen King. The storyline seems very interesting, but I'll admit I balked at starting it because of the sheer size.
I don't read much fiction. The last King book I read was "The Stand" and that was back in the 80s.
