Okay, so one bad thing about using a Kindle is that it doesn't make for a very interesting photo!
Just read: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - I learned a lot about medical research issues and I enjoyed reading this book. I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads because I did enjoy reading it. However, I have to agree with what one reviewer said: The book contained a little too much about how the author wrote the book.
Currently reading: The Distant Hours - This is our July book club selection. At first it reminded me of Rebecca and I got sucked in right away. But soon it started to lag. I'm at page 100 right now and I hope it picks up soon.
Chomping at the bit to read: Shadow of Night - I cannot wait to read this book! We read A Discovery of Witches for book club a few months ago and I couldn't put it down. So I'm not letting myself pick this one up until I get other reading done first.
I'm also reading City Quilts and Sunday Morning Quilts, but I'll probably talk more about those books later.
What are you reading?
At the moment: nothing. Sad, isn't it?

The Long Earth, by Terry Pratchett.
Also rereading Howl's Moving Castle, the original book by Diana Wynne Jones. Very different from the movie, and in my opinion, far better.

I'm LOVING A Discovery of Witches - thank you for the recommendation! Next up = Charles Frazier's Nightwoods for August bookclub and The Chaperone (just for fun!) Recently read Karen White's On Folly Beach (solid 3.5 star beach read) and Erin Morgenstern's Night Circus (5 stars - LOVED!!)

My baby brother (okay, he's 20, so not a baby) was so into READING Game of Thrones, that I had to see what the hype was about...so I'm drowning in royal titles and intrigue with a bit of violence (not as much as I thought it would contain). I have A Discovery of Witches on the queue as well (and scarily, thanks to the moving experience I can state I have two copy paper boxes of books to read, actually...I might have a problem...)
