    I'm reading the 3rd book in "The Others" series by Anne Bishop. She is by far my favorite dark fantasy writer! I also loved her "Black Jewels" series. Her ability to create realistic worlds and characters is surpassed by none.

    Just started "A Painted Goddess" Book 3 in the A Fire Beneath the Skin Series by Victor Gischler. Absolutely loved the first 2. If you like fantasy novels this is a good set.

    Dollar Store does have some great pics. I just saw We Are Water by Wally Lamb @ mine. I'm on to Me Before You & I can't put it down! May be a personal record for the fastest I've read a book.

    Just read an Alexander McCall book called The Sunday Philosopher's Club. A light "mystery". Set in Edinburg, Scotland a professional philosopher and ethics journal editor looks into the sudden death of a young man who falls out of a theater balcony.

    This was a waste of my time. Too much musing on the ethics of every thing and very little actual mystery. Not very well developed characters either.

    Its funny how the best ones take the shortest amount of time to read.

    The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly. It's the latest Harry Bosch novel. I am on the waiting list for The Whistler by John Grisham.

    The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander
    A Breath of snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon (again)
    A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

    Recently finished: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. This is an amazing non-fiction piece about how one woman's cervical cancer tissue (taken without her or her family's permission) revolutionized biomedical research and was used to drive new discoveries of the past 50 years. The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon is one of many in The Outlander series, which follows the life and times of a surgeon who accidentally travels back in time to 18th-century Scotland (among other places).

    I like the Outlander series, too. My next book would also be A Breath of Snow & Ashes.

    Henrietta Lacks was an interesting read.

    I'm currently reading an oldie I found at the library: Call It Sleep by Henry Roth. I've just started so can't comment on it yet.

    I just finished reading Salt and the Sea by Ruta Sepetys.

    Winter, 1945. Four teenagers. Four secrets.Each one born of a different homeland; each one hunted, and haunted, by tragedy, lies…and war. As thousands of desperate refugees flock to the coast in the midst of a Soviet advance, four paths converge, vying for passage aboard the Wilhelm Gustloff, a ship that promises safety and freedom. Yet not all promises can be kept.

    Well, I finished Call It Sleep and don't recommend it.

    I also finished When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. I thought this was a very touching contemplation of one's death. A young doctor is diagnosed with terminal cancer.

    I'm about to start Two-Gun & Sun by June Hutton.
