    "Outrageous Openness" by Tosha Silver and "The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brene Brown

    Rising Strong had an influence on me. At the very least gave me context and made me feel better about my oversharing

    I loved this book! Can't wait to see the movie in August. I hope it lives up to the book.

    working on The Shining right now, just finished Doctor Sleep(The sequel) and decided to go back and doing them back to back there's a lot of little details that play into doctor sleep

    I'm STILL picking at "IT"...such a long effing book...but SO good!

    After a long hiatus from his books I’m just starting to get hooked again.

    A lot of the time I try to avoid "the next big read" but I'm curious...so I'm starting Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owen.

    John Sandford’s Dark of the Moon. About 80% through and can’t wait to be done with it. Reading it so I can tell my mother I read it, but it’s one of the most difficult books I’ve gotten through in a while.

    @seltzermint555 I loved Where the Crawdads Sing.

    Just finished a fantasy book called Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold.

    @Motorsheen - really??? Now you have me interested...
    Is it a gory type of terrifying or more of a psychological thriller type of scary?

    @forestfreek

    not gory.... just a "creepy" ... sinister power kinda vibe.

    I'm a fan of most everything he's written. It's well worth a look.....

    I buy a lot of used books from Abe Books .Com.
    It's bound to be there at a highly discounted rate.

    @tinkerhellraiser Where the Red Fern Grows is a notoriously depressing book. It's great. I love hearing another generation is exposed to it.

    I listen to books ALL the time when exercising or in the car, or on a plane etc. I have cried in so many weird places because of this. Riding in the rental car shuttle bus at LAX crying like a baby because a beloved character died (I first met this character in 1989 or so... he was like a friend)

    Walking down the trail this weekend, tears flowing. Some very nice lady stopped and asked if I needed help. I said no, I'm listening to a book (what else do you need to know?)
