K Atie, I just finished reading that book a couple of weeks ago.  I thought it was a very good book.  DH also read it.

Just started Lee Lin Chin's book ... can't remember the name!  Something about Iced Beer!!!  It's a short, fun book, easy to read.

I will have to look out for that Marina. I'm reading The Dry by Jane Harper. (?) It is a book club book but I had bought it and I am enjoying it.

K Atie that is so true. I have finished my book club book, Circling the Sun, Paula McLain. I've almost finished The Last Hours by Minette Walters. She used to write who dunnits but this book and her next are about the plague in England. I'm really enjoying it. DD and I are going to hear her speak in a few weeks.

Asked DH to pick up Lethal White by Robert Galbraith. Rather thick book , but love the strike novels this is the fourth . Listening to Clock Dance by Anne Tyler started it awhile ago but had too many audio books from BorrowBox at the same time so just catching up on them now .

I have just finished reading The Lost Man by Jane Harper.  I have also read her other two books, The Dry and Force of Nature.

Loved Of Mice and Men.  Haven't had a chance to think about holiday reading yet.  Hoping to pick up some tips on this thread.  The Grapes of Wrath is also an excellent book.
