Let's talk about books. I think we have begun to lose our abilities to sit down and stay still and simply read. Maybe the "old-fashioned good book" will enrich us, help decompress our busy selves. Let's write about what we like to read about.

The Lion Seeker
By Kenneth Bonert
Toronto-based author Kenneth Bonert knew so much had already been written on shtetl (Yiddish for small town) life, he would have to do something very different if he tackled the subject. His debut novel, The Lion Seeker, succeeds brilliantly. This.... Read more on EverythingZoomer.com

Comment by June Louise Roy on March 27, 2013 at 11:48pm I put a hold on the book at the Milton library..I am 1st on the list. The local library had 9 holds on 2 copies.
While waiting for suspect..I checked out the Last Detective and Demolition Angel by Robert Crais.
Comment by MarilynLou Fraser on March 27, 2013 at 11:12pm Kobo gives Suspect by Robert Crais 4 stars out of 5.
I downloaded a preview of it. It is $15.99 on Kobo.
"The explosive new masterpiece from the #1 New York Times best selling author.
That's a pretty good rating.
Maybe I can borrow it from the library, downloaded to my Kobo?
BarbaraHiscox enjoy! Suspect
Comment by Barbara Hiscox on March 26, 2013 at 9:30pm Alex - I am really enjoying it. It is just 9:30 and I am heading up to bed (my favourite time and place to read) to get back into it.

Comment by Alex on March 24, 2013 at 10:00pm Oh I hope you like Suspect Barbara, it's one of those that I was sad to finish as I enjoyed it so much.
I think I will follow the advice of Dennis and Alexander and get more of Robert Crais' books and also the Jackie Collins one she's always good for a little distraction
I'm not sure about Nicholas Sparkes I did read one of his and was not too keen. I can't remember which one it was now.
I have a bit of travelling to do this week so some light stuff will be good.

Just finished this novel..It is rather unique entertaining and funny.
Comment by Barbara Hiscox on March 24, 2013 at 8:18pm Just finished Safe Haven (which is now a movie) by Nicholas Sparkes and really enjoyed it. Would almost always rather read the book before the movie comes out.
Have started Suspect.
Comment by MarilynLou Fraser on March 24, 2013 at 5:03pm When I read comments about a good book, I go to my Kobo desktop and look it up. Since I already have so many on Kobo, I usually get the Preview. Then later, if I like it, I can buy it from the Preview.
I didn't have Da Vinci Code, but since Kobo was offering it free for a week, I downloaded that one too.
After watching Marie Antoinette, the film, I wanted to read more about her. Kobo didn't have Antoinia Fraser's book, so I got The Life of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France by Charles Duke Young.
I want to read Canadian Shane Joseph's book, The Ulysses Man. I have it on my Kobo too.
Alex glad you liked. Suspect Robert Crais it was good.
