Read any Good Books Lately?

I've been so busy lately reading material in my field that I haven't done a lot of "just for fun" reading. BUT I picked up Faithful Place by Tana French and can not put it down.  It has everything!  Plot, suspense, multi layered interesting characters, atmosphere - takes place in Dublin - extremely gripping and well written. Have I piqued your interest????

I had purchased a copy of T. D. Jakes' "Healing the Wounds of Your Past".  My sister in-law wanted to borrow it, but I misplaced it.  To show you how strange it is, I decided to get rid of some clutter and found the book.  I plan to complete it this time and may pass it on to her. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :star: :rainbow:

Recently I have read two books both by Yann Martel and they were both AMAZING.  The first one was Life of Pi and the second one was Beatrice and Virgil

I need to go back and start reading again asap.  It's been forever since I've read a book.

I just finished MIDWIVES by Chris Bojalian. It is a fascinating story about a midwife who helps a woman give birth, only to have the woman die because she can't get her to the hospital in time. A trial takes place in which she is accused of killing the woman because she performs a Caesarean section on her to save the baby's life. Surprising twist at the end.

I'm just finishing up the last book of Game of Thrones, but I'm listening to the audio book version whenever I can fit it ib ---- in the car, exercising, at home when no one is around.

I wish I had more time to read, but I am in the midst of reading J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy, but unfortunately I have so little time to read that it's hard to remember what happened each time I go back to it. So far it's really interesting though, and quite different.

I can't relate to 'just for fun' reading.  Never been my thing but I have read some good books lately.  All about health and natural cures.  I have a huge stack of them I have read in the past year and an even bigger stack awaiting to be read.
