I like The Emperor's New Clothes by Sinead. And I love the way she dances Listening to The Cure and Howard Jones atm.

Haven't gotten into The Scarlet Letter yet- it's pretty difficult! But am nearly finished with Clive Barker's A-Z of Horror (for around the millionth time)! About 25 pages left

Finished the last 150 pages of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale, beautiful book for a beautiful day Up next: The Scarlet Letter- wooohoo!!

I had a friend almost beat to death on Halloween in San Francisco's Castro District, so ya, I'd say it's dangerous to be gay... even in a gay community.

Getting a late start on The Nightingale, stayed up til 2:00 reading and woke at 11:30 to finish the last 200 pages by tomorrow, as my mom and I will start The Scarlet Letter tomorrow- an actual *gasp* tree book! Lol. Last actual book I read was World War Z!

Actually, it's quite publicized here now, that it was a hate crime, his parents have even apologized and said he was homophobic. Gay communities all over the country have come out in sorrow. Memorials are all around the country. His ex wife said he was a paranoid man, who beat her. Yes, we have a big problem with guns here, a serious one. That's all I'll say about that.

I read 200 pages of The Nightingale today! *thud* It moves so quickly, I'm finding it hard to stop so I can go to bed! Good morning

I was just randomly thinking about you today! I'm glad you had a good time- and so many lovely books... I wish we had bookstores like that here (well, I'm sure in San Francisco)! How's the stage?

Tearing through Kristin Hannah's Nightingale... LOVE it!

Yes, that is correct about the blood (although California changed that in our state). And I will miss Obama as well

On Amazon US, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah is $2.99 today.

Worst mass shooting in US history today in Florida, 50 dead, 53 in the hospital. Shooter pledged to ISIS during the attack, guns were sold legally.

I remember Steins! Don't get me started on Atwood

Lovely.

Ugh! I can't do a spoiler on my Fire!!

I love it! My mom just bought me her Collected Stories for Kindle, I'm quite excited! I really liked: Coughing, her head up on three pillows, warm tea beside her; or on another night a limp, melting rag of wet Kleenex across her forehead.

Cypress Hill.

Ah! I hope it didn't disappoint you! I'll head over to your thread in a bit for a spoiler My mom and I are going to read The Scarlet Letter together, we plan on starting on Tuesday. In an attempt to support my local bookstore (there are only two here), I decided to get two copies from them and perhaps the Lydia Davis collection. Neither of them had any! . I mean, no Scarlet Letter?? Ridiculous! What the heck are they selling? I eventually bought them from Amazon, the cover is really cool, but come on!

I thought the same thing! I posted in the Lydia Davis thread instead . I'm glad you're having fun with the read a thon, you've read a lot already! Can't wait to see the new book list

That's like apples and oranges lol.

I'm sure you're done, can't wait to hear what you thought!

Very different- thanks for the suggestion

Lol Noll

Is it Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury?

*jumps up and down*
