Dark places, it's the last of the gillian Flynn books for me, I wish she'd hurry up and write another!
We make our own fortunes and call them fate, and what better excuse to choose a path then to insist it's our destiny.

Conspirata by Robert Harris. It's about Cicero's consulship and fight against Catiline - fun to read, since I read Cic's Catiline speeches in 3rd year Latin in HS.
The Storyline follows Imperium, Cic's rise to power.

That sounds really interesting, sisoon!
I am currently reading The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. I just started book 14: Cold Days. I've really gotten a kick out of this series. Very entertaining and easy reading.
I needed some lighter reading after going through a bunch of affair/FOO/depression/shame related books, followed by Crime and Punishment and War and Peace.

And you still remember them?!!? This is not a knock on your graduation date - I'm just saying that we read them in 4th year HS Latin (1997) and I'll be damned if I can remember anything outside of the neighborhood of "Non est saepius in uno homine summa salus periclitanda rei publicae." (In honesty I had to look it up to refresh.)
That and the fact that he kept referring to them OVER and OVER in the oration. (Something something, Catalina.)
GOOD for you, man!

I'm doing practical and fun reading at the same time..
"Single parenting that works" by Dr. Kevin Leman and "The one you really want" by Jill Mansell.
I really seem to be into Brit lit these days and he books are light and funny. I found 5 of her books on Amazon used for 6 bucks each including shipping.

"It wouldn't be called a breakup if it wasnt broken" by Greg Berhert (sp?). It's the guy who wrote "he's just not that into you".
It seems trite in the face of so much trauma but it made me LOL! At the absurdity of hanging on to nothing. Life does go on and this book is lighthearted enough to take your mind off of the pain. I suggest it! <3

Just finished "Poppet" by Mo Hayder (scary but not as scary as past novels of her), the latest by Kate Atkinson (wow can that woman write), and "Hammer of the Gods" about Led Zep.
I so love to read but this summer has been a struggle because my eyes hurt. Probably due to diabetes.
Waiting with bated breath for Stephen King's sequel to "the Shining." Coming out in the fall - called "Dr. Sleep."

Just finished "The Absolutist." It was very good and would make for an interesting book club discussion.

"The Book Thief", took me a while to get into it, but so far it is pretty good.

Just finished The Lovebird by Natalie Brown for my book club.
I think it's my new favorite book.
DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.
