What books do you recommend for fun reading while waiting? I'm reading "before I go to sleep" and it's good so far.

I really liked that book! The book of Negroes was by far one of the best books I have read ever! Also for a light read sTori telling was pretty good too.

I have fallen in love platonically with author Katrina Kittle. She's amazing. I love all her books, and they're pretty recent but starting to win awards. I especially liked "Two Truths and a Lie"... impressive plot and couldn't stop reading. "The Kindness of Strangers" is great too but handles some tough issues.

I also recently liked "The Doctor's Wife" by Elizabeth Brundage and "Unbearable Lightness" (Porta de Rossi - Ellen's wife.)

I just ordered "Down Came the Rain" by Brooke Shields. She talks about infertility, ART, post-partum, and life after! My next read.

I agree with Juliet - Unbearable Lightness was an amazing book. I couldn't put it down! I just finished the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy and am on book 2 of the Hunger Games Trilogy. I also just started The Vow. All very light reads, but good just the same. :)

Love this thread!

For a nice light beach read (or beaching yourself for the 2WW) Lorna Lanvik's "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons." It's pretty funny.

If you want to cry buckets, I'd recommend "The Art of Racing in the Rain." About a dog who loves his master so much.... I tear up just thinking about it.

For some life afirming hope message, Paulo Coehlo's "The Alchemist." My favourite book ever.

For oppulence and nostalgia, F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby."

Loved reading "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova. Her "Left Neglect" book is also a great one. She tackles problems like when Alzheimer's hits a family.

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

 

Beautiful literature with the backdrop of Russian history from the Bolshevik purges to the growth of communism. So far my favourite read from this year.

Trevor Noah - Born A Crime
It was long, awful & hard. We got very lucky and didn't run out of both emotional and financial resources. We saw some of the most beautiful of people in our lowest moments. Baby Girl arrived Apr 10/2018
