What's your book club reading now?

Well, this month we were supposed to read The Luminaries. Most of us, me included, couldn't get into it. Next month we are going to brunch...four days after I will get my sleeve. Guess I'll miss that!!! Not sure what we will read for January. October we read The Silver Star...really liked it.

I've only read the Plum series. Lulu is my favorite character!!! And her grandmother. The movie "One For the Money" was ok, but of course the book was way better.

I know, the movies are never as good. I own every book in the Plum series - even the between the numbers ones - LOVE them. You would prolly like her other books though. I love her sense of humor and she writes the same in all of them.

I'll look up some of Janet Evanovich's other books for my kindle. I bet you're right and I'll love them. My daughter loves her, too. She just sits and laughs and laughs :)

I love Jodi Picoult, baldachi, and your basics like koontz, king, Patterson, etc. but truthfully, if you put it in my hands I'll read it. I have to admit, my daughter had to read The Hunger Games for school so I read it as well. Loved it so much I got the other two. Lol

I was just posting on my 5:2 thread and thought I'd paste it here too :)

Wally Lamb books!

"She's come undone" is one of my favorites and " this much is true" but he also wrote a book called "couldn't keep it to myself"

About his time teaching writing to a group of female prisoners and it contains their writings, stories about their lives..

A snippet of the description, it is an awesome read..

:::::::For several years, Lamb has taught writing to a group of women prisoners at York Correctional Institution in Connecticut. In this unforgettable collection, the women of York describe in their own words how they were imprisoned by abuse, rejection, and their own self-destructive impulses long before they entered the criminal justice system. Yet these are powerful stories of hope and healing, told by writers who have left victimhood behind.::::::

It is followed by a book called I'll fly away...

By the way "she's come undone" is a haunting book.. I could not believe while I was reading it that a man wrote it..

Laura, yes!! I love his books. I need to re-read She's Come Undone, I read it years ago when it was on Oprah's Book Club in the 90s but I remember loving it.

I most recently read "The Hour I First Believed" which I thought was just incredible too. Have you read it yet?

I'm going to look for the prison book you mentioned. He also has a new hardcover release, I just had it in my hand the other day at the bookstore but instead I went with "One Summer" by Bill Bryson which is non-fiction.

The new Wally Lamb is called "We are Water".

Anyway, I have already said, but to answer the thread -- I am reading "One Summer: America 1927" by Bill Bryson which I am enjoying very much so far.

:) :) :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
