With anyone who has read it and enjoyed the series so far. Burke did some things in this book that I thought were shocking and not wise overall. So if anyone has read it. Let me know!

Thanks!

I haven't read the book but I'm always looking for a new series to read so I wanted to thank you for updating your list. Looks like I'll be heading to my local library again soon. ;)

FF, you have an E-reader?

Most of my books lately (well, all but comic books) have been on my Kindle.
(been in a zombie/Superhero kick lately.

Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines: Zombie apocalypse & Superheroes in one, how can you go wrong?

Subject 12 (Guild Files) by S.W. Douglas: Gritty superhero novel. devoured this one

Wearing the Cape by Marion G. Harmon: Another good superhero read, & this one was only $.99

Hounded & the next in the series Hexed by Kevin Hearne: Urban Fantasy. Excellent read.

Plus I grabbed a bunch of novels I had in paperback & got them on my kindle. I have been keeping busy.

This sounds like great stuff.

You must like your Kindle, huh?
 
"I highly recommend inviting the worst case scenario into your life. I met Ellen when I was 168 pounds and she loved me. She didn't see that I was heavy, she only saw the person inside. My two greatest fears, being fat and being gay, when realized lead to my greatest joy." <snip> ~ Portia De Rossi from her book Unbearable Lightness, A Story of Loss and Gain.

I just got done Unbearable Lightness and I did not like it at all. She comes off as extremely condescending in parts...

*sigh*
I used to think 168 was fat, too.

To her any weight was too much really. She was really extreme. To me, this was a fascinating journey into the mind of a bulimic and anorexic extremist. I'm so very grateful I have never gone through that.

I didn't feel that way about her but she is very flawed. She is full of self loathing and anger, hopefully that's a part of her past these days? The one thing I didn't like about the book was that the why and how of her being that never was explained. I mean I know she was a model and actress. I know she was closeted gay. I know her dad died but her fear of being "normal" and depth of anger was extreme and I wanted to know why.

By contrast, I wanted my kids to be normal and cried when they were called gifted or whatever as standouts. LOL

~ Walter Mosley from his novel, When The Thrill Is Gone.

"I learned when I was at sea," he continued, "that a black man don't have to let his head hang down, he could have just as big dreams as any white man or Brahmin, the Aztec princess or Gypsy king. I gave my children the kind of dreams they could live by, but dreams are like oceans, Mr. McGill. If they're worth a damn they're bigger than the dreamer, and sometimes, when the one dreaming wants to be as big as what they imagine, the wave pulls 'em down."

His words washed over me like the ocean they evoked. I ignored the impact for the time being because I had a job to do.

On the street I felt like an adolescent again -- on the run, back under the radar of the fost-care system. This was due to the broken family, missing sister and the worlds of Nathan Chambers.

. . . dreams are like oceans . . .

All the years I had spent hating my father for his laser -like attention and then abrupt abandonment, and it only took these few words to explain him in a way that the twelve-year-old in me could understand. Dreams are ike the oceans and sometimes they pull the dreamer down.

~ Walter Mosley from his novel, When The Thrill Is Gone

"It's a luxury to feel guilt, Hush. Little Thackery might sneak into the cupboard and take a cookie when his mother told him to leave them alone. Afterwords he feels guilty. That's because he's innocent and needs to confess because he was a bad boy but still able to be forgiven. That's no us. There is no forgiveness for us. For people like you and me, guilt is an indulgence. It's meaning less like a platter of caviar served up on the front lines of if a war. Our confession, our clemency, comes from doing what's right."
 
~ Walter Mosley from his novel, When The Thrill Is Gone.

"My client left six kids to fend for themselves."

"She lied to you."

"So? Why should she be any different?"

I nodded and turned away, ruminated over the little scenes of my life. I was like a bug that had learned to live close to, may even inside of, fire, so that the predators would be scared away -- going to help to keep the bad men off my tail.
 
60.) Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie

Short but good, I've heard about this book for a while. I'm glad I read it, finally.

60.) Raven's Shadow by Patricia Briggs

First book in a new series for me to read. Enjoyed it. I want more.

August

61.) Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Good Sookie fun, as always!
