Just read "Fly Away", the sequel to "Firefly Lane" by Kristin Hannah. Both are excellent. I quite like her books.
Books! How do you read and what do you read?

Just started reading How Stella Learned To Talk by Christina Hunger. She's the speech therapist who taught her dog how to use a language pad. I got a physical copy of the book from the library because they don't have the electronic version.
It's on my library list now!

I read simple little cozi mysteries. A 2-3 hour read and go through them like crazy on my kindle. Even in school, I could concentrate on serious reading. Still can’t to this day. Only the Bible, of which most of it is on audio book.

I just finished reading How Stella Learned To Talk by Christina Hunger and it was a very enjoyable, easy read. If you're at all interested in learning about how a speech pathologist taught her dog to use buttons to "talk" I highly recommend it. The book includes a lot about how kids pick up language and how kids with differences learn to use communication devices as well.

THE BREAK-UP BOOK CLUB by Wendy Wax
Starts out slow as the key people are introduced.
This book is about women, love & marriage.
Good novel for Summer reading.

I just started reading "Brat! An 80's Story" by Andrew McCarthy and I'm enjoying it so far. I really enjoyed the prologue and think the rest of the book will be interesting.

I'm retired, so it didn't apply; very interesting read, though.

I read mostly via audio book nowadays as my eyes are too weak to read small print. My dad's family had a long history of near blindness and I have reached the stage in my life where I need those audio books. At present, I have just started Arthur C Clarke's "Child Hood End". David Bowie's song "Oh You Pretty Things" was influenced by that book.

Its always interesting to see what everyone reads.
Finished reading the 6th book of the Seven Sister series, THE SUN SISTER, by Lucinda Riley.
It is 637 pages long.
Some parts are a slow read,, had to put it down , come back to it.
For those that have read this series need to read it to tie them together.

Right now I'm reading Britannia Rules by Daphne DuMaurier; she wrote it in 1972 (or thereabouts), takes place in the late 70s, and the story has it that the U.S. takes over the U.K. to "help with the UK's monetary problems, etc." Takes place from the viewpoint of U.K. citizens in Cornwall dealing with the invasion, fascinating.
