| August Book Thread I LOVE to read. I read everything I can get my hands on, so I think it would be interesting to have a monthly book thread to see what everyone is reading and whether or not they give it a or a . I just started reading Mudbound by Hillary Jordan. I already know I am going to like this book. It takes place in 1946 on a cotton farm in the Mississippi Delta. "Laura struggles to raise two young children in an isolated shotgun shack with no indoor plumbing or electricity, under the eye of her hateful, racist father-in-law. Her husband's brother is charming, handsome, and sensitive to her plight but also haunted by his combat in WWII". So, what is everyone reading??

| That book sounds really interesting! I've never heard of it, but I'll have to look it up at my next trip to the bookstore! My summers are always full of girly books, you know the kind that are always made into chick-flicks Right now I'm reading Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner... For twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie Shapiro. Sure, her mother has come charging out of the closet, and her father has long since dropped out of her world. But she loves her friends, her rat terrier, Nifkin, and her job as pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia Examiner. She''s even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size body. But the day she opens up a national women''s magazine and sees the words "Loving a Larger Woman" above her ex-boyfriend''s byline, Cannie is plunged into misery...and the most amazing year of her life. From Philadelphia to Hollywood and back home again, she charts a new course for herself: mourning her losses, facing her past, and figuring out who she is and who she can become.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | ooooohhhhh....I think this is a gread idea to see what everyones reading Right now, I'm finishing up "The Choice", Nicholas Sparks. My daughter/I have all of his books & take turn reading: Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life - boating, swimming, and regular barbeques with his close buddies - he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is until Gabby Holland moves in next door.

| With things in my life now I'm trying to read things that make me laugh. I have such a wide variety of types of books that I read. Currently, I am reading So NoTorious by Tori Spelling and I just picked up Mama For President, Good Lord, Why Not? Written by Vicki Lawrence as her character Thelma Harper.

| I love Nicholas Sparks also. Right now I am reading an Anne George book "Murder Shoots the Bull". I love her Southern Sisters murder books. She writes about 2 sisters in B'ham that always find themselves surrounded by murder. The way my sister Mary Alice got us arrested was simple enough; she hit the president of the bank over the head with my umbrella. Grabbed it right away from me and 'thunk' let him have it. I think he was more surprised than hurt. There was hardly any blood, and everyone knows how much head wounds bleed. There wasn't even a very big knot. Probably wouldn't have been one at all if he'd had any hair. But he screeched like she'd killed him and the security guard came rushing in, saw Mr. Jones staggering around holding his head, and pulled a gun on us. He looked like Barney Fife, the guard did, and chances were the bullet was in his pocket, but you just don't take a chance on things like that. At least I don't. Sister said later that she might have hit the guard, too, at least knocked the gun out of his hand, if he hadn't looked so pitiful standing there shaking like a leaf. She also said she was surprised that Alcorn Jones, being a bank president, didn't have a higher threshold of pain.

| Ohh I am making my library list from this thread! I am reading Buddha by Deepak Chopra and I've got Nature Girl by Carl Hiaasen sitting on my desk waiting for it's turn. Here are the Amazon links to both if anyone wants to read the descriptions: Amazon.com: Buddha: A Story of Enlightenment:... Amazon.com: Nature Girl: Carl Hiaasen: Books I am thoroughly enjoying Buddha- it is written in a very entertaining easy to read manner. Hubby has read Nature Girl and said it was funny which all Hiaasen books are IMO.

| I'm reading P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern. This was a movie w/ Hillary Swank. I'm only on pg 42 but the book seems to be completely different from the movie--go figure

| Don't you hate that? I always read the book before seeing the movie, and so much stuff is always missing from the movies, and the character developments just aren't the same!

I Love My Babies Donating Member | OH ME TOO, ME TOO. I have all of her books and re-read them. I also like the Harry Potter books. Ok... so I am a kid at heart. I am an avid reader.. I love to kick back on the outside swing with my puppies and read a wonderful book. Of course, I take breaks to play with the puppies between their naps. Bobbi

| I usually read the book before seeing the movie also but I didn't in this case. I can understand if details are left out to an extent otherwise the movie could be 6 hrs long but I hate when the plot is changed completely--like characters are changed or omitted and when the ending is completely different. I really should know better
