I recently read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Have you read it? Did you like it? Discuss!
The book this past weekend was “The Thief of Auschwitz” by Jon Clinch. I liked it very much and felt it was expertly written and deeply affecting. Have you read it?
I read The Magician’s Assistant last week. I know, I know, it isn’t new, but I’d never read it. I absolutely loved it. If you’ve read it too, please tell me your honest opinion of it!
My two most recent books. Have you read these? Opinions??

Poisonwood Bible is a runaway train. I couldn’t put it down. One book I’ve really enjoyed this year is Mudbound.

I hadn’t heard of it until now, Rosemarie, but you can rest assured I’m putting it on my list. Since you were as captured by PB as I was, I trust your judgment, and having an extensive book list is like a great insurance policy to me.

Takes place in Mississippi, not a favorite location for me, but the story moves along. The characters are all very believable. Some difficult parts. A new author Hillary Jordan.

P.S. I wrote about Mudbound on my other blog “Edge of the Forest” back in February if you want to know more.

Rosemarie, I just clicked to follow Edge of the Forest, so I hope you’re still posting there! What a beautiful blog. I haven’t yet found your Mudbound post, but I’m seeing LOTS of other wonderful stuff …

It’s been a while, Rosemarie, so I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I’m finally reading Mudbound and I can’t put it down. Thank you for the referral! And I hope you’re doing well …

I have really wanted to read The Poisonwood Bible but haven’t gotten around to it yet. I’ve heard good things about it. I just finished Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese and loved, loved, loved it! Definitely one of my favorites!
