What's everyone reading?
Hi everyone,
Thought I'd get my thread started here on what's everyone reading? I'm currently
reading John Grisham's "The Summons". It's very interesting and I hope to finish it
sometime today. What's on your coffee table, nightstand or end table?

I'm reading "What Does This Button Do?: An Autobiography" by Bruce Dickinson.
New York Times Best Seller
A long-awaited memoir from the larger-than-life, multifaceted lead vocalist of Iron Maiden, one of the most successful, influential and enduring rock bands ever.

I just finished the first book in a new cozy mystery series that features two women detectives - one is 67 years old and the other is 71! The Ghost Busting Mystery is the first in the Shady Hoosier Detective Agency series from author Daisy Pettles.
Ruby Jane and Veenie are lifelong besties who need more than their social security to get by, so they take jobs as sleuths (since they're nosy anyway) with the Harry Shades Detective Agency - also known as the Shady Hoosier Detective Agency, since Harry's a kind of shady guy...
Ghosts, murder, lost treasure, drunk dog, this book is hysterical fun to read. Per Daisy's website, two more capers are in Ruby Jan and Veenie's future.

I just loved this book, 100 yr. Old Man etc. I think I laughed at every page. We don't get much to laugh at these days so this book was a godsend. I recommended it to everyone & they all felt we need more books like this one.
I just listened to the audio book One Good Dog by Susan Wilson. It's about a fighting pitbull who escapes & finds his way to a man whose whole life is coming apart. I have the book Racing in the Rain by the same author which I haven't started yet. Hoping it's as good as One Good Dog.

I've just finished listening to a series of audiobooks by David Rosenfelt, read by Grover Gardner. It's about a dog-loving attorney, Andy Carpenter, and his associates; and it's filled with intrigue, wit, humor, and warmth. Enjoyed them so much! Wish Mr. Rosenfelt and Mr. Gardner would crank them out much faster.

Really? I've been looking at that one but for some reason I haven't gotten it yet. Maybe I'll put it in my wish list...

I want to make AARP readers aware of my husband, Michael Connolly's, latest book … but few are chosen: A Different Path to Coming of Age. I think it will be particularly appealing to those who remember what growing up in the 1950s was like. I am the one who actually encouraged Michael and his co-authors to write this book after listening to them talk so enthusiastically about how their seminary experience had positively changed their lives.
…but few are chosen is the story of three boys coming of age in the mid-1950’s. Growing up in working class Irish Catholic neighborhoods in the Northeastern United States, they are desperate to escape lives of loneliness, petty crime, and violence. At the age of thirteen, ready to enter high school they each come to the same life changing, and possibly life-saving decision–to enter a seminary and begin their journeys toward the priesthood.
The book chronicles Mike, John, and Ollie’s fears, frustrations, hopes, and dreams while they proceed on their very unique path to adulthood via St. John’s Atonement Seminary in Montour Falls, New York. There, the three meet, eventually become lifelong friends, and begin the transition to being successful and contributing members of society. Lives that would undoubtedly have ended poorly are turned around in the structured, orderly, caring, and predictable life of the seminary. For the first time the boys come to realize that life is more than just raised voices and clenched fists. Led by priests on the faculty they learn responsibility, restraint, patience, and concern for others. They develop determination without aggression, and apply their new-found abilities to study, sports, and relationships.
What they’re saying about …but few are chosen
Compelling, plain-spoken account of growing up in 1950’s America. Haunting and beautifully-written. William Klaber, author of The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell

I just finished The Nightingale (Hardcover) by Kristin Hannah. It about the French covert reistance to the NAZI take over of their Country.
Well written and well worth reading.

I'm now reading Above by Isla Morley. I sometimes wonder where authors get their ideas. The book is about a girl who is kidnapped & kept in a bomb shelter because Armaggeden (spelling?) is approaching. Can't wait for the end to find out if she ever gets out. Right now she's in there 6 yrs.
I finished reading Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind which was so intense I have to wait awhile before starting the 2nd book of the 3 book series. If you like scifi/fantasy this is the author.
