Paige’s comments from the A bit of this and that group.

Hi Kate and others!
I read the "Book Thief" and enjoyed it but will not say I would pay for the movie. Movies are so expensive now a days!!
Yes I have a pile of books around my chair - books on my TBR pile and books just recently retriaved from the Library. I don't get much time anymore to just go to the Library and "browse" so I look at recommended books on this list, log onto the Library and then go pick them up when I get a email they are ready. I guess that just goes to show how "hectic" my life is now.

I have just started the book "Big Stone Gap" by Adriana Trigiani. It has good reviews.. interesting to me because I live in VA and have traveled to Wise Va. My next book to read is "The Orphan Train".

Hi All! I have been in a bit of a "mood" lately and cannot seem to read as often as usual. I finally read "Absolute Power" by Balducci. It was a pretty good thriller and had lots of twists and turns!!
I am now reading Maeve Binchy's "A Week in Winter" - fiction/romance. I liked her writing back in the 70's and still like her writing!

Oh! Ok thanks I will leave my light on. (Smile)

No Terry it was not. You know as I grow older my taste in reading changes. I have checked out "The Shining" to read also. I have this group and friends and Goodreads to thank for expanding my reading tastes! Thanks!!

Finished Dr Sleep today I really enjoyed it!

I am up to page 109 in "Dr Sleep" I am enjoying it . Sometimes I have to go back to the previous chapter to figure out whether they are talking about Dan or ?David and how the people with special powers relate to each other. I guess "Rubes" are regular people?

Should I read the "shining?" First?

Oh NO!! I would have killed the dog! ( not really just been awful mad). So what did you think of the book?

Hello, I am new to this group but had seen reviews of Dr. Sleep so I downloaded it last night and started reading it. Years ago Kings books were too scary for me... we will see...

I am now reading "The Circle" by Dave Eggers it is really good! It is fiction about a large company that developed software programs to track everything you do, buy and say. It promotes cameras located everywhere to see everything you do! Is this good for society or bad? While some may think this company a bit far fetched - I don't!! I worked for a company like this!! A real page turner!!

Here in the US - east coast it has now turned a bit warm again, about 70 degrees today. We are coming out of a week of rain and chilly weather so we are welcoming today's weather!

Gosh! I thought I was the only one up this early! Or are you on a different time zone? I am EST - east coast US. Those books are real thrillers!! I cannot read Steven King - too scary! I did order " Still Missing" from Amazon and will read it soon. Thanks

Kate wrote: "Hi Paige :)
We are buddies in the Fall/Autumn reading challenge in another group! You picked 'Violets of March' for me to read - yet to start! I think i am in the mood for a love story so will be ..."

Ah yes! Hi Kate glad you are enjoying those books! I get in moods where I read thrillers and then I tire of them and want to read a love story or a book with no "blood and guts". Do you go thru reading spells like that?

Hi All!
I will be glad to " chit chat " with you all! I live in Richmond VA. I am over 50 :-) and love to read cozy mysteries am thrillers an some times Lit Fiction. I have just finished reading "The Violets of March" great. Love story. I usually do not read love stories but this one was good. I am now reading an book for my Church Bookclub called "The Aviotors Wife". After that one I will get back to my favorite type of book "mysteries"The Aviator's Wife
