I have had a slow reading month. Picked up "Wolf Hall" by Hilary Mantel. I am still on a Tudor streak.

I need something good to read at the beach this year. Last year I read the 50 Shades series and haven't been able to read a book since.

If you enjoyed Shades (I did, tho I have a few points of contention with it) there's another series you might enjoy - the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day. Also sexy, but dare I say better written.

Of you liked 50 Shades there is a better series "This Man", "Beneath this Man", This Man confessed" by jodi ellen. This is a love story from start to finish. Your whole world stops for these books. Enjoy!

I've been reading mysteries, detective novels, and also mysteries involving lawyers. I don't like gore, and read all the romantic novels I wanted when I was younger. I do like Danielle Steele and Kathryn Woodiwiss novels, I have read some Kathy Reichs "Bones" novels, too. I have tried to read some non-fiction but have trouble getting through most of it.

Crusoe's Daughter by Jane Gardam -- love her character Polly Flint! Here's a review from a while back: http://www.nytimes.com/1986/04/27/books/polly-came-through.html

Also taking a long time finishing a memoir called Mother, Daughter, Me by Katie Hafner -- I prefer fiction but a friend lent me this book and it's very compelling for any one who grew up with an alcoholic mother or some one in the sandwich generation of an aging parent plus a child at home -- here's a review: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/04/garden/mother-daughter-me-a-feel-good-experiment-that-wasnt.html?_r=0

"The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. I've already read it once, and now I'm reading it to a friend! I'm also reading his book "Looking For Alaska", but I stopped and I'm gonna start reading it again later for my friend, since she likes TFIOS so much!!

From Lesley Lokko, an outstanding new voice in women's fiction, comes a story of family, love, grief, and power.

In this sweeping family saga, Amber Sall has the world on a platter---everything a girl could ever want. She has a handsome, powerbroker father, an older brother she adores, scads of money, and two best friends, Becky and Madeline. But none of that satisfies her lifelong desire to win her father's love, and for success in a career on the basis of her own talents, not her family's power and money. Watching her beloved brother fail both tests only makes Amber more determined to succeed. Through the decades, she and Becky and Madeline need each other's support through the best and the worst that women can experience, but can their friendship survive?

Max Sall, Amber's father, is a distant, self-made man, whose lust for power comes from his tragic childhood. He drove Amber's society mother to alcoholism by openly keeping a mistress in Rome. His daughter with that mistress, Paola Rossi, is spoiled by her mother. She grows up to be a beautiful, glamorous member of the international jet set, yet she is still envious of everything Amber has, and determined to do what her mother never could: get a man to marry her. But when Paola finally marries, the result is more disastrous than she ever could have dreamed.

Moving easily from London to Africa, Bosnia to New York, Saffron Skies is an unforgettable story of wealth, ambition, family, friendship, passion, loyalty, and betrayal."

Game of thrones series is awesome. Also The Outlander series will consume your life and is soon to be a Starz series. It's by Diana gabaldon. There's a whole almost cult following of Jamie and Claire! A good suspense, murder mystery is The Gone Girl. Yes, I read a lot. Being a night shift nurse is either feast or famine so I try to feed my brain and not my stomach! ???„
