I am reading Doctor Sleep now and loving it. I’ve also got We Are Water, hoping to start it next week. I ADORE Wally Lamb. But I am also biased because he sets his books in the area where I grew up, and has taught at UConn (my alma mater). 🙂

I’ve never read any Pat Conroy, but I have a copy of The Death of Santini and keep hearing great things so I think I’m going to try to get to it soon.

I hated Donna Tartt’s second novel and worried that she would prove to be a one-shot wonder (in which case, woe!). But my fears were ungrounded and I liked The Goldfinch a lot.

I bought it from B&N’s site because they are offering a signed copy! I am currently reading Serena by Ron Rash…the movie just wrapped with Jennifer Lawrence as the title role. And I’m looking forward to reading Burial Rights! Been hearing a lot about it lately.
