In reply to Amy @ Read a Latte. Aren't laugh out loud books wonderful?! I'm reading one right now- How Hard Can It Be? by Allison Pearson and I am loving it. Of course, now I'm going to add Priestdaddy to my TBR!

I haven’t read it yet but Social Creature is high on my list for June so I’m voting on that one. I’m currently reading Priestdaddy, by Patricia Lockwood, and LOVING it. It’s so funny I was laughing out loud on the train while I read this morning, which is RARE for me!

The Social Creature’s cover looks pretty intense. Now I’m a bit curious about it: go for it. Right now I’m reading A Place for Us which is a domestic debut novel about a muslim American family … hmm we will see

That book had so much packed into it, I’m not sure it could be ‘completely’ reviewed. I loved it.

I’ve heard good things about Girl Last Seen. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen reviews from bloggers I know but can’t remember who.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. Curses, I'm torn between the two. I'll finish what I'm reading now and see which calls to me. Completely scientific, I know.

In reply to Nicole (Read. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.). Too funny, that's kind of what Sarah at Sarah's Book Shelves said- she's not sure about it and needs another opinion. Seems as if it's between that and We Are Gathered!

I vote for Social Creature! I just finished reading it myself and I’m still working out what I think about it – there’s a definite love/hate thing going on with this book.

As per usual, I’m not reading anything new.

I did just finish Everything I Never Told You for my TBR challenge. Posted it on the blog but I didn’t come close to really expressing my thoughts. Too much, too much.

I have book club tomorrow night so I’ll get a new reading assignment then. Hoping for A Gentleman in Moscow, but the one whose turn it is to pick is sensitive to the fact that she can’t find any inexpensive copies avaiable. And the library holds are crazy and they’re mostly e-books. I know you loved that one.

And I just downloaded Girl Last Seen in her Thirties. Not sure when I’ll get to it but it appeals to me seeing as how I turn 50 at the end of this year.

Well, Social Creature is dark and twisty and you’ll probably want to put it down several times in the first half. Keep going. It will be worth it. I will say you really need to be in the mood for a very weird sort of story.

I’m really curious about We Are Gathered, so I vote for it. You can vet it for me!

In reply to Lauren.

I know- I didn’t like either, but decided to ignore the provocative nature and give the book a try. So far, it’s good.

You have completely piqued my interest with the words “craziest assignment”. Was it a Shelf Awareness assignment? I also don’t know that series. Is it mystery? Thriller? Isn’t it funny how we all find our niches in those genres? For me it’s Luoise Penny and Elizabeth George. Love their writing.
