I want to read Dr. Sleep, but want to reread The Shining before I do. It's been decades since I read that book.
I'm planning on reading "Bad Girls" by M. William Phelps next.

Anne Neville as in Richard lll's wife?I've just finished "Anne Neville" by Amy License and Ann Rule's "Practice to Deceive". It's neither one of her best nor one of her worst books, but wasn't one of those books I couldn't put down. Now I've started "Words with Fiends (A Black Cat Bookshop Mystery)" by Ali Brandon, which is definitely light reading. I enjoyed her other two books.
What's Dr. Sleep about. Not kavirgen or whatever his name is?Finally! I picked up my copy of Dr. Sleep from the library! I told my husband that I will be MIA for a couple days...

Is he s young female virgin?I'm almost finished with a book called Unicorn Western. It's literally a western...but the marshal (the main character) has a magical unicorn instead of a horse. I had my reservations, but it's pretty well-written...
What was written in your book about the Golem?I went and got a Kindle, about 4 months ago, after swearing I would always read books the way they were meant to be read - by turning the paper pages.
Wow. I love my Kindle so much, and I've been reading more than I've ever read in my life.
I immediately ordered A Dance With Dragons, the 5th book in the George R. R. Martin series. I had read the first 4, and kept waiting for the 5th to come out in paperback, because the hardcover was so dang huge. So, on a Kindle, size didn't matter!! I inhaled it.
Then I read The Inferno - Dan Brown. Didn't really like it - more like a travelogue, and when he wasn't giving us a history lesson :doh3: , it was all chasing around. Not impressed.
I got Angel City, the 2nd book in a trilogy called The Angelus Series, about an epic battle between good (Michael the Archangel) and evil, down through the ages. Okay, I guess.
Wool, Shift, and Dust - by Hugh Howey. I saw that someone else on this thread was reading Wool. Sorry, can't remember who it was. This is a fantastic science fiction series, post-apocalyptic, but no zombies or vampires (thank God), and the characters are rich and wonderfully drawn. Howey is a gifted story-teller.
Doctor Sleep - Stephen King. Love it, loved it, loved it. The Shining is my favorite book of King's. Hated the movie, loved the book. So Doctor Sleep totally drew me in.
The Cuckoo's Calling - J.K. Rowling (who wrote Harry Potter, of course) Really, really good detective story
The Golem and The Jinni - by Helene Wecker. A mystical, spiritual and totally enchanting tale.
The Circle - by Dave Eggers. This book creeped me out so much. It's about a social media company (The Circle) and how this young woman becomes an employee and becomes drawn into their whole world of getting everyone involved with everyone else, and the loss of privacy that ensues. Very Orwellian/1984-ish. Very creepy, and made me think about all the time I spend on Facebook, and what people reveal when they tweet about their lives.
And I just finished a book called "Where'd You Go, Bernadette", by Maria Semple. This one I actually read in regular book form. It's wacky and charming and quirky and lovely. The author once wrote for Mad About You and Arrested Development.
So, there you have it. I look at this list and can't believe I've read all these in a matter of months
Next up on my Kindle - 2 DCI Banks books by Peter Robinson, and The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt. A friend of mine also loaned me the hardcover of John Grisham's new book, Sycamore Row. Haven't read Grisham in ages, so I'm looking forward to that!
