February is another busy reading group month for me. Even though I have read three of the books before I decided to reread both The Night Circus and Song of Solomon. In fact, I am so happy with that decision that I might also reread An American Marriage.

What are your groups reading? Have you discussed or read any of these books?
Another interesting group of book. I hope to at least read night circus this year.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do too!
DeleteI have read a few of your authors, Peony in Love by Lisa See, Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehesi Coates and quite a few by Toni Morrison who I really like.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your readings.
All good ones! I am so curious about The Water-Dancer.
DeleteI've read both The Night Circus and An American Marriage. I enjoyed both novels.
ReplyDeleteI have The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See in my 'tbr' stack.
Thanks for your report, Lisa. I just visited your blog today and noticed that you have not posted much lately. I hope you are well.
DeleteThank you for your thoughts... CRPS flare up, but am hoping to post a couple of book reviews soon.
DeleteSorry you are suffering. Feel better soon and I will look forward to your reviews.
DeleteYou have an interesting month of reading ahead of you. I've read a couple of those and would like to read Night Circus. Someday maybe...
ReplyDeleteWishing you happy reading somedays!
DeleteI have only tried The Night Circus, in audio. But I thought the narrator's voice sounded way too old for the characters, so I ended up DNFing it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all these
Well with an inappropriate narrator I don't blame you. It is really a lovely story though.
DeleteThe Night Circus cover is beautiful! I didn't know Coates wrote fiction, is this his first? I have read his non-fiction.
ReplyDeleteIt is also a beautiful story. Yes, this is Coates's first fiction.
DeleteI finally got my hands on a copy of The Night Circus and plan to read it ASAP!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you!
DeleteLike you, I don't often reread books, but at times I think it can be really good to return to a favorite from long ago. You can pick up on things you didn't the first time around. Good for you to re-finish The Night Circus & Song of Solomon .... these are worthy re-reads!
ReplyDeleteThey were definitely worthy re-reads. Also as a writer I can pay more attention to how the author did what she did.
DeleteI read The Night Circus and The Water Dancer. I loved the first, liked the latter a great deal, though I found it slow going.
ReplyDeleteHi Carmen! It is always lovely to have a visit from you. I just started The Water Dancer last night. In 27 pages I have learned that it is a book that makes me take my time.
DeleteIt's been ages since I read a Lisa See book. I've loved those few I read in the past. I need to revisit her books. Loved Night Circus and all the other books are on my list to read.
ReplyDeleteIn one of my reading groups we have many Lisa See fans, so we always read her latest when she has a new one. I like her too!
DeleteI've read all except the Lisa See and T. Coates books - they are on my list though.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those on your list are good, worthy reads.
DeleteI'm real curious about your opinion on The Night Circus. Were currently reading the Winternight Trilogy with my bookclub :)
ReplyDeleteMy opinion on The Night Circus is 5 stars, thumbs totally up. My review after the first reading is here: https://keepthewisdom.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-night-circus.html. Then I read it again and found it even more magical and true.
