Some of you might know, But along with being a painter, I help manage a indi bookstore!  My special is YA.. LOVE IT!  So right now I'm reading, Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers.  Love the tag line: Why be the Sheep when you can be the Wolf?!  I'm also reading for our young bookgroup, Same Sun Here by Silas House and Neela Vaswani and for our adult bookclub, Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness.  !!! Love my books.

"The Rich and the Rest of Us" by Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornell West...and important book about poverty in America!

Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" is one of those books I have always known about but had not yet read.  It had been mentioned to me over the past several weeks, so I finally got around to reading it.  For some reason I had it in my head that it was a book that fell into the "should read" category rather than the "want to read" category.

I could not have been more wrong.  The characters are beautifully crafted, and the story is compelling.  The description of the theocratic government's rise to power shows how edging over one line...and then another...and then another makes even the implausible possible.

All too close for comfort with the challenges to women's rights happening across this country every single day.  Highly recommended.

thanks for the heads up on the pbs show..

Just started on the hunger games trilogy but I just finished a beautiful book that I think every reader should see..."The Invention of Hugo Cabret" it is a story told in words and pictures and is one of the most amazing books..the art work is wonderful and the story is warming...I haven't seen the movie yet but I will and wonder if it will even come close to being the experience the book is....
