Has anyone read Heather Graham? I was sent her newest as a consolation prize for losing out on Finders Keepers (nice try, Ted, but BWAHAHAHAHA!), and I was wondering if her books are decent.

I'm reading Orwell too at the moment. Books and Cigarettes, essays. So far I really like the one about working in a bookstore. He spoiled my fantasy but of well, he did it too well for me to take it the wrong way.
I love his writing.I've read "Six Years" by Coben. It was OK but nothing memorable.
Just finished The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. What an amazing fantasy! I can't wait to start the next one.
Just finished Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects. Starting The Shining.
Today I am going to pick up from my library:
The girl on the train by Hawkins, Paula,
Motive by Kellerman, Jonathan,
The cemetery boys by Brewer, Heather

Girl on the Train is SO good!!
Changed my mind from The Shining to Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.

Yes, also read the bookstore one. So true what he said
Almost forgot: I've been on/off reading David Cronenberg's Consumed. It's strange how, in the beginning, this resembles his movies (slow). But hopefully, in the end it turns out to be as disturbingly great as most of his movies.
And wouldn't you know that as soon as I picked up the above, in the mail is The Mourning Bells by Christine Trent, the fourth of her Victorian undertaker series.
I had to give up, temporarily, The Fifth Heart. I'm starting a reread of The Hobbit.

Is it wrong if I post my review blog post in here? I could post the entire review in here, but I kind of wanted to now who reads it and how, for audience studying purposes (academic)
No sorry, any posts taken directly from your blog will need to be posted in the Self Promotion area of the MB and will have to be a link (to your blog/site) only.
I'm not sure how you will gather data on who reads it.
Was there an issue with the book, or just that your desire to re read the Hobbit was a great call?
Well, who clicks it... And yes, it makes sense that there exists a self promotion thread. It avoids people spamming these threads with links.
finished Farewell, My Lovely, good story, now it is on to The High Window, Philip Marlowe #3
A little of both, actually. I read 70+ pages of Fifth Heart then just couldn't follow the story any more. I've been especially tired recently and I'm sure that had something to do with it. Simmons' historical fiction takes some concentration and I just was too distracted to continue. The Hobbit is a fun and easy read.

All You Zombies - Robert Heinlein (1959)
This is a short story I found in an science fiction anthology. What a freaky story (especially for 1959). I saw a movie called Predestination with Ethan Hawke that was based on this story. I liked the movie so I went looking for the story and found it in an anthology (that I had on my bookshelf) called "The Arbor House Treasury of Modern Science Fiction." If you like a good mind bending, time travel, hermaphrodite story, this is for you. Highly recommended.

Thank you! The mind and spirit have to connect with a book. It may come in time. Enjoy the Hobbit.
