What I'm Reading Right Now (7)

Blogoratti July 20, 2015

Quote of the day:
In the light, we read the inventions of others; in the darkness we invent our own stories.  
-Alberto Manguel


I am currently reading a book by English author Jeffrey Archer titled 'Only Time Will Tell'. I picked up this book to read on my way back from my mini trip last week and it has truly turned out to be a great page turner, and a fast moving one at that.

image: Amazon

 The book is a first in a series that tells the incredible story of a family across generations and the events that shaped their lives. The story of Harry Clifton which begins in 1920, and that of his family. He never knew his father-a dock worker, and he was told that he was killed in the war. Its a gripping tale of heartbreaks, secrets and triumph...

I'm more than halfway through and can say its been a great read so far. So tell me what books are you reading at the moment?

    This is next in line on my 'to read' list! I'm almost done with the current book I'm reading and will get to this one very soon. A friend of mine enjoyed it just as much and highly recommended it. I can't wait to get started.

    Great author! I believe he wrote, "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less", which I read in my 20s.
    Nice suggestion for a fiction!
    Have a Wonderful Day!

    Currently re-reading 'All The Light We Cannot See' by Anthony Doerr... very good read. Readying myself to read 'Go Set A Watchman' by Harper Lee.

    It is a long time since I read Jeffrey Archer's books, yet I always enjoyed them. I guess the gap through his incapacitation put his work out of my mind. I will look out for this book. Thanks.

    I'm reading the Berglauf Journal 2015. Have just found a book titled The Yellow Wind. It cost 1 euro. Can't remember author's name, but it's about the historical 'thing' involving Arabs and Jews. See how it goes . . .

    Yay!! You would love it. I've read books 1-4 in the series... waiting for the 5th.
    I just finished Sons of fortune also by Jeffery Archer. Yet to start a new book. May pause in fiction and pick up something inspirational.

    I am reading a (nonfiction ) history of the Americas by Jamake High water. It was written a couple of decades ago, but was well-researched and is quite lyrically written so it stands the test of time.

    It does sound interesting...another book for my "to read" list :)

    At the present time I am re-reading the true stories of the hardships of women on the westward journey across The American Frontier.

    I have lent this book to so many of my friends who then asked me if they could lend it to their friend...so forth and so on...that it took almost two years to have my book returned. Its dust jacket is now showing much wear and tear and it seems to have been read in a shower or the rain because it is also weather beaten :)) I am truly happy that so many wanted to read the diaries of these brave and courageous women and their heartaches as they crossed this great country. Things I never thought of...such as burying loved ones and their children wherever they died and having to leave their graves behind them as they moved on.

    The Title: Women's Diaries of The Westward Journey by Lillian Schlissel.
    copyright 1982...

    There are also photos included.

    Happy Reading...Jan

    Alice Hoffman is a strong writer, ties the story together well, and has many books published.

    I never really read 'books' anymore, which is embarrassing and terrible. I did go thru a period recently of trying to catch up on things, like Virginia Woolf and Faulkner.

    Now I try to keep up with all my New Yorker Magazines. It's tough...I have a pile of unread ones in the bedroom.

    Kudos to you for reading!
