My daughter read that for a book club. Will have to borrow it from her.

I'm currently reading The art of racing in the rain, and listening to Stephen Kings 'Liseys story' in the car . I have become so sick & tired of radio! Next on my list is David Sadaris' Chipmunk seeks Squirrel

Loved it!!!

Joan Hess's Maggody, Arkansa series. In it is an inbred, loutish family called Buchanan, and I swear that I dated one of them!! ONCE!!
And of course the Pern series by Anne McCaffree, but don't like the ones by her son. Won't waste money on any more of his.
Dianne Mott Davidson's series about the chef/murder solving Goldy, several of those, which are all set in CO.
And there's several I re-read often, since I don't like most of the new ones, they are too harsh and violent.
There are lots of old classics, The Egg and I, Cheaper by the Dozen, all the ones of WW2 by Manning Coles, (I fell in love with Tommy Hambleton years ago), and two real classics by Louise Dickenson Rich, We Took To The Woods, and Happy The Land. Those I can read several times a year, and can remember lots of what she wrote about, living so far back in the hills.
The series by Carol Higgins Clark, daughter of Mary Higgings Clark, and to my mind a more readable author.
Just looking at my book cases with favorite older books soothes my soul, just as running my hands over piles of quilting fabric does!!!!!

I read a LOT and read fast, but in spite of remembering all the book, I love going over it again, like listening to favorite music over and over.

I buy most of my books at The Friends of the Library book store. When finished I donate them to the V.A. hospital.[/quote]

A very good idea. When I read something I don't want in my permanent book shelves, I donate it back to the library or to friends or a shut-in my woman's club hears about.

So far so good TootieAnn. I can tell there's going to be a twist in this novel. I'll let you know w/o giving away the ending!

Thanks for the heads up! When I read the synopsis I knew it was interesting! Only on my 3rd chapter!

The Power of a Whisper by Bill Hybels

My niece just had a book published in November so I asked for it for Christmas. I just started it, it's called Faery Tale, One Woman's Search for Enchantment in a Modern World by Signe Pike. She went all over the world researching the proof that there are Faeries.

My favorite is Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon. The whole series is great.
