    With Christmas season coming I enjoy rereading Debbie MaComber's angel books. They are three angels (Shirley, Goodness and Mercy) sent down from heaven to help three different people. I laugh at the things they do, the trouble that they get into and yet there is always a message. Otherwise I have been reading Rick Mofina's books - suspense and keeps me wondering what will happen next. I have been involved in alot of sewing for the holiday so have only been reading when I go to bed.

    The Art of Racing in the Rain. Great book especially if you are a dog lover. This is the 3rd time I have read it and I still chuckle each time. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

    I just finished "Proof of Heaven" by Mary Curran Hackett. It was good!

    BUT--what was great is the book called "Stay." I'd have to look up the author. 10/10!!

    Both books are firsts by new authors... terrific reads.

    n my classroom--we recently finished "Island" by Gordan Korman and the kids LOVED it. They ALL gave it a 10. Now we are reading one of my all time favorite kid's titles--Flush. :-)

    I've read quite a few of the books mentioned so some of us are on the same page. Has anyone read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon? The books are very long but they aren't long enough, if you know what I mean.

    Just now finished 'MockingJay' the 3rd and final book of the Hunger Games trilogy. Supposed to be YA novels, and was recommended to me by my grandson. I enjoyed all of them and happy to hear that a movie is in production for the first of the series. (will they put all 3 books into 1 movie??)

    Last week I finished the 'Valley of the Horses'.

    Gotta mention that I read with my ears ...books on CD while I'm sewing/quilting etc. I feel so guilty if I just sit and read a book, knowing that I have so many things to get done, especially since I spend way too much time on the computer!

    I loved the Outlander series. Just finished one last night called Conviction by Patterson. I couldn't quit crying, and I never cry - maybe twice a year. It's about 4 or 5 years old,but so good.

    I just finished The Sisters Brothers, a novel of the old West by Patrick DeWitt -- wierd, funny, disturbing

    Also Good Harbor, by Anita Diamant (also read her The Red Tent some years ago -- fabulous).

    Just found the Elm Creek Quilters series -- I dashed through two of them in three days -- must look for more!
