Laura "Now that I know what " an Ana" refers to (an Anarerexic), I started over and now things are making sense. Definitely disturbing. " ]]> <![CDATA[Laura added 'Twisted Tree']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66459961 Twisted Tree (Hardcover) by Kent Meyers

“The novel is brimming with arresting descriptions, and the western setting is employed to surprising effect…. Meyers's small masterpiece deserves comparison to the work of Raymond Carver, Joy Williams and Peter Matthiessen.”

―Publisher’s Weekly, STARRED review

We are in the process of setting up a December book signing at Bookin' It with Mr. Meyers. I, personally, am a huge fan of his earlier book, The River Warren. ]]> <![CDATA[Laura added 'Whiskey Heart']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76213883 Whiskey Heart (American Fiction) by Rachel L.

Another enjoyable outing in the Ella Clah series with a closed case at the end, but personal issues left - no doubt - for the next book. ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Laura ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76502469 Nancy's review of Evans Above (Constable Evans Mysteries #1)
by Rhys Bowen

The Evans Evans mysteries of Rhys Bowen aren't the heavy mysteries that you usually read, but they are 100 persent delightful. ]]> <![CDATA[Laura added 'Behind Adobe Walls: The Hidden Homes and Gardens of Santa Fe and Taos']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76608553 to: Behind Adobe Walls: The Hidden Homes and Gardens of Santa Fe and Taos (Paperback) by Landt Dennis
Antoher visual treat. I keep this one handy as an antidote to Minnesota winters and my own bland home decor. ]]> <![CDATA[Laura added 'Huts, Havens and Hideaways']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76608306 to: Huts, Havens and Hideaways (Paperback) by Jo Denbury
I love little gems like this. Something to take me away visually and let me dream, dream, dream. It isn't really about reading per se, but I do love this book. ]]> <![CDATA[Laura added 'Notes Left Behind']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76588713 Notes Left Behind (Hardcover) by Brooke Desserich
