I read Gate at the Stairs a few months ago; I did finish it but my synopsis is short- OK book about a nanny and a weird family LOL. I guess it wasn't very memorable for me heehee. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/234560-upcoming-fiction Nancy made a comment in the Readers and Reading group:

My sister and brother both like the Reacher novels; I tried one but not my cup of tea! I have quite a few books I'm waiting on- hope Santa brings me a B&N gift card instead of STUFF I don't need LOL. I did finish Lacuna- the last third is very good! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/236755-what-are-you-reading-now-finished-recently-from-11-7-2009-on Nancy made a comment in the Readers and Reading group:

I was going to stop until I read the reviews so I persevered- also, I purchased it and I usually get my books from the library LOL! I had an extra 15% off at B&N and I'm a member so get a big discount anyway. I bet I finish it tonight. The only book I can think of that I couldn't finish was the 100

Yes, I just melt the butetr, add some flour and stir it and then the milk and cheeses; yum- I love fattening mac/cheese. I made some delicious cranberry bars last night using a whole package of fresh cranberries.

I've read some Anne Tyler - Ladder of Years comes to mind (I liked it)and I think I thought Back When We Were Grownups was OK but I need to check my logs and sometimes, I reread a book later and like it! An old quirky book that I often recommended years ago was Beachcombing For A Shipwrecked Island by Joe Cooomer. I should pick that up aghain and also, I found Russo's Mohawk and started reading it again last night. Every couple of years I reread my favorite book by Wallace Stegner Angle of Repose. I just love that book! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51791296 Handle with Care (Hardcover) by Jodi Picoult
