Was it a good strange?

I finished Sense and Sensibility & decided I wasn't quite done with Jane Austen, so I started Persuasion & am about halfway through it.
I'm currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I'm about halfway through and I'm really enjoying it so far. I recently heard that Zusak was making an appearance here in Cincinnati later this month - yay!

Just finished reading Betsy Small's Poems of AwakeningDuring a vacation at the beach I took the time to explore Betsy Small's Poems of Awakening, a collection of wonderfully poignant poems that will captivate the heart and soul.
The book is, as the title implies an "awakening". This anthology gives ownership to no particular religious or philosophical persuasion, rather it is a richly painted landscape created by an array of poets who design a sense of unity and harmony within themselves and a oneness with creation. As a reader each of us is invited to do the same; to explore our inner most desire for spiritual awakening and to touch that part of us that too often left unexplored; our authentic self.
Personally, for this reader, the two sections which held the most insight were; "A Deep Quiet-Stillness" and "Light and Healing and Renewal". Realizing how important it is to slow down long enough to enjoy life's experiences. An overall inspiring book that both poet lovers and novices can enjoy and find inspiration for having read.
Last night I finished Molly's Millions - Victoria Connelly. Now I am going back to read Sister - Rosamund Lupton.
Amazon has it out in paperback so I would assume it is also available in bookstores in paperback too.
If you go to Amazon you will note that they will go through Random House for the paperback...I guess they act as an intermediary...for Random House on thie book. Amazon takes your order, relays it and Random House sends you the book at an agreed upon price they offer Amazon users.

I liked the over all story but the writing could have been better in some parts. I don't whether it was the writer or poor editor. I am now working on the I Am Half-Sick of Shadows: A Flavia de Luce Novel.
I have read Borstal Girl - Eileen MacKenney and A Wayne in a Manger - Gervase Phinn. Now I am about to carry on reading Time Bomb - Jonathan Kellerman
Have just finished the immensely enjoyable A Redbird Christmas - Fannie Flagg. I am now about to embark on reading Private London - James Patterson.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I love Fannie Flagg and I never read this one...so I guess I'll pick it up sounds like a good one for this season.

Just started reading Awakening Inner Guru.This is an awesome book on spirituality and awakening our inner power. There are some wonderful insights about what and how our mind thinks, how to stop negative thinking and so on. Like it.
Now I am reading Wake.
I am trying to finish my goal of 40 so I figured I would read some YA's to get the job done!

Good Luck. I'm at 23 or my goal of 25 and I really don't think, unless I shut myself in the study and disconnect the phone that I'll hit 25 by Jan. 1st. Maybe 24...I didn't get my goal of A-Z near complete but will try again next year.
I did my A-Z last year. Not with the planned books but it got done. This year....not so much. My resoluition will be to make more ME time and READ!!!!
I do believe in miracles; face it life is a miracle and many of the everyday things we taken for granted...but I don't like it when folks play it up...make it unrealistic..does that make sense. Miracle happen everyday in quiet ways...all the splash that people engage in ruins them. I don't think I explained that too well..but maybe you'll get the idea.
