I'm currently reading The Pagan Stone by Nora Roberts. It's the third book in the Sign of Seven Trilogy. I really enjoy this cast of characters...and have fallen in love with Fox. lol...
Also, before I picked this book up, I had started reading A Good Woman by Danielle Steel. I haven't read a book by her in so long & this one came to me by accident because I didn't send back the card for Doubleday saying I didn't want the book. It actually has caught my interest. I figured I'd read it & maybe send it back anyway. It's a historical fiction/romance type book. Starts off with the main character losing her father & brother to the sinking of the Titanic.

Thanks.I enjoyed your description of Capote's "A Christmas Memory" as "wonderful." I know everyone who has read it so far feels the same.It is wonderful.Perfect really.I only wish more people would read it.There are a lot of us Goodreads people who have vouched for it.
I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't think it a marvelous read.Please don't be put off by the fact someone like Truman wrote it.If you don't like his life style,(drinking drugging)don't let that keep you from enjoying his talent.It's a pretty easy read and has a universal appeal.I feel stupid being so "preachy," but I think recommending this book is about the nicest thing I can do for the holiday.Best.

I'm about halfway through Elegance by Kathleen Tessaro. I discovered this author when I got one of her books through an arc giveaway - I really liked that book and this one is just as good so far.

Lisa, great!!!!! You will really love this book, I hope!!!! :-))) HIs other books are also wonderful.

Have a nice reading day

I was just kidding. Ken is another TNBBC member who always has something interesting to say.
You two seem to be cut from the same mold!

Almost done reading Living Dead In Dallas by Harris... second in the Sookie Series....
Then I am not sure if I want to jump into the third, or start my winter of Russian Authors....
Hmmmm....

We are 8 hours behind you or you are 8 hours ahead of us. We are on Pacific Standard Time. We never get snow where I am but its only 2 hours North of here to get to snow and skiing. Although its still very cold. Have a great day.

Finished Living Dead in Dallas and want to finish George Carlins "Brain Droppings" before I hop into Club Dead-- the third Sookie Book!!

Kelly, I wonder when I get up in the morning how many ppl have been on here to post loads of messages lol.


To Linda: I love King but it seems to me that his endings are usually a let down to the great work done earlier in the book. I LOVED the stand but the ending seemed very contrived.
To Donna: I agree with Paula I too liked City of Ember I think you will like it when you get there. I'm sorry to hear you are struggling with Eclipse - I'm tenatively stopped at New Moon but heard it gets better with Eclpise - maybe not based on what you said.
To Debby: Thank you for bringing up Mr. Magoo as Scrooge I thought I was the only one ;-p
To Angie: Glad to hear you are liking Neverwhere - I may be looking for more Neil Gaiman now that I'm reading Stardust.
To Catherine: I believe there are other in the series -- but to be honest I don't remember them as being worthwhile (Although I seem to recall Swiftly tilting planet as pretty good) - but it was VERY long ago - Probably 20 years -- blush I think my main problem is I liked the first so well the others could not compete.

She is an awesome writer. I am readin an american book called Harvesting the Heart by her and I met her a few months ago and she was awesome.



My fav's by her are Sisters Keeper, 19 minutes, The Pact and Perfect Match.


Joe - Preach away! I wouldn't have read some terrific books if it weren't for the groups here. I'm glad I was kind of pushed into reading books I never would have experienced w/out the push. (And ACMemory is one, BTW)
