I am still reading Maeve Bichy's Whitethorn Wood. I like her writing, but she always has so many characters to remember. Amazing enough she always manages to pull them all together and make an interesting story.
I listened to a book on tape Amanda's Wedding, but can't remember the author. Light and funny.

I didn't know Maeve Binch had a new one out! Thanks, Joy! I'll put it on reserve at the library now!

Well I finished 19 minutes and really liked it. I liked how the story unraveled.

Good morning!
I am in the middle of a book called With Love, Libby, by Roxanne Henke. It is the last book in a series. It is very good, although I get the feeling that it may be a tear jerker. The first book, After Anne, was a MAJOR tear jerker. I was reading it on the plane and bawling my eyes out. The flight attendant kept coming over to ask if I was okay. How embarassing. This one I am reading in the privacy of my home. lol
Take care!

I just started Bleachers by John Grisham. So far, so good! I've read a few others recently, but nothing was really worth mentioning!

Chris I read bleachers when it first came out.....I enjoyed the read

I am reading Star by Pamela Anderson. I went to high School with her so thought I should give her book a read even though it is probably racier than most I read. I picked the book up at a yard sale.


hugs Debbie
