[Mamie316 said: Kat, she's got some good ones. A few of them, I wasn't in love with, but for the most part, good books. My Sister's Keeper is my favorite.]

Mamie, My Sister's Keeper has been my favorite so far, too. I cried at the end of that book, and it's been a long time since I've cried reading a book. I've read Nineteen Minutes, My Sister's Keeper, Salem Falls, Plain Truth, Change of Heart, Vanishing Acts, Second Glance, Perfect Match and Keeping Faith. I'm hoping to get her other books read soon.

Kat, I've read all of those except Salem Falls.

Finished The Lace Reader and absolutely loved it! I had no idea where it was heading and I was quite surprised. Good read.

My daughter went and got Breaking Dawn this morning and is reading that. I don't know if I'm going to wait until she's done and start it or start another book in the meantime.

I finished Eclipse last night. Now I have to wait for my wife to finish Breaking Dawn so I can read it.

Looking forward to how it ends.

The House of Spirits - Isabelle Allende. I'm enjoying it (especially the surrealistic aspects that Spanish writers do so well), but no way in heck am I having my AP class read this!! Our town is wayyyyy too conservative to deal w/all the sex. (I might, however, drop a few hints that it would be a good "outside" read if they like surrealism.)

Really? I started last night and got about half way...I couldn't put it down. I had to force myself to go to bed at a reasonable hour. I think its the best book of the series.

Rereading Seduction by Catherine Gildiner (for my Bookclub tomorrow night). The book was my suggestion for the group. But it's a big book and I only started it this morning. Oy!

Nick, you are in the minority! I've read so many reviews from people who are disappointed.

that's ok. I mean I never guessed the turn the book would take....but I have no qualms being in the minority.

I'm glad that you like it. It just seems like some of the scenes are too out there for me. The birth scene was way over the top. I think my favorite character is Jacob and the imprinting thing is rather strange.

I know that she wrote the book for young teens and wants everything to end up a certain way.

I read Elizabeth Berg's "Rang of Motion" on breaks from the intensity of "We were Soldiers Once...and Young." I enjoyed it and appreciated the ending.

I finished "We Were Soldiers Once...and Young" this morning and finally allowed myself to let go of the tears I had been holding back. Hubby comes in and sees me crying with the box of Kleenex in my lap and says, "It's just a book."

I look up and he sees my face and adds..."Not this time though huh." and walks away leaving me to cope with my grief for all the lost young men and the hurting families. Tough tough read...but for me a must read. I was pleased to learn that there is a sequel coming out this month called, "We Were Soldiers...still."

I am looking forward to starting "Angry Housewives Eating Bonbons" later today...or perhaps tomorrow.

yeah...some of the scenes are out there. I think that's maybe why I'm liking it.

Based on y'all's reviews here, I picked up Twilight this weekend. Read about half of it in one sitting, then I had to force myself to grade online homework. Finished it last night before bed, so I need to stop by B&N and pick up the others.

I picked up The Memory of Water by Karen White yesterday and finished it last night. Absolutely loved it!

I'm going to start Made in the USA by Billie Letts next.

Mamie, I have my eye on that Billie Letts book too! I am going to pick up "The Hoot and Holler Opening Soon" one on my next trip to the library...then I will be all set for the new one.

LOVING "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" by Lorna Landvik. I'm having a lot trouble putting it down (which means that dishes are piling up in the sink!...but I'm trying to blame that on my cut finger...so far successfully I might add).

It's like "Saving Graces" only more so.
