I'm reading the latest Stephenie Plum 'Lean Mean Thirteen'. Darn, I sure wished they'd started making movies of her when Sandra Bullock was young enough to play her. To me Stephenie and Sandra are one in the same. And Monique would be a perfect Lula.

And The Rock as Ranger. I just finished reading The Life You Longed For by Maribeth Fischer about a woman who is charged with Munchausen by Proxy. It was a very emotional read. I am now starting More Than Friends by Barbara Delinsky.

Just finished Nora Roberts' new one, High Noon. It was good, but not one of her best. Didn't like where the villain came from (saying any more might give something away). Now I'm rereading Harry Potter 6 to get ready to read the last one this weekend. Unfortunately, I'm going out of town Saturday, and I think I'm leaving before the mail is delivered! I might need to venture to Barnes and Noble to get the book on CD to listen to while I drive to upstate New York.

THE Taylor, Reader! The book was just released July 11. It's an inspirational memoir, an easy read, lots of cute pictures, very honest even when that honesty shows the less than wholesome lifestyle of his younger years. I'm savoring it, though my inclination was to race right through it. He really shows his self-deprecating sense of humor. I have laughed out loud a couple times and teared up a few times, as well. His childhood was rough

Mak - Taylor was on the Chicago radio station promoting his book... he talked about Reuban Stoddard - that he knew him before Idol!! (other than that it was the normal fluff stuff!!)

He did a blitz of radio station interviews in a day, Reader. It's cool that you got to hear one. I wondered if he and Ruben had met since Idol. It's interesting that they had met previously! Yes Mamie, I preordered it last month. I knew you would know I'd be reading it!

Kat, I love the Ms. Julia series! It is fun to read a book when you know people who act just like the characters.

I just got through reading "Fool Me Once" by T. Lynn Ocean. It was a funny and charming story. "Professional mediator Carly Stone has had it with city life. Faced with heartbreaking betrayal, she can't wait to return to her Southern roots and the open arms of her mama and daddy. But when an ambitious land developer threatens the family business, Carly finds that she just can't avoid conflict any more. With equal parts mystery and Southern-fried fun, this is a summer read with spit, grit, and wit."

I just finished reading The Lakehouse by James Patterson. I'm not sure that I liked it, though. It was disturbing ...

I just finished With No One as Witness by Elizabeth George. I want more books like this! 700 plus pages, all packed full of stuff. Scotland Yard, serial killings, interesting people, unfinished business, etc. I could not put it down. I made the mistake of starting Beach Road right after, and I am soooo disappointed. Just about every other page of the 300 is a new chapter. The print is large and spaced out, I guess so it has more pages and looks like a book. I'm not interested in any of the characters, or the story. It feels like reading someone's idea of a movie based on a book that wasn't good to begin with. I haven't gotten past chapter 14 (page 43!) The other book I'm working on, and having fun reading, is Heat by Bill Buford. All about restaurant kitchens, chefs (Mario Batali), recipes and how they came about.

Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrams an echo hills mystery may interest some readers... dd loved the book, main character is 13 - but dd thought it did have "mature" themes, some language, and steroid use by the brother... It is a rather thick book - and it has a sequel that she also loved - On the back cover Stephen King is quoted as saying..." As with Harry Potter books, when stories are this good, terms such as "juvenile' or 'adult' really cease to have meaning; this is just one walloping good suspense yarn, and I couldnt put it down and go to bed until I'd finished"

I am rereading: Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus by Orson Scott Card. The basic premise is fascinating... how altering a few weeks in the life of one man (Columbus) could have changed the world we now know. It is science fiction but because most of the book is written from a historical vewpoint, it should appeal to a wider audience.
