Through A Glass Darkly by Karleen Koen. It's a wonderful eighteenth century saga set in England and France. I am really enjoying it.

Marysafan, how did you like Oh My Stars? I read it a few weeks ago and have enjoyed most of her work.

Has anyone read Sammys Hill by Kristen Gore (Al's daughter)? I read it last summer and laughed out loud more than once. She also had a 2nd book, Sammys House. I believe she has done some comedy writing for tv.

LOL Ladytex!

I finished The Track Of The Cat and I really enjoyed it. This heroine is a girl after my own heart. She is an animal activist and to h*ll with the greedy thoughtless people. I keep thinking how did I miss this series. Now starting the next in the series A Superior Death.

In The Woods by Tana French. It's her debut thriller and the book was a finalist for one of the major mystery awards (Edgar).

I'm just starting "World without End", the sequel to "Pillars of the Earth", by Ken Follet. Anyone have anything to say about this book?

I'm listening to it (all 48 hours), and so far I like it. :-) Its structure is similar to Pillars, but I'm finding it more interesting. Not sure if that's because of the storyline or because I'm listening rather than reading.

I just bought another batch of books yesterday after my doc apt, it's fun choosing what I'm going to read next from the pile on my nightstand. :-) It's been a miserable, long week, cuz I ran out of reading material last weekend, and I was stuck, sick in the house. (Still stuck, still sick, but relieved to have stuff to read again.)
I think it might be the Secret Life of Bees, (cuz I've heard some of you discussing it here), or a Debbie Macomber novel... or Nicholas Sparks' The Choice, etc etc :-)

Mameblanche -- I cannot imagine being stuck sick without a book -- for five minutes let alone that long! I hope you feel better soon. I loved the Secret Life of Bees. Let us know what you think!

I loved Secret Life too. I am looking forward to the film. It's got a great cast.

I am never without books. I have to have at least 30 waiting in the wings to pick from.

Libshea & Mamie, I usually have about a half dozen on my bedside table after each shopping spree. Thank heaven's for my 10% bookstore membership discounts and the extra coupons they mail and email me! I usually save the price of a book, once all the discounts are added up. (Or that's the story I tell dh, and I'm sticking to it. LOL)

Finished the Tillman book and all I can say is WOW! It was a lot to absorb. The cover-up of his death was incredible.

On to reading The Woods by Harlan Coben.

OMG..I have to find those authors now...thank you Pamplemousse!

I am starting my third book in the Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series. Ill Wind is set in Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park. I recommend this series for any one who likes the light mysteries like those written by Sue Grafton, J A Jance or Tony Hillerman.

Pample & SG, I highly recommend Lawrence Block's Bernie Rhodenbarr 'Burglar' Series of mysteries. They are the lightest of mysteries and they are completely hilarious. About 20 years ago that series of books got me through one of the darkest summers of my life. I can't recommend them highly enough...

I read The Woods this summer, Mamie, and thought it was one of his best. I just finished another by him not too long ago and it was not believable enough for me to enjoy. I think it was Just One Look.

The English Department head recently gave me Water for Elephants. I told her it better not make me cry as much as My Sister's Keeper, which was her last recommendation, did!

What I am actually reading right now is Twilight. It's really popular at my high school

You and I will have to discuss Twilight.

Water for Elephants is a good read. I cried at the end but then you know me, I cry at everything.

This is only the second Coben book that I've read. I can't remember now what the other one was called but it has a few of the same characters as this one. It's really good.
