Oh no...I have to take both books back the library unread. I can't renew online...guess there is a waiting list. So I will get back on it for both.

Did start Three Cups of Tea yesterday and was loving it. Both will get read in the next few months.

Hi there, I finished the "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd and I really liked it, I was somewhat surprised because I didn't care for the "Mermaid Chair". I thought this was beautifully written and I loved the ending.

Anniem, I read Bees first and loved it so I looked forward to Mermaid Chair and was disappointed in it.

I just finished "She Flew the Coop" by Michael Lee West and loved it!! Full of interesting and quirky characters set in Limoges, LA and good wins out in the end.

Finished the final Harry Potter book. And blubbered through the last bit of it. I am such a SUCK! LOL

Beach, I hadn't heard of that book. I'll have to check it out. I read her book, Mad Girls In Love, and really liked that one.

I'm reading When Day Breaks by Mary Jane Clark.

I just finished reading "America's Boy" by Wade Rouse...and I am standing right next to Lori on the bandwagon. What an incredible book! Laugh out funny...and terribly heartbreaking all at the same time.

I finished the Koontz book and even though some parts made me cringe, it was a very good book.

I'm reading Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella now and loving it!

Dragging my heels through The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon. Apparently the author won the Pullitzer prize for a previous book... I am NOT enjoying it, but I blew money on the hardcover so I feel obligated to my wallet to finish it. Not a fan of pot-boilers.

Loved, loved, loved Remember Me. So much fun.

Now, I'm reading Souvenir by Therese Fowler.

Still muddling through The Yiddish Policemens Union, but now that I'm in the last 3rd of the book, it's FINALLY picking up some steam and getting interesting. Geez.

Mictay, loved Between Sisters too.

Pippin, it is her new book and it's great fun.

I just finished reading Souvenir by Therese Fowler and was it a tear-jerker! Really good read.

Now, it's Mozart's Ghost by Julia Cameron.

I've just finished the latest John Grisham, "The Appeal." It's thoroughly depressing! Good, realistic, but depressing.

I just started Law of Love by Laura Esquivel last night. She wrote Like Water for Chocolate.

I'm already 1/2 way through it. It's a very different type of story (part Sci-Fi, part new age) that I am surprised that I even like it. But it's easy reading and like I already said, it's different, so I am enjoying it and will probably be done with it tonight.

Anniem, I loved The Secret Lives of Bees and was disappointed by The Mermaid Chair, also. I think it's because it's her second book and those never seem to compare with the first one.

I read some reviews of Law of Love on the internet and from what people wrote (I haven't read her first book yet) that it suffers from the same problem.

I'm reading Losing It by Valerie Bertinelli. I just started it so can't say much about it yet.

Ok. I finished Law Of Love this morning.

I enjoyed the first half, but the second half seemed like she was trying to write herself out of to many corners.

I finished Valerie Bertinelli's book and it was okay. Nothing earth shattering but I'm happy for her.

I won a book from Random House titled "My Liar" by Rachel Cline so I'm reading that now.

I'm reading JD Robb's Origin in Death... (JD ROBB is really a Nora Roberts pseudonym.) Not usually fan of her JD Robb stuff, but of the 2 or 3 I've read, this one is the best. Truly enjoying it.

I am just blown away when I read reviews on Amazon of "Three Cups of Tea". I'm not doing anything with my Doerring (Greg Mortenson-related / see page 45) blood except donating it -- so more people will have it flowing in their veins. Read it if you haven't already.
