I just started A Touch Of Lemmon: A Tribute To My Father by Chris Lemmon. It's wonderful! It's so great to read a Hollywood story that is filled with such love and admiration for the parent.

It really isn't, Mame. You can just read the love between this father and son. I am glad that I wasn't disappointed because I adore Jack Lemmon.

Mames, I was teasing about the lemon joke... I am quite looking forward to getting my mitts on that book. I remember seeing Chris Lemmon in a tv show too.

Mames I haven't had time to go to the bookstore, but it's first on my list. Hey, a cool thing happened today... One of the gals I work with noticed my Nora Roberts book, and it turns out she loves Nora too. So we chatted about our other fave authors for a bit. She asked me if I like J.D.Robb, Roberts pseudonym for her mysteries, and I said NOPE, I only read them when I am desperate for a Robers fix, and I'm waiting for her next book. LOL.

I'm reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. It's a tough subject ( a high school shooting rampage), but it's told by different perspectives. Very engrossing.

I loved My Sister's Keeper. The ending really got to me. I'll let you know how this one is.

Just finished Deep Storm by Lincoln Child. It was good. He mixes science, adventure and a little spooky twist. Starting Absolute Fear by Lisa Jackson. I'll let you know if it is as good as the reviews.

I'm reading What The Dead Know by Laura Lippman. It's about a woman who comes back into town saying that she was the youngest of two sisters who were kidnapped 30 years before and she's witness to her older sister's murder. It's good so far.

I just started Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill (who is Stephen King's son) and I'm already getting a little scared!

I'm reading book 3 of a series by Elizabeth Lowell. So far I've read Amber Beach and Jade Island. I'm more than halfway thru Pearl Cove and the next book is Midnight in Ruby Bayou. There are two brothers left after that one, so I'm wondering if she's finished ...

Dang...you guys keep recommending these good books and I am getting behind. Finished Hide by Lisa Gardner. She always writes an entertaining story and has an interesting twist. Now I am into Breath of Scandal by Sandra Brown. Seems like her heroines have unsurmountable tragedies but overcome all by the end of the book. It better be the same in this book cause this gal is really getting treated terrible!

A couple of weeks ago, I finished the best novel I've read in a long time - Barbara Delinksy's Family Tree. I highly recommend it. Currently reading Celine Dion's autobiography which - bless her heart - is kinda boring, cuz she experienced an idyllically happy childhood and a glowing career. That's one lucky lady.

So glad you enjoyed it Mamie. I loved it and it's stayed with me, if you know what I mean. I breeze through a lot of novels, (although not nearly as many as you do ) and they blur together sometimes.

Sandra Brown has become one of my new favorite writers. I went to a second hand book store and bought some of her older books to read.

I just finished "Envy" by Sandra Brown. Excellant book. I think it's an older book but one of the best books I've ever read. Held me to the very last page.

I just finished The Beach Club by Elin Hilderbrand and it just didn't do anything for me. I loved her book, The Blue Bistro but this one just made me want to flip through to see what happened already.
