I finished Next Thing and just loved it. It was fun and just very touching. Now reading Even Cat Sitters Get The Blues by Blaize Clement. This has been a very good reading month for me. I've had quite a few books that I totally enjoyed.

Mary Higgins Clark - Where Are You Now. Another good entertaining novel from the Queen of Mystery!

Five more days and I can start reading in earnest! I've got a list a mile long this summer, so I'm trying to finish up the three books I'm partway through this week in order to be ready to start fresh next Monday! WOOHOO for summer!

I pretty much average a book every two days. I liked Escape much better than this last one. It was a lot of the same kind of story as Escape but it just seemed to be so deliberately told. Like it was some kind of slow narration. I'm now reading The Wilde Women by Paula Wall.

Just read Laura Ingalls Wilder Country (it's mostly photos though) and am now about three-quarters of the way through The Book of Lost Things (pretty nightmarish in some parts, I wasn't expecting that).

Randy Pausch has pancreatic cancer. It's the last lecture that he gave at his college. It's a very uplifting speech.

I think The Last Lecture should be required reading for most everyone. Its very inspiring.

Thanks. I am reading "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. I'm on page 59 and have cried about 3 times already.

"I Am A Mother" by Jane Clayson Johnson. So far it is quite inspirational and lovely.

The Hot Flash Club - Chills Out - by Nancy Thayer. (It's my first in this series, and am enjoying it, so I will try to nab the rest of the series. I didn't know it was a series or I'd have bought them in chronological order.)

I can't find the very first book The Hot Flash Club. I must have lent that out to someone, I'm thinking my sister. But I do have The Hot Flash Club Strikes Again and Hot Flash Holidays and I will gladly send them along.

Oh Mamie, Thank you! You are so sweet. I will return them to you once I've read them. And toss in a few extra for good measure, as a thank you for being so kind. I can see if the library or more likely the bookstore has the first one - no worries, this is just lovely of you. Does Kelly work for the post office? Lucky guy that he can mail stuff free. If you can handle a ton of swear words I can send you Sharon Osborne's fascinating, gritty, autobiography - if you haven't read it yet. Man she swears more than I do and that's saying a lot. LOL. ANyhow I just finished it this week and it was quite unique and I've read a lot of bio's in my time. Plus I'll see what other books I can add to the mix for ya. ETA - I'm going to email you my snail mail right now!

Don't worry about sending them back in any record time. I've read them and have plenty more. If there is anything that you'd like to read, let me know. I am more than happy to send some off. I just sent one to a reading buddy in Vermont.
