I love animal stories and this is a good one..I laughed and cried. Chosen By A Horse by Susan Richards The horse Susan Richards chose for rescue wouldn’t be corralled into her waiting trailer. Instead Lay Me Down, a former racehorse with a foal close on her heels, walked right up that ramp and into Susan’s life. This gentle creature—malnourished, plagued by pneumonia and an eye infection—had endured a rough road, but somehow her heart was still open and generous. It seemed fated that she would come into Susan’s paddock and teach her how to embrace the joys of life despite the dangers of living.

I finished Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. OMG it was so good. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it to everyone. Some parts were hard to read and I almost cried, but it was so good. It was a quick read too, even though it's not a little book. I loved it, and passed it along to my Grandmother to read.

I'm reading Bad Girl Creek by Joanne Mapson. It's just okay right now. It's not bad but it's not thrilling me either.

Just finished Laurie Notaro's first novel "There's a (slight) Chance I Might be Going to Hell: A Novel of Sewer Pipes, Pageant Queens, and Big Trouble." Fun, light and a good mid-winter read.

I'm reading A New Earth, by Ekhart Tolle and am quite amazed at how incredible this book is even though it was recommended by Oprah.

I didn't care too much for Bad Girl Creek. It wasn't bad but not great. I'm reading The Other Side of the Story by Marian Keyes now.

Just finished Nora Roberts - Blood Brothers, the first in the Sign of 7 trilogy. And it was WONDERFUL. Can't wait for to get my hands on the rest of it. I've been avoiding it cuz I thought it would be too dark, but it was great. NOBODY writes about relationships like she does - with a few exceptions. She's steak while everyone else is hamburger, IMHO.

I finished The Other Side of the Story last night while watching the Oscars. It wasn't my favorite Keyes' book but it was okay. I started reading The Secret Between Us by Barbara Delinsky.

Mame, I think you'll like the new Delinsky. It was really engrossing. Now, I'm going in a different direction and reading Stephen King's Duma Key.

Thx Mamie! It's on my list of books I must buy. I promised my friend I would read and return the last Harry Potter, Rowling book, so it's next on my must read list. I'll probably start it today or tomorrow. She lent the Rowling book to me at the same time she lent me the Golden Compass/Dark Materials trilogy, but I just haven't been interested enough to read it until now. I find the Harry Potter books too dark and darker with each book, but I guess I am looking forward to the story's conclusion.

I just finished Sue Grafton's latest, T is for Trespass. This one has her older neighbor (not sweet Henry, thank goodness, but grouchy Gus) in danger from a caregiver. Also deals with identity theft. For me it was a bit slower to get into than hers are normally (could have been me, though), but once I did it really kept my attention. The tone is getting a bit different in her stuff. In some ways better, but I think maybe some of the humor is missing.

I'm reading "The Secret Life of Bees", by Sue Monk Kidd. I'm really enjoying it so far. Can't wait to finish. I just finished Maeve Binchy's "Evening Class", "Tara Road, "Scarlet Feather" and "Quintens". I loved how she brought all the stories to an end in Quintens. I think she is a wonderful author, one of my favorites.

Finished Duma Key and all I can say is thank goodness it wasn't aliens in the ending. It was okay, not King's best work and rather wordy. I am now reading a wonderful book titled My Enemy's Cradle by Sara Young. It's about a young Jewish girl who takes the place of her cousin in a Lebersborn, after the girl kills herself to not have her baby there.

What I would like to see is somebody going into the BB house who practices what is in The New Earth book by Tolle. Think we can open a thread about that book if there is enough of us reading the book and taking the class?

I loved that one, Darrell. Which reminds me to make sure I add some more of his stuff to my reading stack....I heard it wasn't even his best. I'm having a difficult time deciding which one to read next. I have Three Cups of Tea and Water for Elephants from the library and can't decide which to start next.

Yes and Mamie, read Three Cups of Tea!!! Good non-fiction story. Action - adventure - drama. It's the only book I've ever read that yelled, "Movie movie movie" at me. And there has been some talk of a movie made from it. My opinion -- Tom Hanks = Greg. And . . . I am related to Greg! His mom and I are first cousins. Or Greg's maternal grandfather and my father were brothers. My last name made it onto page 45 of the book.
