Sweet Life by Mia King I got an email from this author this morning saying that I won a gift basket from her. I can't wait to see what's in it. I know it's books and the author lives in Hawaii so it's supposed to be island treats as well.

My daughter brought me a book to read. I'm a tv person, hate to read because I have this problem. Once I start a book I do not like to stop reading until I'm done. Dinner be damned, I'm finishing the book! But we had a wind storm, cable went out, I grabbed the book. Stayed up all night to finish it and it was one of the best books I've read. Hope some have or will read it. My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult

Roxi -- My Sister's Keeper was the first book that I read by that author. I couldn't put it down, either. In the end I sobbed and sobbed! I have read many of her books since, but so far none have compared. I am currently reading Where Memories Lie by Deborah Crombie. It's her 12th in a series featuring two Scotland Yard detectives. Love them.

My Sister's Keeper is my very favorite Picoult book. I did not see the ending coming and needed about a whole box of kleenex afterwards! I'm reading Just Breathe by Susan Wiggs.

For some reason, I pulled out my Left Behind books and started reading them again. On Assassins right now. I'm sure ADD will kick in again and I will change off.

Away by Amy Bloom. I know a few of you have mentioned reading this. It just so happens that it's our book club choice for October, and the night before our get together, Amy Bloom is going to be at a local bookstore for a reading and signing!

I just ordered The Other Queen by Phillipa Gregory, it sounds really good for those who liked The Other Boleyn Girl.

I loved Away. I hope you like it too. I enjoyed The Other Boleyn Girl. I read another of her books but I can't remember which one now. I know I enjoyed it but not as much. I'm reading some light-hearted chick lit now, That's Amore by Wendy Markham.

Getting ready to read the constant princess by Philippa Gregory. Hey, where do her books start? Are they a series or does it not matter?

Escapee, what I usually do is I check the publication dates and try to read them in that order. I have to admit, that I didn't like The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory... basically I forced myself to finish it.

"The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society": Letters about World War II Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrow's novel "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society" is the delightful story, told through letters, of a group of women on German-occupied Guernsey Island in World War II, and how their love of books and reading got them through the war. I am loving this book!!
