I agree with Mamie - My Sister's Keeper was my favorite by Jodi Picoult. Interesting ending.

I just started My Best Friend's Girl by Dorothy Koomson.

Maybe you can help me out (or anyone) I am almost at the end of "Voyager" and it's just past the part with Ishmael. Can someone explain to me how Joe Abernathy and Geillis are connected and what the whole "drug" thing is with Margaret Campbell and Ishmael and how Margaret turned into Bouassa and Bree? (I mean what exactly happened there?). I am really confused as to this whole part of the book.

I finished "Snow Falling on Cedars" this morning and have to say that it is one of the best books that I have read lately. It will be with me for a long, long while. I highly recommend it.

I am re-reading my books by Nevada Barr, I just bought the beginning of the Anna Piegon series - didn't realize that I was missing some. they are murder mysteries and I enjoy them because they are all set in the National Parks, Anna is a ranger.

Mary I have that book, but I've never read it. I think I will do that one after this series.

Hey, Escapee, it's been a while since I read the book; do you know what chapters they're in? I pulled out my book to look through it, but it's kinda long. Isn't Geillis the one from the future?

Escapee - Margaret after going a little doolally was used by Ishmael as an oracle in voodoo, I beleive Bouassa was someone she channelled, how she spoke like Bree I don't know, I think it just happened. As for Joe, I always got the impression he was related in some way to the Abernathy that Geillis was married to. Not sure if it was a stated fact though. It's been a while since I read these as well. I plan on sitting on my deck this summer and rereading them.

I've just started William Shatner's autobiography, Up Till Now. He's pretty darned funny!

Escapee -- Jasper's got it. Margaret was channeling the others. That's how Bree's voice was heard. It was pretty much like a seance.

Joe and Geillis aren't really connected except that it was her skull that was brought in with the bones when Claire was talking to Joe (remember Joe asked Claire how this one had died, Claire felt the skull and replied w/blunt trauma - then fast forward to the cave where Geillis was killed). I don't think she was married to any relation of Joe's though.

Voyager is tied w/Outlander as my favorite of the series- I'll have to re-read it again soon. :-)

I never made the connection between the skulls! That's too cool. I picked up Drums of Autumn yesterday, and started it last night.

There are so many layers to these books! I've re-read and listened to them all between 3 and 5 times (except the latest - only twice so far), and every time I find something new. I've got a huge pile to read this summer, but next summer, I'm planning a Gabaldon total re-read in preparation for the newest book that will (hopefully) be out near the end of the year! (It's titled "An Echo of Bone.")

Finished Bill Shatner's book. He had an unique way of telling his story.

I am now going to read The Writing Class by Jincy Willett.

Mine, too, Teach! A summer re-read is also a great idea!

I'm a regular at Ladies of Lallybroch, and there isn't just ONE more book - there are TWO!! I heard this from Diana's lips last summer at the Fergus Highland games. Believe me, the cheering that occurred when she said it could be heard around the fair! :-)

Have you read the Lord John books, too? I like Brotherhood of the Blade better than the Private Matter, but they're both at least one way of getting her writing in between the big books. Ok --I'll get off my soap box now. Bet you'd never guess she's my favorite author! LOL

On topic - I started Three Cups of Tea today. Loving it so far!

I stayed up to finish The Writing Class last night. It was a great read, full of mystery, wit and humor.

I'm starting Swimming Lessons by Mary Alice Monroe next.

Over the weekend I read The Bridges of Madison County. I love the movie, but had never read the book. The book was even better than the movie. I loved it. Very sexy and romantic.
