Well I decided to start a thread in The Library section called In Depth Discussion. This will allow us to discuss books in detail without spoiling the ending for people who haven't read them yet.

Jasper, the Kentucky series actually starts out with a Texas Series, then goes into a Vegas series then ends with the Kentucky series. They are great books, there are 10 in all and good reads. I have them all. Well worth it and they are available at most all libraries. Check out Fern Michaels' Website for more info.

I'm reading Luanne Rice's new book, Light Of The Moon. I had been getting bored with her books but really liked the last one I read of hers so I'm hoping that I won't be disappointed again.

Heard on the Today Show this morning that a book called What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage is getting a lot of attention on the net. Sounds like a ripoff. I'm a little older and remember a movie called If a Man Answers based on the book by Richard Morris, where a rich socialite attempts to "train" her imperfect husband from a book on how to train dogs.

Actually anything by Scott Westerfeld right now. I just finished his series Peeps and Uglies and I am about to start on Midnighters.

Just finished The Kitchen Witch by Annette Blair

It was a breezy read but not well written by a long shot.

I have finished Stepehn King's latest, Duma Key. I found it quite readable, but different somehow. I think he used a lot of his experience after his near death accident several years ago, in parts of the book. A good read for these cold winter nights.

I've just begun the Charles M. Schulz biography Schulz and Peanuts. Why I'm risking disillusioning myself, I don't know, given some of the harsh reviews, but I am curious about the man who created my all-time favorite comic strip (Calvin & Hobbes is a very, very, very close second but Peanuts wins because it has the better soundtrack). The Walt Disney bio I read last year was at times something of a bummer but it also debunked some of the more vicious rumors about him so I guess I'm hoping this book will do likewise for Schulz. I've not yet worked up the courage to read about how L.Frank Baum was a racist because I know that will just crush me, Oz fan that I am. But I guess a book about him ought to be next on my to-read list of possibly-ruining-my-childhood biographies.

Calamity, I don't think you will be disillusioned by Schulz. He was a good Christian man. In fact, he was a Nazarene, which is similar to Baptist.

Calamity, I know what you mean. I've read a few biographies that have changed my views on people and that makes me sad.

T by Grafton. It was a good one - little bit different from her other ones.

I loved, loved The Reserve. It lived up to it's hype.

I'm reading Earthly Pleasures by Karen Neches. She's in one of my reading groups so I'm happy to be reading her book.

I finished Earthly Pleasures and what a joy it was to read! I laughed and I cried. I really recommend it.

I am now onto a thriller, Standing Still by Kelly Simmons.

I am enjoying it so far Mocha. I am anxiously waiting for The Darkness to become available at my library. I LOVE the Vampire Huntress series!
