Ladybug, we just might do that! We get so involved in the stories. I admire so much writers that can evoke such varied emotions. It sounds like you are in that coveted group.

Sea, I finished "We Need to Talk About Kevin" today. Intense. Gotta admit I cheated about halfway through and skipped to the back of the book (Stephen King hates it when I do that...lol) because I thought I knew where it was going (I was right.) I found out the movie is on Dvd and watched it after I'd finished the book. The film left out a lot of detail (don't they always) but dh liked it.
I recommend it, but it's definitely not light reading.

I'd sure agree there! About.. About Kevin!

As for my misspelling.. yikes.. I WAS just running out the door, but still.. I have no memory of spelling it that way.

No worries, Sea. I just wanted to be sure she could find it if she was searching for the author's name. :-)

There is some disconnect at times between my brain and my fingers..

The silly thing is I did remember the Leigh part, and the spelling, and zipped over to Amazon for the last name, but then messed up the first.

Really liked Dark Places, I'm waiting for Sharp Objects. She really has a way with words.

I'm reading If You Were Here by Jen Lancaster. I'm loving her pop references and snarkiness.

I am starting what i hope is a series by Miriam Monfredo set in the mid 1800's. Am I just not prepared to deal with modern life or what?!?

Finished Dog is my Copilot.. lots of great pictures and all about Pilots N Paws, a group of pilots of small planes who volunteer to move dogs around the country in order to put them in places where they will be saved/fostered/adopted.

(actually some of them have moved cats, snakes and other critters as well).

Very enjoyable.

Then I read a short book Confucious Cat Says by P.R. Mason.. which is just cute sayings by/about cats.. cover with a black cat sucked me in of course.

Now starting One Shot at Forever: A Small Town, An Unlikely Coach, and a Magical Baseball Season by Christ Ballard. Takes place in Macon, Illinois.

Starting: No Time for Goodbye - Linwood Barclay. I really enjoy his books, good thrillers. I liked A Secret Kept, not as much as Sarah's Key, but a good read.

I have a book to review that I am reading. It's titled Riding Fury Home. It's a memoir by Chana Wilson about her mother and her mother's fight with mental problems but it seems as if she was subjected to electric shocks because she had a relationship with a married woman and they were trying to "cure" her.

I just finished a book called "Summerland" by Elin Hilderbrand. It's the story of a girl killed in a car accident on graduation night, she was a Junior, and how the families involved cope with her death. It was really good read. It was book of the month on iBooks.

Re-reading The Book by M. Clifford because my AP kids are reading it this summer.

And one Yay for Kindle - I have no idea when this changed, but I can now annotate while reading on my netbook app. It is SO much easier than typing on my K3. Plus, I'll be able to pull up my notes/highlights with my school projector for class discussions. Win-Win!

I'm reading The Playdate by Louise Millar and loving it. It's got me on the edge of my seat, wondering who is bad or good.

I went to a book signing last night for Lisa Unger. She's written 11 books. What a totally charming woman and it was fascinating to get insight into her writing process.

I bought her latest book "Heartbroken" and starting it today.

Finished The Playdate and loved it! Lots of yummy twists and turns.

I am now reading The Age of Desire by Jennie Fields. It's a fictional account of an affair that Edith Wharton had and also her relationship with her governess who works as her secretary in the older years. I got this one for review so hoping I like it.
