Anntie, started the Brady book last night and had a hard time putting it down. I'm a bit suspicious of the red-haired man she met in the diner. Killer? Red-herring? I guess I'd better read some more tonight.

Loved, loved Blackberry Winter. I was in tears at the end.
I'm reading The End of Your Life Book Club and I am sure I will be in tears by the end, if not during, this one.

Just finished " The Passage" . What a roller coaster ride, chills and thrills from beginning to end.

Has anyone read any of the Anne Perry Christmas books? There are perhaps five or six of them?

TNT - I haven't ready any of the Anne Perry Christmas books but have heard they are good.
I just started "Girl Gone" and can't put it down.

Oops, I actually finished Gina Gershon's In Search of Cleo: How I Found My ••••• and Lost My Mind. and it was okay but I kind of kicked myself for paying the price I did (kindle book),
Now reading Molly Ringwald's When it Happens to You and she's a fine writer!

Sea, I really liked her stories.
I finished The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe and what a lovely tribute to his mom!
I am now reading Orphan Train by Cristina Baker Kline. I think it comes out in April or something like that. I was wracking my brain this morning to remember what story I had read recently about orphan trains because I hadn't heard of them before and finally realized it was The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty.

I remember favorable reports here and then when it dropped to a lower price I snagged it!
Ahh, I really liked The Chaperone.

Read the Kindle short "Aftermirth" by Hilary Jordan and enjoyed it. Also enjoyed the ending of Dorian Gray - as I always do.

When You Reach Me, a young adult novel. It is captivating. I don't want to say much because I foresee a twist. Anyone else read this?

"Emory's Gift" by W.Bruce Cameron. This one is about a boy and a bear instead of dog's. I'm sure I will cry before I finish it.

I'm reading Jeanne Cooper's book Not Young, Still Restless and thoroughly enjoying it! She's a kick. I started it this morning after finishing Orphan Train (enjoyed it) and will probably be done tonight. It's a really fast read but she is so straightforward, you gotta love her.

I was given the first book of the 50 Shades of Grey by a friend to cheer me up a bit after an injury I had and while recovering at home I had nothing to do but read this book and then I ended up reading the second and third book.
Sorry, didn't check to see if anyone also read this trilogy but it seems quite popular and they even think of making a movie from these books.
I read a lot of negative comments but if you get past the over the top sex scenes you start to accept the whole story in book 2 and 3, when you consider that this is a true true love and there are no limits to true love, right? People should really try to read with a bit of sense of humour, it's just fantasy and who doesn't wish that kind of fantasy, it was a nice way for me to escape the boredom of healing from my injury.

It's quite something, eh Makkie? Have you seen the film? I read it about a year or so ago, and saw the film on the Demand channel on TV. Both are terrific!

I learned things that I had no idea about with Sarah's Key.
I'm reading A Simple Thing by Kathleen McCleary.

Spunky, a lot of us have read the 50 Shades trilogy. I enjoyed it very much and not just for the sex scenes but that was good too. lol
I am reading "A Kiss of Shadows" by Laurell Hamilton and the sex scenes are pretty crazy! Feys having sex is intense! I don't know if I will continue on with the other 7 books in the series. The story just kind of started without much background and I am a little lost.

Started The Brave by Nicholas Evans (Horse Whisperer and Smokejumper), and it's sucked me in already. I may have a very difficult time grading papers tomorrow after work.
