Latita ------(?) It was so moving.
Another great book.....Double Bind by Chris Bojalian, a GREAT book for a book club discussion. When you finish it, you have to go back because you were really reading a different book than you thought! So cleverly done.
The Man from Bejing is another good read. Thanks for the link. I have jotted down several for continued reading.

I just finished 'How the Irish Saved Civilization' by Cahill. Great! They really did! Now I'm reading 'Ireland' by Frank Delaney. No, I'm not Irish. We're going on a cruise around the British Isles in May.

I am so amazed that you/we all read so much, tend to be on this forum so much and we still quilt!! Where do you all find the time to do all this and still keep a house and as for me a full time job on top of it! LOL!!

I read the 'earth's children' series by Jean Auel, more than once.(She was my babysitter when I was a little kid.)
My next book is "Lifting the Veils of Death" written by Sylvia Wadlington (my cousin)

Wow re the Stephanie Plum cast. The only ones I recognize are Katherine Heigl and Debbie Reynolds. I NEVER would have cast either of them, but of course I'll see the movie. I wonder if they'll actually do the steamy scenes.
