My son gave me "Borderline" by Nevada Barr for Christmas. Read it in record time now I'm devouring other titles by her. Love finding a new author that I like.

Just finished "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" (true story) about a woman whose cancer cells were removed and used for testing without her knowledge and has led to a multibillion dollar industry and questions the privacy laws for medical research.
Do I sound like the retired librarian I am (LOL).

Because I ran out of library books last week looked through my own collection (quite a few I haven't read yet) and found 'The Railway Children' such a lovely story and realised the film with Jenny Agutter was made exactly like it

For those of us who like mysteries check out "Bryant and May on the Loose: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery" by Christopher Fowler. The series is great. Also the southern sister mysteries by Ann George- only one I can think of is "Murder on a Girl's Night Out"

I'm currently reading the 1994 - 1996 book, "The City on a Hill" about Ronald Reagan written by his son, Michael. Brings back many good memories of "The Gipper." I'm also starting a Bible study tomorrow titled, "The Disciple's Cross," but haven't got the book yet.

The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin. It is a wonderful love story. Written by a man, I couldn't believe these words came from a man. When I started the book I wasn't sure I was going to like it but it started to warm up and then I couldn't put it down. Then I was sad that I had finished it.
