Brain candy for me this week - I checked out 6 Sneakie Pie Brown mysteries from the library.  Pets who solve murders - total fluff, but sooooo much fun!

The Wishsong of Shannara by Terry Brooks.



I am rereading the series. I read it years ago.

Finally I got around to finishing Marley & Me.

I feel a little better about Dorothy's appalling manners now - she's not such a bad dog after all.  :rofl;

I have a whole range of possibilities to choose from next, but should probably pick up My Sister's Keeper as it is borrowed and I need to return it to its owner soon.

I'm reading Marley & Me right now.  I have already cried and I am only on chapter 5.  He looks so much like my beloved Skye.  Fortunately, she was so well behaved, unfortunately, I see so much of my little Scooby in Marley!  >:D.

My Sister's Keeper was a really good book.  Definitely a tear jerker!

I love Marley and Me.    so glad you are reading the book in case the movie is changed around    the author also has some children's books with things Marley did
I already said this somewhere but here goes again    I was reading the end at dialysis and was crying and a tech there could not understand why anyone would cry over a book......  I laughed and cried thru the entire book and missed Marley after I finished the book

the author has been on the show where the man goes around training animals because the dog after Marley would chase their geese or ducks

I have a number of classics on my shelf, many of which I haven't read. A while back, I actually pulled out Tess of the D'Urbevilles. It was SO depressing. I bawled all the way through it.

Just thought I would give this topic a bump.  I'm always interested in what everyone's reading.

Currently   "Notes from a Small Island" by Bill Bryson.   It's a funny look at the Brits and their quirkiness which charmed Bryson, an American ex-pat living in England.


Also recently reread "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson, non-fiction and fascinating from both a humanistic and political perspective.  If you Google the title you can get a sense of this book and the man who despite his flaws (yep just another human) I found inspirational in his reaching out to other cultures.  I'd love to have traveled with him.

I finished A Thousand Splendid Suns -- that was very good.

Then I read Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry a young adult book.

Today I finished Cesar's Way: The Natural Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems. This one is by the Dog Whisprer on the National Geographic Channel. Interesting book. I am obviously not my yorkies' pack leader. I will have to work on this...

I think one of the best things about reading is that search for the next book!
