I just got into his books and am enjoying the one I'm currently reading while doing D. My step dad has a whole bunch of them so I am going to ask him if I can borrow some  I want to read Whispers from what someone told me, it's quite good too! I'll keep the ones you mentioned, in mind too! Have you read Your Heart Belongs to Me yet? |

I have not read that one yet. Whispers is quite good. Seize the Night & Fear Nothing remind me of the area in CA where I grew up. they are kind of a part 1 & part 2 but either can be read as a stand alone.

Rereading The Pillars Of The Earth by Ken Follett. I like to read long novels in the dialysis chair, but read them on my Kindle so I can have choices and don't have to hold up a heavy book one-handed.

Angel in the Rubble by Genelle Guzman-McMillan, the last survivor found beneath the World Trade Center after 9/11. It is described as heart-breaking, nail biting, and inspiring. And it is!

Very sad news, I just found out that Anne McCaffrey, author of the Pern series, died on November 21. She was 85. Let's hope her son, Todd, honors her memory by continuing the series.

We just finished "The Kitchen Boy" by Robert Alexander. This the first book that I read about the Russian Revolution and I found it fascinating. DH is upset that I don't find Serbian history as fascinating, but there isn't a big love story woven in like there was with Tsar Nicholas and Tsarina Alexandra.
Today, I will be starting "The Wilder Life" about a woman who decides to take on the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder in today's modern world. Since I have read all of the Little House on the Prairie books ad nauseum, I think this will be an awesome read.

I've just started Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg. I love the movie Fried Green Tomatoes and have seen it more times than I can count.
The book is funny, I'm really enjoying this. Sometimes you need something that can put a smile on your face!

I started "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" in August when I was in the hospital with a staph infection. Somehow, it wasn't the right time or place to read that book and I couldn't get into it. I just finished "Blood, Bones and Butter" by Gabreielle Hamilton for the second time. I had read it over the summer and loved it and my book club decided to pick it for our December read. I think I'm going to splurge and get "11/22/63" by Stephen King with the B&N card I got as a gift. I used to be a huge King fan but got turned off trying to read "Insomnia" a few years ago. This looks like an interesting read. Cattlekid, I read the Wilder Life recently and loved it! Of course I have long been a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan!

Finished Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, it was most excellent especially if you're looking for a light read, I've now got Janet Evanovich, Sizzling Sixteen. Right now I'm craving light reads.
For those who really like Murder Mysteries, Harlan Coben has an amazing writing skill. You can never figure it out before the end of the book, unlike the other mysteries I've read. There's always a twist so you can't guess. Plus the ones I've read so far are done in a way that they aren't gruesome. It's up to your imagination how you see it.
