Now I'm starting Stephen King's "Cell". Haven't read any of his books for a long time, but a friend gave me this one so I thought I'd read it - something a little different (for me) for a change. _________________________ Ann

Cookie, what kind of books are these, esp. the ones by Cathy Lamb? _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

gims Member Registered: 01/16/07 Posts: 3404 Loc: USA	I'm currently finishing up 'Faking It' by Miller. Difficult read, but am so enjoying. I'm not starting any others until my daughter and I get through the one she wants us to read together.

Welcome to the world baby girl This book interested me..left me saddened by the race discrimination which was a shocking testimony of bad old days.

Cookie Member Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 753 Loc: USA	PL, all the books that I mentioned are fiction. But I think Rick Bragg's book is the third book of his memoir(non-fiction). I love books!

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	CrosstitchQ, did you read My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult? I enjoyed that one. Dierdre Purcell, who wrote Tell Me Your Secrets, is another writer I have enjoyed. I've read all of Rick Bragg's books except this last one. I enjoy them, but he isn't one of my fav's. Fannie Flagg is great. Such talent. I'm so jealous of her gift for writing! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	I just finished "The Alchemist" and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I'm reading "When the Heart Waits" by Sue Monk Kidd, and Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie". Now that the new Narnia movie "Prince Caspian" is coming out, I'll probably read the entire series again. That's the good thing about a bad memory, even though I've read the Narnia books upteen times, when I read them again, it's as new and exciting as the first time! Lynn, how quickly time flies. I still think your book is awesome and a must-read. And I still miss my Mom terribly. But I never did finish that other book, "The Time Traveler". _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Jabber, who says it has to be intellectual? I think one should read what one enjoys. Truly! I even have friends who read that Sc-fi junk! LOL! Eagle, do you absolutely LOVE Tuesdays with Morrie or what? What a great book. I've been disappointed in Sue Monk Kidd but everyone else seems to love her. So it's probably me. Mom suggested a book, The Prisoner of Birth, by Jeffrey Archer but the library has a 28-day waiting list for that one...so it must be good. I tried to get the No More Mondays someone suggested but there is a 14-day waiting list for that one! Wow... _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW
