I just read My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Piccoult it was an awesome book, if anyone is looking for something to read.
My mom's book club is reading that book. She's having a hard time getting into it, but it looked good to me!

I enjoyed the book, and have a couple other of her books on my ever increasing pile of reading.

I asked my mom for it after her book club meeting. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm taking a night off and not reading anything.

I have not---I have seen the book, though. Is it worth reading?

I haven't read it. Every time I've seen it I've been tempted, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Never wanted to pay full price, which I think was $45. Now, however, I have seen it on EBAY and half.com, so I may get it soon.

THE QUIET GAME is still my favorite Iles. It SCARED the WITS outta me!
Since I enjoyed THE QUIET GAME, BLOOD MEMORY and FOOTPRINTS OF GOD, I picked up DEAD SLEEP by Greg Iles yesterday.
Has anyone read this one? I find it hard to put down!
I am looking forward to reading his latest, but I may have to check it out at the library. Hardback books aren't in my budget.

I've read all Iles, except the latest. I'm on the list at the library.
Iles reminds me of early Ludlum. He hooks you and you can't put the story down until you know the hero/ine is safe and sound!
I've been really busy at work, so I haven't read anything since TEACHER MAN. I've got a couple from the library, but nothing of interest.

I forgot to take something to read during naptime, so I got Hoot from the school library.
Second time I'm reading it, but it is still a fun read.

I finally read
The Tipping Point, recommended here awhile back (by Ilph, I think) and found it very interesting. I don't read much nonfiction (love those stories instead
) but found that this really held my interest.
As to novels, I just finished and loved Faith Sullivan's
Gardenias, a sequel to
The Cape Ann with the same delightful little girl, Lark, as the narrator and protagonist.
Hope everyone is well!

I've read about half of his books, in no particular order, and enjoyed them.
I find it interesting to read a series in order, though. His first book was THE ROSARY MURDERS.

I think it helps to see Father's character develop. BUt they do stand alone.

All righty, then. I'll look him up at the library! Thanks for the tip.
I'm without a book right now. Weird.

Terry,
Have you ever read a book called The Unquiet Earth by Denise Giardiana? It is set in the coal fields of West Virginia.
