I just finished Aprons on a Clothesline by Traci DuPree which was very good. Its a story about a family in small town MI - the character development was just excellent. *edited to add* That apparently Traci DuPree is a "Christian" writer - I didn't notice a whole lot of Godspeak but I star...

I've got 2 in my to be read pile but they have to go back this week so I probably won't get to them. They were new releases so I only had 2 weeks. The sisterhood books got priority because I had placed them on hold - plus they were super easy reading. Usually when I go to the library, I get 3-4 book...

I'm reading the 3rd in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. I whipped through the first 2 this weekend. Sure its teen reading, but I'm enjoying them. :)

I have the new Dean Koontz book Velocity waiting to be read but it may need to go back to the library before I start it.

So you know that you're not "supposed" to do an OCD behavior and you try not to do it? I always thought that it was just something that was done without your being aware.

Its not my usual book but I'm glad I read it - really easy to get through. What was your favorite story? I laughed a lot through the stories of his broth...

I just finished In Her Shoes - I liked it. Although of the 3 JW books it is my least favorite - my fave is definitely Good in Bed.

I'm halfway through Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. I've loved her books in the past but this one is slow to me.
