reading for pleasure

Patricia Cornwell has a "Book of the Dead"? I read Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child's "Book of the Dead" last month. Interesting - and it was so good!

I'm about to finish Ken Follett's sequel to "The Pillars of the Earth" - "World Without End". Follett amazes me with his ability to write well in so many eras (and what a grey-haired fox!).

I finished "The Pact" by Jodi Picoult and "Louder than Words" by Jenny McCarthy. The first was great but not as great as I'd hoped and the second was much better than I though it would be. Right now, I'm bouncing between "Wicked" and "The Husband."

You should try "My sister's keeper" by Jodi Picoult. Overall, a great read. It could be that I liked it better than the Pact because I work in a hospital.

It took me awhile to try the Jodi Picoult novels. Once I did, I was hooked. I even convinced my sister-in-law (who doesn't read often) to read My Sister's Keeper. She loved it.

Now to check out more about Patricia Cornwell and her GMA interview.

I read that one last year. In fact, I think I finished it in like a day and a half. I liked it better than The Pact as well.

I think I'll try 17 Minutes, 19 Minutes, whatever this newer one is.
