I literally just finished Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult. It was as usual excellent. Next I'm going to read Bel Canto for my book club.

Hi Julie,
I read Ann Patchett's Bel Canto six months ago after reading raves about it for a couple of years...and enjoyed it very much!
Just finished "Scavenger Hunt", a mystery by Robert Ferrigno, and #2 in the DKA PI Files series (from 1973!) by Joe Gores.
I've started Smart Women, by Judy Blume... I'm up to chapter 10 and enjoying it.
I read Black House a year or so ago. I liked it, but not like I enjoyed The Talisman. If you haven't already, read "Bleak House" first, there are a lot of references to that Dickens'Classic in Black House.
I think King & Straub have wonderful chemistry when they write together. I've both authors' work separately and sometimes you can see (or at least I imagine I can tell) where one or the other influence comes in.
You'll have to let us know what you think of it.

Both great books, Julie! I read Keeping Faith a couple of weeks ago and LOVED it. Bel Canto was my RLBC's first selection. This was a book I really loved, but it got mixed reviews at out meeting. I'll be curious to hear how yours goes.

I'm 1/2 way through Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. It's GREAT - dark, creepy, and impossible to put down!

Still plugging away at London by Edward Rutherford...I'm on page 757 of 1126! By my calculations (doing my best Spock imitation...lol) I should finish some time next week.
I'd recommend it if you like historical fiction!
