John Sandford wrote Rules of Prey, I don't think it's a movie just one I would like to get back into BC loop or whatever.


Derailed by James Siegle this is the Jennifer Aniston/Clive Owen movie. Looks like a good movie so I'm hoping for a pretty good psychological type thriller.


I feel like I'm behind schedule because I like to get a "movie" book read before the movie comes out in theaters.

Gretchen, my son-in-law didn't like DERAILED at all, but my husband and I both liked it a lot.

The list was rather short but then it just takes on a life of its own.

Phillipa Gregory- not sure which one yet but perhaps two.
Memoirs of a Geisha
1776
I have two books cooming from inner library loan
Grave Sight thanks to Teri's post about Charlaine Harris
Thorn in My Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs thanks to my new job at the bookstore

Can we add a couple of weeks to January?

Oh and I have the new Nora Roberts trilogy to read too

Well here's a PARTIAL list (till 1/16 anyway!) LOL.

On 12/26, believe it or not, although there was no mail, the library was open! So I picked up the following to read through 1/16:

Dorothy Gilman's Mrs Pollifax Unveiled, ALREADY FINISHED as of 12/28. Typical Dorothy Gilman, entertaining as always.
Nicholas Sparks' At First Sight (sequel to True Believers), ALREADY FINISHED as of 12/28. The ending (well, not the VERY ending, but if you read the book you'll know what I mean!) was a DEFINITE shocker. I sat there saying, "What?! WHAT?! How can he DO this to me?!", LOL.
Alan Dean Foster's latest Pip and Flinx adventure Running From The Deity, ALREADY FINISHED as of 12/28. Love Pip and Flinx adventures, so this one was entertaining too!
Elaine Isaak's The Singer's Crown, IN PROGRESS and very interesting so far.
Ginger Garrett's Chosen (about Queen Esther in the Bible),
Jean Rabe's The Finest Choice,
Caitlin Brennan's Song Of Unmaking,
and Judith Berman's Bear Daughter.

I also need to finish S Is For Silence (still haven't gotten to that one yet), Memoirs
Of A Geisha that I got for Christmas, and the book my coworker lent me A Million Little Pieces.

Not sure what will be the final choices for Jan but right
now I am loving

The woman in White by Wilkie Collins
Anne Frank diary of a young girl

I also have The Broker by Grisham and David Copperfield home but looks like I need
to make a library trip quick before they close this weekend to
keep me busy.

I do of course have about a thousand books by my nightstand so could do with a blizzard to keep me away from the library!!;)
