I just finished The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and now I'm about 60 pages into Anita Shreve's Sea Glass. I'm not sure if I like it or not. So far it's an easy read but I'm not that into it.


Next up is Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes or Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich. I'm trying out a different Evanovich book. I've only read Stephanie Plum so my expectations are high, lol.

I"m reading Dean Koontz's "Seize the Night". He is not one of the usual authors I read, but this story certainly is very good. He is very descriptive and you never know what kind of turn he is going to take in the book. I haven't counted the books that I have to read in my room, since I have piles and boxes of them. I am resigned to reading every one of them. There has been only one author through the last 3 years that I have found to be so boring I had to stop reading and give up on reading any of his. If I find the name I'll let you know so no one else will have to be bored,as there are so many good books out there!

I enjoyed The Sisterhood. I heard about the book a few years ago but was a little leary of it because it was a "young adult" book. I thought it might be a little too "young" for me but I broke down since I've heard rave reviews about it. I was pleasantly suprised that I enjoyed it so much.

Finished reading a book I've had on my TBR pile for ages. Felt proud of myself for moving one more off that stack (actually many stacks). Copyright was 2001 so you can see how far behind I am.

Finally finished "The Grand Complication" by Allen Kurzweil. I'm not sure where I heard about this one. And I'm still not sure what I thought of it. I doubt if I'll try anthing else by him, but I won't swear to that either. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786885181/qid=1141692379/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/104-8596803-2209512?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

I picked up a book by Mary Stewart at a library booksale Sat. - "The Rose Cottage". It was a nice little book. I'm now reading "Love Walked In" by Marisa de los Santos. I'm really liking it so far. The two main female characters have just met up & I can't wait to see where it goes with them.
