    Glad I found this site!!!! You all are more interesting than any "Book Club' I have attended. I am in a rut right now with my reading. Can't seem to find anything worthwhile. But you have inspired me. I am going to get some of what you all just recently recommended!

    I am now reading Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah--almost done. About two women and their friendship that spans most of their lives. Set in the Seattle, WA area.

    I just finished No One Tells Everything by Rae Meadows. Really good. A woman living in Brooklyn trying to find herself and work through issues from her past. Set in NY and Cleveland, Ohio.

    Good morning!

     So glad to see this thread going, Deb really enjoyed reading.

    I am so glad for all your inputs. Ray,e the book about Jerri Nielson was very good. It also was interesting about the South Pole. right now I am reading Michael J. Fox's newest book:"Always Looking Up". I am thinking of "Resilience" by Elizabeth Edwards next.

    I put all of your books on my reading list.

    Have a great day!

    I am going on a cruise soon and need a good book.  I can't get into anything to heavy so something funny or romantic (Danielle Steel'ish), any suggestions?

    Me again~

     I am on the library wait list for "At least in the City they can hear me scream".  Heard it's about 2 guys from the city who moved to the country and the escapades they encounter.  Anyone read it yet?

    I loved reading this thread.  I didn't know AlaskaDeb but I have read many of her posts and those of her friends that love and miss her.  Keeping this thread going is a great way to honor what she loved.

    Currently reading, Pretty Is What Changes by Jessica Queller, about a woman in her 30s facing the decision to remove her breasts and genetic testing.  My next choice will be much lighter........

    Do do I.

    I've read a ton of books lately, but can only remember a few.

    1. Dust and Shadow - Lyndsay Faye - Fiction: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson work on the Jack the Ripper case. Very good.

    2. In the Shadow of Gotham - Stefanie Pintoff - Fiction: Set in NYC in the early 1900's, murder mystery. Again, very good read.

    3. Change in Altitude - Anita Shreve - Fiction: Set in Africa in the 70's (I presume due to certain products and statements made); examines relationships between couples and the relationship of marriage with a backdrop of Africa's good and bad sides. Very good.

    Hi Readers.

    I've read a few books as of late:

    The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner: Fiction, mystery/suspense. Set in Boston. Interesting characters and good story line. Highly recommend.

    The Fixer Upper by Mary Kay Andrews: Fiction, chick lit type of book. Set in Washington DC and a small town in Georgia. Pretty good. A fun, easy read.

    Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child: Fiction, set in NYC. Mystery with Agent Pendergast. Very good. Highly recommended.

    I highly recommend the book A Place Called Wiregrass by Michael Morris. A delightful and well-written book, it literally moved me to tears in the end. 

    I apologize if I have posted this before.   I don't think I have, but the way my mind is lately, who knows?

    I'm glad Deb's post is still going!

    I just read World War Z by Max Brooks (Mel Brooks' son.) It's about the "Zombie War" - Very entertaining and thought-provoking! My son-in-law gave it to to me; he knows I crack up over Shaun of the Dead.

    Anyone like Wally Lamb? He wrote "She's come undone" several yrs ago and I just re read it.

    He also wrote "I know this much is true" afew yrs ago.......great author but LONG books. I bought "the hour I first believed" (another long involved story) and when I finished it, I had a routine mammo and you know how that goes.........

    I adore David Sedaris.

    Just read a new book called "Olive Kitteridge" by Elizabeth Strout. Fab book

    And the Story of Edgar Sawtelle..........you gotta love dogs to sift thru that one, but I loved it.

    I got Breast Cancer Husband by Marc Silver for my husband.  He has started it and says it is helping him to understand what I am dealing with.

    I just finished a great book.  Non fiction and about the exploitation of a particular woman and her family . It raises really interesting thoughts about DNA and who owns our cells.  I was totally absorbed all the way to the end.

    The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
