I had forgotten about the book club until this morning......I read a lot of heavier stuff like....Eckhart Tolle/ The Power of Now....A New Earth. Once in a while I need a "mind break" and junk read for fun. I have always enjoyed reading Danielle Steel....I am just finishing A Good Woman, it's about a young woman set in the early 1900's and her trials, stengths and her committment to making a difference in the lives of others. Worth a try I think....

I read it about a month ago ao I'm ready to discuss at any time. So much to say, but I will wait so that I do not give anything away to those who have not yet read it.

I read it too - a couple of months ago - and really liked it.

I'm anxious to see what others think of it.

Ok, got Sarah's Key!  Had to buy it, as the library had a waiting list with 13 people on it!  Must be a good book!

K, I don't normally buy books either, especially hardbacks, but I have borrowed all of the Twilight books from a friend :)   It really has been light reading, but I'm hooked and want to know how it ends! 

Talk to you all later,

Cindy

Isabel has been reading all the twilight books too, as has my 14 year old daughter.  Is it Stephanie Myers?? or something like that?

Yes, Ernie, it's Stephanie Meyer that wrote the Twilight Series...I'm sure your 14 year old is really enjoying it - I know I would have at 14...I'm really enjoying it right now, too, I have to admit! 

In stark contrast to the vampire story...I started Scarlet's Key last night...I'm sad already...I know, I won't say anything else yet...

Cindy -

Sarah's Key is a very heartbreaking book, but it's a great read if you can get past the sad stuff.
