I just finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife. It was an excellent read and I cried at the end. BTW, they are turning it into a movie with Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams.

I am reading an anthology of M. F. K. Fisher's writing about food - fantastic - even if you aren't a cook.  I just finished a biography of Julia Child called "Appetite for Life."  She was a really interesting person and led a remarkable life.

My mom gave me this book and it's just been sitting on my nightstand staring at me since.  Mom says its a super easy, super fast read so I'll probably go ahead and read it since I have nothing else in mind right now.

I just finished The Time Traveler's Wife.  It was different than I expected.  It definately does not make my must-read list, but it was entertaining and a bit thought-provoking.

I am a huge fan of the classics, but I wanted something REALLY light to read and picked this up:

Everyone Worth Knowing

Lynnie-  My favorite book is Great Gatsby.  A book you should check out is Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.  I always recommend it and GG when someone is looking for a good classic. 





I just read Everyone worth knowing a couple of months ago and it's such a fun read.

Bastet: The Kushiel series is one of the best that I've ever read. Her non-Kushiel book, which I forget the name of right now, is also fantastic.

Ditto.  I wasn't exactly dying to read it every night, it was okay.
