Right now I am reading CON ED by Matthew Klein, LIFE GOES SLEEPING by Reed Farrel Coleman and THE WOODS by Harlan Coben. Last week was better as my favorites were released --- BAD LUCK AND TROUBLE by Lee Child, INVISIBLE PREY by John Sandford and THE OVERLOOK by Michael Connelly. I enjoyed them all. I only wish I didn't have wait a year for their new books.

I rarely read one book at a time. The main reading book is THE FAITH CLUB: A Muslim, A Christian, A Jew - Three Woman Search for Understanding. The audio book in the car is BASKET CASE by Carl Hiaasen. Another book I've been reading in short snatches is A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS by Dave Eggers. And finally, I've been working on SLEEPING DOGS DON'T LAY.

BAD LUCK AND TROUBLE by Lee Child --- I finish every Reacher book so quickly when they are released that now mid-May seems to be a highly anticipated holiday each time a new Reacher book comes out. I reserve any bookstore gift cards I may get at Christmas Just for Lee Child's books. It's like having a little bit of literary Christmas in May.

Right now I am reading THREE CUPS OF TEA by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.
This is a heart warming true story about a man changing the feeling of Afghanistan and Pakistan about America one school at a time. The story starts with a failure of reaching a peak of a mountain and losing his way back off the mountain. He turns the failure into a mission. This is a man who thinks with his heart..

I just now finished CROSS by James Patterson, and have started STEP ON A CRACK. CROSS was unfullfilling in some ways & yet exceptionally good in others. It didn't pan out the way I thought it would, but then again, James Patterson is always one to have twists and turns, but I did love the characterizations. Boy, James Patterson certainly creates some really BAD bad guys! As far as STEP ON A CRACK goes, I'm very intrigued. The cop with so many kids (and poor wife!). I can tell this is going to be a really good one.

I am reading a retold fairy tale by Adele Geras called PICTURES OF THE NIGHT. This was a book written over ten years ago and I had to get it from amazon.com because my local bookstores do not carry it anymore! The book is excellent, and is the third in a trilogy called the Egerton Hall Series. It's short but sweet.

Five minutes ago, I finished THE POST-BIRTHDAY WORLD Lionel Shriver. She can make paragraphs out of a single thought! I really enjoyed the unusual perspective this book had. However, it was a bit too long -- I believe it could have been cut by 20 percent. I did read WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN, which Ms. Shriver also wrote, and that kept me enthralled the entire time! I could easily read other books in between this one and leisurely return to it, up until the last 75 pages --- then I was glued.
Rose - CT
I just read A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini and I highly recommend it. It was heart wrenching, but so well written and quite powerful. You cannot put the book down. I have learned so much about Afghanistan and the region; if you do the research, his books are based on truths. It's a great book for discussion at reading groups. I have no problem waiting two more years for another book from Mr. Hosseini. He has opened his country's soul to us with all its blemishes.

VIRGIN RIVER by Robyn Carr. This book is about a woman who leaves LA for the back woods to escape smog, crime, and the memories of her one true love who was murdered in a convenience store robbery. She's grieving, lost and in pain, just wants to get away to somewhere to heal and feel needed in a small town as the midwife and nurse practitioner, helping an aging Doctor. What she finds are the type of people who care, who are each strong characters, who welcome her with open arms and help her heal. This book is such great reading I had to go and get its sequel, SHELTER MOUNTAIN, and now I can't wait to get the third in the series as soon as I can. The characters and the stories within the story are all so well developed they become like family. This is a book that's hard to put down from first page to last.
