Double Take

I just finished reading Double Take by Catherine Coulter.
I have read a slew of books from her FBI series and this one
was everything I had hoped it would be. It was filled with
suspense and intrigue with a bit of psychic visions, communications
with the dead and of course death of the BAD GUY. I am now on the
hunt for Tailspin, another one of her FBI books.

Nineteen Minutes...Jodi Picoult

Just finished Nineteen Minutes. It was a very good book. Really insiteful (is that with a c or an s?) as to the psychie (oh brother, sorry for the English Shana and Cari) of children, and parents, and teenagers, etc. It ended the only way it could. I think I probably would'nt read it if I had small kids as it can make you feel a little bit helpless and hopeless as a parent. But since my kids all turned out soo good and balanced (despite having me for a mother) instead I just breathed a big "whew" that their grown. I reeeeeally need to read something light and airy so my next book is called "The Good Good Pig" by Sy Montgomery. It's about the extraordinary life of christopher hogwood. So far, it 's just what I needed.

Stephanie Myer- The Vampire Chronicals

These books (4 total) are without a doubt the best I've read over the past couple years. They're like candy, purely for recreation and not at all high-brow, and, like candy, I am going totally addicted.

The story revolves around the intense love story of Bella and Edward Edward and his family (the Cullens) are vampires that do not feed on humans..'vegetarian' if you will. Bella is human.

I read all 3000 pages (4 books) within 2 weeks. These are the kind of books you stay up until 3am reading... They're such page turners that I found myself sneaking in 2 minutes here and there just to get a fix.

Oh, AND, Twilight (the 1st book) has been made into a movie, debuting 12/12/2008.

I highly recommend!! Harry Potter quality:)

My Sister's Keeper

Over the past several years the majority of my books have been pretty much murder and mystery, with, of course, Harry Potter and others mixed in. Literature (I'm speaking about books found in the Literature part of Borders, rather than Mystery) has not really been a big interest. But Cari has got me hooked on Jodi Picoult. I finished "My Sister's Keeper" and have become a total fan. Which is great because she has lots of books to read. "My Sister's Keeper" is about a young girl (13) who was pretty much bred to be her older sister's (16) medical parts supplier, as it were. Her sister has leukemia, since the age of 2) She now has decided that she no longer wants to do this. The book is really really good. I totally had thought I figured out the ending was absolutely wrong. I'm now reading "Nineteen Minutes" and went to Costco today to get "Vanishing Acts." Will let you know, but 1/2 through Nineteen Minutes, it is as time consuming as My Sister's Keeper. I LOVE good books!!!!
