Most
of the story takes place in a 24 hour period. Real page turner

Just started "False Mermaid" from Erin Hart. Realized I had read at least
on
of her books before and did like it.

Next - a birthday present "Trowel and Error" from Alan Titchmarsh. I love
that man.

All sound interesting. Hmmmm, I'm trying unsuccessfully to actually read
something - or several somethings.

On the nightstand:
Nature Girl by Carl Hiassen - I like his satirical take on life in South
Florida



Someone at the doctor's office the other day was reading Nature Girl and was
loving it.

My list of to read books is getting really long. Not enough time in the
day.

The Shadow Queen & Tangled Webs by Sharon Bishop - I like these sort of
sexy, eerie fantasy/adventure books. Liked the rest of the series, but
haven't started these.

Saw the new Richard Jury by Martha Grimes " The Black Cat" - resisted
buying it, it's on a long list at the library. We'll see. Similarly,
waiting for the new "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" to be in paperback, as
I
buy them all.

And, then, I'm actually working my way thru the Lanto Synge History of
Needlework tome.

And a fun little book "Jane Austen in Scarsdale" - pretty light.

Aack. Too little time. Maybe I'll finish something.

Must be a Hiassen thing! I bought it to have for my outpatient all day
thing, it's pretty funny. I was definitely chuckling - but IME most of his
books make me giggle. This one has some interesting settings at the
Seminole reservation, etc - and sort of brings back that youthful
familiarity with the old stomping grounds. But, the day involved me not
feeling well enough to actually stay awake and read, and the aftereffects
lasted for a couple of days - so it went into the hold pile.

If you haven't read any of his, it's worth a try. Given the South Florida
thing, and they are fast, funny reads.

I adore Carl Hiassen.

I'm currently reading A Dead Hand, by Paul Theroux.

Anyone else read Christopher Moore?

Ah, Sara - I'm LOL. The owner of the shop I used to manage - which went
belly-up in its B&M incarnation is a big time Chris Moore junkie (spending
much time being active on his board). Anyhow - both to chat about Chris
Moore, and deal with your lugana issue - you might be able to get in touch
with her - the shop is now in an on-line version - and I'm sure there is an
e-mail link to her, Sara Leigh of Merrey Designs - try the web-site at:
www.scarletthread.com

For those who care - not affiliated, no profit to me. But Sara might be
able to get fabric help and talk Chris Moore!

Well, hopefully I'll finish this one soon and let you know - want me to send
it to you for a loaner?

Ellice

lots and lots - I go thru 3 - 4 books a week. The 'meatier' fare,
such as "Silken Threads" by Young Yang Chung, which is a history of
embroidery in Japan, China, Korea and Vietnam, I read more slowly - it
can take months to work my way through it.

James Patterson has started a new series with a detective named
Michael Bennett.
I just read the first book, 'Run For Your Life'.It was a good
read.....except Michael Bennett
seems to be almost a clone of Alex Cross......their personal lives are
almost identical.

just me,
