Has anyone read The Great World Spin by Colm McCann? If so, what did you think of it? I just put it on my Christmas wish list based on a review by Frank McCourt.

There comes a time when we all need to stop saying "I wish" or "I will", and start saying "I am", so we can later say "I did".

I finished The Christmas Pearl (is it a novel with recipes, or a cookbook with a story? Half the book is recipes: Southern recipes, probably not very diet-friendly!) and started reading To All a Good Night (a collection of 3 contemporary romances) but don't know if that kind of sexy fare is really up my alley: so I stocked up on Wishin' and Hopin' by Wally Lamb (darn it, now Dusty Springfield's ghost moves into my brain cells and starts singing the same-named song) and 3 Xmas-themed cozy thrillers. Also gotta save room for the next Mary & Carol Higgins Clark holiday story (getting to be an annual habit) and something grittier, maybe go back to Hush, It's a Game or Slay Ride

I am in the middle of Perfect Life by: Jessica Shattuck. Like the storyline, but some parts seem to drag. Those I just skim over though.

juggling three books right now! A collection of HP Lovecraft stories - very good! and some Robert Jordan prequel hubby insists that I read... but then I was at the bookstore the other day and surprise!! one of my favorite authors has a book out. So I dropped everything for Juliette Marrilier's Hearts Blood. So far, so good!

I finished City of Ashes & Nightlight (a Twilight paradoy-kinda stupid, but yet funny) yesterday. So I'm currently out of books to read. I may have to go to the store for City of Glass. I LOVE the MI books!!!
