His books are really quick to read.You just whiz through those chapters.

The first Patterson I read I absolutely hated. I thought I'd never read another. It wasn't that the book was bad, I just didn't like the story line. Anyway, someone gave me 4th of July and I read it recently and really enjoyed it. I don't know if it was because I liked the author he was collaborating with or not.

I had said that I had picked up 4 books at Barnes and Noble, but couldn't remember what that 4th one was: Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin. It's an Oprah book club book and those usually are pretty good reads. That one that's a true story is called The Birthday Party by Stanley Alpert. I think it will be my next book as soon as I get through Hannibal Rising (should finish tonight).

I'm reading Blue Smoke by Nora Roberts. I must admit I never thought I'd read anything by Nora Roberts. o.o

Mu MIL gave me a Nora Roberts book last year that is still sitting on my "to read" pile! For whatever reason, the book just doesn't appeal to me. Is it any good?

Yeah, it's pretty good. Wouldn't say great, but decent enough.

I am reading Ann Brashers's Traveling Pants series. I just got done with the 3rd one.

I just finished To Kill a Mockingird and I loved it. I loved how the story moved at a nice pace with plenty of time to fully develop the characters. A lot of books today are written in such a fast pace it's hard to develop a good mental imagery of the characters.

Now I'm reading The Bridge to Terebithia. I have to finish it before DD and I go see the movie. She loved the book and wanted me to read it,so being the obedient mom, I picked it up and am about half way through.
