Oh yeah, that's a wonderful book!

I just finished reading Bright Lights Big *** by Jen Lancaster. I absolutely loved her first book, Bitter is the New Black. Bright Lights was pretty good, but not as funny as the first book.

I am currently in a non fiction mode. I am reading Mayflower: A Story of Courage Community and War and One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding - they are both pretty good!

Next up - horror! I have Stephen King's book Blaze and his son's book, Heart Shaped Box. I still in the queue at the library for Rethinking Thin, hopefully I will get it soon so I can participate in the discussions in the Maintainer's forum.

I finished Majestic Descending: it wasn't as good as I expected, the second half anyway, I was kind of expecting more chases (hey, I like Dan Brown's stuff especially Deception Point), and the writer gives the heroine a grisly backstory which ended up having NOTHING to do with the main story (it probably would have been too much to expect that the backstory would connect with the plot, but then why bother with the backstory?) :blah:

Now I'm starting on Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann, about a flock of sheep solving the murder of their shepherd, who used to read books to them every night. That sounds cute
