Just finished Wuthering Heights. I am more than halfway thru one I grabbed from the library called The Lost Souls Reunion by Suzanne Powers. Next up is Fool Moon by Jim Butcher. Yes, I like to mix up the genres a little bit...

I read "Sundays at Tiffany's" by James Patterson yesterday on my plane ride home. It was a quick read....and kind of improbable. It reminded me a lot of that movie "The Lake House" with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. But it was still a cute story, when you were able to suspend reality for a bit.

I read What a She's Out of Control by Kirstin Billerbeck which is the followup to What a Girl Wants....Next up is the final in the series Whith this ring I'm confused. They are real quick, easy reads. Fun too, with good messages ( they are christian chic lit )

i seem to be on a feminist kick- i'm reading a book called "i never called it rape" about date rape and it's quite interesting/enraging/educational.

I just finished Wesley the Owl and it was so interesting. I can't imagine having such a large bird living inside your house and I certainly learned a lot about owl behavior.

Next up is ???

I am reading "Walking in Circles before Lying Down" which is written by Merrill Markoe. It is an interesting read about her life, going nowhere for so long and then finding herself. Atleast that is what I think it is about, I just started it! LOL......So far so good though.

I just finished the third Sookie Stackhouse book and am about to start the fourth. I'm also dipping in and out of The Attachment Connection, a book about attachment parenting.

Still stuck in my mystery love. Just finished listening Private Patient by PD James, and started on a Jeffrey Deaver one,Broken Window. I'm also reading a new - to me - author, Merry Jones. The one I'm reading is called THe River Killings but there are several in the series. Just started it so hard to tell yet.

Alison - I've been wanting to read Wesly the Owl but it's always out when I go looking for it. I love animal stories too.

Oooh, I am adding Wesley the Owl to my library queue. I have been on a non fiction kick. I read Don't Try this at Home - Culinary Disasters from the World's Greatest Chefs and Hurry Down Sunshine. I'm currently reading The Spare Wife but it's kind of "eh" and has a really annoying way of switching around between characters.

Glory, I enjoyed Hurry Down Sunshine, but it wasn't the greatest. I've read a lot of books by parents of problem/troubled/additcted/ill children and although I'd rate it good, it isn't one of the greatest. But truthfully? I can't remember without going through my stacks of books to tell you which one(s) I liked the best.

You will really like Wesley!

Right now I'm reading Confessions of a Shopaholic. Finally decided to read it with the movie coming out (or already out?). So far I am not impressed.

mygritsconfessions: I just read that book! I liked it, but it was definitely a tearjerker for me. I of course read it on a plane, so I'm sure the other passengers thought I was a loony. Hehe.

Heh, I read Year of Wonders on a plane and BAWLED the whole way. It was doubly embarassing since I was on my way to a work conference. It turns out, the woman sitting behind me was actually a coworker I had emailed many times but had never met in person.

Yeah, it feels like I read Beautiful Boy and Hurry Down Sunshine back to back - that's a lot of kid issues!

Earlier in the month I was reading Noah Lukeman's A Dash of Style: The Art and Mastery of Punctuation... but I put that on hold to read Tawn O'Dell's Back Roads. Hoping to be done by the 21.
