I caught part of the Lonesome Dove miniseries on TV, so I'm re-reading Lonesome Dove. It such an amazing book, I sure wish Streets of Laredo and Commanche Moon had captured the same spark.

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Excellent book! I've heard the movie is awful and they changed the ending so I don't think I will be seeing the movie but the book I highly recommend!

I read the book and saw the movie. They totally changed the ending and I was crying throughout the entire movie becaue I thought I knew what was going to happen. I thought the movie was good though. Cameron Diaz did an excellent job playing the mom. The movie is rarely as good as the book.

I've been sucked into the "Twilight" series...on the third book now. I went to the library and everything I'd been WANTING to check out was already out. A lady I work with was obsessed with "Twilight" and had been talking about it...so I thought, "What the heck? I'll see what the fuss is about."

Can't put 'em down.

Finished my re-read of Lonesome Dove - blown away again by the dialogue, descriptions, characters, plotting. I love the first 2 sections, the last section is just a one-knuckle roller coaster of sobbing for me. Love love love!

It's tough for any book to follow LD, but I just finished Girls in Trucks. It was okay - started out like a novel, but became more fragmented and "vignette-like." Which was kind of weird.

Well my son finished the latest Dean Koontz and handed it to me saying it was really good, so I guess that's my next book. Relentless

Oh I finished this series couple months ago. I loved it.

I go in phases when it comes to reading books. At the moment, it is Vampires and paranormal stuff. I get my books from the library and I have so many books sitting at home to read.

I recently finished:
- Lover Avenged (Black Dagger Brotherhood series) by J.R.Ward.
- Brisingr (Inheritence series) by Christopher Paolini

Currently reading :
- At Grave's End (Night Huntress series) by Jeaniene Frost.
- Deal Breaker by Harlan Coben
- The Companion by Susan Squires
- The Omnivore's dilemma: a natural history of four meals by Michael Pollan

Haven't been on here in ages... gosh, where did time go. I finished Shelter Me. A very good read. So much so, that I bought it, so I could have my own copy.

I'm reading lots of books atm...but the one that has most of my attention is On the Road by Jack Kerouac (The Original Scroll).
I heard that it's a good summer book.
