Mkat - I feel the same way about Danielle Steel. If I have to read about one more "river of champagne" or "creamy shoulders" or a "pots and pots of coffee", I'll toss my cookies! I, too, like the Beverly Lewis books, but have only read a couple of them. And I like LaVerle Spencer, too. My favorite authors are John Grisham, Sue Grafton, Belva Plain, Barbara Taylor Bradford and Sidney Sheldon. I like lots of others, too, of course. Right now, I'm reading a Robin Cook book, called Marker. So far, so good!
I just read The Devil Wears Prada. I giggled through the whole thing!
I'm reading "One Thousand White Women - the Journals of May Dodd by Jim Fergus. It's the story of a fiesty woman who in order to escape the mental asylum her wealthy family has committed her to for her promiscuous behavior - volunteers for a Brides for Indians program in 1875.
It's making it's rounds of the book club selections this year and surprisingly, is a rather good read.
The Devil Wears Prada was a fun, light summer read too.
Well, I read A Girl's Best Friend by Kristin Billerbeck...it's a series of the spa girls collection. About three christian friends in pursuit of life, love and the perfect manicure. This is the second one and now I have to wait forever for #3, ugh! I am halfway through Never Leave Me by John Glatt..a true crime story. Not sure why I am fascinated by true crime. It's actually sad but for some reason I like reading this sort of stuff once in a while. Anyway...after that will be Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich. I love her books! I've had it for a while but kind of put off reading it because I know I will have to wait for #13! Was trying to read at least 4 books a month but it hasn't happened yet, lol. Still hope if I read fast and more each day.
HAPPY READING LADIES!
I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter series. Does anyone have any idea when the last book will be out? I'm reading 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet now and it's very good. I'm still working on the Da Vinci Code code but my interest waned after going to the movie. (I hate knowing the ending). Anyone a Clive Clussler or Robert Ludham fans? I have books you may have if you pay postage.
