I just started reading
A Gracious Plenty
by Shari Reynolds for bookclub. I think this will be the third book we have read in about 12 months that has voices of the dead as part of the narrative. I am liking it so far.
I also just bought from my faboo street guy (who is finally back after the long winter hiatus) - an older version (1930) than what I have of Nancy Drew #1, The Secret of the Old Clock, bonus, it has the dustjacket. Also,
Out of the Dust
by Karen Hesse, which I have never even heard of, but it is a Newbery, so I figured it would be good to have in the YA library.
Here is a nice little reading list
.
I read Bet Me, by Jennifer Crusie, on Saturday, and it's wonderful. It reads like a smart screwball comedy. Also, I was tickled that at the very, very end, a black lab-mix dog nicknamed The Beast makes a very brief appearance.
Java, is that her newest one?
Yay...I'm reading "Crazy for you" and it's kind of weirding me out.
Java, is that her newest one?
Yup.
Yeah, the guy in Crazy for You is so creepy-real.
I really didn't like Crazy for You, mostly because of the creepiness factor.
Yeah, Crazy For You was just to realistic. Creeped me right out.
Gimme crazy painting forgers and soft porn makers any day.
I love Crazy For You because the up-against-the-wall sex is so hot.
the up-against-the-wall sex
Oh yeah.
I almost forgot.
t runs to bunk
But I find her sex scenes just hot in general. In most romance novels, I skip over the sex scenes. They're so blah. JC's I read, and reread and reread and jump my hubby and then read again.
