I started reading "The Paris Wife" by Paula McLain, but I couldn't get into it. I think my brain is stuck on health care quality! My mom's book club is reading "The Aviator's Wife" which is about Anne Morrow Lindbergh. So ... reading enthusiasts, thank you in advance for any recommendations!

    Let's see ... the authors of the last three books I really enjoyed were Erik Larson (In the Garden of Beasts), John Grisham (re-read The Rainmaker), and Malcolm Gladwell (Blink). I've never read Patricia Cornwell's books though I know she is very popular. I'm not into romance novels or sci-fi. If it's fiction I'd like a happy ending. I'll try to stop at the library soon.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Some of the best books I've read in the last few years are Stieg Larsson's three books - check them out! I also liked Maeve Binchy's "Italian Teacher" (not sure the title is quite correct)
