Karen - I will sometimes have 2-3 books on my nightstand that I am reading though I prefer to finish one at a time and if I really am loving it, I will read it straight through!!

A PT friend gave me the first book in a series by Beverly Lewis, called The Covenant and I LOVED it and this week I read books 2, 3 and 4. They are about an Old Order Amish family in Pennsylvania. The author also has another series written about Amish living in Lancaster County. They are fiction but the author's mom was Amish and Lewis grew up among the people of that church. They are easy reads but just what I like now and then. The rest of the books in this series were The Betrayal, The Sacrifice, and The Prodigal.

Last night I started Monster which is the newest Frank Perretti.

I am in the middle of a Chicken Soup book - I think it is Pet Lovers or Dog & Cat Lovers. My "to be read" stack is about a foot high

I LOVE Karin Slaughter and did not realize she had another book out!! I requested it from the library!! The publishers date said August 2005 - weird eh?
