I've read Charmed Life but that is all...........so I will leave it to you to decide as to what I should read next, whether to continue the series or something else...........
I really do appreciate this. And just let me know if there is anything you would like to borrow of mine. I'm more than happy to do so :)

Mark and I have been discussing the possibility of another group read in November and want your input. We have narrowed it down to two books at this point. "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. So chat it up with friends or us and let us know if you are up for it and what you think. Probably the same plan as with "Pillars of the Earth" which seemed to work out perfectly for almost all of us.
Think it over and give one of us a shout.
hugs and looking forward to hearing from you,

I am sure you would like this one too, I plan to read The Castle this year, maybe in April. I for one will certainly not even aim for 10 Kafka books a year, 3-4 should be more than enough for me :)

I've finished my ordinary library books and have started my President Challenge (I'm in the middle of George Washington) but now I'm finding more books that I want to read along with them. My TBRS are having babies! At the same time I am reading Benjamin Franklin. Hopefully, I'll get at least one done by 1/1/09 so then I'll really be able to concentrate on all my other books.
ave to finsih up some Christmas things...Have a great holiday!

Just checking in with my friends to see that their reading is keeping them entertained.
I'm getting ready to start my US Presidents Challenge as soon as I finish the book I'm reading. Maybe another 120 pages to go. I'm starting with George Washington so that hopefully I can finish him before the 999 challenge starts and I'll be right on track for President #2 John Adams which is one of my 999 books. Juggling the two challenges is going to be a challenge in itself.
But hey, I'll being reading!
Have a great day!

First time I saw it I did a very dangerous double-take at the Cherry Hinton Road lights - like that moment in Ghostbusters when they first catch sight of the Marshmallow Man :)

I wish I could comment more intelligently on Daughter of Time, but, frankly, it has been maybe two years since I read it, and since I didn't care for it, I the details haven't stayed with me. One thing is simply that I'm not a mystery buff, so even these histroical novels cum mysteries don't do much for me. And I thought the book was rather poorly written style-wise. I wish I could recall more specifics about the historical inaccuracy that struck me as I read it--sorry! (I do think that if Henry likely played a role in the princes' deaths, the Richard II Society would be all over it.)

Love the profile pic btw - I guess we must be near-neighbours judging by this and your favourites!
