 I've not been on here in a while. I've been trying to focus on work and family--the important stuff. I have gotten a good bit of reading done, though. Here's what I've read in the last couple of weeks:

Paperbag Christmas - get this book and read it! Simple story but so heartwarming.

The Shepherds' Prayer - a little bit of imaginative storytelling on what things might have been like for those around Bethlehem when Jesus was born. A little simplistic, but enjoyable quick read.

Divine Justice by David Baldacci - another "OMG, I hope none of this is really true" kind of thriller. Further adventures of John Carr, aka Oliver Stone, and the Camel Club. Good book.

Cross Country by James Patterson - this continuing story of detective Alex takes him to Nigeria, Darfur and Sierra Leone and exposes the horrors there. Not for the squeemish. Much of this, I'm afraid, is true to life.

Now, I'm going to read the classic I promised myself I'd read this year--Jane Austin, Pride & Prejudice.

Happy reading!

 Just have to say that I'm reading the Camel Club series right now & OMG! I'm loving it! I'm reading "The Collectors" right now. Just finished "The Camel Club" last week. I had read "Stone Cold" a few months back and that's what got me hooked on the series. I'm excited to know that it's not just a trilogy.

I also LOVE reading James Patterson!

I'm finishing up reading The Red Tent & listening to Kabul’s Beauty School: An American woman goes behind the veil by Deborah Rodriguez.

 I read the Red Tent, and didn't quite like it. I had a hard time finishing. I also read Kabal's beauty school, I did enjoy this one. Such a shame things like this are still going on.
