Picked up three new books at the library today: "THE TRIAL" by James Patterson, which is a 110 page Bookshot novella in the Women's Murder Club series; "KILLER LOOK", the new book from Linda Fairstein; and "LITTLE GIRL GONE" by Gerry Schmitt, which is the author Laura Childs (of the cozy Teashop mystery series) writing a harder-edge mystery under her actual name.

I remember seeing the movie years ago. I'm not sure why I finished the book, but I would give it a solid two stars.
@smoky22, good review, got it! LM

@mcbet, I know exactly what you mean and, for me, I find it very hard to go back to something I PTB on. My loss I know but I hardly ever do. LM

I "forced" myself to finish "Modern Lovers". I thought there has to be a story somewhere in here! Not one of my favorites!
Sitting at the pool these last few weeks, I've been doing a lot of reading. Here is what I've read in the last 2 weeks:
A Certain Age - Beatriz Williams
Waited for this book for quite a while - I found it to be just okay.
If I Forget You - Thomas Christopher Greene
OMG, I read this book in 5 hours last Friday at the pool! Okay, not as long as War & Peace, but I really enjoyed it.
Almost finished with: The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell.
happy reading!

I got The Black Widow by Daniel Silva from the library today. I just started it. I dare not read too long or I won't be able to get up to go to church tomorrow!
Did anyone ever read any oldie Girl of the Limberlost? I don't know why it came to mind. I read it years ago as a young girl. I think I inherited it from my grandmother. It was a good book.

Finished A Shoe Addict's Christmas (GR ARC) by Beth Harbison, about a woman who meets her "guardian angel" in a shoe store where she works and gets stranded on Christmas Eve during a snowstorm. It was cute.
Onto Jacqueline Woodson's Another Brooklyn. A new author for me; won this ARC through a book website.
