This morning read Winter Street by Elin Hilderbrand. Very good quick read.

Pianomama, I've read all of the Chelsea Cain books. I thought "ONE KICK" was pretty good. "HEARTSICK" is the first book in her Archie and Gretchen series. This author seems to have a bit of a dark side to her, as all of her books have some gruesome and violent scenes.

I just finished The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. I've had it on my Kindle forever and I finally decided to read it. A little overlong but very enjoyable. I love that so many of the classics are available as free downloads from Amazon.

I just started Personal by Lee Child. This is my first Jack Reacher book and I hope that isn't going to matter too much in following the plot. I did see the Jack Reacher movie so I'm familiar with the character. And I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I really liked Tom Cruise in the movie, even if he wasn't physically right for the part.

If you don't like PERSONAL, don't give up on the author. I'm a Lee Child fan but didn't care much for that book:/

Thanks, tansy. I read some other reviews that said this wasn't his best. I'm up to chapter 8, which isn't that far because the chapters are short. I'll probably read it all eventually.

I finished The Blood of an Englishman (the latest Agatha Raisin) and was pleasantly surprised. I liked it more than the last few I read. I'm always happy when she includes Sir Charles Fraith in the plot.

I'm still reading Personal (Jack Reacher) and just started The Rosie Project (Graeme Simsion).

Smoky, I read "THE ROSIE PROJECT" a while back, and thought it was really cute. They're going to make a movie out of it too. I liked the Agatha Raisin book as well.

I decided to take a break from Agatha Raisin and read RANGE OF MOTION by Elizabeth Berg. I enjoy this author, but I am surprised I was able to read this story about a wife who's husband is in a coma, and her relationship with her family and neighbor. I am glad it was a Kindle library loan.

Finished Ellen Sussman's A Wedding In Provence. A quick read about a 2nd marriage with a couple in their early 50's and their families. For a wedding that was supposed to be about a Jewish family, even though they weren't religious or didn't really embrace Judaism, the one daughter didn't even know what a chuppah was, or what it stood for, and had to google it.

Going to read Rebecca Rotert's Last Night At The Blue Angel next.

I just discovered something. I periodically check amazon to see if there's a new book by my favorite authors. So I see up in the corner, 'email me if there are any new books by this author'! I was so happy. This makes it so much easier. Or did you know this? I may be a day late and a dollar short.

Thanks for letting me know. My list will be long then. LOL There used to be a website that used to do this but it became extinct.
