Just read "Nightime is my time" by Mary Higgins Clark. Every time I read her books I'm excited all over again at what a great writer she is!

I just finished "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen. I know the movie is out but I think I'll wait till I can get it from Netflix.
I've been reading J.A. Jance books lately...pretty good.

I finished, An Innocent Man by John Grisham (non fiction) and now I'm reading one of the Stephanie Plum stories....BYW, "An Innocent Man" was a true story, which is a rarity for Grisham, but it was excellent....

Joanne, I feel the same way about Mary Higgins Clark, love her books....

Irish, I've read all the Stephanie Plum books and there are LOTS of them! They are more contempory than I normally like, but I enjoyed them!

Grammie..let me know which books you are looking for...I have several of them.

I've been reading the cozy mysteries by Rett MacPherson...Torie O'Shea is the lead character..she's a genealogist, quilt collector, historian and president of the historical society in a small town in Missouri. They are very quick reads and I love them!!
