I just finished reading, Fast Track by Fern Michaels....Another about the women, known as the vigilantes.....It's too bad there isn't a group of women like these, in real life....They sure do take of care things.....
Now I'm reading, John Grisham's, "The Litigators" and Kathryn Stockett's, "The Help"....Jim read the Grisham book 1st and loved it.....

I just picked up "The True Love Quilting Club" by Lori Wilde at the library for .25
Can't get any better than that!!! A new author for me. Hope it is good.

Just finished reading "The Help" and it was excellent.....Funny in parts and of course sad, just thinking that this sort of thing happened.....

Oh Dorothy! I really want to read "The Help", too!! I wonder if I can get it at the library? If they have made a movie, then it must have been on the shelves for awhile...

Joanne, I had to put my name of the reserve list but it didn't take too long for them to call.....It is a good book and it's the author's 1st one, I believe......Hope you get it soon.....

Just finished "The Litigators" and it is excellent.....Well worth the wait on the reserve list......
Do any of you ever get that "let down" feeling after reading a great book and then wondering about the next?
I always have a couple books going all the time but when you get a good one, it's really hard to go back to the mundane.....
Happy reading............

I just read The Dollmaker, too. I also enjoyed it. Since I grew up in Detroit, I wish my Mom and Dad were still alive so I could ask them if they ever saw any communities like in the book. I was only 5 years old when the war ended.

I have several other books on my Kindle, but can't seem to get into any of them. Always enjoy seeing all of your suggestions.
