I saw that you plan to read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I have started reading a book
called Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum. It has a different naration style but the themes and story are similar. I am having trouble putting it down to do other things.
Its worth having a look at in the library or your local book shop.
Hey Colleen,
Everything ok now.. got a good report from the Dr this morning.. all upwards from here
Thanks
Jenny
Hi Colleen
Sorry so late to reply. My hubby has been in hospital for a good portion of the last 2 months, so I have been a bit distracted. He is on the mend now so hopefully life will be a bit more normal.
Happy New Year to you.. hopefully you and your family are happy and healthy in 2012.
Happy reading my friend.
Jenny
Hi Colleen. I am showing friend this site. I keep forgetting to go on it. I think I should put it on my schedule! I'm busy adding books too. I'm reading rules of civility right now.
Hi Colleen. How are you enjoying Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet? I have recently bought it so wondered whether it was any good?

Hey Colleen, How are you..
Its been busy here.. and I have been busy reading too..
I am reading Shearwater at the moment by Andrea Mayes. It is set in Australia (in a fictional town) It is ok but I am not REALLY loving it...\\
The weather is quite cold here (for Australia) so I hope you are getting some warm weather over there.
Take care and I would love to hear from you soon..
Jenny
Hi Colleen, yes i did know Joe and Helen Klein, what a small world. There daughter works at Montmartre School, where i work as well. I am halfway through that book, i love it I plan on finishing it after Easter. How is the weather in alberta?
I found out today that a friend of mine has a copy of "Room" I will borrow it from her once I have finished reading Middlesex, which I started a couple of days ago.
I am out of my reading rut, which is really good.
Hope all is good with you.

Hi Colleen,
I agree.. we have been very luck where we are that it has only been hot weather. No disasters near us either. I feel so sad for people who have lost loved ones or homes etc in Japan, New Zealand or even Northern Australia!
No I havent read Room yet. I also havent really read anything REALLY great this year either. I did read Hanoi Stories by Pam Scott which was interesting but I wouldnt rave over it.
I am trying to read some of the books that I already have piled up at hoime before I get any more..
I am about to finish Constance by Rosie Thomas which was ok but again, not great. So I will look forward to something great to follow that up.
Take care and Happy Reading.. The Book of Negroes does look good..
Jenny
Hello,
Wondering how you are? It has started to cool down in Sydney now.. no more floods or cyclones lately either. I hope you are well and happy
Jenny
Havent read Room yet.. thanks for letting me know...
I have been thinking of yoiu since my last note. How do you manage to DO anything when the weather is so cold? There would have to be snow and ice at that temp and how do you go anywhere. Sorry for my ignorance but I have obviously led a very sheltered life in a city where we dont get that extreme weather.
Hope all is well with you.
Jenny
I have tears running down my cheeks from laughing. Unbelievable that you are freezing and we are melting!!!
Those books sound ok.. will have a look.
No I have not gone in for e-books yet.. we will say. I have to say that I love to have the books on my shelf.
Take care and chat soon
Jenny

Havent read anything really good lately.. but hoping the Christmas break will bring some great books.. how about you?

Hi-- we don't leave until Aug 14. We were pretty close to your house yesterday. Michael's AB volleyball team stays in Camrose for most of July. We drove in to take the boys back and forth to the Football game.
Chat soon.
