    Hey Amie,
    I agree about Peeta...Who'd have thought that? I was shocked Prim died & so sad, too. It was a great series & I can't wait to see what else she comes up w/!!

    No, I've never been to Costa Rica, but when we lived on Cayman, a lot of our friends would take weekend trips there. It's beautiful (so they told me, LOL). WOW!!! Congrats on the marathon!!! You go, girl!! I can't run, LOL, too old w/ bad knees, but I do admire anyone who can. As for sipping yummy drinks in hot springs...Ahhh, now that I can do, & very well, too. =-)

    Take care & see you soon.

    Amie!!! Guess what was waiting for me when I went home after seeing you?! Yes, Mockingjay! Oh my goodness, I was surprised how it ended. I won't say anymore since I'm not sure if you're finished. I loved it though...Loved the whole series, & can't wait to see what she writes next.

    *looks up at shelf* Are you going to Costa Rica? Can I come, too? ;p

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    I may have to pass on it, since it's not at the library yet. I've started reading Emma. I have a collection of Jane Austin novels, but haven't read yet. I figured I would start with that one, since I haven't seen it in movie form. I am waiting on a couple books at the library, so this will occupy my time until then. Although, I may need reading glasses after I'm finished with Emma. The font is SO darned small, it's microscopic compared to the last few books I've read. :)

    You really have me curious with "The Skinny _itch"! I may have to read that one next, after I keep a promise to myself to read a classic first!

    The Sookie TV series (True Blood on HBO) is nothing like the books. The books are definately junk food, but great escapes, too. =)

    Ahhh, don't bother w/ I Know This Much...if you didn't like it! It just may not be your cup of tea.

    Now Outlander...*sigh* If you'll be at work tomorrow (Wed.), I'll drop off my copy.

    Hi, Amie. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view, a little controversial at times. It’s a story that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. A “must read” for those on a spiritual quest. You can read reviews at Amazon.com. I’m including here the publisher's notes. Let me know what you think.


    Book Description:
    Caleb, an elderly Jew, leaves the safety of his home in Cana on a mission to find a man he believes is in Jerusalem. Miriam, Caleb’s only remaining child, accompanies him disguised as a boy. In the desolation of the war struck Galilean countryside, father and daughter risk their lives to journey south on the Jordan River trail. As they walk, Caleb intrigues Miriam with a captivating story of his youth that will change her future destiny. A story of a time forty years prior when he became a sandal maker in order to observe a man some called the Miracle Worker. Caleb secretly kept notes of the events he saw and heard as he followed the crowds. With his objective, skeptical point of view, he reveals the fascinating ministry of the one he called the “Master.” Heart pounding perils and the threat of death endanger the two travelers, but nothing could foretell the fate awaiting them in Jerusalem!

    From the Publisher
    A. Michaelson's new novel, The Sandal Maker, takes the reader on a fascinating journey back to the year 70 A.D. in worn torn Palestine. The author creatively weaves two stories together, one in the present, the other in the past. Heartwarming, enlightening and tragic, The Sandal Maker paints a portrait of one man's life and his involvement in how the gospel came to be.

    Oooh, I see you're reading "Dead Until Dark". Do you like it? I have the series if you want to borrow them. I love the book Sookie much more than the TV series.
