    Chris Bohjalian was the one that wrote "Midwives," right? That was a VERY compelling story. I'll have to look into "Skeletons At the Feast." Thanks for the ideas!

    Hi Jill! I'll be interested to hear what you think about The Book Thief. I thought narration by Death was really different and cool. Devil in the White City was fascinating - especially if you're into historical fiction and the planning of BIG events (World's Fair in Chicago). I'm waiting on When You Go Up In Smoke, David Sedaris' new memoir, from the library. Will let you know how it goes.

    Have you read Digging to America. I am going to have to get Patty Jane's House of Curl. I enjoyed Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons. I'm reading the Donna Leon mysteries set in Venice right now. Great characters. I also started The Friday Knitting Club, but am not impressed.

    Patty Jane's House of Curl was by far my favorite Lorna Landvic book. SO charming! I also enjoyed Your Oasis on Flame Lake. I noticed you're reading The Book of Bright Ideas. That was a cute one. Can't remember the name of the little blonde fashionista with the mermaid hair, but she's a HOOT! Looking forward to your review:)
