I'm getting closer and closer to the end.. I read some before I went to bed last night.
I haven't seen "Where Rainbows End".. right now our B&N only has "PS" and "Love, Rosie". I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Heh, odd, I just reread Redwall for the, um, probably 6th or 7th time!

I've wanted to read that for a while. I hear it's amazing.


Right now I'm reading The Vanished Man by Jeffery Deaver. He writes thriller/crime novels with a big focus on forensics. It's really fascinating. I've read The Devil's Teardrop and The Bone Collector as well, and all are great. If you like forensics, read these.

Will do. Same for you with Kathy Reichs. I prefer her Temperence Brennen character over Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta anyday. I started off with Deja Dead and Fatal Voyage.

No problem. What I enjoy most about the books is that Kathy Reichs' full time job is being a forensic anthropologist, and she writes on the side. This means her writing is educated and detailed, but without being boring.
Let me know if you like them!

I'm an anthropology major myself, so I <3 forensic anthro! I reserved a copy of Deja Dead, so I can go pick it up tonight.

ETA: Jeffery Deaver's works, especially the Lincoln Rhyme novels, are more forensic pathology than forensic anth.

Usually I read textbooks too... but right now I'm on vacation and I am reading 'Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal'
My Spanish vocabulary is still very limited and I can really understand only about half the words, but somehow I'm able to follow what is going on anyways. Having seen the movie helps.

I've been reading the Heartland books by Lauren Brooke. I love them and I've read 7 out of 20 books so far. If you don't know what they are they're really good horsy books.

Well I went to the library last week and am reading my first Dean Koontz book, the Hideaway. I have only read the first few chapters but it is looking good


Also found Vicki Halls book Cat Detective which also looks good. I own her previous book Cat Confidential which was a good read.

Then next up is John Grishams The Brethren. So the next couple of weeks reading is sorted !

Are you reading anything interesting right now?
Holly, because of your post I bought both of these books and I absolutely loved PS, I love you and I did not want that book to end I read it within 2 days I could not put it down. I have just started reading Love, Rosie. If you have any more recommendations I would love to know!!! I spend a lot of time reading now because I hang with Bella most of the day!!
