I have been on a Jodi Picoult kick for the last little bit. Since we read "My Sister's Keeper" with this book club, I've continued on with "Vanishing Act", "19 Minutes", "The Tenth Circle", "Perfect Match", and am now reading "Mercy".

Each of these books are really interesting and get you thinking about ethical situations from various points of view. My favorites thus far has been "Vanishing Act" and "19 Minutes".

However, I do think it's about time I change my choice of read. I'm finding it really hard to put aside the time to read, and it is taking me FOREVER to finish a book. I'm thinking that maybe a change in subject will get me interested in reading again. So after I finish "Mercy" I plan on starting a vampire series by Charlaine Harris - The Sookie Stackhouse Novels. I haven't read any of them yet, but I got a great deal on the set, and a friend of a friend recommended them, so all the better.

Anyways, I've missed you all very much, and I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything at all :-( I will be home from April 29 to May 9, so we will have to plan something so I can see you all!!!!! Supper, or coffee, or get together at someone's place... hopefully it will work out. Meg, I am working downtown from May 4-7, so maybe we can go for lunch...

Hey Lisa! :) You will be home for my wedding this July right?? Hope so! There is a TV series based on that book series, called Trueblood. I've watched the first season. It is really dark and out there but good. Let me know how you like them. I was thinking of picking them up too. Happy reading.

I have read a handful of that series, they were good but didn't move me to want to buy them or really continue with the series. They fall into the category of borrow not boy/second hand finds. Have not seen the series yet.

About lunch and coffees: YES! We'll try something and might just make one :)
