I just started At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks, a sequel to True Believer, and ditched it before the first chapter was finished. It just wasn't for me this week.
I am reading The Lemon Orchard by Luanne Rice. So far so good. I love the loyalty of the dog Bonnie. Reminds me of an old dog my DS has, that no matter what my son is doing, manages to get herself up and go with him.
Tell me about what you're reading this week.

It's been a slow reading week for me. I have been bingeing on Netflix! Hopefully there aren't too many shows left in the series, Suits, I have been watching! Must get back to my book!

Robin, I never did do thrillers or horror. But one of my DD's did.
Angela, enjoy Netflix, and get back to reading when you feel the need.

Hi ! I am Tammy. My DH and I travel about 9 months of the year in our rv. The winter months are usually spent in Houston. Right now we are on Prince Edward Island. Most of the tourist attractions here are related to Anne of Green Gables, which I have to admit I never read! I bought the book at a gift shop located at the birthplace of Lucy Maud Montgomery - the author. That is what I plan to read right away while we are still here. We will leave Thursday and be on our way to Quebec. I did start a trilogy by Susan Page Davis and it's called Maine Brides. I only read a couple of pages, so will get back to that when I finish this Anne book. I mainly read Christian fiction, some main stream chick lit too.

Tammy, I never read the Anne of Green Gables books, but did watch the movies, and they were awesome. Megan Fellows, Colleen Dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth were marvelous together --- as well as the rest of the cast.
Enjoy your time there.

Tammy, DD was in the drama club throughout high school and I loved when she was in Anne of Green Gables. We got her the movie as a remembrance. I loved the books when I read them a long time ago and hope you'll enjoy them too. Lori |

Halfway thru The 15th Affair by James Patterson and I have to say I'm getting real tired of the repeat story line of secrets between Lindsey and Joe. No marriage would ever last this way, nor would any mother leave their infant and work from 8 am to 11 pm 7 days a week. So I am struggling to get thru. I like the rest of the story but this part of this series has been repeated too often and he needs to move on from it! lol

Jolee , I just love the Louise Penny series. Although each book stands alone, she has developed the characters beautifully over the years.
I have read a lot of 'easy reading' murder mysteries over the last few months and I think I have read myself out. Taking a break right now although I do have a Jack Rescue story waiting for me.
Tammy, I only read Anne of Green Gables 2 or 3 years ago, after a friend of ours took part in a local production of the same.
Love to see what everyone else is reading. Some great recommendations come from threads like this.

After watching the Anne Of Green Gables movies several, well, many years ago I hinted how nice a gift the books would make. Yes, my husband picked up on the hint and I received the whole series as a birthday gift. I've read all the books and because of seeing the movies, which were very well done, it was easy to picture the characters and the landscape being described.
