TBD on Ning

DECEMBER READS

Christmas is creeping close and I'm at least two months behind. This afternoon started a Kindle book involving a Golden Retriever on the flight home from Utah. Full flight! Excellent wheel chair service and great chats with others; most of whom were carrying books.

Just wanted to ask what you're reading this December. Hope we all find a bit of time in the midst of December to relax with our books. Please keep us posted!!!!!!!!

I ran across a little gem in my monthly Amazon Prime free book. It is called "The Ladies Room." http://www.amazon.com/The-Ladies-Room-Carolyn-Brown-ebook/dp/B00941... There is a plot involving symbolism, as a 40 year old dissatisfied housewife finds out that her husband has been philandering on her all their marriage. She inherits an old house and decides to move in and remodel it. She dumps her husband and decides to remodel her life. The handyman is the nerd from high school that she didn't marry. Great read for just $2.00 if you have a Kindle.

Thanks Mandy - sounded good so I ordered it - do not know how soon will be able to read it. Stacks of books awaiting. Reading Odd Thomas - at present - liking Dean Koontz more and more. Good luck on your trip Carolyn - wish I was escaping the cold weather too.

Needed something light, fun and captivating. Found on library new book shelf HOUNDED by David Rosenfelt. It's just what the doctor ordered. Can always count on Rosenfelt to deliver!

Thanx Rapa, Sounds like just what I'll need after Personal... just ordered it from the library.

Ah, yes, rapa. One of my favorites. And Rosenfelt is obviously a dog lover, so that puts him right at the top, in my book.

Interesting what everyone is reading! I have been trying to read several, switching back and forth. Havent been seeing any posts and finally had to just log into TBD and find Bookoholics.

Have a Happy Christmas everyone. (Or as the case may be Happy Hanukka!)

I'm reading Leaving Time and enjoying it right from the start. And I just heard from the library that Hounded is waiting for me to pick up... life is good. :)

CHEERS!!! You're in for two good reads! I gifted LEAVING TIME to a couple of friends for Christmas. It's a book one remembers. Enjoy!!!!

I haven't gotten to any of the bad elephant stuff yet...YIKES! My daughter said she skipped over it.

Hey, rapa. I just checked out the Goodreads site for Leaving Time and the first review gave it only one of five stars. The reviewer said she threw the book across the room at about mid-point. (A terrible thing to do with any book, don't you think?) She said it was a "hot mess." Then, a little further down the page three reviewers gave it five of five stars. Aren't differences of opinion great?

Actually, I have never read a Picoult novel. If I were to do so, where would you folks in Bookoholics think I should start?
