So....

What books did you get for Christmas?

Here's my list:
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (quite possibly a book club pick for next year!)
The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson

Our Lace Reader review

I submitted it finally to Falise of the 24/8 book club. Here is an excerpt from her email in reply:

Thank you for taking this on with your busy life and the group as well. We will definitely be back next year with a book for the group.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

So it looks like we can do this again next year, if you are interested!

Twilight, The Movie

Just wanted to see what everyone thought about the movie!?! I went this afternoon, but as you know I don't like to share my thoughts, feelings and opinions. Ha!

Download a novel for free

The Reincarnationist

Until October 31, you can download this novel for free. (Click on the link above to access it.) I have not read it, so I cannot say whether it is good, bad, or ugly. She is giving it away for free because she wants to get you hooked on the series so you will continue with book 2, The Memorist, coming out on November 1st.

From what I have read online, it resembles DaVinci Code. She has written other novels that were described on Amazon as erotic thrillers. Readers on Amazon find this novel to be "a gripping roller-coaster ride," "an ambitious novel that keeps the pages turning," and "absolutely brilliant." I found no mention of eroticism in the description of this book, but I have not done extensive research!

November Pick

Our November pick is The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. I did find a website for the book (http://www.lacereader.com/) where you can read a piece of lace and even download a copy of the Lace Reader's Guide. I'm thinking second income...
