I agree with bucsnpats........I loved Montana Sky! The lifetime movie was good and at times humorous the way 2 of the sisters fought. I know it's hard to cram a book into a 2 hour movie, but they did a good job and i wished they could have maybe made it a longer movie.

I just finished reading "The Other Boleyn Girl." It was a really great historical fiction novel about the rivalry between Anne Boleyn and her sister Mary for King Henry's hand in marriage. You really get an understanding for how women were viewed during that time...basically like pawns in a game. I highly recommend reading this and hear they are coming out with the movie version starring Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johanssen and Eric Bana this December.

That was the first book we read for the Book Club!!

If you liked that one, there is The Queens Fool, The Virgin's Lover, The Constant Princess....and the Boleyn Inheiritance!!!

That'll keep you busy... ...I am up the The Constant Princess. They are ALL great books!!

I like romantic suspense so I'm reading White Heat by Cherry Adair. I'm also on the wait list for the newest books from Sandra Brown and Nora Roberts.

I'm not a big reader, but I am reading Dr. Phil's Life Strategies. Lord knows I need an attitude adjustment, and I'm hoping this book gives me some insights. We'll see!

Because college ruined me and I can no longer read just one book at a time ...

I'm reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Baraba Kingsolver. Great book and makes me look for ways I can eat more locally.

A book about being a stay at home mom. I forget the title. Some of the chapters have been great for me while some are so-so.

A gardening book from the 70's.

And I just finished Ahab's Wife - which I'm having mixed thoughts about. Parts were good but towards the end I was just hoping it would hurry up and finish.

Looks interesting!
Just finished up this book last night......mostly because i skipped over alot of the chapters. It was not what i thought it was going to be. It wasn't a bad book if you enjoy the scientific explanations of how and why tornadoes are formed and cause such damage. I though it was more of a story about the victims of that deadly tornado, there were a few personal stories but it was mostly about the history of meteorology and the Fujita scale of tornadoes.
