I just read this cute book-murder mystery http://www.amazon.com/Atonement-Pau...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1294407886&sr=8-1 . I read it on my Nook so it is available for both Kindle and Nook. It takes place in MN so those are always fun to read.

I'm about halfway through Fearless by Max Lucado. Not everyone's cup of tea, I'm sure, but it was recommended to me, and it was only like $2 on my Nook.

I've started Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin. So far, I'm enjoying it.

I finished that last week and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Just finished Private Life by Jane Smiley. Yuk!

Now I'm reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Lots of science in it, but I'm enjoying it also.

I am also reading Unbroken and I am more than halfway thru it. (The hardest part for me to get thru was the actual combat. If you can get thru that, it does pick up)

As soon as I get off the chat boards, I'll be beginning Gary Taubes new book, Why We Get Fat.

I read a review on it this morning and thought it might be worth taking a look at.

I'm reading The Walking Dead Graphic Novel Compendium. I got it for myself for Christmas and I'm loving it.It's 1,000 pages so between the writing and the artwork, this book should keep me busy reading for a good long while.

And at 1,000 pages, you'll get a workout, too!

Got a Nook Color for Christmas & recently started using it to read The Magician's Assistant. I find that there are many typos/errors.

God was "Cod". You was "yob". One sentence contained the phrase "when he died" & it said "when he tied". I've found probably at least a half dozen errors, if not more.

Is this normal?

I have a kindle, I've read about 75 books on it, and no it's not normal.

I'm getting ready to begin a book that I just came across in the library. It's titled Neverland-J.M. Barrie, the DuMauriers, and the Dark Side of Peter Pan by, Piers Dudgeon.

I was intrigued because I love the book Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier and I just watched the movie Finding Neverland (?) with Johnny Depp playing J.M. Barrie. I had no idea that there was a dark connection between these families.The central characters are J.M. Barrie, George DuMaurier (creator of Svengali and Daphne's grandfather) and Daphne, the secret chronicler of her family's history.

Here are a few excerpts from the inner flap...
Neverland is a true story of genius and possession at a crossroads in time...two suicides, a hundred-year-old family secret, and a resentful interloper with a desire to control the fate of those he loved.

Neverland reveals in horrific detail how Barrie brought his victims to nervous breakdowns, early death, and suicide.

The author worked with Daphne on her book Enchanted Cornwall. When he discovered that she had put a moratorium on publication of her adolescent diaries until 50 years after her death, he was prompted to begin his research into her family's background. The result was Neverland.

Has anyone read this book? It sure sounds good...I'll let you know how it goes.
