Wow! I didn't realize it had been that long since I had last posted on my blog here. I'll have to get back on track here, but for now here are my thoughts on these books. I've read some books since Feb 1st:
"Bleeding Kansas" by Sara Paretsky--pretty good story, but sometimes dragged in the middle as well
"Scarpetta" by Patricia Cornwell--a little slow in the middle, but redeemed itself at the end.
"My Antonia" by Willa Cather--very good book, definitely read it if you haven't, Cather's writing was very good and the novel generated a lot of good discussion with my book group (see lovestoeatlovestoread.blogspot.com)
"Just One Look" by Harlan Coben--fun mystery that I listened to on the way to work
