Books

Read some good books lately that I would recommend to you:

Expats - I listened to this and it was a good thriller about U.S. Citizens living in Europe and working. Do you really know your husband/wife? It's a whodunit and a thriller. Very good.

Carry The One by Carol Anshaw - It was suggested in Oprah Magazine and I read a good review of it in the New York Times this weekend. After a wedding, family members are involved in a car accident, and it affects them for the rest of their adult lives. Interesting read.

365 Thank yous - John Kralik - this book has been in so many news articles in the last couple of
months. It's about John whose life and law practice has taken a turn for the worse. He recalls that his grandfather told him about the value of being thankful and writing notes. He decides to write notes for a year--a nice reminder that handwritten notes are special all the while keeping the US Post Office in business.

The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach - loved it, and we are reading it in Book Club this month. I may have already written about it.

Stay Close by Harlan Coben - just a nice read - love Harlan Coben's books. Mystery.

How often do you see a 3-car garage? Wouldn't it be great to have all that space for cars and stuff?

Book Recommendation - Defending Jacob



I read this book this week--pretty fast read. It's a most interesting story about family relationships when tragedy strikes. The father is an Asst. District Attorney, and his teen-age son is accused of murder. So the trial begins. Father, Mother, and son all have life stories which make a good read. I recommend it.
