You are a reader. I wish you lived in Houston and could be in our book club. Our book club is reading Bridge of Sighs this month and I am reviewing it. I am not a literary person but love to read a well written book as this is. I am at work at the moment–have given my home email address. We have read many of your books from 2008 and 2009 lists.

Hi Dee,
Thanks for stopping by the blog. I do enjoy reading and I enjoy good, thought provoking books. Good luck with your book club; they can be tricky at times, but they are so much fun!
