Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure I want to add it to my TBR read. If anyone does read it, though, I'd love to hear about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-14258328703331118052007-04-12T13:35:00.000-04:002007-04-12T13:35:00.000-04:00Are we going to read THE SECRET for our July meeti...Are we going to read THE SECRET for our July meeting??

It's about manifesting and how your thoughts create your world. Very interesting. I think it's somehow connected to THE SECRET, premiered on Oprah.<BR/><BR/>I saw Denny make fun of THE SECRET on Boston Legal several nights ago. It was really funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-21748815601239790272007-04-12T09:31:00.000-04:002007-04-12T09:31:00.000-04:00I'm reading THE FALLEN by T.

A really really good book about a cop who falls from a 6th floor window and survives, but due to the fall, now has synesthesia--he sees colors and shapes when people speak--colors and shapes that relate to the speaker's emotions and can show whether or not they are speaking the truth. Very interesting.DebbyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325470774742194024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-59328278567076208792007-04-12T08:31:00.000-04:002007-04-12T08:31:00.000-04:00Gee, thanks, Lisa.

I hope the rest of the book holds up.<BR/><BR/>Annette, I think Lisa S is doing good stuff with her protagonists these days.--Very strong women with big flaws they must struggle to overcome. Male protagonists have been this complex for a long time--but where in the sand does a female character draw the line of distastefulness? Can she be troubled, flawed----and still be appealing enough to carry a book? I think Lisa's creating some very compelling female characters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-65086937051522735332007-04-12T08:28:00.000-04:002007-04-12T08:28:00.000-04:00I just started reading Lisa Scottoline's Daddy's G...I just started reading Lisa Scottoline's <I>Daddy's Girl</I>. So far, it's great. The characters are interesting and the situation Scottoline puts them in is unique. Like Nancy, I only give a book 50 pages before I toss it aside. I'll make it to the end of this one, for certain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-47920322114464910522007-04-12T07:34:00.000-04:002007-04-12T07:34:00.000-04:00Nancy, I agree wholeheartedly about DIRTY BLONDE. ...Nancy, I agree wholeheartedly about DIRTY BLONDE.
