New Year New booklist

I am currently reading The Red Tent by Anita Diamante which is very good and interesting. I don't know much about the Old Testament culture and find it pretty fascinating.

My next read is Ice Station by Matthew Reilly for my ACS book club.


Over the Holidays I received quite a few book gifts, trades, and bargains.

Something Rotten by Jasper Fforde - bargain bin
(4th in a series called Thursday Next novels)

The Witching Hour and Lasher by Ann Rice -- trade
See No Evil by Robert Baer -- bookmooch trade
(the movie Syriana is based on this book)

Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg - gift
The Other Bolyen Girl by Phillippa Gregory - gift
Butch Cassidy: A Biography by Richard Patterson - gift
Rhett Butler's People by Donald McCaig- gift


"So many books, so little time"

Update: I did not read more than about 10 pages in The Witching Hour but I do intend to, as I received it in trade to put on my To Be Read (TBR) list.
I did not finish The House of Spirits while it was a good book, it just dragged so much I felt I needed some light reading thus my plunge into The Mist and Skipping Christmas, and Memory Keepers Daughter.
