Have you seen the movie yet??
I saw it today, and I really liked it. Would have liked it more
if they would have put Dumbledore's funeral/memorial at the end with the new prime minister talking to Harry and Harry rebuffing him.
Mrs-MSmith198025 - What did you think about When the Wind Blows and the followup, The Lake House? I've read these two several times but can't for some reason bring myself to read the Maximum Ride series. My copy of When the Wind Blows is getting pretty worn but I'll never replace it as its a signed copy by Patterson.
I enjoyed both of those very much. They are actually two of my favorite Patterson books. I have read them both a few times, although not recently.
I read the series, but honestly wasn't very impressed with it. They weren't bad, but they weren't nearly as great as When the Wind Blows and The Lake House..
I just finished Violets are Blue, Patterson, and went to pick up more of his books at the library. They had the 8th Confession waiting for me. It says on the front inside flap of the book that this book is the only installment for the Murder Club this year. What's up with that?
I also got Along Came a Spider, Lake Road, The Lake House and Cross. Hope these are all good.
How is The Host coming along, Mrs. Smith? I am still six people away from it being my turn, so that's at least another six weeks if no one renews it. Crazy!

Wow, that is crazy! I am almost finished with it. It is definitely a unique story, but I really like it!
I finished the 8th Confession yesterday. It was good. Sucks that it's the only Murder Club book that will be out this year.
I started Along Came a Spider. HiFi keeps making cracks at me that I'll need to go back to the library this weekend. Guess we'll see.

Finished Along Came A Spider, it was messed up, but so good. Started Cross today, I'm about half way through. I think I'm going to try and rent Along Came A Spider with Morgan Freeman in it. Just to see if it is as good as the book was.
Cross is good one as well!
As for as Along Came a Spider, I don't think the movie is as good as the book; but then again I never do!

I just got The Host by Meyer. Only have a week to read it, so I'll have to stay off of the computer to get it read.
David McCullough mentioned that trip in his bio of Truman, but like most everything else in his book, it's short and sweet -- well researched, with a ton of insight from letters and memos, but reads much like a textbook. If he had been more literary with the narration I think it would have been a true classic. But I enjoyed it because Truman faced a lot of the same problems that Obama faces now -- economy, divided Congress, unpopular war -- and I'm a political junkie as a hobby and occupation.
Two other great presidential bios -- "Traitor to His Class", FDR bio by H.W. Brands; and "Reagan - the Role of a Lifetime" by Lou Cannon.
I'm having a hard time getting into The Host. I may have to renew it, it's definitely not as engaging as the Twilight series was, well to me anyway.
I completely agree. It was nothing compared to Twilight. It took me a few weeks to finish the Host.
Had to call and renew The Host, I'm not glued to it like I usually am when I read a book. It's slow, but the story isn't bad.
My mom just bought Patterson's latest, The Trail of Alex Cross. I am just waiting on her to finish it so I can get my hands on it!
I'm on the waiting list for that and one other, but I don't remember what it is. Thanks for recommending him, I really like his books!
I took back The Host. I tried getting into it more, but it was going to take me forever. I think I'll check it out again when it's not in high demand, maybe later this year.
What is everyone currently reading? I am reading "Alex Cross' Trial" by James Patterson. It is not your typical Patterson read, however I am really enjoying it.
