Judith, I love McCammon's books. Lots of good reading.

I'm still working my way through The Wheel of Time. I'm enjoying it a lot more than I did last time I read it. Jordan was a good writer. I suspect that last time I read the books I was skim-reading, speed-reading, which I often did when I was still working. Since I retired I've slowed down my reading, and it makes a difference.

I finished Scalzi's The Human Division and The End of All Things and hope to get the 7th in the series very soon. In the meantime, I'm reading The Personals: The Human Stories Behind the Small Ads by Brian O'Connell.

Nearly finished the latest Scalzi book. I think anone that enjoyed the earlier novels will enjoy this.

I started Dust and Shadow, a Jack the Ripper Sherlock Holmes book. I have only read the prologue so far.

I finished The Shattering Peace last night. It did not disappoint in any way. I wonder if Scalzi intends this one to end the series. It would be appropriate, but I could hope for more. In the meantime, there are more of his books I haven't read yet and other authors' stories crying for my attention. Life is good!

I am reading Thinner by Richard Bachman/Stephen King. The last time I read it was about 40 years ago so it's like a new book for me.

Oh, that's a creepy one, Marian!

I had to look "Thinner" up as I never heard of it. Sounds interesting!

Yes, it is creepy - and yes, it is interesting.

Marian, I remember it being pretty creepy, but it's been that long since I read it too. Need to see if I still have it somewhere.

I finished Making the Best of What's Left: When We're Too Old to Get the Chairs Reupholstered by Judith Viorst. I've read a couple of her funny "decade" books over the years, and although I'm still (only) in my 7th decade, I enjoyed her writing as she's navigating her 9th.

Right now I'm ensconced in Alliance Rising by C. J. Cherryh and Jane S. Fancher. It has been a long time since I read Downbelow Station, Cyteen, and the other books in the Alliance-Union universe, but this book has reminded me that It's time to reread them.

I'm finally past the logjam of the fourth, fifth and sixth books in the WOT series, and am back to really enjoying it now that the story is moving along again. Jordan sure did like to make much ado about nothing for hundreds of pages.

Just started Cell by Robin Cook, I love his medial thrillers.

I finished Alliance Unbound, the second book in the Cherryh/Fancher series. About halfway through the book, I knew they weren't going to make it a duology, which means I have to wait for the next one to be published. The ongoing story is very good, and I really want to find out what happens next.

Right now I'm reading a captivating story called A Short Walk Through a Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke. It's one that I don't want to put down. Telling myself "just one more chapter" isn't working at all.
