Off topic: good reads

While I've read a lot lately, (being too stressed to craft in any way shape or form) but there only a few outstanding books.

First Poison Study (Maria Snyder - fantasy). Young woman, about to be hanged for murder becomes the Commander's latest food tester. OH WOW, what a great world. I can hardly wait to get my hands on the next book - Magic Study.

Archangel (Sharon Shinn - fantasy). Is it the Biblical Lands recreated as fantasy? Another world, created in it's image? I can't tell, but I'll read more of the series. I also like her 12 Houses series.

Angry Wives Eating Bon Bons. (Lorna Landvik - chick lit) Ok - I rarely read chick lit, but this story of neighbors, friends and their 30 years of book club is a great read. I'll actually go read other things of hers.

I am currently listening to the audiobook of Lorna Landvik's _Patty Jane's House of Curl_. I'm a little more than halfway and it's pretty good. Not the laugh riot the cover purports, but amusing in parts.

I read Angry Housewives this summer, and really did enjoy it. I haven't read any of the others though -- when I go to buy one, the synopses just don't sound as interesting.

For those who have read her books, what would you recommend as the best one?

Oh - thanks for reminding me about the mail. I'll see Bobbie V in the AM and quick lunch with another girlfriend. Then home for a light dinner.

You should try the CA - I th> I keep missing her. I know I'm supposed to, but always get sidetracked
