Niceheart received this email from Barbara:
Please read Billie Letts’ book, Where the Heart Is. It is a fast read, well written, and will touch your heart. Her new book, Made in the USA, just received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly. Her son, Tracy Letts, just won the Pulitzer Prize for his play, “August: Osage County.” And it’s been nominated for seven Tony Awards, including best drama. A very talented family. I should know. Billie is my cousin!!!

Hi Barbara.
Thanks for the recommendation. Billie’s book will be number 3 on my list then. I’m reading Angels & Demons right now, and then I will follow it with The Kite Runner. Billie has indeed a very talented family.
Regards.

I just finished reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard today. Read it in three sittings, two had I not been too tired last night.
I bought two books yesterday. Saw a pocket book size of Confessions of a Shopaholic at Superstore. Books there are always at 25% off, so I only paid $8.23. Then I saw two books of Jodi Picoult at the top ten bestsellers which are selling for 40% off. I picked Change of Heart, $11.99.

Well, another update on the list. I saw the pocket-size edition of Shopaholic Takes Manhattan and decided to buy it and read the sequel to Confessions. I’ve already started reading it.
I also saw a copy of Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye at this second hand book store. So that would be next on my list.

Bought 3 books yesterday at the Book Fair on Portage Avenue: Shopaholic Ties the Knot, Shopaholic & Sister, The Reader (saw the movie). I won’t update the list yet. But I might read The Reader when I finish The Bluest Eye. Started re-reading HP and the Order of the Phoenix, btw. So, am reading 2 books right now.

I’ve enjoyed your blog. Thank you. Have you been to goodreads? You might enjoy that too. Have you read the childrens’ book series “The 39 Clues”"?
Just wondered what your opinion might be on them for a ten year old. Please join me on my blog where you will find a link to goodreads and a list of my library. I would love to discuss books with you. My latest book, which I don’t see on your list was “Ella Minnow Pea” by Mark Dunn?
Here is a short review for you:

Ela Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn
This was a very fun book to read about a very serious subject. Without giving away the topic of the book, it takes a look at several major societal problems; censorship, idol worship, greed, and the ability of the few to control the many to the point of the ridiculous, although it happens all the time. However, this book uses something near and dear to the hearts of all readers, the alphabet, to make the point.. Please buy and enjoy this very well written book.
