Ooh, that is on my list to read soon. I've been putting it off just because I haven't been in the mood for something that long. Glad to see you liked it though.

Charleen, I've read "Gone With the Wind" several times. The first was when I was a teen-ager. I have seen different things in it and have related to it quite differently at the various stages of my life.

49. Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story by Gregg Lewis, 4/5 stars, 142 pages.

I read the adaptation for tweens/teens that was based on the original. I was sort of previewing this for my 12-year old son and I do think he will like it. But now I definitely want to read the original!

50. Lion of Babylon by Davis Bunn, 5/5 stars, 378 pages

51. Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat by David Dosa, 5/5 stars, 240 pages. GREAT book. I learned so much about dementia and end-of-life issues and saw how impactful having something "normal" like a cat can be for patients, family, and nursing home staff. Surprisingly NOT a downer to read.

52. Rare Earth by Davis Bunn, 4/5 stars, 368 pages. Same plot formula as Lion of Babylon. Still good, but basically same story different place.

Thanks, Andrea. I'm starting to get my feet back under me . . . the worst is over, I'm thinking. Maybe this will have been my life's "perfect storm".

I'm so sorry for all you have gone through, if you need anything at all I am here for you 100%

Thanks! You're the best.

Kay,
The earlier Hamish books are delightful. And full of fun. And several of the later ones are also very well done. I can't recall Death of a Dreamer offhand, but I do know that they got rather dark towards the end. She is still writing them and I may read the next one, but if it is anything like what the very last one was like, I will be finished with Hamish. Which is a shame, because I loved this series so much.
So neat to see that you have read a bunch that are on my TBR list from my Kindle. Next year my goal is to read almost exclusively from there and so I know that I will get some of them read.

I have no idea what is going on in your life, but I too am here if you ever need a friend. I think of you often [we miss you in our little group of women that you started] and hope that whatever trials you have had as of late, that they are all over and that you have a wonderful holiday season and a blessed new years!!!

Thanks, Dawn Michelle. It's so nice to hear from you!

See, we all just love you Kay :)

LOL, Andrea - and thanks!

62. The Case of the Stuttering Bishop by Erle Stanley Gardner, 3/5 stars, 227 pages

(18,283 pages read in 2012)

It was a slower reading year for me - but still, 62 books ain't all that bad!

On to a better 2013, I'm hoping, in all aspects of my life!
