The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards is a good read. I read it last weekend and it really held my interest. The young wife of a young doctor gives birth in a snowstorm, and the ramifications of that last for a generation. Most of the book is set in the 1950's and 1960's.

Karen, every now and then I pick up the book and remind myself of how alike we all really are. WE just follow different roadmaps.

Right now I am reading Audition by Barbara Walters. I really like it, quite historical.

I just finished "Scarpetta" by Pat Cornwell. It's the latest in her series about Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner who has gone from Richmond, VA to NYC and Boston. This is the type of book I love-mystery and ongoing so I really get to know the characters.

I recently finished "Made from Scratch: Reclaiming the Pleasures of the American Hearth" by Jean Zimmerman and really enjoyed it. It's part history, evolution of "home-making" and discussion of the paradox many of us are in, using modern "conveniences" but trying to keep ahold of "home-made" or "hand-made". (almost made me want to clean the house...but nah, I'll stick to quilting!)

I recently finished listening to Widow of the South by Robert Hicks. It's a Civil War fiction book based on a real person, Carrie McGavock, living in Franklin, TN.

I listened to a book yesterday that made me laugh out loud; Lady Be Good by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. A light read but fun.
