• The Ex Debutante by Linda Francis Lee

Loaned to me by my sister who wrote a review here . I thought it was amusing, with a lovable character, and a happy ending -- it was a fun read.

• Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

Again, loaned to me by my sister who wrote her review here. Really, really liked this book. I liked it a lot more than I had thought that I would. It follows 2 best friends throughout their life from the 60's to the 70's, to the 80's and into the 90's. Spoiler alert: I cried through the last couple of chapters which is a fairly good indication of how attached I got to the characters. Highly recommend.

• Lost Souls by Lisa Jackson

Murder mystery in the true sense of the word "who-done-it". A fairly good, quick read with some suspense and mystery.

• A Measure of a Man by Sidney Poitier

In the way of expanding my reading material is to add some biographies to my list. This was an interesting story. I do not have the same religious beliefs as Mr Poitier but you have to take away something from his tenacity and belief in bettering himself. He definitely has a story of triumph.

• The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Brilliant! A historical novel that takes place in the 12 century. It begins with mystery and character development that grabs you and does not let go. For 1000 pages I did not want to put it down and was sad when it came to an end (although I hear there is a follow up?) It was so gripping that you could just loose yourself in it. I loved it and can't wait to look for the sequel.
