I'll have to check out Pastwatch - thanks for the suggestion, Madeline!<br /><br />I just bought "The Girl in the Red Coat" which is a Holocaust book written by the woman who WAS the girl in the red coat in the film "Schindler's List." I got it at Costco. I'll let you know how it is. I'm fascinated with the Holocaust (is that bad - to be fasinated with something so horrific?) since my father liberated a concentration work camp in Germany when he was a soldier in WWII. His experiences in that war shaped all of my family's lives.<br /><br />Love your blog!Julie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043237356341192784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193708121568514184.post-81196207723297967372009-12-05T21:05:18.755-05:002009-12-05T21:05:18.755-05:00Love the book reviews!

Can't wait for the next book, need to know how it all turns out for Katniss.Pam Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191429511578565705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193708121568514184.post-88531139519976944762009-12-04T15:10:37.043-05:002009-12-04T15:10:37.043-05:00Oh, Jenn, I love it.

And then I feel guilty for the pile of library books I don't have time to read. I worry is there someone out there who could be enjoying them if I weren't hording them? Agree with Madeline- don't think enchantment is his best, but Pastwatch was one of the few I really, really recommend. I love Monte Cristo, too!

I've read the abridged and loved it- I don't feel like I missed a thing (although I do wonder what is in those extra 700 pages???) Glad I'm not the only one with a pile. I'm currently trying to read "The Book Theif". This is the second time I've checked it out (going on week 8 that I've had it) but having trouble finding time to read!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225557966588182353noreply@blogger.com
