06/15/09 03:33 PM BCC Zen Bookie Master	No Jill, I haven't seen that book nor read it but it sounds intriguing. It sounds also like Harlan Coben's recent books at least in broad outline. Do you agree? Or haven't you read his latest ones? Betsy Taking allergy pills is like having Snow White multiple personality disorder.

06/15/09 08:56 PM BCC Zen Bookie Master	I'm excited; I just ordered a signed first edition of the new Ruiz Zafon! Yes that means I haven't started yet but am still enjoying Secret Scripture.

06/16/09 09:51 AM BCC ZEN BOOKIE COOKIE Administrator	Bets, the only folks who have begun the Zafon have gotten ARCs as far as I know--I think it was just released. And nope, haven't read any other Barclay's yet. What the heck mystery did I send you then? I thought that Barclay was the one.

06/16/09 09:58 PM	I'll have to look around for some noms. I'm glad we have until Saturday. My mother's day B&N gift card was calling to me, so I ran over there after work and got the Ian Pears and a knitting classic by Montse Stanley. Oh, and one of those cute moleskin books for my knitting journal. Love your quote Betsy! Mary Reading: Angel's Game and The World Over - Julia Glass

06/16/09 11:05 PM BCC Zen Bookie Master	I wrote to my favorite Mystery Bookstore for some suggestions but they really weren't much help. Darn! I will look through my collection and come up with some ideas soon after our neighborhood "field trip" to Singing Winds Bookstore. I'm the guide for the day and it's eating up more time than I previously thought it would. Soon! Betsy Taking allergy pills is like having Snow White multiple personality disorder.

06/17/09 01:27 AM BCC ZEN Bookie MASTER	Jill, I asked about noms only because we're running out of books, not because I actually had anything to contribute! Actually, I have such tunnel vision about my stupid "summer reading" list that I can't even think about next Tuesday, let alone August. You can tell how long this is going to last, can't you?

06/17/09 07:04 AM BCC ZEN BOOKIE COOKIE Administrator	Betsy, don't ask others for goodness sake. The whole point of being anointed Mystery Maven is that they appreciate YOUR taste. My personal choice would be to turn to a reliable author since we've had some disappointers, relaible as in Ruth Rendell, Anne Perry, or (my choice) Minette Walters. We all liked the Val McDermid that time, so trust yourself. Reading: Chinese Whispers, Peter May; Secret Scripture Finished: The Scarecrow, Connelly

06/17/09 11:52 AM BCC ZEN BOOKIE COOKIE Administrator	Has anyone read RUN by Ann Patchett (Bel Canto)? I'm thinking about nominating it because it sounds interesting and I liked Bel Canto a lot, but I thought I'd check in and see what folks think of it.

06/17/09 01:18 PM BCC ZEN Bookie MASTER	Jill, I read Run with my face group last year. None of us thought it even came close to Bel Canto.
