10. Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult

I finished my fourth book yesterday. It was The Nanny by Melissa Nathan. I liked alot and some of it was very funny and even the conversation was a bit witty. The story is about Jo who moves to London to nanny a family and still tries to maintain her relationship with her boyfriend, which is really ending but Jo is not ready to face it. Of course she falls in love with another guy in London. I am just not sure I like how the author let Jo's best friend really used Jo to get to the boyfriend. It just became very predictable as if I was watching a soap opera show. Now on to my next book, than I will be half way done.

A Giveaway for October

Everybody knows October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. My family and I have been blessed of not having to deal with breast cancer. However, a stitcher in one of my Yahoo groups had just lost her life to cancer yesterday. I hardly knew the woman but it has effected me in the last 24 hours. It is so important to get a mammogram, because it can save your's or a love one's life. As I was reading my friends' blogs, I came across this giveway the stitcher is doing for this month. So I am helping her by posting her giveway on my blog. Here is her link to go to her blog.

Trip to Barnes and Noble

I had went to Barnes and Nobles on Friday, mainly to pick up the Christmas ornament magazine. I do not like Starbucks so I got a pumpkin coffee from Dunkin Donuts and brought it with me to the bookstore. I looked at the magazine and while I was there, I picked up the two books for the book challenge. Now I did not finish reading a book, but I am reading two at the same time. I am keeping one on the kitchen table and read when I am cooking or having something to eat, when noone else is at the table. For Book 9 I am reading Remember Me? from Sophie Kinsella. I love her Shopaholic books and this looked really good. It is about a high maintence career woman who loses her memory of the last 3 years. I have not been able to keep it down. I am almost done with it. The other book, #10, is Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult. I have never read any of her books before but I heard they are good. I almost got My Sister's Keeper, but I was not sure if I wanted to read a book about cancer. I am hoping to have Remember Me? finish and my book at the kitchen table. I am half way through with it and its a mystery, so it is getting really good.
