I picked up one at the library the other day and it was light and fast reading. She has a cat too! and the best part is the recipes in each book...the character is a baker. Just curious about the early books.<br /> Anyone? Class? Anyone? (bonus points if you can name the movie ;)) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40134#post-704105 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:08:53 +0000 Kilroy 704105@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm reading "Isaac's Storm" by the same author and it's terrific. It's about the Galveston hurricane in 1900 and the man who ran the Weather Service in Galveston. I highly recommend it.</p> <p>I also put "Devil in the White City" on hold, but even being out as long as it has, there's a huge wait for it from the NYPL. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/39420#post-695193 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 12:21:48 +0000 Anci 695193@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, the second book in the Zvonek 08 series is out from today.

Main characters Alvirah Meeham and Regan Reilly are loved in other stories. Is this the first time you have read one of their stories? If this is not a first how do you find the characters in this book? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18142#post-400379 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:39:44 +0000 ILoveMyCats 400379@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <br /> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20683#post-440911 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:26:12 +0000 mollycat71 440911@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just a reminder that the book for the Sept 1 discussion, Three Weeks With My Brother by Nicholas Sparks has been moved to Oct 1.

I didn't know that there was going to be another one after ( Shelter of Stones )and I am looking foward to getting it . I think that I remember several people also enjoyed that series of books so I thought that I would mention it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/32178#post-601096 Mon, 20 Dec 2010 14:55:00 +0000 WillowandWindismom 601096@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Since I've been down and out with the flu, I've been doing lots of reading while ensconced in my little nest in front of the Christmas tree. I just read the most beautiful book but I have to admit - I cried buckets at the end.</p> <p>The Art of Racing in the Rain: A Novel<br /> by Garth Stein</p> <p>I can see why everyone is raving about this book. Well, I have to go and get more kleenex now...... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/32042#post-598857 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 05:18:26 +0000 Davesmum 598857@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>"The cat that came in from the cold" by Deric Longden</p> <p>If you like books about cats this is the book for you. It is basically the story of Deric adopting a cat who later became known as Thermal due to being shut in the fridge and being defrosted with a shrunken thermal vest. This book had me laughing out loud on the bus to work in the mornings, and got me some very strange looks from fellow commuters. The book is lovely, and deric and his wife ended up with three cats by the time the book ended....one is never enough!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/31399#post-589549 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 07:19:32 +0000 tyoung 589549@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I think they should make a television series based on the The Cat who series. Tom Selleck could play James Qwilleran. It would be better than most of the junk that is already on TV. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/29434#post-562806 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:50:11 +0000 linda 562806@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I saw a book on Amazon that got great reviews.
