Our book group met this afternoon. We discussed Jodi Picoult’s PLAIN TRUTH. A great book and a great discussion. (And cheesecake for dessert.) Our book for next month is LIGHT ON SNOW by Anita Shreve. I’ve read this one before and really enjoyed it, but will read it again to refresh my memory. I love discussing…
Yesterday in her post on my blog post, “Kindle,” Cissy Ford said: “Sue, are you going to put your books in the ebook format? Please??” Oh, Cissy, I wish I could. You might notice that if you try to buy ebooks online, you will be able to find ebook versions of the novels that were published…
