I joined another book club (at our first meeting we discussed The Help -- deja vu!). The next book is Little Bee, which is a tough read about a young woman refugee from Nigeria in England. I'm waiting for some redemption to kick in! (And hurrying through so I can start The Earth Hums...). Thanks to loaners from Dianne Green I also read Losing Mum and Pup (Christopher Buckley's actually rather humorous account of the death of both his parents in one year) and The Piano Teacher, which I also liked.

And, great news! The Girl Who Played with Fire is now out in paperback. It's next in line for me after The Earth Hums....
