I thought that someone said that we were reading Just One Look  (Harlan Coben) next and I was looking it up on the on-line card catelog and planning to get it yesterday and then we got the call about my grandmother - I was there until late last night until she passed away.  I still plan on getting it whether we read it or not b/c I have reading his stuff (at Jan's suggestion).  Jules, PLEASE don't leave us - I think we all kind of sloweddown/boed out on the last book.

I've certainly been absent a while too, so Jules, no reason to bail. Why don't we decide on Just One Look again, only read it this time? :)

It may take us a while to get going, Jules can entertain us with comments on Black Wave in the mean time.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother Kaybo


I second the vote for Just One Look ...

Got a Books A Million gift card and went shopping last weekend... picked up several books from list
and The Brain That Changed It's self... been wheezy and puny all week... went to doctor today thinking
just asthma but have mild pneumonia and an ear infection in deaf ear ...have  orders to go to bed for the
weekend through Tuesday and then back to see him ... good timing ...got books to read in between
sleeping through movies   :)


anyone gets ear infections in deaf ear with no pain??? he said it should be killing me with pain by the way
it looked ...but it isn't ...have had some drainage but almost always have some drainage since surgery and didn't
give it much thought ... clean out with stuff  ENT told me to use and go on...

K -I'm sorry that you have had this loss at this already cosmically stressful time.  Prayers are with you and your family.
I'm not going anywhere - especially knowing that my guilt was self perpetuated (usually is) One Look it is then?. I'll be happy to entertain till my book comes in - God knows my ship isn't!

Well, I haven't been over to this thread in quite awhile...K, so sorry about your grandmother.

I'm going to try to get this book and get going on it, but don't know that I'll be able to participate in the discussion - got that little procedure coming up very soon  :-\ but, I do need a good book to read before, during and after my trip to LA.

Thanks!

Cindy

I haven't started it either, but I've read a couple of his other books and once you start, you can't put them down!!  I don't think you will have a problem!

K -

you are so right.  I've read about 4 Harlan Coben books now and I've found him to be a very good writer. 

As you say, it's hard to put down one of his books once you get started.

When someone gets a chance, can you please tell me what the book is about?  Not in detail, just the blurb from the book jacket.

I've read a few of his books now, and it's been a few weeks, so I'd like to know what I'm discussing when the time comes.

The books I read came on loan from my mom and I've given them back to her.

Thanks,

Jan  ;D

OMG, this is a suspenseful story that the reader gets hooked into right away. To those considering the read, it is one where everything is something when solving this mystery. The author has a gift related to intertwining the characters and the plot.

When someone gets a chance, can you please tell me what the book is about?

Jan,


Here is an excerpt from audiofile off of Amazon:
Here is yet another example of Corben's gifted storytelling. ....Grace Lawson ..attempts to figure out how and why a twenty-year-old picture turns up in her recently developed photos, and why her husband has disappeared after recognizing himself in the old photograph.

Thanks, Kate.

It's all coming back to me now  8)

Enjoy the book - it's a good one.

Anyone set a discussion date yet?

Who's in charge here?

Jan~ 
I think you would be good since you have already read it but you may be at a disadvantage since you don't have the book in front of you!

Who is reading this round?  The other suggestion would be to rotate Queens:-)
