    I'm reading an oldie but goodie…Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes. It's leading to some good daydreams about where I'd like to vacation!

    Secrets to Happiness looks like a fun read. My book club won free copies of Painter and are very much looking forward to reading them. Looking forward to your review.

    I'm looking forward to your review of The Painter from Shanghai.

    Right now I'm listening to Tilt-a-Whirl by Chris Grabenstein and Notes From a Big Country by Bill Bryson, and re-reading Careless in Red by Elizabeth George.

    I love this meme. Call me nosey, but I love to read about what people are reading.

    Those all sound great. I'll be awaiting your reviews.

    How is Cousin Kate so far? I'm a Heyer fan. I'm nearly done now with The Convenient Marriage.

    Thanks everyone for your comments. Much appreciated!

    Jo-Jo, Painter From Shanghai was awesome.

    Lilly, I'm still working on Cousin Kate. My migraine really threw my reading off. However I'm really enjoying it so far and I'm curious to see where it's going.

    Teashop Girl, Under the Tuscan Sun was such a good book. Gosh, I loved that book.

    Rebecca, I keep going back and forth on whether to read Still Alice or not. I'd like to on one hand but on the other it may be a difficult read for me.

    Jess, I can't wait to see what you'll think of Painter.

    Staci, I won Shanghai Girls from Bonnie. I can't wait to read it.

    Naida, Cousin Kate is really good so far. I'm only about 50 pages in but really enjoying it.
