I've been stuck in rather a top 10 favorite authors rut. I keep picking up books that from the same authors I've been reading for YEARS!
Right now I am reading a Phillip Margolin and a John Sanford book at the same time. Or rather, I carry one with me and have the other sitting next to my chair at home, so not simultaneously, but concurrently (jeeps I hope I used that word right!)
I did read 'Precious' over the Christmas holidays as I had gotten it for my daughter as a gift and then borrowed it (she was busy having a baby anyway
). THAT was a very traumatic read, graphically horrid, but a story of triumph in the face of severe adversity.
