  2. Am I the only person in the world who feels Nicholas Sparks is seriously overrated? I cannot stand him. If he were a woman his books would be Harlequin romances, utterly dismissed as fluff by "serious" reviewers. And I say that as one with great affection fo (not to mention a onetime owner of a big library of) Harlequins! "Somebody Else's Daughter" looks interesting. I just finished the latest Mary Higgins Clark (can't remember the title -- they're all alike!), which was enjoyable. That was my fun fiction. My non-fiction book is a World War II memoir, "Abandoned and Forgotten," by Evelyne Tannehill. I had no idea Germans were thrown out of their home and lands by the East Prussians. The war orphans that results are called "Wolf Children" (something else I didn't know) and that's what this author is. Very interesting look at a forgotten/unknown chapter of WWII.

    And I'm eagerly awaiting the new Jacqueline Mitchard. I wonder if that will be Oprah's book pick? Her very first one was Mitchard's "Deep End of the Ocean," and this book is a sequel to that. I like the symmetry.

    Happy reading!
