[Selkie]

Are you going to try calligraphy next?

I've been there and done that years ago. I would again except it would be wasted. I have nothing to use it for. It would be nice when sending out social invitations and for making placement cards, but I don't host dinners any longer. I don't believe anyone does, which is a shame. Dinner parties were fun!

I read the book when it first came out. Saw the movie last week and was surprised how good it was.

[Barbara]

I finished Lincoln Lawyer this morning, and bought another Karen Slaughter, Indelible.

See the movie, it is good. I am reading Connellys Fifth Witness now. He defends people that are upsude down with their mortgages because his criminal clients have dried up with the economy

 

[Zhizara]

Johnathan Kellerman's Deception soon to be followed by Iris Johansen's Chasing The Night.

Night Star by Allison Noel

 

[Claire]

Clara and Mr. Tiffany by Susan Vreeland. I have a love of glass, and I am really enjoying this novel version of biography. I went to the great museum in Winter Park, Florida when I lived in the area and this novel makes me want to go back, but life being what it is, the next time I'm in Florida, family concerns will probably over-ride the thought of a museum trip.

"The Watercolorist's Answer Book" edited by Gina Rath

 

[ChefJune]

I'm rereading Craig Claiborne's autobiography, "A Feast Made for Laughter," (also has his top favorite 100 recipes). I read it years ago when it first came out (1982). Not sure what prompted me to pick it up again, but it's very interesting. He writes well, and lived a very interesting life -- right at the beginning of "Great American Food."

As well, his writing partner, Pierre Franey, was one of my esteemed mentors and teachers.
