I too ...I agree with Amanda Sessions' comment. I too read The Cain Sanction by Mary McNally Ratto and loved it! It's a must read especially in an election year. Very thought provoking and a little scary. I hear she's a new author but she's off to a great start. Can't wait for the next one.Theresa Hopkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380631593644516380.post-31348034662039946292012-05-23T17:25:43.209-07:002012-05-23T17:25:43.209-07:00I have just read an incredible political thriller ...I have just read an incredible political thriller ebook.

May try the one you mentioned about childhood.<br />Lunch in Paris by Elizabeth Bard is an interesting read, with recipes!<br />Susanna Kearsley, a Canadian author, has written some fiction books with great settings in time travel elements. The Winter Sea and The Rose Garden are two of her titles.<br />I was part of an anthology of writing to fund raise for those impacted by the Gulf Oil spill. It is called "Oil and Water and other things that don't mix."<br />Happy reads!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254228974989688426noreply@blogger.com
