I do think that one of the problems with being a voracious reader is that you expect more from books and sometimes..........sigh!! Also, I think that sometimes a book hits you just right, at another..it falls short.
I really like the mystery series by Susan Wittig Albert, and just read "Dilly of A Death". The series features China Bayles, a previous attorney who now owns an herb shop and tea room. She has a wonderful assortment of freinds and family. Each books sort of features an herb...and this one was dill. Well, it was not a dilly..it just fell short. It was sort of funny and okay, but I dont think it was up to her other books.
I also then read "Firely Lane" by Kristen Hannah. A chick book about two friends growing up and into adulthood. Her writing reminds me of LuAnn Rice, who is such a wonderful author. I think this book fell short for me because It was written well, but the plot got sort of unbelievable and a little ridiculous. I did finish it. It was okay, but not a book I could not wait to read.

Some of My Favorite Recently read books
- The Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber. This series has 6 books in it currently. They explore the lives and times of the residents of Cedar Cove, Washington. The characters in this series are fun because they are so varied. I will admit, I would like to know about some of them. They are old and young, rich and poor, happy and struggling. They do all connect together and they all appear in each book, along with new characters all the time. The books are quick reads. I was very sad when they were done. I cant wait for the next installment of this series to come out in Sept. 2007. Visit Debbies Cedar Cove website for more and pic :http://www.debbiemacomber.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&pageID=6
