Heart and Soul


I just got the latest by Maeve Binchy. I signed up at the library to get either the audiobook or book, whichever came in first..and surprise the audiobook (unabridged) came in first. I started listening to it while driving, and immediately downloaded it to iTunes, so I can put it on my iPod. It is wonderful. I forget how great she writes. Reading this is like going home again. They are new characters, but they meet up with ones from other books, and they all love to go to Quentins to eat!!


I am only half way through, but I am sure I will love it to the end. It does not really focus on one person, it focuses on a group of people who open a cardiac clinic in Dublin and how their lives and their patients lives revolve and intertwine and move on. IT is another wonderful work of fiction which is definitely character driven. It is not so much the story, it is the characters which move the story along. You feel like you know each of them. I am so glad I got this one!! And I will write more when I am done.

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
