My Current Interest

                 I never thought I would become such a fan of Danielle Steel.   This is the second book of hers that I absolutely loved.   I would say I could not put it down, but I listened to this one.   So I guess I could say I was not able to change the discs fast enough.                                Annie is just beginning her adult life when she receives the tragic news her sister and her brother-in-law have died in a plane crash.   She rushes to her nieces and nephew and takes on the responsibility of raising them.   The children become her life and she does not give herself time for anything else except for her career.   Now the three children are out on their own and living their own lives.   Liz, the oldest, is an edi...

This is one of the very few series I have read where I did not start at the beginning or even in order.   Actually I think I read book three first.   Eventually I got on track and read all the present day stories.   All except for Baby Love .   For some reason it took until now for me to read this book.   Which is funny since it starts the whole series. Maggie is a young woman running away with her baby.   She climbs on a train knowing it is dangerous but does not feel she has any other choice.   Even though she tries to stay out of sight, she attracts the attention of the other rail riders and inadvertently gets herself in trouble.   Although he is reluctant at first, a man named Rafe comes to her rescue.   Rafe has been riding the rails since his wife and children died in a car accident.   He knows how to defend himself, but he also likes to keep to himself.   Despite this, he cannot let the other riders attack Maggie.  ...

               It took me a little while to watch this movie.   There it sat with the rest of the mail waiting for me to pick it up.   Most movies I watch pretty quickly, but for some reason I thought Paper Clips was going to be a dreary fictional piece.   Right now I am not up for dreary.   When I finally put the film in I realized I had been quite wrong.   Not only was this not dreary, but it was a documentary.   Where I got the idea it was fiction, I do not know.   The point is, instead of dreary I got a positive and uplifting documentary.                    A middle school in a small town in Tennessee is the focus of this film.   With such little diversity in the school, the administration and faculty became concerned and decided to start a program about differences in people.   They...

           My love of mysteries strikes again!   This series stars Meg, a blacksmith with quite an interesting family.   Each book has a different bird in the title and the birds sometimes become a strong part of the story.   Meg is always the one to lead the story along.   In Murder with Peacocks Meg starts her detecting adventures.                        Meg has returned home to take part in the weddings of her best friend, brother, and mother.   Take part would actually be quite an understatement.   Completely organizing and running the weddings would be more accurate.   Each of the three brides, including her future sister-in-law, call Meg with new demands constantly.   Finding a non-wedding moment is hard for Meg to do.   While the weddings are not crazy enough, the sister-in-law of...

              Currently I am sitting and watching a marathon of the show Love It or List It .   I have seen this show several times before as it sometimes airs on the weekends.   As I sometimes struggle to find something to watch during the weekday, I was glad to see this show was on.   However, as much as I enjoy this show, nearly everyone on it drives me crazy.                               A couple is fed up with the house they are currently living in.   They are trying to determine whether to stay in their home or move.   This is where David and Hilary come in.   David is determined to find a new house for the couple and get their current home listed.   Hilary is going to renovate and show the couple they can love their house once again.   ...
