Have a seat, let's talk about what we're reading over a cup of coffee...

Although some of the books I've listed may appear rather "high brow," I often choose books from the NY Times list, mainly to see what people are reading. As a rule, I try not to read too many books from the same genre I write. It's sort of like the person who works in landscape. His or her own lawn usually looks like crap. I want to read something DIFFERENT from what I'm writing; it's my way of taking a break.

One of Charlotte's all-time favorite authors, Ann B. Ross, who writes the Miss Julia series, has a brand new book coming out April 1, 2008, titled MISS JULIA PAINTS THE TOWN, Viking Books. The book is guaranteed to bring many smiles and warm feelings! To learn more, visit Ann's site at annbross.com.
