Book hunts...

Today I went to Amazon.com to look for the book "Book Lover" by Jennifer Kaufman. I've been watching for it, but haven't seen it ever. They had 15 or so used copies, but they all would be shipped from England! Maybe it hasn't come out in the U.S. yet. Very mysterious. But, on second look, the first book on the list was $4 and was shipped from the U.S. I tried to use a $5 promotional code I have to use up before February 7, but I guess since it was used I couldn't. For some reason they didn't charge shipping, so I have my rare book coming in a week for only $4. Sweet!

Also, as I dug around in Goodwill for other things, I decided to take a quick swing by the book section, and somehow I spotted an Elinor Lipman book! Its called THEN SHE FOUND ME. It is apparently a movie! With Matthew Broderick, Colin Firth, Helen Hunt and Bette Midler. I've never heard of it.

I think I'll hold off on reading it though and read my library books first. I should try to read something else in between...maybe.

Elinor Lipman, my new best friend...

Elinor Lipman

I just finished my second Elinor Lipman book (this morning with my coffee). I loved it! It is like a great chick flick, with lots of humor, surprises, relationships, and on and on. I don't really like to reveal too much of the story so if you want to know exactly what its about, you could go to Amazon and read some real reviews. Suffice it to say this would be a great "beach read" or the book you keep in your car to read while waiting for your kids. (but you won't want to put it down). Lipman has "her own uniquely irresistible voice". This book is 'no calorie chocolate' - just a little more, just a little more. Yum.

I have TWO more of her novels waiting for me at the library.
Rats, the library isn't open on Sunday.
