Jeffrey Deaver's The Stone Monkey was a hit.
Tami Hoag's Cry Wolf was was better than ok, but not great. Her books are all starting to sound the same, emotionally wounded hero (or heroin) carrying around baggage from the past has one last shot at redemption & love when they stumble upon a murder in their hometown. Makes for a good read, but somewhat predictable.
Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously however, was AWESOME!!! I laughed out loud, I got emotional, I got inspired. I'm in love. (I haven't been this excited about a book since Twilight!) Last year my sister-in-law & I wrote a blog about running our first marathon, so I could relate to what Julie Powell went through -- The uphill battle of accomplishing the impossible. Plus her freak outs and spazzes remind me of myself. Plus I love the relationship with her hubby. Great read. Excited to see the movie as well. It's great that she became a writer after starting her own blog and i'm interested in reading her next book: "Cleaving"
