Beach Reads Finished, It's Time For The Big Books

New York Times:

There are novels by Ken Follett, Michael Cunningham, Nicole Krauss and Tom Clancy; cookbooks by Ina Garten and Jamie Oliver; humor books by both Amy Sedaris and David Sedaris; a collection of poems, notes and letters written by Marilyn Monroe; and a book by the Washington Post investigative reporter Bob Woodward that is so supersecret its publisher, Simon & Schuster, refused to reveal the title.

Wrote a book for kids. I love children and the ones who break my heart are the kids who have cancer.
Been there with that dreadfil disease and if the book does well it will give back to the little ones who suffer. Most of us love animals, dogs and so on and this book is based on a dog who does a lot in life after he was adopted from an animal shelter. It comes out in three weeks with a theme song-if you liked Barney you will love Doonie. He is educational and the things he does is amazing in his dog life. Look out for Doonie and his song that will make adults sing and dance as well all the children in the world. Kids are the sweetest sweethearts in the world..I love to read all types of books..

David Sedaris? Can't wait! He is laugh-out-loud funny. Love his stuff.

No mention of the title of Ken Follett's new book. Almost 1,000 pages, it's "The Fall of Giants", the first in a trilogy of novels with this one taking place during WWI about several people welsh, russian etc and should have all the excitement of his other novels as it takes us through the Rusian Revolution and the battlefields of europe etc. I love this writer, He never fails to come through.
