I keep forgetting about this book. I will have to put it on my wishlist.

I've actually started three books this spring: Louise Erdrich's The Painted Drum, Anthony Trollope's The Warden, and re-reading Jessica Smith's Thin in 10.

Wow, that was a quick read.

The story of his life in poverty is heartbreaking, but I couldn't put the book down. I had to know what would happen next.

Just finished Trump Surviving at the Top (1990), very informative and entertaining sequel to The Art of the Deal with business stories as well as surprisingly personal -- three of his execs killed in a helicopter crash shook him to the core, his marriage and divorce from Ivana, gossip about celebs/politicians of the '80s like Ed Koch, Leona Helmsley, Mike Tyson and Robin Givens, titans of industry, and a blind item about Trump's friend's affair with the 'hot' wife of a Prime Minister. I guessed who! Last chapter was prescient about politics today.

I saw the trailer for Lion. I choked up watching it! I know The Nightengale is not a new release and I apologize if it's been mentioned already. I just have to say....WOW! Very good book, sad, suspenseful and it will stay with me I'm sure. I highly recommend it. I also just finished "Chill Factor" by Sandra Brown. Psychological thriller and I loved it!!

LOL! Here's my list, but I've only gotten through the first one so far. I've learned so much already, and I'm not even sure where to start to explain!

Sandi, Yoga as Medicine is a great book but certainly not one I've read cover to cover! I've found 30 Essential Poses to be a really nice reference manual; I really need to go back to read more of the "For the Teacher" segments now that I am a teacher.

I won a yoga book today! It's The Teacher Appears: 108 Prompts to Power Your Yoga Practice by Brian Leaf. I read his first book, Misadventures of a Garden State Yogi, which was sort of a cross between memoir and self-help, so I'm excited to read this one.

I just read Leah Remini's book "Troublemaker" about her life in Hollywood and as a Scientologist. I always liked her as "carrie" in the "King of Queens" and was excited to read her book. It was good and a quick read. I picked it up at my local library.

I've been awaiting the Greg Iles book! Even though it's the 6th Penn Cage book it's actually book 3 in a subset trilogy of the Penn Cage books.
