RW> Looks like we had similar feelings about the ending [of
 RW> "Monstrous"]. I haven't gone looking
 RW> for the next book in the series 'cause of that. I think I remember 
reading a
 RW> positive endorsement of 'A Letter of Mary' here in the echo.
 I had read the "teaser" for this at the end of "Monstrous" and it
 sounded very interesting - maybe we'll find Mary and Sherlock in
 Palestine.
 RW> Probably from the
 RW> indubitable Suzze.  That gal is always about 3 books ahead it seems! :)
 Probably, and I'm *very* jealous!  This book is definitely on my
 "watch for" list.
 RW> Unfortunately my absence had more to do with a heavy workload and hectic
 RW> travel schedule over the winter. Work will lessen a bit for the summer, 
but I
 RW> have committed myself to a heavy volunteer schedule for Habitat for 
Humanity
 RW> this summer, and that will eat up a lot of my 'spare' time.
 Now, Bob, you're gonna have to prioritize!
 RW> I also passed over them a number of times due to the titles, but I'm 
glad that
 RW> I finally took the plunge and read them. Have you ever read any of Dana
 RW> Stabenow's Kate Shugak series?
 Hmmmmm, no - I don't think so.
 RW> I found the two series similar in many aspects,
 RW> and both enjoyable. I was able to identify with and recognize a lot of 
the
 RW> attitudes and the general atmosphere, from my travels and work in 
Northern
 RW> Alberta and B.C.
 Never been in that part of the world so really can't relate to this
 but it would be an interesting way to "visit."
 RW> I have just started a John Grisham book, 'The Runaway Jury'. I really 
don't
 RW> like Grisham as a writer; talk about not being able to plot an ending, 
r
 RW> concoct a realistic plot...  This book was left at my house by a guest, 
who
 RW> said I should give it a try.  So far I'm about 50 pages into it and it's 
OK,
 RW> but not a real grabber, and certainly doesn't live up to the gushing 
praise of
 RW> the flyleaf comments. But then, when did a book ever live up to that 
kind of
 RW> sycophantic verbage.
 I'll have to admit that I'll read Grisham for pure popcorn.
 RW>  Type at ya later,
 Yup, I'm around.
