Hi all, just finished The Wife, the maid and the mistress which I enjoyed. I am now reading 5 Days at Memorial. It's about one of the hospitals in New Orleans during the aftermath of Katrina. I am really enjoying, but I'm from there. Looking for my next book. Any ideas??

Recently read Defending Jacob, I forget the author but pretty good read.

Just finished reading "the curious case of the dog in the nighttime". Very interesting told entirely from a boy with Asperger's syndrome. Very interesting insight into how his mind works.

Looking for places to stay on Sanibel Island, Florida for 8-10 people, parents and 20 year old children. Never been there and the searching is a little overwhelming!! Looking for a house or condo on or near beaches. Also any info on things to do or see would be great! Thanks

Just finished "light between oceans" and really enjoyed it. Just started Mudbound.

For foodies and cooks, Michael ruhlmans (sp?) books on chefs , The making of a chef and the soul of a chef are good reads. Also, heat by bill Buford was pretty good.
