  1. Some really good reads on this list! Now that I don’t belong to a book club anymore(kids happened!), I try to catch the radio show "The Book Report" (bookreportradio(dot)com) to keep on top of what’s out there. Two that have caught my attention on recent shows, were "11th Hour", by James Patterson and "Gone Girl", by Gillian Flynn. Wondered if you've read them and what you thought of them. I thought other avid readers, who don’t have time to read every book that catches their eye, may enjoy getting a basic outline of the handful of books they showcase every week. The schedule and radio stations airing the show can be found on their site, as well as recordings of past shows. It’s a handy tool for the busy mom.
    Thanks for your feedback-I have seen a couple here to add to my list of books still to read.
