I have read every book in the Outlander series. Do I recommend Picoult? No that will be the first and last book that I will read by her. She just isn't worth my reading time. Yes, yes,yes a real book far surpasses electronic. It's the whole scenario; a favorite beverage, favorite spot and the book between your hands. Plus as you say, a computer for us has become a tool for work and by the end of the day I am quite hapyy to put it to bed. Diana Gabaldon’s new book is on my winter list too!

I like to read all kinds of genres though and I do love a good historical fiction novel for the winter. I must read Diana Gabaldon's An Echo In The Bone this winter! I am sitting here with two books to review in front of me and realize that the next book on my list (that the author is waiting for my review of) is one that I have to read on the computer which is not my favourite thing to do. I treasure the moments I can read curled up on the couch or in bed, so reading on the computer is the last thing I want to do when I have to work on it all day long. I can't see myself ever getting into a Kindle either. What do you prefer Jill? A real pages and binding book, or an electronic one? P.S. I haven't got around to reading Jodi Picoult yet. My cousin really likes her work though. Would you recommend I make time for her? I must say I'm getting tired of chick lit and children's books and it's time for something way more substantial for me!

I'm not far enough into it to say if it's good or not. I've been curious about her books for awhile and picked a paperback up on sale at the grocery. We'll see. Jill, when I finally get my crime thriller edited to my satisfaction, I will send it to you to check out on one of those dark nights with the dog's howling in the background.
