I live in CA now, and rain is about all we ever see, so thanks for the memories.<BR/><BR/>I just finished reading a book written by a Southern writer, Vera Jane Cook, called <A HREF="http://www.verajanecook.com" REL="nofollow">Dancing Backward in Paradise</A> that I thoroughly enjoyed! The story is set in Tennessee and New York in the 60's,and is about a young girl's journey to find herself. <BR/><BR/>It's a really good read -- hope you enjoy it as much as I did.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856895903184791308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-56793311626718936462008-01-22T10:48:00.000-06:002008-01-22T10:48:00.000-06:00Hi Rhoda,Your book selection looks like a great wa...Hi Rhoda,<BR/>Your book selection looks like a great way to spend a weekend! <BR/><BR/>Is that a new Lynette Jennings book?

I have read that Beauty Bible before and she tells you what expensive beauty items are worth the price and what cheaper ones are just as good. It's pretty interesting if you like makeup like I do. Your other books look good also.
