"Losing Mum and Pup" by Christopher Buckley - about his famous parents,
William and Patricia Buckley. There was poignancy and sadness to those who
deal with the death of their parents--the book covers a period of about a
year, with many flashbacks to younger family days.  BUT, in spite of reading
it and liking it and learning stuffs about William Buckley . . . there was
the unkindness factor.  There were things we do not need to know about the
Buckley's.  Why do kids of famous parents have to trot out family tales that
are nobody's business but their own.

"Just Take My Heart" by Mary Higgins Clark.  When will I learn to stop
reading her.  I found it a little boring at the beginning, and implausible,
and the bad guy stuck out so much I thought I must be wrong and he was just
there to throw readers off the track.  Not so.  The guy you disliked from
the start was . . . well, was the bad guy.  Also the thing with the heart
was so unbelievable I can't believe editors let it get through.  But then,
this is Mary Higgins Clark and I doubt her story lines are ever tampered
with.

Next Up:  "The Other Side of the Moon, the Life of David Nivin" by Sheridan
Morley, and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield (if I can rescue it
from the shelving cart at the library.

And while at the library I will browse the rental shelf and grab one from
there.

Joan
