Gail 60. the Blue Dahlia by Nora Roberts Blue Dahlia (In The Garden trilogy #1) by Nora Roberts I liked the info about gardening. Obviously she does a lot of research when she writes

I am reading about 5 books right now, so I tend to finish a lot at once. The above book is one of my read-at-red-lights book because I don't have to concentrate so much. I'm also working on The Gargoyle,Girl with the Dragon tattoo, Rebecca(reread), Les Fleurs du Mal, Woman in White(but it's an ebook and I don't like to sit and readat the computer)and just bought Harry Potter and Philosophy to use as I teach book one in Spanish 5...
