Good thing LJ has an auto-save feature. I seemed to have closed off all my browsers one day last week without posting this

I almost forgot to tell you about a vanity license plate I spotted last week. There was a hearse with a plate that read: DIGM UP

Which was strange, because I thought it should say: BURY EM

:D

haha Yeah, not often that they have to dig them back up...outside of mystery novels!

The last one I saw was on a PT Cruiser: SWT BSE

So the Elm Street Quilt novels are not mysteries? What kind of series is that? (I know, I should google.)

I'm reading that Swedish trilogy right now. I usually do not like books set in foreign countries, but it's not just set there -- it was written there, and the translation somehow gives it an even more gothic mystery novel feeling. The first one, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, was really good. I just started the second one.

Fiction? Chick-lit? I'm not sure how to describe it. I can't say I liked them all but I have enjoyed most of them. Sarah gave up her job to move to Pennsylvania when her husband gets a terrific landscaping job. Sarah is at loose ends and is hired by Matt's client to help clean out her family estate in return for quilting lessons. As Sylvia's history is told, Sarah comes up with an idea that will help the lonely retired school teacher. first book

I've heard several comments about how good that book is. Guess I should check it out from he Library, eh?

I had not heard all the hype until I had already ordered the book. I guess it's being turned into a movie? Whenever all that hype starts, the book never seems to be able to live up to it.

Now that you've talked about that fiction book series, I do recall it, maybe. I haven't read it, though. Thanks for the link!

I don't know anything about a movie but then, I don't get out much! :D
