What else is going on in her life to stress her out.<br /> I read that Stephen King loved this book but scolded the author for taking like 10 years or something for this next book to come out :) Enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-11964185512037680952013-10-01T09:57:39.903-04:002013-10-01T09:57:39.903-04:00I like the sounds of that one a lot!I like the sounds of that one a lot!Brian's Home Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809631273441407139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-13407005511892933882013-10-01T09:32:14.883-04:002013-10-01T09:32:14.883-04:00Oh, yes, I do want to know what has happened and w...Oh, yes, I do want to know what has happened and what will happen next!

Because of Hurricane Irene, all flights to the east coast were cancelled, and luckily I was able to extend my stay at the hotel. Thanks to cable TV, I had lots of English language news. By the way, Amsterdam is a beautiful place to be stranded...and the people are very nice.Catherine @ Book Club Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511461722921794733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-71989531534774348782013-10-01T08:15:35.237-04:002013-10-01T08:15:35.237-04:00Oh, I want this book!!
