A great binge read
The Dreamers is about a mysterious virus that sweeps through a small college town, and follows a few key characters as they cope with the spreading disease. I really enjoyed following the main characters as they navigated the fear of contracting the disease, when loved ones are effected, and being separated from loved ones. I will say, the ending was kind of disappointing, but I enjoyed the entire book so much that I didn't really mind the lackluster ending.

This is a fantastic small town romance read. You will fall in love with the characters from the first page. This is a fast paced action packed romance, you wont want to put down. This story will suck you in from the first page and keep you reading long into the night. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended

Gerry Porter is looking forward to seeing her family for Christmas. But soon that takes a back seat when a friend at the retirement home goes missing, only to reappear as the prime suspect in a murder. Can Gerry clear her name? The pacing was uneven, but I just love Gerry, her family, and the small town she lives in.

The latest (as of mid-2007) in Margaret Maron's enjoyable Deborah Knotts series.

Now married, Deborah and Dwight face several challenges, including a murder Dwight must investigate in their small North Carolina town. While involved in that investigation, the pair find out that Dwight's ex-wife, Jonna (mother of his young son Cal) has gone missing. Dwight -- and eventually Deborah -- must travel to his ex-wife's hometown to search for Jonna, and soon, Cal as well.

Very enjoyable and suspenseful novel.

Shockingly good
I watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri after watching it receive a couple of awards. I was not disappointed.

This movie covers some hard topics - the pain a family goes through after the rape and murder of the daughter, the fact that the crime is unsolved, small-town interpersonal relationships, cancer, suicide, but still has the perfect script to make it a dark comedy. The actors all did fantastic jobs. I highly recommend this movie.
