I just stood up after sitting on my foot for a while and it gave me pins & needles /ralphwiggum
Sorry, reading Jodi Picault killed off too mant of my brain cells...

Just finished a Peter Robinson book - can't remember the title & too lazy to go upstairs to check. I like him because he has the same name as my Dad. Now reading a Rebus book (Ian Rankin) ditto re fiding out the title, but it's the one set during the G8 summit.

Prior to that I read The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I was very wary of it. The characters were oddly motivated to my mind, and a little wooden. I also questioned that a newborn baby would sleep for 12 hours after birth, but perhaps the author had experience of that - I don't. I hate it when I start questioning the plot, in theatre terms it shatters my willing disbelief.

All reasonable, but nothing stunning. I want a book I can fall in love with again.
