A plan that is designed to work with the medication I am on. Had some good information, however, it was more geared to the over 40's pre-menopausal crowd than someone like me with PCOS.

The Last to Know

The Last to Know by Wendy Corsi Staub

This was my first Staub book. I keep picking up her books at the library book sale shelf or the used book store when I see them. So, I have several ready and waiting. I am so glad a buddy read made me finally move one of them to the top of my TBR pile.

Townsend Heights is an idyllic, white picket fenced, upper middle class suburban town. A place where the Mom's stay home, meet for lattes, socialize at the park, and gather for Gymboree, while the house keepers and nanny's work hard to help them keep up appearances. The Dad's go off into the city and work long hard hours to finance this picture perfect existence.

Tasha Banks misses her forever working husband, is struggling to keep up with the Jones' and is unsure the stay at home mom life is the one for her. But her own frustrations of daily life are put on the back burner when the women in her neighborhood, her friends, are being targeted. Will Tasha be next?

Ghost Stories

The Myrtles Plantation by Frances Kermeen

I love a ghost story. Even ones that seem a bit far-fetched, they always suck me in. This is the "true" story of Frances Kermeen and her husband Jim Meyers who purchase the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francesville, LA. Frances had always been drawn to New Orleans and loved this particular plantation. They had arrived in the area and decided to purchase an historic property to rehab and it seemed like fate that Myrtles was suddenly on the market. As soon as Frances moved in, she began having ghostly experiences.

Some of the stories seemed exaggerated or far-fetched, but being someone who loves a ghost story - any ghost story - I didn't care! I was drawn in anyway.

I have read several books by Delinsky and also enjoy the stories she tells.
