I have just finished reading "The Fifth Petal" by Brunonia Barry. It is the sequel to "The Lace Reader" and it was equally as good. It is the story of Rose Whelan, the Goddesses, and Callie. And Salem. It is a great ghost story, a murder mystery and a romance. I should have waited until October and cooler weather, however, to read it. It is a perfect fall read -- but it isn't ever going to be fall in Texas so I decided to go ahead and read it.
I recommend.
Now I am reading "The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition". I read the Diary of Anne Frank years and years ago so I decided to revisit this new, expanded edition. It is a lot different than I remembered. Maybe I should go back and reread the one I read originally. There seems to be a lot of added material that was omitted from the original edition. It is good, it seems more realistic. It seems to be a fast read.
I will let you know.

I taught The Diary of Anne Frank. We also watched the mini-series with Ben Kingsley. So good! I visited the attic in Amsterdam, too. Powerful.
Yes, I was always very interested in her and her story. If you haven't read this edition, you should. It is completely different.
