I just received a box from UPS, and what a thrill!  In it were three Bourne books - the three I've never read, and I won them on Gather.  I'm so glad to have a lot of good reading ahead!

Good for you Joanne. What books are they?
Joanne Vicente Oct 1, 2009, 5:46pm EDT
The Bourne Deception, The Bourne Betrayal, and The Bourne Samction -- I can hardly wait to get into them!
Annmarie B. Oct 1, 2009, 11:39pm EDT
Is it a series? sounds good
Joanne Vicente Oct 2, 2009, 11:39pm EDT
The original Bourne books were written by Robert Ludlum, and these three are by Eric Von Lustbader. Each author wrote three. Ludlum's were made into movies starring Matt Damon, and I think these will be films, too.

I plan to start using the library across the street. I look at the literally thousands of books on my shelves and realize that I spent a lot that I really need now! Those were the days!

Joanne Vicente Oct 25, 2009, 4:09pm EDT
I was over 40 when I first learned to love life. Now I feel lucky every day, and I don't really understand any more why I was suicidal all those years.
Korak 257 Oct 25, 2009, 6:04pm EDT
