Rereading; My Name is Mary Sutter and Winter Sisters by Robin Olivera.

Reading:  Farawy by Lucy Irivine, The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley, High Country by Wyman, The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

Finished:  Wish You Were Here  by Jodie Picoult.  This was a surprise book for me.  I usually don't read Picoult but this one was pretty good.
