Lenore, thanks! I certainly will. I've already started The Secret Year, couldn't resist when I pulled it out of the "Packstation" yesterday...

Rebecca, thanks! I'm sure I will.

ninefly, yay, I'm so excited about those books. I'll let you know about The Secret Year soon, I'm already reading it. Left the official "train book" (Grimspace by Ann Aguirre) at home and grabbed TSY instead :-)

I absolutely loved The Secret Year and Death on the Nile! Agatha Christie is an all-time favorite and I can only understand why her mysteries keep popping up everywhere :-)

Now, let's hope I'll get around to read Dear John before the movie's out here!
