I loved Taylor’s _Lips Touch_ book, is this series also YA? I am tempted to give it a try.

It is. The first and second are out and they’re both reeeaally good.

> **bup** , my book club raced through _The Reader_ several years back and we all really liked it. Have you seen the movie? Pretty good, but the book’s still better.

Have not seen the movie - didn’t really know the story (except Kate Winslow with young kid reading in Nazi Germany). I tend to do that a lot - I’m clueless enough that I read books that have been out for years - even classic books - without knowing the story. I got peeved when _ **The Murder of Roger Ackroyd** _ and _ **Tess of the D’Urbervilles** _ were spoiled for me by the internet.

I want to see the movie of _ **The Reader** _ now, but for the wrong reasons.
