I have been hibernating and READING!!
It has been a long cold winter with more snow than we get in 2 years just in the month of December!
I have read many books and have an entire bookshelf of “to reads”!
Here are a few you really should not miss!!
This is an amazing book. I was lucky enough to read it around MLK Day and really had a lot to relate to it from my own background living in the south. I am always amazed how close and yet how far I am from the Segregation times. READ IT! The characters and places are so well written you feel you are there!
The Help and this one The Scent of Rain and Lightning were both picked for me in my book club. What great books. This one is a great mystery and you will never guess the end! DO NOT READ THE END FIRST!! It will be so much better to not know!
This book is amazing! It is written as a series of letters and you get to know the entire cast by the letters written by them. It has made everyone who read it want to sit and take up the lost art of letter writing! From a quick “will you have dinner with me” to searches for long lost friends, this book is a funny and sweet story of England after WWII! I couldn’t have enjoyed it more!
This book I found at Target. It had a recommendation from Sarah Addison Allen, one of my most favorite author, so I bbought it! It is a wonderful , fictional, tale based on the people around Alice in Wonderland. The book is from the girl Alice’s point of view about her life and how the book and relationship with Luis Carroll made her life, not her own. It is a wonderful look at the Victorian era!
I finally finished this! It is a really great book, I just seemed to have more to read the entire time I was reading this. I finished it on 12/29! I was not going to the new year with it unfinished!! It is a wonderful story of three generations of women in a family and how this one garden brought them all together and finally to happiness. It is great with so many twists you cannot wait to find out which path it is going to take! I have one more by Kate Morton and have it on my to read shelf!!
This is my current read and as with all in this set is in different time periods you have to go back to go forward. The writing is well done and her description of the dialect in Massachusetts, you can hear it in the speech! Good considering I am from North Carolina! I am really enjoying it!! I hope to spend more time on it this week as the birthday celebrations are over!
I hope you try one or all of these and I hope you enjoy them half as much as I did!
Happy reading!
Hugs, Lisa
