Trail of thread, (a womans westward journey) Stitch of Courage, (a womans fight for freedom) & thimble of soil, (a womans quest for land) all written by Linda K. Hubalek, they are historical letters from 1854 to 1860 moving from KY to Mo. & from Ohio to Kansas. really gives yo9u the feel of what it was like for a woman back then. good fast read for all 3

Rainwater by Sandra Brown is an awesome read. I'm told it is much different than her "thriller" books.

I just finished CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO HEAVEN by Fanny Flagg. I couldn't put the book down. It was even better than her FRIED GREEN TOMATOES.

I'm reading the Mitford Series, not sure which book right now. But they are great reading, I have the cookbook too.
Anyone remember the ice cream that our mother's and grandmother's used to make in the aluminum ice trays, they left the lever section out. The recipe is in there. But I have a suggestion for a child's book, a friend of mine wrote it. I gave one to nephews this past Christmas, one was 6 and the other 8. The older one was reading it to the younger one. http://www.olebluetales.com/about_ole_blue.html |
"Water for Elephants" is awesome. It's already been made into a movie ~ but it was a really good read! Romance, intrigue, and yet heart warming and can't-put-it-downable. Starts off a little slow, but give it a chance ~ well worth the effort.

Gloria in Toronto That being said, it was a wonderful book, generated a lot of discussion, and well worth the read. I would recommend it highly. |

I read The Help. One of the best I've EVER read!!!, Water for Elephants, is good! and all Mary Kay Andrews books. Mary Kay writes southern fiction. Very entertaining easy reads. ALso, The Saving of Cee Cee Honeycutt is a very entertaining easy read.

I just finished "Heaven is for Real". I can't remember the first name of the author but the last is Bepbo. It is the story of his son who spent time in heaven. It is awesome!
