I love Pete Hamill, and I think this is his masterpiece. Great story, and NYC, specifically Manhattan, is a character- from 1740's until the day after 9/11. It's an amazing, magical, uplifting, thought provoking story. The kind of book you don't want to end. |

I ditto all the authors already mentioned. If you like romance, Robyn Carr has a series-- Virgin River-- that's pretty good. I lost my mom in August. She had been between the hospital and nursing home since April. In the beginning she went through an episode of dementia which the doctor said was hospital induced psychosis. She didn't know where she was and barely knew me and my sisters. I believe it was the drugs they were giving her supposedly for anxiety and to sleep. She got better after awhile and was more like herself. It was really sad seeing her go through this. She was 92 and lived a healthy life until this episode. You're in my prayers. I know you're going through a rough time.

I love Jodi Picoult, but she always makes me cry!! Nora Roberts is also a favorite, or Phylippa Gregory. Or if you're into the supernatural I am hooked on the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse books!

My two favourites:
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, by Carson McCullers To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. Both are page turners and the movies made were well done as well. |
Iris Johansen-the Eve Duncan series-good reading
|
Mary Higgins Clark
Carol Higgins Clark Diane Mott Davidson Richard Paul Evans - Every book a treasure, truly Joanne Fluke Earlene Fowler Jan Karon Wally Lamb - Excellent Beverly Lewis Judith Miller Tracie Peterson Emilie Richards Ann B. Ross Nicholas Sparks Nancy E. Turner As you can see, I keep my records alphabetically. Each book by each author is an audiobook. For those of us who are audiobookphiles!!!!!! Edie |
I read anything printed on paper..lol. Loved "The Help" and all those silly Stephanie Plum's make me laugh. My love and prayers...going through almost the same with my Mom. We moved her into our home first of October and hoping to keep her for a very long time.
