I met author, Wendy Wax, a few years ago and just LOVE her and her books. She sent me a surprise in the mail this week….a book for me and a book for a lucky winner!
I am so excited to find out about her new TEN BEACH ROAD releases!
A TEN BEACH ROAD CHRISTMAS — A special holiday paperback that includes the new novella A BELLA FLORA CHRISTMAS and the previously released CHRISTMAS AT THE BEACH, together in print for the first time and available exclusively at Walmart.
Dick reminded me this week that I haven’t read one of the books he recommended to me and that he had another suggestion. I’m so far behind on my reading! So I asked him if I could use his two suggestions as the “books of the week”. He agreed and and then said “I think people will like them.” … Read More »
I’m in the midst of The Girls: A Novel. 48% finished to be exact. I’ll write a full review when I am done but am curious if anyone has heard of this book or read it? Cults…something that freaked me out as a child. I can remember hearing on the news about J.… Read More »
I read Wonder several years ago and absolutely loved it. My youngest was in middle school then and he needed a book to read. I handed over my Kindle and told him to try Wonder. He’d much rather be participating in an active sport or playing a video game than reading, so I was surprised when he simply could not put this book down. … Read More »

I’ve had this book for years, always wanted to read it, but was intimidated by the length of it! It took me about two weeks to finish it and now I wish it were longer! Fortunately there are two more books in the series so I’ll pick up book two soon. The Pillars of the Earth is an epic, spellbinding, historical fiction masterpiece. … Read More »
I haven’t read this book yet. I’m reading another super long book right now so thought I’d look up the best selling books on Goodreads and Amazon for the year. Apparently this book is the first in a three part series that was an instant best seller billed as being perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R.R.… Read More »
If you don’t know about Jamie and Claire you may have been living under a rock. Or maybe you don’t like historical fiction? My Mom must have told me a thousand times that I needed to read Outlander and I finally read it after my book club chose it a few years ago. Mama was right. … Read More »
I have so many books on my “to read” list and this one finally made it to the top of the list. I heard about it several years ago and I’m sad I didn’t take the time to read it sooner. This is one that I went back and forth between listening and reading….Kindle/Audible. I had to listen/read whenever I could find even 5 minutes! … Read More »
I just downloaded this to my Audible account to listen to on my way to Auburn to visit with my college boy! That part is irrelevant but I’m excited about seeing him for the first time since dropping him off and almost just as excited to read/listen to this book that is soon to be a major motion picture! … Read More »

This one is for all of my fellow class of 2017 parents. The UGA and GA Southern kids are mostly nestled safely in their dorm rooms and the girls are in the middle of sorority rush. One friend texted me crying from her child’s bedroom in Dunwoody today. Gosh this is hard. That same friend told me I need to get this book. … Read More »
A funny thought popped into my head as I was packing for my trip to Ireland and trying to decide what book to download for the long plane ride. My thought: “What if I read a novel set in Ireland?”
I googled this and of course Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes rose to the top but alas, I’ve read that one and I wanted something lighter anyway. … Read More »
