Wanna paint the Little Free Library in Brook Run Park?
Source: Heneghan’s Dunwoody Blog
This little library could now use a little paint to protect the bare wood. I know that we have creative artists in the community so if you have the talent & time to donate, I will pay for the supplies from my city expense account (if allowed). If interested, please email me with your thoughts, I will clear with city staff and if necessary convene a panel to possibly judge the entries.… Read More »Contact:

A Week at the Lake by Wendy Wax
Wendy Wax books are always an excellent choice for the beach so when she gave me an advance copy of her upcoming book just before I headed to the gulf, I was thrilled! I don’t want to give away too much of the story but I want to point out that near the beginning of the book these friends are all in the hospital rooting for someone to recover from a brain injury. … Read More »

Ladies Night by Mary Kay Andrews was our Meadowlake Book Club May choice. In fact, we were discussing this book at Libby’s house when the now famous Dunwoody walker/talker, Stephanie Kayhan first mentioned her conversation with Tiffany the Traffic Stopper.

Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins This book is what I’d refer to as an addictive page turner! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Many are comparing it to Gone Girl and I definitely see the similarities. Being inside Rachel’s mind is heart breaking but I found myself desperately flipping the pages to figure out what the heck was going on! Here’s a good description from Amazon:
